I say Level4 is the absolute best technician, inventor and innovator in the level designing world. But I think that there are levels that are more than sorts of tests that people can enjoy as adventures. Fourinone has mastered this well. Not sure who my favorite is though. :) I have yet to really find out.

Yeah, as I said, I think level4 is by far the master of SM63 Level Designer exploiting, meaning that he could do things with the code to create things no other person would come close to thinking of, but though he did make several full-length levels, I don't think that they really have had the same general impact that four's, Krazy's, 24murph's, Volcove's, etc. have had. So I wouldn't call him the best in this sense…don't know who it goes to as I said before though.

They should make a pole for who the best level Designer is.

Good point. If we put everyone in, the list would be longer than the level code of a level titled "Final Boss"!

Well, there's only a maximum of 10 choices that can be put into a poll. So that would be impossible.

Probably Worst_master. He really inspired me and a lot of others to level design. The only reason as far as I can think why Star King uses good decor, as far as I know, (I haven't played his levels in months), is because I suggested to him to use more graphics. SuYo, though very talented, is more of an experimentalist.

Lol, kind of disappointed that nobody thought I was the best, but I guess if nobody thinks so, it is true. :roll:

That's true and I have to thank you. But still, I'm the one who make my levels. So, if levels are good, it's because of the Designer. But thanks.

And to stay in the poll... I think that for me, Worst_master and Runouw (of course) are the best level Designers.

I know you make very good levels, but I just noted that detail, leaving you out. You are still amazing, in some ways better than me.
