SM63 is back on Newgrounds

Thumbs up x1

Postby Asterocrat » February 5th, 2016, 11:25 am

Back in July 2013, Super Mario 63 was taken off of the Newgrounds sharing platform.

This week, however, I randomly stumbled upon Runouw's games on Newgrounds and there I saw that Super Mario 63 was, as a matter of fact, back. This IS Runouw's original upload, from 2009, so not a re-upload, and the 2012 update (which added Thwomps and Flame throwers) is present. Apparently, browsing the comments seems to indicate that the game was allowed back on Newgrounds around January 2015, as this is when the first comment after the C&D was posted (and comments are posted pretty regularly).

It doesn't change much, I just felt it was important news and therefore worth sharing with the members of the forum. I also didn't find any topic mentioning the return of SM63 on Newgrounds, and the wiki still says that SM63 cannot be found on Newgrounds. Some of us also did panic when the news broke back in 2013, so I feel it might be reassuring to some.

Damn, sir. You've landed a real lucky strike. I'm fixing the info on the Wiki right now. No miracle that 2015 was quite a resurrective year for the level designing scene!

Thank you, FF.

Rating standards: show
1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.
