I'm not the host of course, but I thought it would be useful to emphasise that it's "Bowser's Castle". I suppose a temple would fit more with a desert oasis type theme.

Well, its still Bowser's. It's just a slightly different structure.

Pretty sure it's fine. It will not be the first time in a Mario game that Bowser's Castle is not exactly a castle (SMG, NSMB World 2-Castle, etc.)

You get Towers too, right?

Also, my level is set in a Desert for part 1(Hot), and an underground maze for part 2(Cold). They do still contain the Hot + Cold theme, so I can still use it can't I?

Yes, as long as there is a link between the levels/parts.

@Moy
Bowser's Castle traditionally is a fire themed castle level. However, if you look at SMW you can see that few of other castles were different - one being underwater. So if you can channel the whole castle aspect, then I believe it should fit.

More incentive: After the 25th LDC, we start the all-stars of WITBLO, WITBLOAT. Best levels OF ALL TIME. The 25th LDC will be the cap, and the winner has a shot of being in the running. So work on it. You never know.

I don't think a WITBLOAT is really necessary IMO anymore because we have a WITBLO every year now. It would be a bit disheartening if a really great level was made after a new overall WITBLOAT is released, that would have a chance in making the top spot.

As for my entry, I'm working slowly atm but I'm getting as much as I can done. Only problem is I'm on holiday all next week so I'm gonna lose a lot of time, which is frustrating. And I really don't want to plead for an extension unless I have to.

Maybe going for something more simple then? It doesn't have to be a giant series. One level entrants are easier to judge and a short level doesn't automatically need to be bad.


<MessengerOfDreams>: Have I ever competed in the same competition as you, BY?
<MessengerOfDreams>: I've managed to dodge every LDC you completed an entrant for
<MessengerOfDreams>: and I've never dueled you
<MessengerOfDreams>: and I'm thinking about it... after this LDC
<MessengerOfDreams>: or you can enter this LDC so I can beat you up
<MessengerOfDreams>: Please do. I'm playing hard



Uhm. Why not? I will try to design something in time.

Apparently there are a few people entering this LDC who'd love to beat me. (It's not hard at all, because I suck at SM63. It's just people overrating my stuff for no reason at all.)

Big thank you to FrozenFire who created this masterpiece. : )

I've already planned something and started a second level. I could always postpone the third level till after the LDC but still it wouldn't make sense. Besides I find it hard to leave things incomplete.
