... Why can't I make trophies like that? D': You made me so jealous SK. OR I can just win a music one in a couple of years when we do the whole thing again, that's if I'm lucky enough to get in the top 10. :D

I try out my Final Rush level and can't get past the jump onto the damn fourth asteroid and get a headache. Wee....

Unexpected indeed. Didn't expect such a cameo.

Otherwise, the trophies all look quite impressive; well done Star King.
As for the favorite (aside from the penguin, of course), I find the Explorer Guy trophy to be the most appealing.
Will do sporadic level reviews on request - PM if interested. I will only do one level at a time. I tend to be rather critical.
Spoiler: show
Both made by MoD, naturally.

Lol welcome back Murph. :P (though I've never talked to you in my life :3) You might get a snazzy new medal if MoD allows it. xD

I didn't win a trophy this time, but I'm still glad I made the 20th spot. : D

Glad to hear I made this list, even if I am in last place. :roll:
Still haven't figured out how I won the 7th LDC. Saying that Blablob's Tomb is my best level really isn't saying much, is it? But I can live with it.
Maybe I should make another level one of these days...

Congratz to Murph and everyone else who made this list! You all deserved it. Oh, and Star, nice job on the trophies! And of course, thanks to MOY, Volcove, SMIC, and Venexis for composing this list.

Hmm... I was just thinking that having a general list for the 2009-10 list is kinda awkward seeing as all the rest are in yearly formats, so I was considering cutting the list into parts- the 2009s and 2010s. 2009 would include Space Colony as that was added on January 2nd, so work commenced through 2009. Plus it explains my delay in putting up Shroomsday and Disaster Strikes. :P

If this were to happen, the lists would look like this.

2009

1. The Final Rush by 24murph
2. The Ethereal Mansion
3. Arid, Arid Desert
4. Space Colony
5. Bowser's New Castle by 24murph
6. Bowser's Volcano Lair by Krazy321
7. Power Plant by Level4
8. Newer Super Mario Bros 3-1 by Kirby859
9. Halloween Special by Demonik
10. Lake of Eternal Silence by Ayrayen
11. Freezeflame Galaxy


A short list but pretty succinctly summarizing 2009's legendary levels. Maybe I'll take the liberty to add 4 more to make 15.

2010

1. Temple of the Penguin God by Volcove
2. Explorer Guy and the Ancient Temple by Zebtrestalala
3. Alignment of Fates by MessengerOfDreams and Venexis
4. Calamari Cove by Venexis
5. Shroomsday by Avolerators
6. Level of Darkness by Avolerators
7. Paradox Bridge by Volcove
8. Ship Below by Buffooner
9. Leisurely Voyage by Aznchau4ever
10. Seasonease Galaxy by Nin10mode
11. Nimbus Gardens by Cryokenetic
12. Wet Cave by Star king
13. Airship Rescue by Yoshi Boo 118
14. Lost Treasure by MICrophone'
15. Wiggler Fields by Worst_master
16. Doram's Castle by Doram
17. It's a Garden! by Buffooner
18. Disaster Strikes by Killswitch
19. Blablob's Tomb by Blablob


I have an idea for a 20th, one I forgot in the conception of WITBLOAT.

Let me know what you think of these changes- the top 6 of 2010 and top 4 of 2009 would still get their medals if they ever officially get them.
