Contest Theme Suggestions

[Venexis]

Uh, earth to Ven, Jello and Mic, we can't do that. How can we do something like that, it's impossible. If you wanna do something like that, go on EE.

[hint]warp pipes to another part of the level that is really just the other dimension[/hint]

Exactly. Say you're in a building with a chandelier or something on the roof. You go through the warp pipe on the ground, and come out in an identical room, only now the roof (and chandelier) is where one of the walls was. The whole thing is an exact copy, rotated 90 degrees. Going through another pipe would flip the roof to the bottom, so the floor is the new roof, or flip the whole thing right side up again. Making a mansion with mutiple rooms like this would be insane, you'd have to not only remember what leads where, but also which way the true "up" is. And, you know, find the Shine.

Again, multiple ideas could work here, not just flipping buildings around. Prizes to the most bizarre!

How about pixel art levels?

[Avo]

I think that would make more sense in Everybody Edits but not in SM63, Because you can't really see what the pixel's supposed to be.

I think a cool level would be one consisting of the most glitches and code changes, like disabled and souped up items, cool glitches, etc...

[Killswitch]

That my friend, has been already been suggested.

I think this automatically gives certain users with more knowledge of glitches an advantage - newer users who have not had as much time to learn stuff like this would almost certainly lose. Plus, levels consisting primarily of glitch and code changes are often more tedious than interesting, unless it's like a Glitch Museum, but if we did that than in all likelihood everyone would have very similar glitches.

…uh…how would that work?

If you are creative, (I am not secretly portraying anything, I'm just saying if you are creative) you could figure something out. That is the fun of the contest... Seeing what people could figure out, and what it will be like.

I agree, how about a level about your favorite cartoon?

[Blablob]

Okay, we're being a little rediculous here. Let's not forget that the designer was created for the sole sake of Mario levels. Cartoons and Musical Instrument themes sound....well, different, but they don't sound like anything that anyone can do for the Level Designer--except for the most superb designers. But for sake of attracting the most contestants, we need to keep these themes simple and accessible for everyone.
