Hey I was wondering if I made a level that appears to only be
beatable by preforming a glitch but there is a way to do it without glitches, would that be acceptable?
For instance if I put yoshi in a cage of cement blocks and two browns, and also inside is a purple p-switch. the player's first thought is that he/she has to do the glitch to be able to get yoshi but there is another hidden p-switch elsewhere. The glitch in question is the one with spinjumping with
a block under and above you, one thing I'd like to mention is if you
do the glitch you get yoshi faster than the normal way. Since it's
not required to beat the level does it make a difference?
Sorry for the wall of text but I've always been into hacking SMW
and up until recently haven't thought much about doing it for real rather for the fun of it, thanks for reading.

i would think so since it doesnt require a glitch, if i knew how, id probably hide it behind a bush or put a chuck ontop of it but in something it cant get out of, i think the puntin chuck would do ok in a case like that. of course it being to difficult is also a factor,

Yeah I hid the p-switch in a sub area beyond a pipe, your idea is much better, would I be able to use that idea? Also there is a keyhole in cement blocks to give the player the illusion that they need to glitch,
but really there is another keyhole elsewhere out in the open albeit more hidden.

The yoshi in a cage is ok but i would avoid the keyhole in the blocks. Mods probably won't like that to much.

Oh, but that one is a false one, even though you could use is with the
glitch there is another keyhole hidden in the level meaning you don't have to do the glitch to beat it. Also would you know how I could make it so that the p-switch appears behind other sprites? I tried to put a chuck over it but when I saved it in lunar magic it just came to the front again.

I don't think it's a problem but a moderator might think you have to do the glitch. (I.E the kaizo breaker level in EVW)

Honestly, I just don't see the point. If the player doesn't know the glitch, then the effect is lost on him/her. If the player does know the glitch, it's mostly a red herring, and I'm not a fan of red herrings in serious hacks. I just feel like there are better things to do with your levels.

I think this is a bad idea as you could abuse glitches.
However, you can change your level design so you still have the puzzle, but there is no glitch.

Like chainfire said, if the player does not know the glitch, there would be no way to beat the level, assuming that the glitch was the only way to beat the level.
Good luck with your next level.

Hey, thanks for all the advice guys, I took out all the glitch parts
and worked with what the level was before, I was wondering if anyone would want to lp my level or something so I could get an idea for what needs improving. If this isn't the best place to ask this just let me know. By the way nothing but this one level is changed(not even the name).

Is there a way to pm something without having to install a program on my computer? if not then all I can do is send it by way of email. World 1 is completed so far but the switch palace isn't changed and the first level has a secret exit. and the boss idea is just something I came up with a while ago.

Just upload the file to a site, and then provide the download link in a PM.

The thing is I don't know how to send pms. I made a quick fix of the problem though, just click on my user name and it's in my files uploaded. for future reference if anyone wants to LP this just let me know by sending me a message on youtube my user name there is hypershadic88.

Might LP it. May not, depends on whether I can get my computer to not crash when I record ZSNES.

Using glitches to beat hacks are not allowed here!!!

He said it's not required.
And to send PMs, go to the profile of the person you want to PM, and at the bottom of the page will be an option called Send Message.
