Originally posted by FirePhoenixCutoff will be handled on a case-by-case basis. As a general point, cutoff is bad, but cases where cutoff is apparent that are similar to instances of cutoff in the original game will not be penalized.
So lets say we're looking at the castle background with the windows on it. There are small spots of cutoff where the thin blocks merge with larger ones, and there is no "corner tile" to those castle blocks by default. I'm guessing this is something that won't detract from our score?

^ Pretty sure it's what he said. Also is impossible to fix it, because we can't manipulate Map8x8.

GeminiRage: That is correct. Of course, you can manipulate the map16 tiles to try to avoid situations like that, but for stuff like vines that hang down and leave a little bit of a floating cutoff, don't worry too much.

About our "Technical aspects" will the "TIME OUT" glitch form dying in a level with no time take points off?

Not necessarily. With a bit thought and creative tile placement, you can have a layer 1/2 level with a background.
My level last year was a layer 1/2 level. I was able to do the whole "placing things over other things" and was still able to fit in a background. The only drawback was that since it used the same layers as the playable part of the level, it had to scroll at the same rate.

Can we edit the original Big Boo Boss room? You might say no, but hear me out. I decided to make a room with big boo boss in it, with the layout already done and some obstacles. When I enter that sublevel, random shelless koopa come from the top of the screen. They're around 8. No. I didn't place them there. They're nowhere in the editor. That's why I asked the first question. To avoid this kind of weird issue.

Are we allowed to use the priority-fix patch, so we can have layer priority in vertical levels?Please?

That I don't think so. Well, I'm done with my entry. I better post it in the submission thread.
Edit: I didn't notice this was my 2000th post. About the Big boo boos battle, I managed to move it in a different sublevel. The glitch is no more.

As for random shelless koopas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EcFDCEhYuY
I think you're allowed to edit Big Boo battle (as long you're only editing the layout and not its addresses), because it's done in LM, but you may want to wait for official response.
(also congratulations on 2000th post  )

Just a random question, by 2 exits does it mean 2 sublevels or 1 sublevel?

^ Eh, he's talking about OW exits, not level exits, feel free with the sublevels number

No, sorry. I don't want to set a precedent by allowing any patches, no matter how useful for bug fixing they are.

One more question before I make any major tweaks to my level. This one is regarding layer priority. You know how when Mario is behind an object with layer priority and he jumps into a ceiling (assuming it doesn't have priority), it can result in his hat showing up from behind the object?
Like this.
Would that be something to avoid?

To leave that in is kind of lazy in my opinion. It's easily avoidable by making a couple of map16 tiles that look the same but are layer priority enabled. I mean, you wouldn't lose points unless there was a lot of instances of this happening, but it's really simple to avoid and should be if possible.

Just to be sure...
Are we allowed to use the Fast-ROM feature, aren't us?
It's a LM feature.

Yay! This is my first time in the contest! I'll make a Super Mega Ultra Hack that will crush the other ones. (Good luck, guys. You'll need it. Muahahahaha).
I have only one question: Can I make non-animated munchers (with the "mouth" constantly opened, like they were frozen) with ExAnimation? Or that is considered editing the 8x8 tiles in the 8x8 Tile Editor? I think that should be acceptable, but, to be sure, I had to ask.
Again: good luck to all competitors.
