that cylinder there is a pipe.

Yeah, dude who made Masochistic Mission used one of his level for the first hard level contest, and this hack is a compilation of those levels.

to describe what is going on in that video:

You know that place where there is a star, and you have to run on spikes? Just before that there is a yellow spinny shell, and before that there is a block. Basically, you want to grab that yellow shell, get the star to stand on some spikes in orther to hit that block, and get a p-switch. Press the p-switch, and you get some blocks. Follow those blocks, you'll find a pipe that leads you to a room. In this room, instead of leaving with the pipe, fly off the hole in the ceiling allllll the way to the right, as far as you can.

If it's not clear it's because it's genuinely kinda complex and hard to describe with words!

I suppose I could share this with you all, for those who may not have seen it.

Sort of what I did with the last chocolate contest?

Hmm. Do y'all reckon there would be the same level of interest? I know i'd be curious.

I thought the body of the level was fine, but the end makes no sense and feels rushed.

That's the tl;dr version of my 'review' if you want to call it that.

You really shouldn't make your level in according to a possible playthrough on my end. You should make a level you find is genuinely awesome. If you find it awesome, then the chances are good that others will find it awesome!

That, in the end, is all that matters!

(also yoshi island is making me cope with nonlinearity)

I don't understand why 'vanilla' seems so hard to grasp for some of you guys.

I always was under the assumption that 'Vanilla' translated to 'you are limited to using Lunar Magic'.

But it seems things are definitely not as cleancut!

I suppose I am being whom I just complained about, but I WOULD be allowed to, say, use yy-chr, to create exgrx files using the exact same vanilla graphics? Like, say I want thwomps and spinies together?

I ask since it is NOT as clearcut as I thought it was.

Not that I mean anything here, by the way.

*cough*

go to 4:27.

BANG, instant yellow yoshi, pure vanilla.

I am officially retiring from 'hard hack making' or whatever.

I cannot understand a community that can put together 'too easy' and 'using slowdown' together.

It's like... wuh?

GUYYYSSSS, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

This contest is REALLLLYY SERIOUUUSSSS.

*huffs and puffs and straightens out his hat*

<serious snype>

If I could, I'd try to arrange it so I'd never 'level' 'beyond' muncher.

I just want to state that I have decided that I would do a playthrough of the contest entry at a later date, a bit after the contest results are given. I'll be using the same format as during Chocolate '09.

I state this here because if an individual, for whatever reason whatsoever, does not want me to play the game for YouTube, I want them to tell me, either here or through pm or whatever, so I can skip over it.

I would LOVE to play through the whole thing, but I know some people are like that, and I try to respect that when I can.

If that's the case, I may just have to do two a shot. Maybe, like, two a shot for the runner ups, and a single shot for the top ten, or something like that.

edit - what's with me and snypes

I think 'vanilla' is a fitting name, because, I mean, 'vanilla' is an actual flavour you know!

For a 'absolutely nothing but lunarmagic as is and nothing else at all ever', you'd have to find something that is truly flavourless, like water.

I thought about making a level of the contest, but I decided that I'm not going too.

I had exactly one idea, and it was to replace boos with berrie graphics and have them rempaging in a garden. It would be hilarious!

Someone please steal my idea.

jesus guys, for all intent and purposes, that looks fine for what it intends to do. For the lower munchers though, dude, it's easy to just, like, put blocks under them? It's not like you need lava under the munchers.

Say, can I add an asm that lets me permantently have a cape and fireflower at the same time, while having a three health point system?

Since you allow custom music I think that's only fair.

Seriously people, at this point, if you have to ask, you're probably not allowed. Use some judgement.
