This contest is why I registered into SMWC!
The entry was so rushed it unfortunately was released broken, making 1 of the 2 exits impossible!
Not to mention a LOT of cheese had been found...
Yeah, I run out of time for making sure nothing broke. Next year I hope I will use testers.
Luckily, it can be reasonablely beaten as a 1-exit entry.
I immediatly tried to update the entry after the deadline by asking the organizer, but there's no past-deadline penalty update... Since the level didn't work as I intended, it got DQ (still better than getting last place)

An unique take at kaizo (that unfortunately wasn't avaiable since broken in the contest) that use different kind of checkpoints depending of the difficulty, as yellow one aren't avaiable at the hard exit. It also features when easy exit beaten a checkpoint warp room and doors to train the player like savestates practicing to get it ready to challeng the hard exit! A cool boss await at the hard path
Of course the main gimmick is the different kind of vines such as poisonous ones and uncatchable ones. Sorry if the screen looks very cluttered

A mini level about spinning, I was running out of time again .
This level doesn't use any MAP16 (I could be wrong LOL) even through it's allowed!
This level length is aiming to be SMB3 length, still a bit too short
Will you get lucky at the optional bonus room?
Also sorry for the cringeful intro section joke

Yep, the title screen of this entry is my avatar image ! (also the mariOWO is accidental, oops).
Not lore: Mario made a questionable decision, going into a random restroom for no reason! It happen that the only way to get out is to collect 5 dragon coins to exit! (But... a very well hidden worthless secret path exits...)
My entry was making the player says "Why?", aiming to be a bad but not terrible experience. I think I missed the point of the contest .
The features of this entry are the level replay cooldown like some mobile games (YIKES!), checkpoints became just a weak power-up, YUMP1-like level style with a bit of ASM.
The .zip contains a .txt file explaining how to get the secret path (same exit), originally it was to be the secret exit path, only to check that secret exits are unallowed at the last hour of the submission time!
Fun fact: All the custom music is rated 1.0 from the music section at the time of the contest.

My best work as of june 2022, I got a genius idea about the theme of winter: What if the air is too cold to take a spring bath safely?
Lore: Mario goes to a pointless trip at the hot spring at winter.
The main gimmick is not the water but the transition between in and out of the water hurts, unless being on the ground! (No UberAsm is used, only map16 custom code!)
Other features like good secrets (too bad no one actually tried to get it), I even included a .txt file to help the player get easily all of them (please try it if you want to try this level). Also the overworld is one of the most memorable in a very unusual way .
It also contains the "BEST" life farm ever . (Disclaimer: The jokes are absolutely NOT intended to offend any person or group)
This pointless trip is possible to beat obviously.
Yeah the visual is very vanilla, I will try to get better about it. The water graphics is actually semi-custom (like a camera shift) to better match the hitbox of the tiles.

I did this level around at the last 6 hours, I wanted to remake my least favorite QLDC2021 entry's gimmick.
This time I aimed to make a good level about that bad gimmick, every sprite except mario is invisible; In other words, every sprite is in(tern )visible, except Mario who is ex(tern )visible!
Unlike the original entry, there's coin indicators to help Mario going through the level. Also the level is short to not overwelcome this gimmick. There's a dumb puzzle at the end (it's not trial and error if the player is smart enougth).
