The mystery aftermath (and C3 Mosts results, while we're at that)

Good day, members of SMWCentral - I trust you all have enjoyed the fine festivities of your so-called "Central Creativity Convention"? It's a good day, yes, a splendid day, indeed because I believe we have finally caught the culprits of this malicious act toward our dear Mario! Now, first and foremost I would like to apologize for not being able to chitchat with all of you. Rest assured it is because I have been hard at work cracking the mystery of this stubborn case. Just like you good fellows! After finally getting a straight answer, and a full admittance to the crime from some of the original suspects, I believe we finally have a conclusive idea of what transpired here at the Princess's party:

Like all great stories, we must start at the very beginning. The guests arrived at 10:30 in the morning like Toadsworth said. To begin, they spent a couple hours golfing on a series of courses, which I believe was the “calm period” of the party, as in nothing malicious (that I know of) happened during it. From there, the crew went kart racing on some of the many tracks owned by the Princess. It was during this time that the cake was moved by Bowser Jr., Wario, Waluigi, Luigi, and Yoshi to be safely eaten later in the party. Next, they went about with what they called... er, Mario Party? Oddly specific name. Anyway, it was during these games that the cake was eaten by - once again - Bowser Jr., Wario, Waluigi, and Yoshi. Why didn't Luigi eat the cake after going to the trouble of moving it with the other? Who knows? Perhaps the guilt of having done a crime had made him lose his appetite. Regardless, they next moved onto yet another sport, Tennis. While nothing really transpired during the hours spent going back and forth in what I assume were amateur matches, it's now known that the cake had been eaten right before then, so it's not surprising in the slightest that cake frosting was found on some of the rackets. Sloppy work, I say!

And last, but most certainly not least, we get to the dreaded basketball games where Mario acted as the referee. Something which almost did him in. A few repeated fouls on some particularly troublemaking players caused a certain few of those troublemakers to harbor a grudge - or should I say - an even bigger grudge than the one already held. If I had known the background between Mario and Bowser Jr., my detective instincts would have kicked into overdrive, and I would've almost immediately figured out it was him! Using some strange device, or, article of clothing around his neck, Bowser Jr. had been able to turn into some strange imitation of our dear boy, and thus, plant the near identical footprints. I guess Mario's gotten new shoes since then?

Thank you, I repeat - thank you for your help, SMWC. Though, if I am to completely honest with you all... I must thank a few of you above all.

leod, Gloomier, and Falconpunch; you three not only helped cracked the case, but you also showed exemplary skill in observation, and applied very sound logic to the few clues found along the way. Yes, very admirable indeed! Who knows? Perhaps a certain one of you may even become as wonderful a detective as I am one day!

Along with the three of them, I have a group of other select users I'd like to thank for their hard work. You might've not solved the case, or applied the best logic you could have - but you still tried your best, and that's an admirable feat in and of itself, you know! What you sent me most certainly contributed to the case in any regard. A list of these users (in no particular order, of course!):

- Final Theory
- Hobz
- TheBasicASMGuy
- Blind Devil
- ft029
- kamekku14
- Eminus
- Wavee
- Noivern
- Theultimate12

And with all that said, this case is now officially closed and added to the ever-expanding list of mysteries now solved by yours truly. While this is most certainly splendid news itself, it also unfortunately means that my time here is now finished. I must bid farewell, however sad it may be! I fear I've been absent from the Poshley Sanctum for far too long now, and I have things I must tend to as soon as possible. Who knows what sort of things could have happened to it while its caretaker was away on some case! It's been a wonderful time, members of Super Mario World Central, and I wish the best of luck in your future. Until then!

...oh, and before I forget, I was also asked to post the results of a vote you all apparently held in accordance with this C3 I've heard so much about. Not sure what that's all about, but here you go anyway:

Cheers!
And I would like to take a moment to thank a few people for making C3 possible.

Hook was our writer - he made the plot and wrote various Pennington strings, including his threads and the clues. Thanks a lot for being up the challenge and fulfilling it!
Big thanks to Gloomier, who came up with the basic idea of the gimmick and was always there to help when needed. Biggie thanks to leod and Wavee, who came up with the banner and scheme with graphical assistance from amhunter. And a very big thanks to Alcaro, who coded the bot and always kept me updated on how things were going. Thanks to various other staff members who were supportive and helpful, too.

I hope you all enjoyed C3 - this was the first really big thing I had to handle as head of the PR team and it got pretty tricky at times, but seeing that some people enjoyed the gimmick we put together and also the event itself really makes me happy!

I hope to be able to actually enjoy C3 as well again next time. It shouldn't be as hard to pull off as this one #smw{^_^;}
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
not bad, pr dudes.

I guess he left you at voicemail? #wario{-_-?}
Oh WOW.

Shoutouts to Wind Fish's TreeThree thread, allowsicous's MARIO SUPER, and JUMP1/2. They were by far the most inspiring.

Also, the music competition was really tight again!
Wow, this is incredible. Thanks so much for the nominations everyone, it means so much to release something that so many people enjoy enough to nominate. Cheers!
BAE WON 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 <333333

also woah I wasnt expecting to win so many trophies!!! especially for some not dumb joke hack
My bae won even more than me #wario{<3}#smw{<3}#wario{<3}#smw{<3}#wario{<3}#smw{<3}#wario{<3}#smw{<3}#wario{<3}

Congrats to everyone who won some measly C3 trophies while I'm sitting here with my Grand Pennington Award, though!
Shoutouts to the AGDQ Super Mario Sunshine race I watched yesterday, that opened my eyes to a lot of what may have happened in this case of serious criminal activity.
Your layout has been removed.
I wouldn't have minded the Pennington or Paddington detective story as long as ALL the information was given upfront from the start, but in all honesty I think I got like 7 PM's with extra info in them and I only read like 2 of them kinda.

Why not just post all the info publicly? Also it seemed as if there was a bot who would send me a PM every time I would post a reply at C3.

And what? Bowser Jr. was the one who ate the cake? But, Bowser Jr. doesn't wear any shoes so I can't accept that answer.

Also I thought the voting was a little confusing. For example, there wasn't a section called "best new tool". So for the people who coded new tools I didn't know where I should vote for them.

Probably should've read all of those PMs, then. That "extra info" was the whole point of this.

That would've taken the fun out of it, as its whole purpose was to encourage users to participate in C3. The more you left posts in peoples's threads, the more clues you got.

In case you didn't play Sunshine, I also left a little tidbit about that in the post above. Not too descript, but it gets the point across fine enough. And furthermore, Bowser Jr. was the one who planted the false evidence that Mario did the crime—he wasn't the only one who ate the cake, as stated in the original post.
can't believe i was in that list of contributors



cool. what do i get?
formerly known as TheBasicASMGuy or TBASMGuy for short. hi.

Because your thread went all sexual on us...lol. Actually its because you drew like a million drawings. Really funny ones too.

In case you didn't play Sunshine


I never actually got a change to play Super Mario Sunshine. I'm really out of touch with current video games.

The last Nintendo system I owned was the Nintendo 64. Never owned a Gamecube and so never played ANY of the gamecube games. Never owned a Wii or Wii U so never played any of those games either and I'm probably not going to own a Switch.
I didn't even release a demo for my hack and yet I still won two trophies, which I wasn't expecting at all. Thanks a lot to those who voted for my thread!

Congratulations to all the other winners as well, I've seen some impressive content during this C3, and I hope to see even more during the next one.
Why this time no full/raw results?
Oh and of course, congratulations to winners #smw{:peace:}


Oh wow 2nd best music? I was being pessimist since I didn't make it to the featured ropebox; this was a pleasant surprise!
Congratulations to everyone who won something too. This was a fun C3!
I'm disappointed that the game I spent so much time on got nothing but the graphics I made in a jiffy got six votes.

Better than nothing I suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My thoughts exactly.
I released a tool, that doesn't even work by default, since I messed up the default path for a file, you have to run the tool (it fails) move the routines.asm in the asm folder and run it again.
Since I had an important test, I also paid little to no attention to my thread at all
... and I somehow won 3 trophies with that?
