Dang, when you said old-school, you meant REALLY old-school.

I'm excited to see how creative people will be with this; it's gonna be tough to do any unusual theming when we can't change the palette or tilesets.

Is editing the OW allowed? And if so, to what degree is it allowed?

Alright, this looks interesting. I might give it a shot.

One question though; are we allowed to redirect the midway entrance to another level or no?

Hey, I got a quick question about this contest. The level I am using to edit is "106" am I allowed to change Layer 1 (FG) Vertical Scrolling to "No Vertical Scroll at Bottom unless Flying/Etc" to "No Vertical Scroll?"

Usually the overworld is never factored in scoring unless it's for a contest for such.

You can edit the Overworld, but it will not be judged at all. Just make sure that:

1) Your name isn't visible anywhere in the OW (or anywhere else in your entry), and
2) The judges can reach your level without hassle.

After discussing it with the judges, I have decided to not allow this. I will update the rules accordingly.

Alright, that's fine.

One thing I want to point out is that; after patching in the base rom, I get this message:

Show: Show/Hide

Is that something I should worry about or ignore?

Still thinking on a description...

I didn't see anything in the rules that would disallow this, but I wanted to ask just to be sure.

Are 1-Up checkpoints allowed?

According to the rules you can't change the colors. You can only select between the existing palettes.

From what I can tell, everyone using the baserom has gotten this message. I'm not exactly sure why this happens, but according to people on Discord the baserom should still be fine to use. If you're not comfortable using it, though, I have provided the hex edit on its own if you want to patch it yourself.

I think I'll be fine. Considering it is just one level, I don't think it should be that big of a deal. I just wanted to know if it was something on my end or not.

Can the Level Mode be changed, for example changing in

to Level Mode 01 to 0A?

Yeah, you can use the other features in the

So is it permitted to use palettes from one foreground to another foreground? Example: Cavern palette in grass fg.
