Jokes aside tho, this was certainly not something I was particularly expecting, but it was definitely nice to see honestly; I guess now I pretty much have to drop that album at some point haha
C3 is now over. Sad times, huh? My name is idol.
It's not. It's also not "Mr. Switchy", "Mr. Witchy", and I have nothing to do with those persons mentioned. If you're told otherwise, they're lying.
Let's get on with the awards show. No further questions.
1UPdudes strikes yet again, claiming that sweet first place in Best Feedback. Is that because his name always appears at the top when voting in that category and you cba to scroll down? Or is his feedback just that good, huh? And let's not forget both Veck and Deeke who our the runners-up here - not a patch on how many votes 17UPdudes got, though!
Extra Mario World clearly got some "Extra Votes" here to be winning this category... Yeah? Right? Ahem. Okay, I'll show myself out.
Slight feeling of deja vu from this category. Feel like most of these have already won a trophy! Who knew that music, water, and a realm could be such game changers.
AddMusicFR continuing the trophy sweep. Not even JUMP Team are a match for them. "FR" stands for French Revolution, yeah? Oh, it's "Fortaleza Reznor"? Didn't know they needed their own AddMusic version.
I have no intentions of looking at what Scary Bosses and Nice Sprites are in that thread. I'm scared of my own boss, I don't need anymore.
Extra Mario World's already won enough; Sicari is cute and fun and you should play it; and third place goes to the hack about the boy who plays games. Amazing.
We've already mentioned 1st and 2nd place here, so all I have to say is:
Who would have thought, a hack by JUMP Team winning 1st place in a kaizo category. Boy, this is a surprise.
Three years and MarkAlarm hasn't finished his hack? Time to quit the day job and start ROM hacking full time, Mark! I want to see it finished by tomorrow.
An eclectic selection of Mario, penguins🐧, and wetlands. I encourage someone to use all three of those in a project for next C3. Good luck!
They say, good things come in small packages. The best presents are always the small ones. And these threads prove me right!
If only all our collabs could be worked on as quick as Amper's fun little C3 collab. We'd be on SMWCP 4197 by now!
I don't think cool facts are weird, and neither is Chuck.Shame on you if you voted for these threads in this category.
idol has shown off the prettiest images, it's a fact. One day, these screenshots will be printed on a canvas and sold for a high price like the artwork of Leonardo DiCaprio.
These trailers are some top-notch... Trailer-ing?? If you were to see one of these in an ad-break of your favourite TV program, you'd never know it was a ROM hack, that's for sure!
If you're after some pretty graphics, then you should speak to Anora, Rykon, Roberto, or Dark Prince. Or, you could just look at their C3 threads instead. I suppose that's better than hassling them.
I'm from the future, and the music from these threads have gone down in history as masterpieces.
Shoutouts to the SMW Central nerds who make ASM. They have big heads for big brains and require a double door to get in their houses.
And if ASM isn't hard enough, these guys have even bigger heads for bigger brains and make tools. If they were really smart enough, they could find a way to store their big brains on a USB stick instead of making dumb Mario tools. That's what I'd do.
These are the people you kept busy over C3 because they were making stuff for you. What a way to spend the weekend.
I like art. It's pretty. Art isn't just pretty pictures. It's music, words, and ugly pictures too. Here's my art. I'm gonna show it off next C3 - right now it's just a secret between you and me babe ;) so shhhhhhh! 🤫
No one really knew what was going on here, but these threads deserved a trophy nonetheless. Chaos and carnage.
We did this last time for our Honorary Mentions; and it worked well. So, we did it again! This time, there was a big big tie in first place once we filtered out everyone else who already won stuff. Good job!
Well, that's all from me. However, I've been told The Magician has a few words to add after I've posted this. So, keep on reading. It's about time we found out about Mr. Switchy, hey?
It's not. It's also not "Mr. Switchy", "Mr. Witchy", and I have nothing to do with those persons mentioned. If you're told otherwise, they're lying.
Let's get on with the awards show. No further questions.
