As promised, I'm happy to announce the first "No-Holds-Barred" level contest on SMW Central. We've had a couple of "vanilla" contests before, but it's time to see what the members of this site are really made of.
Because this is a "go all out" level contest, there are no real rules. You may use any resources from the site, you may make anything you want for your level, and you may do anything to enhance it. Custom sprites, blocks, music, bosses, whatever you want - go nuts. There are only a small set of requirements for this:
1. As obvious as this may seem, you must upload an IPS PATCH. Do NOT post your ROM in this thread, or it will be removed and you will be disqualified.
2. I swear, I spent 15 minutes trying to think of a decent #2, but couldn't.
Due to the nature of this contest, I'll be setting the deadline for a month away. September 30, 2009 will be the final date that levels are accepted. At that point, three judges (who have already been chosen, but will not be revealed this time) will rank the levels. Instead of previous contests where the rankings have been divided into sections, this one will simply be out of 100%. The more you pump into your level, the higher your percentage will be. Think about what makes a level fun - just having really cool music/bosses/etc, but awful level design, will not get you a good score. Try and make as much shine as you can. Deductions will come mainly from bugs, cutoffness, glitches, etc.
That's all. Keep all discussion and questions on this contest in the OTHER stickied thread - this one is for you to post your IPS patches only.
Have fun.
