  1. The first Level Design contest was such a big hit, I want to make this a monthly trend! Let's come up with all sorts of level design ideas and do a new one every month(ish)! Another thing I want to do differently is make sure to announce them well in advance, so people can begin building levels well ahead of time. So, upcoming contest ideas are posted below (dates I’m not 100% sure on, will have to see how many entries I get). Lastly, I am going to allow mario romhack levels (SMB1, SMB3, SMW, YI, SM64, whatever!) as well as Mario Maker levels, so pick your poison! Lastly, I want to offer an additional reward going forward for the best “amateur level” – in other words, a level from someone who isn’t an established creator in the Mario Maker community, to encourage new people to give level making a try!

  29. - Best is judged by what makes me and the viewers laugh, clap, and scream the most
  30. - In other words, the goal is FUN, if it is not fun I will skip it
