Super Mario Brothers X - Level Contest Part 2

For those that haven't seen it, there is now an entire board on the forums devoted to this contest. Check it out and post your submissions there, ask for help, etc.

The following is a copy/paste of what is in the post:


Here it is! The continuation of the Super Mario Bros. X level contest from back in November. We had a ton of great entries then, and I'm hoping for a similar response this time.

RULES:

- Download the FREE Super Mario Brothers X http://download.cnet.com/Super-Mario-Bros-X/3000-7433_4-10962266.html
- Use the level editor to make the best, most creative level you can. We're not going for extreme difficulty, make it challenging, but doable.
- The level can have any theme you choose, and can be fairly long; but try to make it look nice and try not to make it too long. The length of an average Mario Brothers 3 level is perfect.
- You can upload the level to http://www.mediafire.com/ and post your submission as a post in this forum. You can post it in incomplete form, but myself and whoever else judges the levels will not play them until they are 100% complete or the deadline is met.
- The levels will be judged by myself and other streamers ON STREAM! That's right, all seriously submitted levels will be played on stream for all to see!

PRIZES:

- First Place: Your choice of a $30 Steam game.
- Second Place: Your choice of a $20 Steam game.
- Third Place: Your choice of a $10 Steam game.

DUE DATE:

- Due date is Saturday, July 2nd, 2011.

LEVEL SETUP:

- You MUST divide your levels into one of two categories. Troll Levels or Campaign Levels.
- Troll Levels are exactly what they sound like. They can be funny, a bit trolly, or even more difficult, but still completable. Troll Levels, although fun, will be MUCH harder to win the contest with. No one likes getting trolled.
- Campaign Levels are levels that are reminiscent of old Mario levels. You can put your own unique twist on the classic level format, but make sure it's playable and not frustrating. Mario 3/World levels are closer to what I'm looking for here.
- When you make your forum post about your level, be sure to say what kind of level it is.
- You can create a world with multiple levels if you so choose, but keep the number of levels to a minimum. Anything over 3 and we'll be way less inclined to rate them, or even play them for that matter.
- Throwing a vinesauce meme or two in a level as a joke is perfectly acceptable. Also, NOT EVERY LEVEL NEEDS A BOSS!! Keep your levels classy.


If you need help, it's best to ask a veteran of the previous contest for help, or google whatever you might need to find. To everyone participating, use this forum to your advantage when creating your levels and be sure to help out a brother in need. Any questions? Ask here. Well, that's it, good luck and godspeed!
