Japanese SMBX Contest - With Prizes! Judging HAS BEGUN!

[Waddle]

That's because the streaming wasn't going too well, so he's decided to start recording individual levels.

[Willhart]

I think that is nicer, since it can make for better video quality too, with no need for the chat taking part of the window.

The streams are interesting to watch and I love watching the reviews after the level is completed.
But what was wrong with two of the levels that were disqualified (so far), was there something bad in the folders or were they containing something incompatible?

They could not be opened by Iguzami and he may come back to them later if possible. Going off of Horikawa on Discord.

I do not remember seeing a single level get higher than a 23, which entry was Molt's?

It was an earlier one

[Ness-Wednesday]

That currently leads us with only 39 levels he hasn't judge yet, so we're nearly half done.
But I love watching the reviews and seeing his SMBX experience is quite amusing.

[iguzamini]

It is a standard of points.
It changes slightly at my discretion

[Willhart]

I can understand that. Hopefully I did not make my level too hard. Kind od wanted it to be fun for those who are looking for challenge too.

[underFlo]

"Easy to clear" should not be required because it eliminates hard but good levels, also what does "Color change" or "Another dimension" even mean??

[Sancles-Chan]

The graphics bit sounds like it's basically "How many custom graphics did you cram into this level? The more the better (Unless they are recolors, because those obviously hold less value)!"

[iguzamini]

Easy to Clear = Less retries
but Level with nothing object is boring
so,Player need Fun thing

[Horikawa Otane]

Iguzamini has work, so he'll be resuming his uploads on the 12th (JST). I'm excited to see my terrible level - I expect to get last place!

Lol, I am expecting for you getting a last place because you have the "worst" level pfft. Good luck, I guess.

But what about a hard level that is generous with midpoints, something akin to Super Meat Boy? There's a lot of deaths to be had but you respawn rather quickly and without any time inbetween so it's easy to learn how the game works.

I'm excited too. You have a good sense of humor. There is also one level someone else made that I'm looking forward to in particular. It had some amazing graphical work and cutscenes.

There is the fact that multiple checkpoints can only be done with LunaLUA (or SMW stars, but that requires people to get creative) but I totally agree with Spinda. Levels shouldn't be judged by their difficulty, but by the design and what the level itself has to offer.

Also, I think that some points on the review table could be stated better if they had a better translation, like the "Another Dimension" part.

[underFlo]

like the "Another Dimension" part.

clearly this is kirby bias striking again
