Rules
- To Enter the contest, post in this thread. Specifically, what I'm looking for is your level submission to be entered into the Raffle. To explain, when you upload a level, that level has an ID tied to it that can be entered by others for them to play, that's what I want. Bonus points if you can take images or video of your level in action (though it won't increase your odds of winning).
- You're allowed to post more than 1 level, however you're only entered into the raffle ONCE. Still I encourage you to post more levels for the rest of the community to see and play.
- This will last from tomorrow (being the NA release date) all the way to October 1st, 2015 at 9 pm EST.
- While the thread title does say it's a contest, do note that neither myself nor the community is judging your level. This isn't a best of, but a community showcase. I do however encourage people to leave feedback (constructive) for levels though, what they like and what they didn't in response though. Remember, CONSTRUCTIVE feedback means explaining parts and breaking it down, it's ok to be critical, it's NOT ok to flame (I.E. The difference between "I feel like it may be a tad to difficult" and "This sucks, it's way to hard"). I will try (keyword TRY) to highlight what I think are the most interesting levels however in a video at the end of the contest. Don't forget to throw content creators a like if you enjoyed what they made.
- Usual Smashboards ToS apply.
Runner Up Prize (2 Raffles)
-A 20 dollar eShop points card (Can do for UK, USA, and Canada Eh 100%. If I'm unable to get an eShop card for your countries currency if you live outside of those countries, a compromise can be made later privately)
Grand Prize (1 Raffle)
-Your choice for a Pre Order paid in full (or possibly outright buy if it's already out in your region) of one of the following games (YOUR CHOICE, ONLY 1 THOUGH)
- Animal Crossing: Happy Home (3DS)
- Chibi-Robo! Zip-Lash (3DS)
- Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS)
- Yoshi's Wooly World (Wii U)
- Star Fox Zero (Wii U)
- Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U)
Q&A
Q: Why not give away something Mario related?
A: Well I thought about say, an Amiibo for example, but since this is out of my own wallet and you never know how hard those can be to get, I decided to ere away from them. As for say Mario Maker itself, well if you entered this contest chances are that's pretty useless to you.
Q: Why not a contest? My level is clearly the best!
A: Because if I judge them, that leads into subjectivity. For example, I'm not huge on say Kaizo "screw you" shenanigans in a Mario level, and I couldn't promise to be 100% objective. As for letting the community judge it via likes or votes, I'd rather avoid things feeling political or people trying to cheat to secure a victory. This is supposed to be fun after all, so we'll let lady luck decide.
If you have any other questions (ones actually from you guys) let me know and I'll add them in. Good luck everyone and here's to celebrating 30 years of Mario.
(This will be closed until later today once people start getting copies)
