Hey DGR! Thanks for commenting haha Oops, sorry the link was broken. I've made a new upload of the level, it's now available here: bin.smwcentral.net/u/33380/Vanished_Plumber.net_1.15.bps (Link in the description has also been updated) Thank you for being interested! Hope you enjoy the level! =D

@@ecs.98 Thank you so much! Looking forward to playing it :D

Hey, thank you! I haven't really shot for a specific placement, but hopefully people will like it haha And well, i hadn't checked your level before, but i did it now. Pretty nice

Oh, hey there! Thank you <3 I'm really proud of everything in this level! The aesthetics were completely new to me, so i'm honestly amazed at how clean i could get everything to look haha I'm glad to know it's one of your favorites! And thank you for all your support during the making of this level hehe

Thank you! I did make use of a lot of horizontal space, mostly because the Spike Top setups required some room to be built in a non trivial manner (each of them take up 2 to 3 screens) I ended up using 0E screens on each half, which was a little concerning for me, but i tried to make the level not too setup dense, to account for the length. This is one of those cases where i tried making the level fun and varied enough that it justifies its length, we'll see how well that is received.

Hey! Thank you so much! I'm glad to know you liked the level! And the jokes haha I'm pretty proud of how this level turned out! Especially with a certain someone helping with testing 😉 I'm really glad to be back in action with Rom hacking (or at least publicly hehe), and this level was a great way to come back!

Oh hello! Thank you so much! Haha My main idea for this was "Hm, how to take a star run and make it absolutely brutal to play?" lol In the end the star timer is too long to make a level that requires precision, so using power-ups worked for that and even allowed me to get creative with it hehe (And yep, totally new upload lol. I mean, it works for the sake of finally having it public)

Hey! (Rissa? Never seen before... lol) Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! (Also stay tuned for more content, there will sure be more... i just don't know when xD)

Haha, obrigado! Eu decidi honrar as minhas raízes brasileiras nesse level xD

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! Yea, i look forward to the results of this contest!

Thank you!

Yep, i should have used the patch that displays level names, and changed the name to "Triple Star" in the second half xD

Thank you!

Imo, length shouldn't be an issue if the level is fun, and this is a good level

Yea, the level is centairly on the longer side, it ended up being longer than i planned, especially due to the second section and the moving layer 2. Although i do agree with N450 in that length isn't by itself an issue, as long as the level is reasonable with splitting its sections and manages to remain interesting for the entirety of its duration, that's what i tried to achieve at least. But i am aware that, in a contest with a strict time limit rule, the level being this long could potentially become an issue, unfortunately.

Thank you!

Thanks! Yes, this contest came at a great time! After having my first experiences with level design with VLDC11 and Kochobo Dourado, i now got some experience with OW designing as well!

Thank you for the feedback! Yea, now that i stop to think, the Thwomps were indeed pretty similar. I used them mostly as basic obstacles, similar to how SMB3 does, and they usually only appeared as 'buffer' segments between the more gimmicky setups (Only in the end i incorporated them into the gimmicky setups).

Thank you!

Thanks! Yea, vanilla SMW has a lot of objects, mechanics, glitches and stuff that allow for a lot of really clever levels! The potential is pretty much unlimited!

Thanks for the words and the suggestion! I changed the Layer 3 BG scroll, and it does look better now that it isn't static!

Thanks!

Most of the glitches used in the level are based on Sprite Slot management. Basically, filling the Sprite Slots at specific times to despawn other sprites.

Thank you!
