Let’s see what you can do!
UPDATE: Entry for this contest is now closed. Thank you everybody who submitted a level.
Earlier this month, after more than a year of waiting, Nintendo finally released Super Mario Maker on the Wii U. Our own Chris Carter liked it, and with more than one million levels created so far, it seems the rest of the world really likes this game too. I personally have had a blast over the last week playing levels designed by Destructoid users; and in doing so I realized we needed a better way to showcase those of you who are creating some truly outstanding content.
That’s why I’m happy to announce a new feature here at Destructoid called Dtoid Designs.
Dtoid Designs aims to showcase the level creation skills of you, the Destructoid community. Each month we’ll present you with a new challenge and you’ll have two weeks to create the best level you can based around a theme. After that, the levels will be played, scored and ranked with the best of the month getting highlighted right here at Destructoid.
Normally, we’ll start each contest at the beginning of the month, but we’re going to start this one a little early to give you some extra time to make a totally bitchin’ level. There are no restrictions on what types of levels you can make, only restrictions on how many: you may only submit one level per contest. If you enter more than once, only the first level submitted will be considered. Each level will be judged on several factors, including: creativity, how fun the level is, whether it meets the theme, and if the level is beatable.
For now, we’re limiting this feature to just Super Mario Maker, however that can change in the future depending on how the community responds. So, starting today through October 15, we’re challenging you to design a level around the theme of Halloween. That means you can make levels that are scary or revolve around costumes or whatever you associate with the holiday.
To enter your level, simply leave a comment on this page with your level name and level ID number. If there is a short story that goes with your level, feel free to write that up as well (but know that it won’t factor into your final score). Happy building!
