Well, crap. SPEECH!

Clearly, a game's overall design would be determined by how appealing and fun it is, while how appealing it is would be determined by how fun and overall well designed it is. Oh, and how fun a game is would be a function of its overall design and ability to appeal. I'd just cut the middle man and ma...

Let's face it, it's the Cat Planet cat planet cat planet cat planet cat planet of Super Mario World. At least it isn't yellow hurts.

Hooray! Everything is back to normal!

Or do Elec Man twice.

... Yes, I know most people consider doing that the "hard" way, but seriously, those platforms in Guts Man's stage can go to hell.

Argh raocow from two years ago! Moths are not butterflies and centipedes are not caterpillars!

Moths are stupid and butterflies are pretty; centipedes are eeeeeeeeee and caterpillars eat things like sandwiches, ice cream cones, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, pizzas, leaves, etc.

The Rockman X2 bosses (and probably the other games as well) had some pretty ridiculous boss names. ... "Duff McWhalen." Mega Man X5. No, I'm not going into that whole thing about how everyone has two names and someone wants them one way and someone else wants them another way, touching M...

I never knew you could get Kuwanger's heart container with the Ice Sled thing. That makes it, like, what, two places where it's useful to use that?

So, yeah, I basically told myself not to get involved with A2MT 'cause it really just went too fast to keep up with things. Anyhow, I see that someone went and green worded the dopefish which was rejected from ASMT, which is like I don't know cool, but I'm going to ask if you've tested that yet on t...

EDIT: What the hell is with the elephant? Also, what was the point of that elephant two episodes back. That was the most gfdsgfgsgdss thing ever. We shall found the Club of the Mysterious Elephant Group, dedicated to asking the one question, "What's up with that elephant?" I declare mysel...

...Play him off, keyboard cat!

... Ouch.

The Mechakoopa Replacement. No level actually used Mechakoopas, and they couldn't appear in the credits due to limitations. Regardless, I've been told they were inserted.

So, I cooked this up (raocow said this was the best place to post this,) and I am looking for fine tuning. If anyone has anything to add go ahead, so long as it's reasonable. I think Pumpkins count as Dummied Out as per TVTropes definition. No way I'm going to bother taking three seconds to find ou...

I was going to suggest that you run a competition where people design horrible SMW hacks and you play them and rate them and stuff, and be all sarcastic about the whole thing... Then I saw you just recently wrapped up the MATH thing so that whole thing is lost. Thanks a lot, you jerk. So, Tower of D...

Really, Mario's "job" is to just save the stupid Princess when Bowser kidnaps her, so if the Princess is not kidnapped, Mario's on a vacation by definition. So the solution is to kidnap the Princess, which is just as worn out. Alternatively, one could switch "Bowser" and "Pr...

He'll have to do it at x128 chipmunk speed. And three minutes in, he stumbles on pronouncing the name, "Smith" for a good six minutes.

Oh, hey, those 8000 things look and move kinda like- "Sweeney's Maze." ... Wow. I did not expect THAT game to get referenced, though in retrospect it was inevitable given the character faces. More reason to want Town/Caves/City/Dungeon of ZZT for the next random week, whenever that'll be. ...

That's exactly what Drawcia turned out to be, except the blood was paint that turned into eyeballs if memory serves me correctly.

E: And the eyeballs shot lasers.

Marx Soul? Nightmare? 02?

Sorry, I know it's a stupid game, but Drawcia gets my "Most Disturbing Kirby Boss" award.

I also find it possible that the brontosaurus made excellent pancakes. By this logic, though, shouldn't the point deductions be for the level being boring? By that logic, looks to me like that was exactly the case here. Oh, sure, the judges said it was too hard instead of explicitly stating it was ...

Things in contests like this should never, ever be judged down for difficulty, under any circumstance, unless it's a contest for designing levels for small children. Things should be judged down for being boring or glitchy or stuff like that, but none of this was anything more than just "hard&...

But, but, but... Coo is a feather duster! Why can't you just use him and broom instead?

Oh, that's why.

Summary: Essentially the same gimmick as S. S. Cotopaxi, good artists create great artists steal and all that. Build up a key that does the throw-block "evaporate" when the level timer hits a certain time, make it look like a pizza box. Key's at the start of the level, with some message bo...

Erm... Weren't we not supposed to link to the site that distributes the IPS for this? Or does it say something in the things there that I'm not bothering to babelfish?

ON topic though, I played the Kirby Game on the NES (was it the first Dreamland?), found it good, enough so to get me to play it through (I almost never do that with games), though in the end, it lacked something. For the sake of answering the question, the NES game was Kirby's Adventure, which is ...
