The capitalization did seem slightly uncharacteristic yeah... but it might be too obvious... perhaps that's a red-herring. Hmmmmmm

I may or may not have in my possession top secret knowledge on the whereabouts of a particular secretive disclosure of information hinted at by the world-renowned Horikawa Otane on the talkhaus.

I am perplexed.

...Also I realized a bit ago that I gave credit for a custom tileset I used in my MaGLX2 level, but I forgot to give credit for a custom NPC also in there. Whoops. >.<

It makes sense if you think about it.

...I still had to reread the guesses until I (maybe) figured it out.

"A PLUS"

I think someone said it already, but it's probably related to Super Meat Boy.

With all the hints here I'm going to guess that

Team Meat made a level


Not gonna bother trying to find out

what SMB video had the hidden backmasking message.

What happened is that Rena programmed talkhaus to construct a Luna-less level in SMBx based on when, where, and how often we post on it since the contest started, then it corrects for error at the end and the final form is a playably coherent -- if visually confusing -- platforming level.
