Chocolatey Shenanigans! - SMWC's Chocolate Level Contest

[kaijyuu]

Today's chocolate rating... Now with pictures!



I think that pretty much speaks for itself.

Almost right. Needs two more waffle cones in there trying not to be noticed.

I disagree Gaurocks, this is more appropriate:

For the record, this was the Death By Chocolate I was talking about :

mmmmm

Too...much...chocolate...

This brainfrosted me. So much looking forward to the next ones, hoping for no disappointments.

brownie with a layer pudding with a layer of heath (or other candy bar of your choice) crumbs with a layer of whipped creme followed by more brownies, pudding, whipped creme and topped with more candy bar crumbs.

Also some very light bits of alcohol.

Rum, or something else?

Rum's the only alcoholic thing I can drink >.<.

I'm not sure but it's such a light amount that I honestly had no clue any was in the recipe.

[metaking]

This is going to be renamed: Chocolate and ice cream recipies.... :D

[Kristian]

That thing serious looks delicious.

Also, the next few levels are AMAZING. I guess that's why they're the top three. >_>

[Fireyblaze]

You guys are right to question how things are going to be better than this one...

I played the first place level, and I think that you guys will be disappointed after this one. Not to spoil much, but it doesn't come close to this one on the chocolate scale. The graphics are nice though.

[Argumentable]

I can tell why this one didn't win, though it probably is best in the "wow" factor (I say this without having seen the other ones). There were a lot of frustrating parts, such as the black holes or that one pipe in the lava section that spews out lava that's impossible to dodge in most situations (I actually went into lunar magic and edited that area myself so I could see the rest of the hack) Other parts were fine, but I did manage to get myself stuck in a place or two.

But, for what it is, its pretty amazing

I think number 1 is number 1 because it all fits perfectly together. Personally I would have liked at least some Mario influences, but he just made it into a completely different game and you have to give that some honor. But I agree, no first place in my opinion.

The whole code part was about a secret forum at SMWC called the Valley Fortress. It's not secret anymore, and can be found in the normal forum list. If you check the url for it, you'll find the forum ID number.

tch, screw that noise man

[Crimson]

Was my copy glitched or something? Because whenever I tried the hardest difficulties I ended up warping to a boss right at the beginning.

The message you get when you beat the level tells you that the first lava pit warps you directly to the boss.

[Hitotsumami]

This level did not impress as much as the last level. The sprite switch was pretty cool and the graphics overall were nice, but it didn't have that same gameply value as the last one had. Can't wait to see what was second and first!

[raocow]

man, number two probably has one of the best smw bosses I have ever played

yes I say this after finishing yeah!!, and I briefly go into the 'why' in the video itself (tomorrow)

[kilon]

This level was almost just as impressive as Jimmy's level. Add that here you have a custom player and there you go. Only downside is that code, but I guess that was all part of the secret?

Also, this is the level I thought was submitted by Spade. I think you can see why.

Does it have 2 hammer puking plants instead of one now?

[S.N.N.]

For those who are wondering why Jimmy's level didn't win: there is such a thing as "too much" chocolate, you know. The ideal level would have been one that was of a decent length, and had EVERY aspect of the level shining - not just a few. This is why I, personally, feel that the first place entry is well deserved.

I'm still trying to figure out how some people think this is "rigged", though. It's bad enough we had to play through about 20 average/shitty levels. The last thing we'd want to do is waste our time rigging it. Plus, I've been hosting contests there since 2007 now, so if there was any rigging, it would have been caught eons ago.

Different opinions by different judges is why the 3rd place is higher than the 4th. Meh.

[raocow]

I big problem, I suppose, for the sake of this runthrough, is that jimmy's level is very FLASHY. It 'shows off' very well, while I think Noobish's level is more of a concentrated design effort, which can make for a better level, but doesn't show-off as good. Ditty with the remaining two ? (though I filmed numero dos, and I liked it a lot)

[Crimson]

Did second place have a second path? It was fairly boring on the one I played other than the two bosses.

(No, I can't wait until lunchtime tomorrow)

[Time Traveler]

Jimmy's level was way too huge and had some annoying design decisions. I don't know why everyone acts as if it was the greatest Mario hack ever made. This level looked better in my opinion.
