	JUDGING NOTES
==============================================================================================================
		- For contest and "scoring" purposes, all disqualified entrants from me count as an F for me,
		  regardless of how I actually feel about them.
		- Anything that's written in "Other Notes" are comments, quips, statements, or just me fooling
		  around and are not to be factored into my verdict for a given level.
		- Counterfeit's judging file has a better format than mine and I hate her and her guts for it.
		- If for some god forsaken reason the above person wants to go anonymous for this judging
		  again, Lightvayne, replace that person's above name with "Judge 2" and "her" with "their".
		- Why am I talking about that stuff here?
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Sockbat Replica - Fortress Castle
Commentary:	Right off the bat, you have miscolored stone blocks. The choice of palette overall is 
		inconsistent and questionable, to say the least.  The general FG/BG compliment a forboding
		setting and the lava, Podoboos, and Lil' Sparkies are rather fitting (being fire and all) but 
		everything else sticks out like a sore thumb, literally.  A palette for the Thwimps, rocky
		platforms, and spikes really would've helped them out.

		The level itself isn't rather fufilling.  The second Thwimp is bound to hit a player on their
		first run into the level; and there's nothing really in here to make the level all that
		interesting to play through, not to mention it just... ends.  There's no mixing anything up to
		make it feel fresh- just the usual motions and all that jazz.
Verdict:	Unfulfilling
Other Notes:	You could argue that the Sparkies are actually electricity, but they always struck me as fire
		more than anything else, but details, details...
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Hadron/zigil1 - Sky Adventure
Commentary:	This one's pretty well overall despite nagging issues holding it back.  There's a fair amount
		of stuff to check out in the level and it accomodoates to a number of playstyles to a good
		level.

		However, there is a major "shortcut" you failed to take into account, shortly after halfway
		through the first half, Mario can just jump over the top of the screen and casually make his
		way to the exit pipe (though he'll miss the checkpoint).  The next instance of this isn't as
		bad (since it's near the end of the level and actually looks like it was intentiona), though.
Verdict:	Enjoyable
Other Notes:	SUPER SUPER
		SUPER SUPER
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Purple Rex/Mario's Hat - Athletic Something
Commentary:	Pretty enjoyable, if I must say so myself.  I don't really see anything outright wrong in
		this, other than the odd use of the trees growing out of each other.  (You should know what I
		mean by that.)  Everything from beginning to end was just handled right.
Verdict:	Favorite
Other Notes:	My favorite part of the level is when Mario (unknowingly) eventually falls into the pit back
		to earth during his victory march.  Man, what an idiot.
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Gamma V - Bullet Bluffs
Commentary:	
Verdict:	Enjoyable
Other Notes:	
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Javier - Hills And slopes
Commentary:	Entrant has been since permabanned from SMWCentral for reasons unrelated to this contest, but
		this entry will be judged regardless.

		AxemJinx (Axem) has a term that refers to levels that consist of obstacles that require little
		to no difficulty dealing with called Jump Over Everything (or JOE for short), and this level
		fits that term for the most part.  While the terrain is somewhat varied (the slopes mostly),
		there is never any challenge thrown at the player.  Well, other than the gap on screens 0C-0F,
		but that's due to how high and easily unaligned the Parakoopas are that taking damage from
		(or falling into the pit) is almost a guarantee for blind players.  After that spot, the level
		goes back to being just as easy as everything before that point.

		Oh yeah, the level has a bad sprite memory header- the Banzai Bill causes Rexes to disappear.
Verdict:	Unfulfilling
Other Notes:	The official version that was judged was the updated "Chocolate Level Design Contest", which
		is really just the original version of your entry but with a brown palette, altered layout in
		one spot and the level as a whole is three screens longer. (Way to be misleading with your
		description.) Not that it really matters here, however.  The quality of both versions is
		overall low.
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	SilverSwallow - Road to Larry
Commentary:	This is a pretty neat take on Valley of Bowser 4's concept as far as fitting in the original
		SMW goes.  Nothing extraordinary or to write home about, but pretty competent regardless. Just
		about everything clicks together well.
Verdict:	Enjoyable
Other Notes:	
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	GlitchMr.
Commentary:	The Baltimore Ravens vs Denver Broncos 2012-13 Divisional Playoff Game was probably one of the
		most exciting (and "nerve-wrecking") games of football I've ever watched.  Despite me going
		for the Ravens this entire season, I Denver to take this and send the Ravens home.  They
		almost did, too, until Joe Flacco threw a deep ball to Jacoby Jones with less than 40 seconds
		left in the game to tie it.  How did the Baltimore Special Teams get burned twice by Tridon
		Holliday?  How did Rahim Moore let the game tying FG happen?  Corey Graham is the goddamn man
		with picking off Peyton twice, the second one helping lead Baltimore in making a 47 yard field
		goal to punch a ticket up to Foxborough (thanks to Justin Tucker, btw).

		Is my incoherent fanboy showing?

		Even though the Broncos were statistically the better team going into the game, Baltimore
		showed that they wanted to win that game more.

		Next season is going to be a rough ride, though.
Verdict:	Peyton Manning is a great quarterback, but he downgrades badly during the playoffs.
Other Notes:	RG3 actually went to the High School in the area I live in.
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	luigiman09 - Random Double Path
Commentary:	I'll come out and say this right now.  This has to be one of the ugliest palettes I've ever
		seen in a Vanilla contest entry.  Nothing about it looks neither pleasant nor pleasing to the
		eye and it looks like you just randomly threw together in a matter of seconds.

		As for the level, it's not good at all.  The left door leads to an auto-scroll (which feels
		arbitrary) sublevel where the strategy is basically Jump Over Everything (also known as JOE
		Syndrome).  The only real trouble comes from a Amazing Flying Hammer Bro (AFHB) you have to
		jump on, but since the level is located on a submap, this is made annoying than it should be
		(Note: The frequency of their hammers is faster if the "parent" level, in this case 1C, is on
		a submap.)  The right door leads to another annoyingly low AFHB and a pointless, fruitless,
		and meaningless Star Run over a Muncher Pit that can be barrelled through easily.

		Both sublevels lead to a small room with a Flower and a checkpoint, not like either is needed
		(knock on wood) that takes you to another room that has the grass actually have dirt
		textures. After a pointless P-Switch grab to get past to walls, you'll have to deal with
		Lakitu- but the large abundance of slopes makes his Spinies non-threatening in the slightest,
		and the excess Koopas can make getting rid of Lakitu himself an easy task, nullifying any
		challenge the rest of this level could throw at you.  The following room contains even more
		non-threatening enemies, another remarkably easy cape (there's one RIGHT BEFORE the pipe),
		a boatload of coins, and the Goal Sphere.

		The level as a whole just feels very uninspired, thrown together, and ugly to look at.  A
		waste of time, you could say.  The initial FG position for level 1C is too low, by the way.
Verdict:	Not For Me
Other Notes:	
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	sokobansolver
Commentary:	Nice concept, but it would've helped out wonders where I was supposed to go.  I felt like I
		was just endlessly wondering around and just stumbled upon the goal through sheer dumb luck.
		Even puzzle/labyrinth-type levels should at least try to help out the player on what to do,
		where to go, and all that jazz.  This... doesn't really do that.  You're just thrown into the
		level and are expected to figure everything out on your own- even if what you're doing is
		correct.  That especially goes for entering one room in a certain spot and are required to go
		to the "real" entrance of the room just to reset the layers so you can continue on your way.
		There is a secret exit, but it's just not worth the trouble here.
Verdict:	Not For Me
Other Notes:	
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Ladida/"Bonni"/Ladidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadidadildodidadidadidadida/SuperSmashCombat
Commentary:	If I were to describe this level in two words, it would be "Unncessarily Stupid".  Right out
		of the gate, you put the player in immediate danger of taking damage which is practically a
		guaranteed hit if you're Big Mario.  There's two instances of "Instant Difficulty, just add
		Generator" arbitrarily placed in the level, the trek over/under the three Volcano Lotuses with
		a Chuck at the end is 1-2 too many when there's no variation whatsoever in the run. (Holding 
		out on telling the player that the "correct" path requires something from a "wrong" path
		doesn't help matters either.).  Every single Yoshi Coin save for the last one (obvious reasons)
		feels like a pointless waste of time especially when most of them put Mario at a risk that
		often isn't worth it.

		Oh, and there's also some forced P-Switch waiting out even in this case it's only a couple of
		seconds long.

		Jimmy52905 sux btw

		The power-up and checkpoint distribution is also stingy.  The first (and by all intents and
		purposed "should" be the "only" one in the level is on screen 0A, but you'll be backtracking a
		small bit anyway so it's really in the realm of 0F-10.  The second one is in a spot so
		counter-productive, why even bother to get the thing?  The checkpoint in the level was a
		suprise to me, since I intially thought that there wasn't even one to begin with!  It requires
		the Springboard in the first "half" of the level and use it.  Oh, don't forget that there's a
		ceiling of spikes above the door that LEADS to the checkpoint (they're hidden from view thanks
		to the camera) and the room is just stupid anyway- it's protected by two Volcano Lotuses and a
		Cheep-Cheep generator.  The checkpoint is roughly placed 1/2-3/5 into the level, but the post-
		checkpoint section of the level runs by so fast that it feels shorter in comparison. Did I
		mention that there's another instance of Big Mario Discrimination (otherwise known as BMD)

		Aesthetically, the palette choice looks pretty great and the underwater theme fits better than
		expected.  However, none of that can save the level from what it is.
Verdict:	Not For Me
Other Notes:	That's an interesting intro screen.
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	KY2010 - The Terrible Whiteness Of A Sadistic Castle
Commentary:	"It's somewhat fairly hard and I tried to aim it being an original SMW level as much as
		possible."

		I'd say that you only succeded at that as far as aesthetics and the first room go, arguably
		the second room as well.  The level starts to look bleak in the second room (the layer 2 one)
		because you're suddenly expected to rush in various instances since "safe zones" are hardly
		marked for the player.  "Safe Zones" you get no breathing room whatsoever and often you're
		strange bedfollows with a "persisitent" enemy, whether it be Dry Bones, Bony Beetle, or some
		Grinders.  Because "Sure, why not?"
		
		"Sure, why not?" best describes this level, because everything beyond the checkpoint just
		feels like they was arbitrailly added in.  The ice path is just dumb with its low-ish ceilings
		percision jumps (with single tile platforms over grape kool-aid/lava) and some Parakoopas
		you'll encounter mid-jump because "Sure, why not?".  The Magikoopa path just comes off to me
		as a less offensive version of last year's VLDC entry "Kaleidoscope Castle" (minus that
		level's poor contrast)- in which both levels overwhelmed the player with constant danger all
		around them but this one also throws in an auto-scroll so you're forced to go at the pace the
		author wants you to go at WHILE dealing with all of that overwhelming nonsense.

		"Sure, why not?"

		There's also a key in the level, but who in their right mind would want to go for that with
		everything else the level throws at you? Maybe Incognito/GN, but he was a masochist in a past
		life >_>.  It is far, far more troubling than it's worth.
Verdict:	Not for Me

Entrant:	notgoodwithusernames - Concussion Mountain
Commentary:	You seem to have a knack for constantly trying to kill Mario whenever possible (read: all the
		time).  Pent up rage?  Prefer to have Luigi as the star character?  Are you a sadist?

		Kidding aside, this was a neat level with how the obstacles were distributed.  It certainly
		looks more intimidating than it actually is (referencing my above statement), which isn't a
		bad thing.  Proper inclines, proper length, (almost) proper visual appeal, proper nouns.  I
		have complaints about some of the palettes, but they're mostly trivial. (Palette 9, namely.)
Verdict:	Favorites
Other Notes:	Glitched Graphics Thwomps!
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	AirMario - Entry
Commentary:	Outside of the terrible palette used for the FG and BG, this level is a display of how
		influential SMWHacks 101 style of aesthetic design is for all of the wrong reasons.  The
		terrain looks abstract for the sake of it, which in turn is just distracting as hell.  The
		afformentioned palette looked like it was thrown together with no regard of actually making it
		look good at all and was just better off not touched at all.

		As far as how the level itself plays out, it's mediocre at best.  It's another JOE syndrome
		level despite the narrow corridors owing itself to how random the enemies feel placed int the
		level.  Not much else can be said about this entry, though I do expect AxemJinx (Axem) to
		tell us about his walk to the store this morning.

Entrant:	Aquamentus - Lava Mansion
Commentary:	While this level certainly looks like an SMW-based firey ghost house, a lot of it just feels
		like a pointless waste of time.  It utilizes fake doors until you realize that the solution is
		always the hardest/most annoying task to endure.  Using the P-Switch/Springboard to make it to
		the checkpoint is just a dumb timing game (especially if you don't plan on taking any damage)
		with a little bit of luck thrown in to really drain out the P-Switch's timer.  The P-Switch
		shenanigans continue into the second half with some close calls with taking an incinerating
		bath.  Why?  Because the Boo Streams (or "Lasers" if you will) just like to oh so get in the
		way of progress.

		The checkpoint is also moreso for the secret exit, which hilariously enough is just the
		regular exit with some extra spice added towards the end (this is one of those levels that
		basically have you play it twice for both exits).  It's as if you wanted the level to be a red
		one, so you just slapped something together at the end and called it a day.

		The level as a whole isn't outright BAD, but it is seriously feels like it could be much more
		than it is currently.
Verdict:	Unfulfillingly Ambivalent
Other Notes:	Bowser's flying around a magic floating sign.  I think he got bonked on the head a little too
		much.
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	ShadowPhoenix - Choco(late) Mountains
Commentary:	A pretty simple but effective- yet somehow lacking- level that also has a nice aesthetic
		appeal to go along with it. It can work very well as an early-ish game level, but that's not a
		bad thing.  My issue comes from how abundant the "jump over this guy" setups are and the lack
		of height that should really get the level even more engaging instead of the typical "JOE"
		aura that makes itself present.  It picks up late into the level, but by then, it's too late.

		Much like the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII, for a little (American) Football "humor".

		The time limit is also a little too short.  Someone that's akin to explore the level, and
		there is a little bit to check out, may notice the sub-100 seconds timer play during a blind
		run.  The first Yoshi Coin is placed in a non-intuitive spot that is not marked at all, to
		boot.
Verdict:	Ambivalent
Other Notes:	Colin Kaepernick is a pretty damn good quarterback, though.
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Yan - A Haunted House
Commentary:	There's a lot of arbitraty and nothing in this one, however much sense that makes.  This level
		is marjorly straightfoward item fetching to use here or there.  There is some decent
		platforming on the road to the Shell you need to continue, but once you obtain that, the rest
		of the level ends up being runs through largly empty areas to do this or that.  Boring and
		suspectable level padding, basically.  One notably offending case is a small room where you
		need to find a block that contains a P-Switch, but it's not marked.  This is pointless because
		(1) the block you're looking for is the very platform the Koopa is standing on, and (2) using
		a Cape that the same room provides you is must more efficient than the recommendation of the
		Koopa.

		Instincts told me that there had to be mroe to this level than I saw already, so I looked
		through this level in Lunar Magic and discovered that there is actually a secret exit
		inside- a poorly marked one in every sense of the word, too.

		The secret exit room is an almost standard autoscroll level ("almost" because it uses the
		Butter Bridge scroll) with some Boos and a couple of Chucks sprinkled and an Instant Difficulty
		Eerie Generator thrown in for flavor.  This part of the entire level is OK at best since, like
		I said, the Eerie Generator does most of the work for this part of the level.  Though a lot of
		the time you'll be doing, well, nothing.

		Style can only take you so far.  Prioritize quality levels over a pretty picture.
Verdict:	Unfulfilling
Other Notes:	
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Doopy Buckride/DerpyBackslide - VLDC Entry
Commentary:	Types of submissions that are recurring in every major official sitewide event (collabs,
		contests, C3, etc.) are ones that try to include as many level themes into them as possible
		with no regard to flow or cohesiveness.  This entry is no different from those.  In addition
		to that nonsense, this level contains a fair amount of bad decisions and disproportionate
		rewards- starting with the grassland's multi-coin block, Yoshi Coin, and blind dropoff (near
		the end); the cavern's narrow corridors and another blind dropoff (again near the end), the
		Ghost House being a glorified luck-based door maze and the surprise attack from a Fishin' Boo
		in the castle segment.

		For those that didn't play this, trust me, there is a lot more to this level than I'm bringing
		up. There are also "lenghty" (as in at least eight screens long) night sky and underwater
		segments.

		The entire thing just feels very uninspired and serves to be one of "those levels" that I
		mentioned at the beginning of this writeup.  A waste of time, basically.  Definitely nowhere
		near the worst contest levels I've played, but once is definitely enough here.

Verdict:	Not For Me

Entrant:	THY/twoheadedyoshi - muSTARd Nightfall
Commentary:	Amazing visual appeal- everything clicks together extremely well.  On the level front, it's

Entrant:	MarioFan22 - Cave Escape 2
Commentary:	Getting this one out the way, you basically have the player go through the entire level twice
		to obtain both exits.  Imagine having to take a test again even though you got a passing grade
		for it the first time around- that's basically how that is here.  Nonetheless, this level does
		play like a cavern in the sense of how everything's laid out, but it doesn't feel obtrusive or
		claustrophic for the most part (that's a good thing).  There is a nice use of variety of
		obstacles and other than a Bullet Bill(x2) encounter near the start of the second section, it
		remains to be a respectable threat to the player and feels in-place with the level.

		The bonus rooms feel a tiny bit disportionate, however.  The first one is a little tricky to
		get the P-Switch needed for it and the reward are just a few handfuls of coins, while the
		other fares out better with it's timed platforming for an extra life.

Other Notes:	Mario really needs to watch where he's walking.

Entrant:	yogui - A Simple Level
Commentary:	For such a simple level, there are quite a number of multiple ways to tackle this.
		Regardless, all of the paths feel the same when you come up to them again.  Water portions are
		partially narrow with a couple of Cheep-Cheeps and a Clappin' Chucks, and dry areas are more
		open and consist of setups that are easily trivialized.  Like I said, these sections are
		reused throughout the entire stage with little variation in how they're utilized.

Commentary:	This one really could do a lot more with the "gimmick" of rising/falling water.  There is some

		throughout- never really getting more or less difficult.

==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Hawthorne
Commentary:	The FG/BG palette is pretty nice and there is a nice variety of of enemies along with the
		platforming in the level, but that just about ends everything positive I have to say about
		this one.  This level is a waste- the entire thing is comprised of jumping over grounded
		enemies and jumping on falling platforms ad nausem.  This leaves a respectable amount of
		potential to make this a true standout entry, but all of it is squandered.  There are
		approximately three platforms where you'll need to stand on them for a slight moment longer
		before continuing onwards, and two of them are shortly after the checkpoint.

		To wrap this up, the powerup distribution is a lopsided one, while one is essentially at the
		beginning of the level, the second one is right after the platforming secquence after the
		checkpoint- but at which point, the level is about 75% over anyway.

Entrant:	Dark Mario Bros - Chocovanilla?
Commentary:	I don't even know where to start with this.

		In a word, it's terrible, just terrible.  When not having to deal with the not-so-subtle
		remaints of Yoshi's Island 1, Oiram has to endure largely ground (harmless) enemies that can
		be jumped over with no effort, enemies that attack way too soon (Super Koopas), stupid setups
		that involve a trio of Pitchin' Chucks lined up in a way that practically guarantees taking
		damage, and a lose-lose scenario involving a pipe cannon. (Hold B and land in front of a Chuck
		vs not holding B and landing in front of a Parakoopa/Piranha Plant.)  Additionally, there are
		four painstakingly easy extra lives to obtain, leaving me to question how hard did you
		consider to implement them into the level.  Furthermore, there is another instance of "react
		on entrance immediately or get hurt (midway entrance) and "Instant Difficulty: Just add
		Generator" (also at midway entrance), neither of these help at all with redeeming the level.

		The visuals are OK, but nothing I would call great.

Entrant:	Mr.Blue Yoshi - Boo's Forest
Commentary:	I question the requirements for promotion in Big Boo's army if strongest troops aren't even
		close to posing a formidable threat.  This level is almost a literal case of Jump Over
		Everything, with the exceptions coming from a couple of Grinders (where you run under them
		instead) and Boo Rings (which mostly consist of pointless waiting around doing nothing). Big
		Boo also hilariously failed to spawn for me the first time around- forcing me to suicide.

		The aesthetics of the level are standard SMW fare- nothing terrible, but nothing to talk about
		either.  I'm just padding this writeup out.

Entrant:	ShadowFire - Forest Stroll
Commentary:	This is a little stroll through a forest level.  It's rather fitting for an early game setting
		with the way everything is setup and whatnot.  The aesthetics look appealing and contain some
		extra variation while not going into the territory of being abstract or distracting, which is
		a nice plus if I must say so myself.

		Then the level just ends.

		Seriously, this level is short.  It feels like you only played half of your hand during a
		round of Poker and just folded before you truly got anywhere.  While a longer level isn't
		necessarily better and I think you chose to take a safer route this time around compared to
		your entry last year, but this one feels lacking of meat.

Entrant:	Dakress - Grand Galleon
Commentary:	Overall, it feels like I'm doing nothing throughout the level.  There is a boatload of open
		area from start to finish that has nothing all that engaging to deal with.  There is so much
		open space and so little of that area is covered by enemies that it really feels like the
		terrain was built first and the enemies were added later.  The first half of the stage handles
		this better, but it's offset by the very, very slow pacing of it.

		The transitions into each section is done very well, something that you normally don't see in
		levels or hacks all that often.  The settings of each of the areas are done very nice to help
		it out, too.  However, style can only get you so far.

Commentary:	Sequel Levels, huh?

		The vertical portion of the level feels off.  It feels complete, yet incomplete at the same

		I'd say is alright.  It feels slightly emptish until after the checkpoint, where it takes off.
		Boos until then don't pose a threat and there is a repetitive feeling to the obstacles.  There
		are some Boo Blocks namely in the level, but they come off as a one-shot obstacle that
		could've really been used for different setups in conjunction with the other hazards featured.

Entrant:	Marioyoshishade - Blazing Desert
Commentary:	When I saw the title and intro screen and the palette you used in it, I was hoping that this
		would be a red herring in the sense that the level at hand wouldn't look that bad.

		I was wrong.

		The palette choice you made for the FG is poor because of the lack of any proper shading,
		which makes everything look uglier than it should be.  The base palette is practically a
		gradient, after all.  Regarding the level itself, it's nothing interesting at all.  The
		terrain just feels very plain and thrown together while the enemy placements come off as if
		they were just thrown on top of it.  While virtually none of the hazards of the level ever
		truly are an actual hazard, everything can be especially trivialized by sticking to the top

Entrant:	Everest700 - Land of Mystery
Commentary:	The setting you have here is great-looking but not what I would say was used to its utmost
		potential.  The color choice you chose to give off a dusky mountainside, but it only applied
		to the FG (sans blocks and pipes) and the BG.  The sprites really could've helped out the
		setting as well.  The level plays like you have a working foundation, but doesn't feel like it
		was fleshed out well.  You have all of the standard forest spriteset enemies there and they
		essentially fit, but that's it.  In a way, you could say it just ends before it begins.

		The Diggin' Chuck cavern goes on about two times longer than it should since it's 1.5 screens
		of doing the exact same slow thing (spin jumping on a rock in a narrow corridor).  Quite
		frankly, I just wanted to tank the hit on the muncher patch and gun for the other side. (This
		is possible, by the way.)  All of this is just for a Flower and a 1up- which is silly since
		this level also contains a 3up Moon that is far easier to get and it right near another
		point of interest.

		The Yoshi cavern section is a tedious exercise in frustration.  Having to go at a slow pace in
		the sublevel to collect edible items with virtually no room for error isn't exactly my idea of
		"fun"- and it certainly doesn't help that even getting the Yoshi Wings to get out of the area
		is very easy to screw up- what with everything you need to do.

		I honestly have a difficult time deciding if this should be Unfufilling (wasted potential) and
		Ambivalent (what's there works at the bare minimum), so...

Entrant:	Carld923 - Forest, Cave 'n Mole
Commentary:	For contest entries that have palettes that set the level in a different area or time of day
		entirely (ie: underwater, at night, in a dark cavern, erc.), it's common to see people not
		give Mario the same treatment.  So kudos for not being one of those entrants.  The setting,
		while standard fare, is still pretty nice overall mostly due to the palette choice you made.
		
		The level itself provides a nice variety of challenges every step of the way, which is good to
		have when done properly and it helps maintain the pacing of the entire run.  There is a hiccup
		at the start of the cave portion (react immediately or eat pigskin) and the Turn Block
		junction shortly after the checkpoint (Mario can easily hit the underside of the route he
		didn't take and get the prize easily), but that's about it.
Verdict:	Enjoyable

Entrant:	HyperMario - Frozen Wonderland
Commentary:	Length wise and stand alone, this level seems more fitting to have multiple checkpoints which
		would make each section of it feel "complete"  Having the checkpoint at the end of the first
		section just feels lopsided.  Similarly, the entire third section could've been absent from it
		since it feels the most "out of place" of them all and as if you were just draging it out.

		The overall level is alright.  It fits well in an early-midgame type setting in challenge
		while reamining interesting to play and the palette choice is pretty neat.  The semi-cramped
		nature of some sections of the cave area and the repetitiveness of the last area (glorified
		Koopa hopping in a way)
Verdict:	Ambivalent

Entrant:	Archie - Rocky Land
Commentary:	This is an interesting level- it in general works out rather well from start to finish.

		However, I don't like how the level feels to just pad itself out in the later portion of it.
		It presumably continues on inside the mountain itself but plays nothing like anything that
		lead before it.  To boot, it feels like all of that stuff would be better off expanded upon in
		its own level.  The "play most of the level twice" factor doesn't help matters either- in
		fact, I was surprised to see that the door at the end of the shifting mushrooms room (sublevel
		FB) lead on to the rest of the level and just wasn't a reset door that I assumed.

		That's not to say that I have some issues with the outside sections either.  The falling
		rocks (or at least the first one) in sublevel FC don't exactly allow for a "proper" reaction
		time when they spawned.  The second one is only slightly better in this regard despite a more
		cramped setup.  The P-Switch and its at the end of that section is akin to a circle, as well.
		There's also the matter of the Splittin' Chuck near the start (one of the Chucks jump into the
		pit and I feel that a Jumpin' Chuck would've been a more beneficial choice.

		Regardless of my above complaints, this is an overall adequetly designed level.

Entrant:	1UPdudes - Dino River
Commentary:	AxemJinx (Axem) has a term that refers to levels that consist of obstacles that require little
		to no difficulty dealing with called Jump Over Everything (or JOE for short), and this level
		fits that term for the most part.  While the terrain is somewhat varied (the slopes mostly),
		there is never any challenge thrown at the player.

		That sounds familiar.

		The quote above that I made on Javier's entry can very easily fit here.  The mellowed palette
		you used for the FG/BG and it's not often you see Yoshi in contest entries, but none of that
		can save this level from being a mediocre jump on/over everything excursion.  Hell, even Yoshi
		is treated like a disposable object here (only being needed for a Yoshi Coin at the end).

Entrant:	ferrety111 - Fine Line-Guide Ride
Commentary:	Pretty solid, I'd say.  A nice level concept (or "gimmick") that keeps its head on all the way

		to show that you don't need a gimmick or to take risks to make a competent level.
Verdict:	Enjoyable

==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Guinimo - The Distant Island
Commentary:	This one looks like it tries to do something new with Yoshi's Island 1/2, but ultimately falls
		flat on its face at the starting line.  Ignoring the obvious vibes of those two levels, the
		level itself is largely flat terrain with grounded enemies that rarely- if ever- pose any real
		threat to the player.  They're just literally going through the motions ad nauseum with
		nothing around to break it up at all.  To be frank, a waste of time.

Entrant:	Ripperon-X - Weaklevel/Entry
Commentary:	Weak level indeed- this feels remarkably phoned in.  Everything from the terrain, to the

		into it.  There's not much I can really say about it.  It's one of those levels you have to
		see in action for yourself.
Verdict:	Unfufilling.
Other Notes:	
==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	Kenny - Sunrise Mountain
Commentary:	"Claustrophobic" is what best describes some of this, though there are other glaring issues
		infesting this level.  At both the start and midway entance you ambush the player with having
		them have to react very quickly (as opposed to a few seconds of breathing room) or they'll
		take damage.  Requring the player to be forced to wait/lead out enemies in very tight
		corridors then proceed onwards- capping it off with another tight squeeze and low ceiling/
		platform jumps that's sure to do Mario in at least a couple of times.  One notably
		horrendous offense is near the level that is one of the most blatant examples of Big Mario
		Discrimination I have ever seen and makes me think that this level was designed and tested
		with Small Mario in mind only.

		Blindish drops are also present (screens 03 and 10)- with it often being too late for Mario to
		actually adapt to what he needs to get by here.  The setup at the end with the AFHB and
		Volcano Lotus is just a dumb game of waiting for everything to line up properly since the
		time frame window for it is very small without getting hit.

		The power-up distribution is also odd.  The first one is slightly out of place (to the left
		of the entrance "guarded" by a Monty Mole that jumps into the hole.  The next one is just a
		waste of time trying to obtain since you're more than likely to get damaged while trying to
		work for it- prompting the player to just forgo the damn thing.  The third one is an
		invisible Mushroom that is slightly out of place and has no indication of where it would be,
		and the remaining two (one in the cavern area) are mostly fine.

Entrant:	Underway - A Thousand Burning Skulls/Fierce Fire Flow
Commentary:	The atmosphere looks very pleasing and non-obstructive, not that I expected different from you
		anyway.  The palette helps give off the firey tone of the level without being too harsh, a
		complaint that was made about last year's Apocalyptic Ruins.  From the core gameplay front, it
		plays very well from start to finish- well, except for two major issues that really should've
		been tested better.

		The reset door that's supposed to be used in the event the P-Switch segment goes wrong not only
		sends Mario to the goal room, but it also kills him.  Additonally, the P-Ballon part- while it
		is optional instead of continuing to use the raft up to that point- requires perfect timing to
		collect it and to utilize every second of it it to the very end.  This essentially means that
		the player will need to have advanced knowledge of the level, something that should not be
		expected of them from a blind run.

		Nonetheless, it's an excellent level, but stupid mistakes hold it back.

Commentary:	This one is contains some inconsistency.  You have dark platforms that aren't safe to walk on,

		platforms behind them that are safe to stand on. You have trees blocking the view but have
		platforms behind them that AREN'T safe to stand on and you'll just fall through.  Mind you,
		this is all the first part of three.

		Surprisingly, the remainder of the level feels better on this, but the gameplay itself feels
		unrefined and more like you prioritized style over substance.  The "spooky" section of this
		level just amounts to five Boos and a slightly darker color palette before going back to the
		setting of the first section.

		The bonus music also doesn't fit the setting of the level at all.
Verdict:	DISQUALIFIED - Violation of Rule 5.b
		(5b. You may ONLY use foreground graphics for foregrounds, background graphics for

Commentary:	...The FG/BG palette is absolutely hideous- hideous to the point that I think that it was
		intentional.  Making a greyscale is perhaps the easiest thing one can do in the palette
		editor and most of the enemies here have a properly greyscaled palette.  Beyond that, the
		level has a few mediocre at best rooms that suffer from being underdeveloped (the first, the 
		Piranha Plant, Magikoopa, and Block Snake rooms).  The first is just basic stuff, the Thwomp
		and Autoscroll suffer mostly from being slow claustrophic endeavors.  The Piranha Plant just
		uses two variants of "one" sprite and is slightly less claustrobic (thoug there is an instance
		of Big Mario Discrimination).  The Magikoopa room is designed to give Mario the huge advantage
		(come on, at least use Turn Blocks), and the Block Snake room can be blown through with more
		than plenty of time to spare, but you're still forced to wait for the snake to catch up to
		so he can continue onwards.

Entrant:	Lemonade - Molten Magma Meadow
Commentary:	It's obvious that you spent a lot of time and effort on the atmosphere of the level to make it
		look as stellar as it does, but on the level aspect though it feels fitting for early game,
		it's somewhat lacking.  You're basically just going through the motions for the most part and
		being able to mindlessly jump over the obstacles presented.  Hell, even some of the Sumo Bros
		can be passed before they can attack.  (I like how you made their lightning/fire cause an
		eruption in the lava.)

		It starts to pick up a little after the checkpoint, but by then I feel it's too late.  The
		jumping sequences inside the cave was something I thought was interesting, though I suppose
		I'm just a fan of those when the timing isn't so damn strict.  The small platforming sequence
		before the cave, while basic, still holds up enough on its own.

		Overall, there's a working foundation, I feel it just needs to be expanded upon, is all.

Entrant:	FPzero & Teyla/FirePhoenix & Tyty - Simmering Stalagmites

		some that are just lying around, inside some blocks along the way, or a double-up station at
		the checkpoint entry, this level is not in short supply for assistance.  Regardless, this
		level remains to be very good.  It provides a nice challenge in a more cavernous setting
		without being (too) intrusive with the more narrow portions of it.  The setting's great and
		helps the level stand out even more without coming anywhere near being distracting at all.

Commentary:	Despite maintaining the same setting in both sections, this level feels like two completely

		Bills, and Ninjis- while the second is an auto-scroll (read: much slower paced) on the
		uncommonly used orange platform featuing Ninjis and Fuzzies.  While both portions individually
		are quite enjoyable, combined it creates an odd dissonance that just feels like the two halves
		should be expanded upon as their own full individual levels.

		Despite the negative tone of this writeup, this level is very good.

		it to exist other that this was rushed.  That's not to say the rest of the level fares out
		better (it does, but not by all that much).  The level has a working foundation, but it never
		expands upon it beyond the potential of having to use a Whistlin' Chuck to summon Super

Entrant:	FrankyC253 - Small Vanilla Castle
Commentary:	This level has an odd relation with wiggle room.  It looks spacious enough, but at the same

==============================================================================================================
Entrant:	K1ngHacks - Deep Dark Cave
Commentary:	The level comes off as if you did the terrain and added the sprites on top of it as a means of
		populating it.  I'd say the only real natural threats to come from the enemies in this level
		are a Green Parakoopa (since he has height advantage), one Swooper, and a couple of footballs.
		There's also a Swooper that ambushes the player mid-jump and has the extra advantage of being
		obscured by the status bar.

		You have a midway entrance set up, but there's no midpoint to be found in this level.  If the
		player re-enters the level with a cape, they can fly up over the large wall at the end of the
		first section and fall through the dirt into the pit below.  There's additionally a "beta
		element" you failed to remove in sublevel 106 that provides the standard cutoff since there
		was a slope tile beyond the standard level of play that causes said cutoff.

		Furthermore, it's also possible for small Mario to get stuck in that tiny space where the
		springboard was, forcing him to wait out the timer.  Granted, that would be a case of player
		stupidity, but stuff like that should be compensated for regardless.

		You also force the player to wait out the P-Switch for no reason at all.

Entrant:	Mariocool1999 - Reznor's Fields and Fortress

		is remarkably sparse, provinding very little challenge- or anything interesting for that
		matter- for the player.  The castle is littered with tclaustrophobic jumps and a sudden spike
		in difficulty for the wrong reasons.  There's also a stupid Yoshi coin to get shortly after
		the checkpoint that is much more annoying to collect compared to the other four in the stage
		(spin jumping on a Grinder that follows an uneven path over lava with a low ceiling), which

Entrant:	Findoku29 - Jumping and Stuff
Commentary:	When I saw the level name for this entry, I was expecting this to be one of those "JOE"-styled
		levels that leave much to be desired.  What I ended up getting was a level lopsided with its
		difficulty while also being annoying, repetitive, and luck based with what you're tasked to
		do.  Bullet Jumping isn't really a difficult thing to do, but having to do it while being
		harassed by a Super Koopa generator just makes a simple task annoying due to the random
		nature of how the buggers will spawn.

		After the checkpoint, the level ironically becomes EASIER to do since the Bullet Jumping and
		Super Koopas are mostly gone.  Having to hop on an Amazing Flyin' Hammer Bro also when the
		level is located on a submap (making them throw hammers faster) WHILE dealing with the Super
		Koopa generator returning is an exercise in annoyance.

Entrant:	Daizo Dee Von/DiddyKaizo100- Platform Pothole
Commentary:	This is a slow, cramped level that uses obstacles that are both pointless (some Chucks careen
		right into the lava) and obstructive for the wrong reasons (all the other Chucks).  You have
		the hint at the start that is very vague at what you exactly mean, then you have them break
		their necks trying to keep a shell alive while in a very narrow corridor with aggressive
		enemies... all for a damn 1up.

		However, the level isn't that offensive.  When it's not trying to make you have claustrophobia,
		you're given decent amounts of time to react according to everything else at you and the enemy
		placement in line with the terrain is respectable.
Verdict:	DISQUALIFIED - Uses and encourages an "obscure" (using that word lightly here) manuever in
		order to obtain the secret exit.  While blocking the door with a Yoshi Coin (and requiring the
		player to get all five) is a creative way of making a secret exit, it does not fit the rules
		this contest imposes.  Using the Ex-Animation of the door would've been a better option here.

Entrant:	neosaver - Volcano Valley 
Commentary:	This one's interesting.  There is a working foundation with the level in what you're tasked to
		do when you start off, but at the same time, the level remains empty in a number of places,
		giving off the impression that the obstacles are largely isolated from one another instead of
		a more consistent stream.  The Chuck formations were mostly good, especially the one with the
		P-Switch.  The other main problem I have with this level is how you basically need to play
		almost the entire thing twice to obtain both exits- a major inconvenience and feels like the

		very end.  Every aspect of the (core) level is underdeveloped, and it mostly shows with how
		the enemies seem to serve no purpose but to populate the level and make it seem more active
		than it really is.  Yes, the level breaks off into four other sections, but multiple routes

Entrant:	Masterlink & MaxodeX - Super Amazing Castle w/ Nets
Commentary:	It's not common to see contest entries that change the entrie palette setting to something
		else entirely and give Mario the same treatment, so to see that Mario himself wasn't neglected
		is a plus in my book.

		However, the level is hampered with a couple of dumb mistakes.  For starters, you have the
		player have to put more work than necessary to get the FIRST power-up in the level.  I was
		tempted to just forgo the damn thing and hope that the rest of the power-ups wouldn't be so
		annoying to get.  Thankfully they weren't, whic begs me to ask "Why even do that in the first
		place?"  The springboard hopping is annoying mostly due to the narrowish ceilings you have to
		put up with along with the the distance you have to clear from what is basically a complete
		stop.

		The 3up Moon is easier to get than either of the above issues I brought up, for comparison.

		The vertical section is filled with, by all intents and purposes, areas where you're basically
		doing nothing- what with the lack of any actual dangers to put up with- or anything at all.  A
		lot of downtime, you could say.  The lack of compensating for the camera scroll for the power
		up on screen 07 (It's basically blind where you have to land on your first encounter.) doesn't
		help out at the start, either.

		Not bad, but could be a lot better.

Commentary:	A waste of time, not to mention extremely lazy.  You have the player go through the same room
		not once, but FOUR times (each with different sprites), but the level doesn't make any notable
		changes other than that.  Hell, for the most part, the level plays the same regardless of the
		different sprites.  There's also some remarkably corrupted graphics in the level as well as
		some blatantly obvious cutoff that makes me question what the heck you were even doing messing
		with the BG if you thought that was a good idea.  Oh yeah, the lava surface in the final room
		show glitched graphics.

		The rooms themselves?  Uninspired.  The way they're set up allows for Mario to easily stick
		above most of the danger as if there was not danger at all, there's inconsistent priority with
		the layer 3 tide, and since the level is copy/pasted into four strongly suggests the sprites
		were just thrown just to populate it.

Commentary:	You sure do like Eeries.

		Perhaps a little too much, considering the frquency you use the wave motion ones.

		This was a pretty nice run.  It combines Torpedo Teds with ghostly enemies,
		namely Eeries, to a pretty nice effect without being (too) bothersome.  The issue I see here
		is the above mentioned Eeries, in which their population shoots up while the layout of the dry
		portions remain the same (read: straightish corridors).  It comes off like you played your
		hand in a game of poker enough to do well, but a little extra strategy could've helped you go
		even further.
Verdict:	Not For Me for using a Big Boo Boss at the end.  Have some goddamn consideration for the
		judges next time.  Punk.
Other Notes:	My verdict is actually Enjoyable.

Entrant:	X-cniS - goat world snes
Commentary:	Loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but circumstances
		occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great. To take a trivial example, which of
		us ever laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who  find
		fault chooses to enjoy a pleasure one avoids a pain produces no blinded by desire, that they
		cannot foresee blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which
		is the same as saying through shrinking from toil.

		Get any of that?  Pretty incoherent, right?  The above paragraph can also apply here in which
		there was nothing for for the level; as if you just plastered something together and called it
		a day.	Nothing is consistent with anything (other than being inconsistent); nor does it ever
		come anywhere close to it.
Verdict:	Not For Me

Entrant:	tatanga - Bowser's Blocks
Commentary:	This one starts of pretty slow, but ends up becoming (a lot) better than what I was expecting.
		However, the timing required for screens 08-09 of sublevel 26 is rather stupid and borders on
		trial and error/luck.  The second half additionally could've used a second powerup around
		halfway through (75% into the level basically).

		Other than those quips, the level fares out pretty well.
Verdict:	DISQUALIFIED - Uses "used" blocks as Munchers

Entrant:	Pikerchu13/Paikerchu - African Cave of Ice
Commentary:	Fundamentally, this level works. But with the low ceilings, hazards everywhere, slippery
		physics, and eventaully auto-scroll, this level seriously pushes the line between hard and
		unreasonable.  Frankly, I would say the tight spaces you have to work with is the biggest
		problem here, as they're often surrounded by Munchers, Spikes, or some other immediate danger.

		Somewhat overwhelming, to be frank.

		It makes a turn for the worse when auto-scroll is thrown into the mix, forcing you to play at
		the level's pace.  Inherently there's nothing wrong with that, but the working room you're
		given doesn't allow for mistakes.  Podoboos will come out from the lava below in unmarked
		locations and too often you'll be making close calls by design since you'll also be forced to
		wait out obstacles befor you can make your turn.

		The level is not horrible, but it should really cut the player some slack.
Verdict:	Unfufilling

Entrant:	LuigiTime - Mario and the Quest for the Perfect Picnic Spot
Commentary:	Lots of stuff wrong here.  The length is pretty up there and the pacing is all sorts of shot
		(arbitrary nonsense in the first half, and underwater sections are self-explanatory).
		Cutoff is commoplace, the giant pipes- while I see what you were getting at- doesn't come out
		looking too good, forced power-downs/Big Mario Discrimination. (Narrow corridors with Torpedo
		Teds). An arbitrary secret exit placed in plain sight, a complete lack of a checkpoint.
		
		Overall, it feel like this level was rushed to meet the contest deadline, really.
Verdict:	DISQUALIFIED - Uses guardrail tiles as vines and (green) water as lava.
