Challenge event/Level Creation Contest 2017

The MMM Level Creation Contest 2017 was an initiative of the streamer Byucknah The Red, done with the permission and support of the developing team, and the first official level contest of any sort in Mega Man Maker. Discord user She#0384 also helped out as Byucknah's assistant, answering questions and even stepping up twice as a potential judge but did not officially due to more professional judges suitable found for the contest.

Byucknah the Red was interested in creating a level contest after watching levels created in Mega Man Maker. He approached the developing team and suggested them the idea of a level contest, gaining the approval to do so. On 25th October 2017, he gave the guidelines and the time frame to submit levels. The deadline to upload a level was 16th November 2017.

Guidelines

General rules

• Participants may only upload one level per category. If someone wins in the three categories, the levels will be compared and the best one will be kept while the others will be sent to honorable mentions instead.
• Everything must be made only through the Mega Man Maker built in editor. Text-editing is grounds for disqualification. Stealing levels is also grounds for disqualification.
• No developer exits.
• No profanity, racial slurs, or explicit depictions through clever tile use.
• Do not hassle the judges.
• Do not hassle the Mega Man Maker team.

Traditional levels

• Mega Man should have the Mega Buster as his primary weapon, and the stage should be beatable with buster only.
• The stage must contain minimum 2 checkpoints.
• Boss may not be immune to Mega Buster.
• No encouraging of glitch exploitation aside from the one-way Teleporter.

Challenge levels

Here are included levels based around a weapon and light Kaizos.

• No developer exits.
• Levels must be built with the average human reaction time in mind.

Non-traditional levels

• Make something interesting.

Prizes

The creators of the top scoring levels would have a copy for the two Mega Man Legacy Collection compilations on Steam and would have its levels added on the Example Levels if the developers saw it fit.
