Challenge event/Level Creation Contest 2019

The Level Creation Contest in 2019 was made to do another event like the 2017 one. The differences are that the Challenge category was fused with the Non-Traditional one, and Kaizo levels were entirely forbidden. The two categories were "Traditional" and "Non-traditional".

Rules

General

• Use of major glitches, exploits, and text editing techniques are forbidden from usage in a submitted stage.
• This does not include commonly “encouraged” bugs such as one-way teleporters or the Minimap-driven autotiler fix.
• Each user may only submit a single stage per category.
• All stages must be an original work from the user submitting.
• Submissions may not be a .mmlv file - it must be submitted online.
• Stages must be completable and cannot include Developer Exits.
  • Note: A “dev exit” consists of a hidden or obtusely-accessed method to skip a significant section of a level, ranging from an extended challenge to the entire stage.
• Kaizo and Troll stages may not be submitted to either category.
• Inappropriate stage names or in-game imagery is strictly forbidden.
• All stages have to be submitted to the correct category - they will not be moved once Judging begins.
• Harassment of competitors and/or staff of both the main server and MMMLCC will result in instant disqualification.

Traditional

• The chosen character’s stock buster must be the primary weapon.
• The stage must be beatable only with the Primary in at least one route.
• Stages must last up to 25 screens per route and cap off at approx. 50 total screens and up to four checkpoints, including alternate pathing.
• Alternate paths do not require Primary-only completability, but should not lean too much into non-traditional standing.
• Four-way and Vertical scrolling segments are highly discouraged.
• Character and Weapon capsules are not permitted.
• Rule exception: blank weapon capsules may be used as a full WE pickup.
• Regarding Bosses and Midbosses:
• There may only be two Midboss Rooms per stage - any entity that locks a Boss Door until death counts as a midboss, each Room consists of a single screen.
• Actual boss assets may only drop up to Large pickups if used as a midboss.
• Stages must end in a single-Boss encounter.
• Multiple endpoints to a stage are permitted, though still count towards maximum screen count.
• No Boss or Midboss may be immune to Primary fire.

Non-traditional

• General stages that do not follow the rules of the Traditional category.
• Metroidvania-style stages
  • Stages must be under 100 screens total.
• Non-Buster weapon focused stages.
• Rush Jet & Treble Boost levels.
• Puzzle stages.
• Puzzles must not include trollish design or liberal use of bugs
• Boss Rush-esque stages.
  • Use of multiple bosses must be done with 1.5’s in-game functionality.
