i think its stupid when people say anything to the effect of "you could of spent this time making your game" lets all make games at 10:00 am guys.
anyway, you have some fair points circy but you of all people should know having a working platform movement is only a very tiny part of the game.
not to worry, ill make my own christmas themed mario game without following your rules because im so rebelious, and since i already won mmf 1.5 off this site last year i think, i probly cant win it again anyway.

Dave you can stop bragging.
"thers only one person on tdc who can make a good mario game and thats myself, so if you want a good mario-like game to be submitted then you should allow for any extensions to be used."
Dave you can stop bragging. There are plenty of people that can make good mario engines, not just you. But on to more important things.
Ok, I have sooo many fangame engines that I could use its not even funny, so I just need clarification. I could model the game after the following mario games:
Mario Bros 1 and 3
Super Mario RPG (Isometric veiw, not rpg)
Super Mario RPG (RPG portion)
Mario Bros 2
Mario Kart
Mario's Time Machine
Just say which ones I can use. If all, this will become a very weird game.
Also, can we include mini-games?

i didnt mean no one can make games at 10 am(i never do), what i was saying is that not 100% of the time i spend on the computer is spent making games. when people say "you could of spent this time making the game instead of posting" its just stupid, i dont make games while im online. its like they are saying every second your're on the computer you should be working on your game otherwise its time wasted.
Your general Mario-style levels would be a snowy level, a firey level, a foresty level and a cavernous level. Just make it so in all of these worlds they're celebrating Christmas, a bit of tinsel and baubles and shit strewn around the levels, whatever the theme.
Cool. I haven't clicked in ages. This compo got me going again for a little platform game. Too bad it's judged on it's marioishness though. That leaves out alot of freedom to design your own game. I probably wont score very high there, caus I hate remaking other peoples games. The fun part of game creation is to convert your mind and creative fantasy to a game. Not fun to use someone else's fantasy.
The only restriction that bothered me was the fastloop one. But since it has been taken away, yay! Now I can't complain on anything in this compo and I'm gladly going to enter. I've come up with a great plot to work on.
The game must NOT have any save features - I am going to add a password feature into mine to get around this.
-All graphics MUST not be ripped, and none must NOT be modelled on any Nintendo character - Graphics won't be a problem, the only difficulty is animation for me.
None of the restrictions bother me, it is a competition of initiative rather than a competition to see who can use the extensions best.
Does that mean we can't modify a ripped sprite, or we can't completely redraw a charactor that already excists? So say I'm too unimaginative to create an original enemy could I draw a turtle from scratch and use that? or would I have to think of an original enemy?
