Mario's Musical Marathon

- Stages should be created with the SMBX 1.3.0.1 engine.

- Each stage should use a single song THAT IS NOT PART OF SMBX'S DEFAULT MUSIC SET as its primary theme. Remixes and alternative versions can be used in conjunction, but it must be clear that the songs are obviously related. Small rooms that are not part of the stage's real meat (for example, intro room, epilogue room) may use other music including SMBX's default music.

- Each stage must have a checkpoint if feasible, 5 dragon coins and end with a SMB3 star. Exceptions to the checkpoint may be allowed for technical reasons -- for example, checkpoints do not work with auto-scrolling stages.

- Stages must not contain SMW stars or the infamously buggy duo of Unskinned Dry Bones and SMW Bowser Statues. It is possible to get textures for dry bones that avoid being buggy and SMB3 Bowser Statues work much better.

- Water must be swimmable and waterfalls must be decorative.

- All characters must be able to clear a stage unless a stage is made with a specific character in mind. In this case you must make sure the player is definitely that character before they begin the main meat of the stage.

- Avoid pesky softlocks, there should be no situation where you are still alive and yet unable to progress.

- Try to avoid one-block high dead end gaps, this causes SMBX's infamous zipping trick and can cause some unwanted effects.

- Luigi would like to remind you that the Mario Bros. are generally a U-rated brand and while he will grant some slack, if a song is too vulgar, he will kindly request you to either find a less vulgar or censored version or in extreme cases may ask you to use a different song. If you're not sure, leave a link in the event comments and he'll let you know.

- Each stage must have Luigi of Mushroom Kingdom's Seal of Approval. The stage will be judged and feedback provided in order to make sure there is a consistent level of quality. Once all feedback has been taken care of, the level will be accepted and published as part of a new version of the episode.

- To submit a new stage, upload an archive (.zip, .rar, etc.) with the necessary files to a place where it can be accessed (for example your RMN locker space or a file-hosting service), then post a link to it in a comment on this game page.
