Judge comments

Sturg

Way to embrace the silver lining of murdering someone!!!

Zatsupachi

My goodness.

Rameau's Nephew

Um.

+ Technically had a progression.
- Eww.

Other: It's well known that people with similar names are always related, and vice-versa.

Author's notes

I elected to not use Lunalua for this level given my lack of experience with both the SMBX engine and coding in general. While I do not believe the level would benefit from forcing the player to become Mario, I will say that if a check could be done so that anyone using Link, Klonoa, or Uncle Broadsword would be changed to a different character, it would be greatly appreciated.

The terms I chose were bathhouse/sauna (for location), alive, afraid (both adjectives, including my fourth choice,) and Flurry (NPC).

Thank you for this opportunity; I still have a lot to learn about this engine, but I enjoyed finding alternative solutions when things weren't working out immediately, as well as wrestling with the terms I was given. I know this is by no means a perfect level, but I hope it at least makes you crack a smile.
