My QLDC Level is a Super Mario World rom hack created for the 2023 "Questionable Level Design Contest" on SMW Central. One of the submissions to this contest was titled "My QLDC Level", created by Faro and MM102, which won first place in the contest. This hack only contains one level, but the journey to get to the level is the real challange, as Mario has to make his way through the over-world map while avoiding enemies as well as solving puzzles. Was the journey to the level worth it?
If the efforts of Darkman425, Tuffcracker, EnderOnryo, thegugafá & Challenger are anything to go by, it looks like it. Their combined work manages to save 112 frames (00:01.864 seconds) over the previous run thanks to new strategies and optimizations.
