In this competition you will try to draw the best drawing you can of Mega Man or of anything in the Mega Man universe in Mario Paint:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=8140


Rules:
-The drawing needs to be Mega Man themed in some way
-No more than 3 submissions per a user
-Be sure to give each of your submissions a title
-You MUST use the Vizzed RGR Plugin to take the screenshots
The Screenshot you submit has to be a screenshot you took with the RGR Plugin and the URL of the image has to be the same url of the image of the screenshot you took, you cannot upload your screenshot somewhere else and use that as your submission, you have to use the actual url of the images that were uploaded when you took the screenshots.
-If you can get the mouse to work, you may use the Mouse enabled version of Mario Paint found here:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/game.php?id=8139
(you have to make adjustments from the menu and it only works in IE and FF)


TIP: You have to click Mario with the A key in order to start
TIP2: Although the original game required a mouse, this version you can simply use your keyboard arrows (or controller d-pad if you're using a controller)


PREVIOUS WINNERS:
This is the 5th Mario Paint competition, we do 1 every October making it an annual competition. You can see previous winners below:
2014: Link / Zelda = Dahaka
2013: Pokemon = Dahaka
2012: Sonic = madison & rcarter2
2011: Master Chief = rcarter2
2010: Mario = Kerubi


Prizes:
1st = 25,000 Viz (and $25 with recording)
2nd = 10,000 Viz (and $10 with recording)
3rd = 5,000 Viz


BONUS: If you rank in the top 2 and recorded yourself making the drawing then you're eligible for a cash prize on top of the Viz prize. 1st place would get $25 and 2nd place would get $10. You can record with an external recording program but if you want to record with the RGR Plugin, you'll have to play the game using Mednafen (link can be found at the top left of the play window).

Title: Mugga Minn an duh Wewwow Devoo




Hooray for trying one's best. I know it's not going to win, but I just felt the need to share this with the world.

Mega Man themed, huh?, yeah, I already have a pair of ideas, btw David, you have a little mistake in the section Previous Winners, you wrote 2013 twice.

One year, I'd kinda like to see if someone can make a good presentation using more than just the drawing board. Mario Paint also included its own music composer and animation studio, and there's a feature within the game to display the animation and play the music on top of your drawing all at once.

In fact, if David will allow it, I might even make a Viz incentive out of my own pool of Viz to include these things in this year's entries; if a user includes either the composer or the animation studio, I'll add 50% of the value of whatever prize they earn, and if they use both, I'll double it. (I unfortunately can't do cash myself, I lack the funds to add to the cash prize.)

So I looked at the last competition, and wow, Dahaka is really good. I think the best I can hope for is second if he's entering (which it looks like he is).

Title: Classic Mega Man Sprite

Anyway, this is my first submission, a recreation of Mega Man's original sprite from the NES games. I know most people would have used the stamp maker for something like this, but I felt like that was a bit lazy, not to mention it's not big enough for this sprite (16x16 and this sprite is 25x22). I did record the process of making this, and I'll be uploading that soon (It slowed the computer down to a crawl while it was recording though, so I hope that isn't apparent in the video).

Edit: Yes, it was apparent in the video. My hand isn't this unsteady, not to mention how long the background took to fill. I had to replace the music just because the laggy in-game audio sounded so bad. Regardless, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0vUpYPUyVc

Guy A. Person : You could use the stamp maker to create a stamp of his 1up icon, if you could fit it into a 16x16 square. Pretty nicely done sprite, though. :3

Dahaka : Thanks for letting me know. Fixed.

I can't wait to see what you come up with this year

sonikku : The Mario Paint composer is awesome and I've seen some people on YouTube put together some amazing music with it. I've thought about doing a competition based on the music portion of the game but I fear that it wouldn't have very much participation due to how time consuming it is and due to the amount of users who either wouldn't have the skills to recreate a song or would think they didn't have the skills to recreate a song. I think if I did do a competition like this, I'd want to wait until I'm doing a little bit better financially so that I can offer some nice cash prizes, I think that'd be the only way to get a decent amount of participation.

If you're up for hosting a competition based on all the Mario Paint features, go for it.

Guy A. Person : I think something like that could potentially get you a place depending on who all compete this year.

Davideo7 : Maybe I'll host it after this competition's done. I don't want it to compete with or take away from this one.

sonikku : You could make a thread in the mean time asking people if they'd be interested in it and also giving them notice ahead of time that it'll happen next month. I'm curious, have you ever recreated a song in Mario Paint?

sonikku : Thanks! But about your suggestion: I would like to do that, but someone already did years ago, and I'd feel a bit uncreative if I just cloned that: https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/user_screenshots/saves31/319161/SNES--Mario%20Paint%20Joystick_Feb8%2019_13_49.png
But I might do something like that, just with a different sprite like, say, the metal blade from MM2. My final plan is to 1-up myself (see what I did there) by doing the Mega Man X sprite. Which won't be easy.

Davideo7 : Thanks man, I hope so. Looking at the last competition, I think 2nd is definitely possible with that submission.

Davideo7 : I personally haven't, but would like to give it a go sometime soon. I had a hankering to try and recreate some of the Phoenix Wright themes in the Mario Paint composer.

Guy A. Person : Fair enough. Good luck with the Mega Man X sprite.

sonikku : I haven't actually made a song in Mario Paint before but I have been able to successfully put together some songs in Super Mario Maker and the music making in Super Mario Maker is crap compared to Mario Paint based on what I've seen. Mario Paint gives you some pretty advance tools to make a song, Super Mario Maker makes it incredibly tough and has some serious limitations. Anyway, if I was able to put together some decent songs with Super Mario Maker, I definitely think I could put together something good with Mario Paint which means I'd definitely compete and that makes me excited for a Mario Paint music making competition.

Davideo7 : That would be interesting to see. However, keep in mind that the length of songs in Mario Paint is still limited; if you've run into Mario Paint renditions of songs that look like they loop to the start of a new line of music that's completely different from the first, those were made using a different program, Mario Paint only supports however far it decides to go, which is probably the most it can save in SRAM.

sonikku : I'm sure it's still better than Super Mario Maker. In that you can only make a song about 30 seconds long and there's a strict limit on how many objects you can use and the objects are what you use to make the songs.

hi, this is my first attemp to draw something on Mario Paint. I had to say that it was pretty hard to do it with a wireless mouse, because if I move the mouse, the in-game mouse runs really fast. plus I entered this competition because my son is sick and I want cheer him up a little bit. I gotta say also it 5am, I spend just 1 hour. I know I could do more, but believe me I'm pretty tired

Hope you like it, dispite it looks like a 5 year old drawing



this is raw version, I'll try to submit an accelerated and edited version


pd:man idk how to attach image, i'll attach to this post


and this is the accelerated version

Guy A. Person: Thank you man! I really appreciate it.

kameb : For your first try in Mario Paint I think it's pretty good, besides it's all a challenge to draw at 5am.


So, after a while finally I can post my first submission.
