Gosh, this is creepy. When I looked at Jimmyb's map at first, I thought it looked very, very familiar. Just now, I noticed something. It's the Clock Town from Majora's Mask! Nice work Jimmyb! icon_clap.gif

YAY, THANK YOU. /me hugs

The Spinies and Piranha Plants were supposed to be the funny bit though. C'mon, 8-bit is beautiful! icon_lol.gif

Yes, the Mario enemies are a nice touch. Do they do anything?

Nope, just a decoration. You could say they're an Easter Egg, kinda. Not the hidden secret that you have to do something crazy to find, but more like the same kind where a Guy says a quote referenced from a popular game, or like how Link's Awakening has a photograph of Princess Peach when you give the letter to Mr. Write. Just there to get a laugh or two.

The dealie here is that the Kunai Clan (the subrosians) have domesticated Spinies and Piranha Plants to help them survive desert wayfaring.

Now that I think about it, I should make one of them tell you that. icon_smile.gif

Edit: Okay, see the goofy stranded man in the lower left of the map? I replaced that with a bigger island that you could climb down onto, and there's a tent there where a female subrosian tells you about their "domesticated 8-bit Spinies and Piranha Plants that they use for food and protection". Flavor text, nothing more. ^_^ I also raised the lava elevation on the bottom row of the map by 1 tile.

CastChaos's gear graphics just clash and look pretty bad, jimmyb's has far too much of that one repeating floor tile, and although Schwa's looks pretty good, the stacked up trees really takes a lot away from it, and I believe the palette is a default Pure palette?
"defauly Pure palette" is synonymous with "crap" in my opinion.

Migo's map is just amazing though.

CastChaos- I like it but some of the tiles looks pretty unfitting.
jimmyb - Wow, Majora's mask!!! It's pretty impressive to see that in ZC - GETS MY VOTE!!!
Migokalle- Meh, I never liked these kind of maps, They dosen't even look like ZC... And there has been to much of them the last days...
Schwa- So...****ing...awesome, That looks like one of the best maps for ages...Would have voted for you if there wasn't a Majoras mask Map here icon_razz.gif

I haven't seen any default Pure lava palettes that I particularily remember, it was just a pure map with a palette that didn't look very good...

I voted for Schwa.

jimmyb's was a nearly instant loss-- it lacked detail and was too open.

I noticed a mistake in Migo's, so I had to mark him down for that. Besides, I think it was too open. From a gameplay perspective, it just doesn't look like that much fun to be in.

CC: I liked the pipes and such, but it looked a tad... blocky. Good layout nonetheless.

Schwa gets my vote because his map looked the overall most fun map to play on. While at first glance it looks long and open, a deeper analysis suggests that it is more like a labyrinth than an open-exploration volcano.
