I came up with this idea before the competition, and have secretly been hoping that this would be the theme so I could put it into action. The player takes the role of the villain in a generic, original Super Mario Bros.-styled game. In the setup for each stage, you can pan around the level and place a limited amount of enemies, platforms, and other objects from an inventory. Once you hit the “Start” button, the dopey, Mario-style platform hero appears at the left side of the stage, and runs through. He’d have very predictable AI — always jumping on enemies and flying a specific height from their heads, always slowing down before a pit, always leaping for powerup blocks, etc. It’s your job to set up the enemies and objects so he dies every time. If he runs out of lives, it’s Game Over, which means you win! (You’d have to kill him more than once so that you can’t just win with a random fluke.)
