The Golden Rule:

SAWBLADES.

If your level doesn't have at least one Sawblade in it, it sucks. It completely ultimately sucks.


time to update a level I made then

Don't listen to him.  Sawblades may be the most iconic Meat Boy hazard, but not every level has Goomba's.  There are thousands of good ideas for stages that don't need sawblades.

Not if you're making a Forest level.

1-1.

1-1 sucked.  Its good for teaching the ropes, but other than that who's ever going to play it again?

What's the point of making a level without a sawblade on it?
Seriously, it's kind of like a fanfiction where you purposely exclude everything good, and then wonder why nobody likes it.

Not really, it's more like a Zelda game without Moblins.  No one really cares or notices.

Yeah, if we adhered to that rule we'd have to throw out a good chunk of the original game!

What does this even mean?  Seriously, fucking ocarina of time, which is everyone's favorite doesn't have Moblins.  Clearly they are not a big deal, and neither are sawblades.  There are plenty of other good hazards to work with, not every stage needs them.

There are plenty of other hazards that do exactly the same thing, anyway. 3-2 doesn't have any sawblades; it just has salt. But really, salt and sawblades are identical in everything but appearance and it's nice to have a level that's not covered in a bazillion whirring things like 7-1.

People are idiots Mew. It's probably best to ignore them.

Mew is completely right. If you think SMB needs sawblades in every levels then you clearly haven't finished the original game and are severely lacking in imagination yourself. This is your crutch to bear alone - don't try to foist it on others.
