    Games Done Quick Ninja Track Building Competition - Gaming/Retro/Classic/Cartoon

    Ninja Building Competition level 1 - 3

    Hey everyone , This summer at Summer Games Done quick I have submitted an expedition style speedrun with a gaming and GDQ theme. It will be a showcase of the best Game themed speedrunning lines we have In trials fusion for the first 45 minutes of the timeslot.
    From 45:00 to 1:30: A showcase of Ninja Tracks from this Building competition. We will be able to get many tracks into the 45 minute timeslot.
    All tracks built will be played a lot and practiced on, so we will be able to fit in a large amount of Ninja builds in the 45 minutes.

    For anyone who doesn't know Games Done quick is an Annual Gaming charity event that raises money for MSF, Doctors Without Borders and Prevent cancer foundation. Hundreds of thousands watch the live streams and donate whilst watching and help raise for charity. There are 2 events run each year in the Summer and the Winter. Each event over 1 Million dollars is raised for charity. So you will be building for a great cause

    Prizes:
    Prizes for Places 1st to 3rd to be handled by Redlynx

    First Place: Platinum Redlynx Prize Pack
    Second Place: Gold Redlynx Prize Pack
    Third Place: Silver Redlynx Prize Pack
    Fourth Place: To be determined (I will supply this myself)
    Firth Place: To be determined (I will supply this myself)

    Tracks #1 - #10 Will all be shown live at the event
    (If the average track length is under 4 minutes)


    Theme:
    Games Done Quick/Retro Games/Classic Games/Cartoon/Nintendo/Marvel/Sega/Anything that is easily Recognizable

    If you have watched a GDQ before and know the sort of games shown at these events, take inspiration from any game that has ever been speedrun at a Games Done Quick!
    If you haven't seen one of these events, then no problem!, Think of a popular game you really enjoyed when you were growing up or from the past 20-30 years for example and go from there!

    Ideas: Sonic/Mario/Donkey Kong/The Simpsons/Batman(Dark Gloomy)/Lion King/BanjoKazooie/CrashBandicoot/Rayman + Hundreds of more ideas out there

    If you cant think of a theme then make your usual style Ninja Track with the words GAMES DONE QUICK in the background, or you can even include this in a themed track you have designed

    Track Tags:

    All tracks must have [GDQ] before the track name, So they are easy to find in the feeds, thankyou

    Track Difficulty:
    Level 1-3 Ninjas, This is so the gameplay is slower so people watching can admire the work you have put into background and or animations
    I will also accept Tricky extreme tracks, "Ninja lvl 0s", Just look at some of the DLC career extremes, Meteorrain and WOTM are good examples

    In the past I have seen some really funny tracks made inspired from classic games like Mario, These are a few examples:
    Off course these are speedrunning lines so as you can see you cant really admire the background that much because your going so fast, but it serves as a good idea of the theme of this building contest:

    Edit: I think it is a thumbs up on the prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd places. I will make sure all top 5 get something, even If I chip in myself!

    Rules: You can submit more then 1 track If you wish, Teams are Allowed but again only 1 Prize will be given.
    However if you place twice in the top 5 you will only get prizes for one placing and then for example the 6th placed track will receive a prize.
    You can build on any Platform except 360

    The Style of tracks:
    Go crazy, whatever you like with the driving lines!, Don't shy away from back wheel or front wheel or Climb only tracks or a track that has a mixture of everything!, Whatever you want!
    - Monkey Bars
    - Throttle climbs
    - Backwards obstacles
    - Front wheels
    - Overhangs

    Anything in the level 1-3 range!


    Duration of Contest:
    It Starts Today! (02-11-2016), and will run until the 21st June (A little under 2 weeks before the event) Giving runners some practice time for the winning tracks and to work on the commentary for the showcase

    Note that this is a Competition from 3-4 PC Community friends. Me, Boshos, OsoGuineaPig and Vantier. I may be looking for more Judges but please don't reply to this thread asking. Contact me on PM's here or any other Social Media PM's like Twitter.

    If you are eager to enter this but Have never made a Ninja track then make a Hard Extreme track and you can still take part in the competition!

    Hey Nibor, Thanks for taking an Interest my friend,
    Remember you can always make a tricky extreme track and enter the competition
    Or to put it another way, "Ninja lvl 0"



    As for the Tag i'm not sure, what do you think is better?
    [GDQ] o GDQ?

    Tag is [GDQ], I couldn't think of anything better

    Also here is more theme examples
    I know they are not ninja lines but they are examples for the theme.

    - MineCraft <-- Made by Pc Community dudes
    - Mix Of Gaming Characters
    - Mix Of Gaming Characters #2
    - Another Mario
    - Gif Example #1
    - Sonic 1
    - Sonic 2
    - Sonic 3
    - Itchy and Scratchy lol
    - Spiderman/Hulk
    - Flinstones
    - Just lmao
    - South Park lol

    Please note I'm only using mario/sonic as an example, there is hundreds of other retro gaming themes and other games in general either seen at past GDQs or simply from your gaming history. You are only limited by your imagination!
    It's just a good example to use, Also Mario is very big atm with Super Mario Maker so it would be cool to see atleast 1 Ninja Mario track

    Also Ive been asked if old anime fits the theme, for example Dragonball or One Peice:
    It does, The theme put simply is a popular Marvel/Disney/Cartoons/Anime/SpeedrunsGames/Retro games/Current games
    Even something like Star Wars (Movies) Fits the theme
    Something that is easily recognizable

    This competition will serve as an awesome way to show the world what the Trials Editor is capable of, and as always during GDQ's I hope it will bring more players and creative minds into our amazing community

    I'm really excited to see what you dudes come up with

    Hey Rakete, Glad you enjoyed it.

    The winning Tracks from the competition will be played at GDQ
    Either by 1 person or a race between 3 people

    I'll be commentating as I'm not a great Ninja
