Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level
It is your destiny! This article contains content on an upcoming game. Beware of any potential spoilers!
Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level is the upcoming sequel to Make a Good 24 Hour Mega Man Level. Just like its predecessor, the contest centered around contestants randomly drawing a "box" with specified enemies and gimmicks available in the engine and then having to make a level using those box items in a specified amount of time. Three enemies and two gimmicks were provided in the box, and, as specified by the title, contestants had 48 hours to complete their level. The boxes were handled on Discord, with a bot randomly[1] generating the boxes.
The contest was conducted in an early version of the Megamix Engine as a beta test. Submissions opened on July 25th, 2018, with the bot shutting down on August 23rd, 2018, meaning that the final deadline was August 25th. It was hosted by head judge ParmaJon, with M-Jacq, Freeman, and PKWeegee rounding out the judge panel. It garnered a final count of 110 submissions, a surprising increase from MaGMML2.

Trivia
- This contest is the first contest to outright exclude some submitted levels from the final game.
- Not using box items and/or putting custom objects in a level were grounds for complete removal. Levels excluded for these offenses were "Chaos of the Factory", "Air Woooosh", "Do You Have the Guts to Conquer Gravity?", and "Wasteland Beach".
- The contest allowed resubmission of entirely new levels to replace previously submitted ones, as long as the submitter still had boxes left. Levels excluded because of resubmission were "Air Control", "Platform Lab", and "AAAAAA".
- ↑ Some suspect that it is not actually random, and instead favors fire items and Venus Waterfalls.
