Quote:[Now I'm late once again and my input is probably not real important but anyway] I just feel like pointing out a question: why is it presumed that newcomers won't have an editor? The editor(s) are widely talked about in the same areas as custom level sets and it seems to me that a lot of people who would play any CCLP, including this one actually would have an editor. Even if they don't want to create levels. When I first discovered the custom level scene, I only did so through the editor really, after finding Chit edit.
I thought Mirror and Thief were great and levels in CCLP2. With these kind of levels you might not see the picture but you get an idea and it explains what's going on in the hint tile. I think a level like this adds a lot of flavor to a community set.
I think the difference with Mirror and Spy is that their "big picture" is of a CC-related graphic (well, at least if you're playing MSCC... ), whereas Flareon is from a non-CC game, therefore many would miss or be confused at the reference... I would say that Super Chip from CCLP3 almost falls in the same category though, with the exception being that the Mario references come more from the gameplay than seeing the whole map... And you raise a good point that if a player finds CCLP1, there is a good chance that they could easily find an editor too...
