    IIRC they get revealed when the schedule goes live, which probably won't be for another few weeks or so.

    Huh I thought omeganauts had a lot longer time to prepare

    vvv- I asked an 09 omeganaut about it. Might have changed in the years or the schedule released sooner back then

    I had no idea you were an Omeganaut, and having never been one, I wouldn't know :(

    From what I hear practice only gets you so far. They apparently change up the rules of the games so however you've been practicing might not the way the game ends up being played.

    This was posted about two weeks ago and the Dev schedule launched last Thursday. Here's hoping that Prime schedule is right around the corner :D

    It is interesting to note that none of the known rounds are physical games.

    Given that the Rocket League tournaments are in the Main Theater, I would not be surprised that it would also be the Omegathon Finale.

    Edit:
    Wrong location, but sticking to my guess

    The Rocket League tournaments are not in the Main Theater, they are in the Paramount which is just holding those esports tourneys. The Benaroya is the Main Theater this year.

    Omegathon Finale:
    I know it must be hectic to perform in front of an audience, but I wish one of them would get the fire flower and go back to that door in the ice cars.

    Lysander beat out Mighty in a very cool custom Mario Maker level themed around PAX. Was a lot of fun but ran long enough we didn't get to see Mike and Jerry play.

    I think I heard mention that the level will be available for download, so we can all try the little secrets we think we saw~

    Super happy that my friend Mighty made it to the finals.

    The finale was possibly the most painful thing I've watched in years, and it wasn't because of the level, haha. Someone behind me equated it to watching a Twitch Plays stream.

  • DeciusDecius I'm old! I'm fat! I'M BLUE!Registered User regular
    That final round was analogous to the movie The Wizard; it was painful to watch, didn't make sense half the time, and resulted in me wanting to buy a Nintendo product.

    Congrats to the winner though!

    I actually loved watching the final round. It was the best one in (my) recent memory.

    IMO, the Omegaclaw has yet to be beaten due to its potent combination of suspense and childhood nostalgia.

    Omegaclaw, Spy Party and Trials were all pretty great. Ikaruga wasn't bad, either.

    The NWC levels are unlockable via beating 10 Man Mario (or whatever it's called) 7 times. As for the PAX level I'm sure they'll just release the code eventually.

    Just marking my spot here for when the PAX level is out in the wild. Mario Maker is a cruel and harsh mistress

  • Kaoken00Kaoken00 TexasRegistered User regular
    Has anyone found the Pax Prime Mario Level yet or has the ID for the level been posted anywhere?
