Send your completed grid to the above puzzle to glmathgrant[at]gmail[dot]com before 11:59 PM Central time on December 15, 2019 to enter the contest. One randomly-selected winner will win my board games TAILITS and Mammalath (with the Mammalath Plus expansion)!

THE WORLD'S WORST SUPER MARIO MAKER 2 LEVEL

Here's a map of a Super Mario Maker 2 level. If you want to play it, the level code is 1C4-7BH-N0G. There are also streamers on websites such as twitch.tv who will play viewer-requested levels, so if you don't own Super Mario Maker 2, you can have them play it for you. There is a puzzle hidden in this level; while watching the level be played (or playing it) might give you a subtle hint regarding how to solve the puzzle, it should be solvable just from the map above, even if you aren't a Nintendo veteran.

Send your final answer to the above puzzle to glmathgrant[at]gmail[dot]com before 11:59 PM Central time on December 15, 2019 to enter the contest. One randomly-selected winner will win my board games TAILITS and Mammalath (with the Mammalath Plus expansion)!

There will be a third prize drawing for those who solve both of the puzzles above. The prize is, as you might expect, my board games TAILITS and Mammalath (with the Mammalath Plus expansion). Good luck, and yappy solving!
