I remember way-way-way back, when J2C was thriving, a young Xeno worked diligently on a new lvl concept. He was going to make a level that he thought no one else created. He started working on this level with the tileset that is Colonial Day. Now this level of his was in his lvl-making infancy, and he wasn't that good at them yet. This level contained many bugs and the sort. But it was a big hit with the people and everyone was asking him, "May I have a house?" This, was the beginning of hotel levels, or as they should be called, town levels. This level of his is called, Town. It was submitted to J2C along with a few other levels and there he was credited with the idea of Town levels. The purpose behind this story? You guys have too much time. Nah, that's not it, the purpose is, I started what hotels should've been, but they turned out differently. People started adding hideous ideas such as chatrooms, jails, overcrowding, etc. These ideas led hotels to what they are today, very very very very very irritating. OK enough of the story. Also, test levels are extremely overused, and are all the same stuff over and over again. Also, almost everything in the test levels are never used in an actual level anyhow. No one will come face to face with an "avoid the grey area or start over in this windy tunnel" thing, mostly because it only proves that most ppl get bored. If that were in a normal JJ2 MP or SP level, most people won't play it simply because of that and the irritation of it all.
