JCS! JCS! Nippon! 2019 Contest

Contest season continues! This time your mission is to create a level—any level—in some way inspired by Japan! You have all of September to complete your entry. Please upload it to J2O even if you're ashamed of it—we can all be ashamed of it together!

What aspect of Japan? That's up to you! Feudal Japanese warlords? An intelligent discussion of the problem of Japan's declining birth rate? A tribute to some classic Japanese series or genre? The weebiest nonsense you could possibly imagine? That's up to you!

How will entries be judged? Arbitrarily! A weak level with a strong connection to Japan may beat a strong level with a weak connection to Japan, or it may not! There's no way to predict these things.

Which tileset/s should you use? Look, who knows? Traditional Japan? Rising Sun? A Pokemon tileset? An updated version of that same Pokemon tileset? A similar Pokemon tileset to the first? A different Pokemon tileset? A different Pokemon tileset? A different Pokemon tileset? An awful Pokemon tileset? An obscure Pokemon tileset? There are plenty of options, and the more inventive you get with what counts as being inspired by Japan, the wider your pool of options gets!

Are there any restrictions at all? Barely! It should be playable in some version of JJ2, JJ1, JJ3, JJA, and/or Battery Check. You can refurbish an unfinished older level, but you cannot submit a level that has already been released. You may make multiple entries if you have too many ideas to handle. You may create a level called "Assault on Titan" and also submit it to the Assault the Base contest!

What will you win? The winner will receive free Steam codes for the very real video game Go! Go! Nippon! ~My First Trip to Japan~, including its 2015 and 2016 DLCs! Overall user reviews: "Very positive"! An estimated $20 value! Or should I say, an estimated ¥2122.53 value!!!
