yea probably..but an idea(i just thought of it and it may not be any good)but the game randomly takes peices of the stages like the spikes and floors and randomizes their locations so that its literally random maps every time and it would be fair game for anyone and everyone
I think that some maps could be joined together. For example you could join together tubes and secret staircase. Another one would be marathon and slip and slide. I think it would be funner if the maps were joined together, but not all of them into one big map. That would just be too long.
Map editor sounds fun, but I better like the idea of new maps from John in form of updates, because too much maps will take EP in other direction. I like the idea to practice the maps to get perfection, with too much of them (user posted) that would be lost.
I would say if you die once you lose the game. I'm still sticking with my one idea of conjoining some of the maps together, and probably add some new material.
