How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man!?
The wall has returned once again to quench it's thirst of being a huge inconvenience. Characters from all around come together to defeat this impenetrable foe once and for all.
Smash Wall Collab has been a continuing franchise throughout the decades. Loved by all who animate, watch, or both. A collab to let people expel their creative juices and just make whatever the hell they want. I want people to keep feeling that genuine fun and excitement as we continue to grow as a community of artists. This collab is all on you, guys and gals! Have fun!

Rules: The Do’s and don’ts.
1. You cannot destroy the wall in its entirety.
That defeats the fun~! If you’ve seen the past Smash Wall Collaborations, you’ll understand the formula easily. Come in, do your thing, then your part ends.
2. Your part starts, and ends with the wall being the same as it started.
Do not destroy a chunk of the wall and end it there. It must return to its original shape.
3. You cannot go over, or around the wall.
The point of the wall is for it to block any possibility of you passing. Which means even if you fly over it, it will elongate even higher to block your path. You can play with this idea all you’d like! Just follow rule #2.
4. You can TRY to go under it, if you so wish.
But you're putting yourself into an even more dangerous territory~! You’re allowing yourself to be surrounded by all sides. >: ]
5. Music.
You CAN have music in your part. But be aware that It will be a 95% chance that I will ask you to remove it.
6. Animate whoever you want!
All are welcome! Sonic, kirby, maple, stick figures, etc. Drawn animation is strictly for the wall, unless you have been personally approved for character animation.You can even animate OC's that don't even belong to you. Have-
7. -Fun!
Animate whatever the hell you want! As long as it's involving action. You could say screw it and your character gets interrupted by Bazelgeuse(Monster hunter joke i'm sorry) in the middle of your part and have to fight THAT and the WALL at the SAME TIME! Go crazy!

Flash, Animate CC, After Effects, GIF, Come on in!
Frames Per Second: 24-60 FPS.
You can use whatever FPS you want above 24 FPS. Yes, even 60 fps.

A.k.a. 640x360, 1280x720, or 1920x1080.
Watermarks
If you do not have a watermark, I will add one in post production. Everyone deserves credit for what they've made. ||(I'm sorry MCQSquare I genuinely don't know what happened... LMAO)||
BACKGROUND COLOR!
If you want to change your backgrounds color into something else, feel free too! Just make sure it's a linear color (One color fading into 2nd color.)
Time limit: 5 sec to 1 min 30 sec.
This is the standard, but if you have ideas that will last longer than 1 minute you must discuss with me and the co-host.
Audio settings:
Feel free to do whatever you want if these settings do not work out. The goal is to have the best Audio quality. We're in 2019 after all! Gotta be High Quality as can be!
==MONTHLY CHECK UPS!!!==
There will be a monthly check up. 4 strikes and you’re out.
“Idk if I can make the deadlines. What can I do?”
We’re aiming to be pretty flexible. This collab is all about fun after all, so even if you just have 5 seconds that's completely fine. Feel free to contact me and the co-host TheMarioMations at any time. We understand things can happen in life! Just communicate with us and things will be fine!
“How do I obtain a strike?”
Simply ghost me or the co-host. Or show an “update” to your animation that’s very minuscule. I’m talking like 1 second or less. You can potentially avoid this by simple communicating with me and the co-host before the check up deadline~!
==DUEDATE==
February 21st 2020! A whole 5 months from September 1st, the Official starting date.
WHERE DO I SIGN UP???
To maintain quality control, we're manually reviewing potential participants to see your best/recent work. Just send a simple link and we decide from there!
For those who have a discord, there will be a big server for you to join. Come on down~!
