'''Make a Good Mega Man Level''', also known as ''MaGMML'' and ''MaGMML1'', is the first in the ''MaGMML'' series, taking place from 2015-2016. The premise, inspired by the ''Make a Good Level'' contests from Talkhaus, was to try and build the best level in a Mega Man engine that the contestants could, with this being accomplished with a modified Blyka's Engine, put together in Game Maker 8.0 Pro. Being the first in the series, there were quite a few quirks, such as a very badly put together rubric taken directly from ''MaGLX2'', and the game being in Blyka's Engine rather than the Mega Engine. Also, unlike its successors, the devkit was request-only out of paranoia that the MaGMML1 engine would become the basis for a ton of crappy, low effort fangames that just used all the assets it had and nothing else. Needless to say, this was unfounded. The contest had 20 entries overall, split into 5 tiers of 4 levels each, with 6 Wily stages by the judges and 4 Tier Bosses. The contest was judged by [[SnoruntPyro]], [[Cheez8]], [[Duvi0]], [[Mick Galbani]] and [[MrKyurem]]. | '''Make a Good Mega Man Level''', also known as ''MaGMML'' and ''MaGMML1'', is the first in the ''MaGMML'' series, taking place from 2015-2016.

- ―SnoruntPyro on the contest
Make a Good Mega Man Level, also known as MaGMML and MaGMML1, is the first in the MaGMML series, taking place from 2015-2016. The premise, inspired by the Make a Good Level contests from Talkhaus, was to try and build the best level in a Mega Man engine that the contestants could, with this being accomplished with a modified Blyka's Engine, put together in Game Maker 8.0 Pro. Being the first in the series, there were quite a few quirks, such as a very badly put together rubric taken directly from MaGLX2, and the game being in Blyka's Engine rather than the Mega Engine. Also, unlike its successors, the devkit was request-only out of paranoia that the MaGMML1 engine would become the basis for a ton of crappy, low effort fangames that just used all the assets it had and nothing else. Needless to say, this was unfounded. The contest had 20 entries overall, split into 5 tiers of 4 levels each, with 6 Wily stages by the judges and 4 Tier Bosses. The contest was judged by SnoruntPyro, Cheez8, Duvi0, Mick Galbani and MrKyurem.
A remake of the game, now officially titled MaGMML1 Remastered, was revealed on the second anniversary of MaGMML1 (5/23/18). Its release date is unknown but it has been mentioned by SnoruntPyro that it is close to completion. Along with this, an brand new interquel was teased at, but all that has been officially shown is the name. Things to note as revealed in the trailer are the new hub worlds completely remade from scratch, a new Tier 1 boss (the Tier 4 boss has also been stated to be replaced as well), a fortress boss from ``MEGA ARM 02``, the game being made in a better version of the MaGMML2 engine, and a new costume shop that has Proto Man, Bass, and Roll, where as in the original all that could be bought was Proto Man from Eddie's shop.
Contents
Story
The game begins with a traditional intro cutscene explaining that since it had been months since Dr. Wily's last defeat, the people of Mega City or Towntown or whatever, were setting up a festival to celebrate the new peacetime. Predictably, Dr. Wily shows up and scatters the festival's Energy Elements, announcing yet another plan to take over the world and daring Mega Man to get past his unbreakable barrier by his newest castle. Dr. Light finds out that 24 Energy Elements will be able to break the barrier, and sends out Mega Man to the festival to collect them all.
Soon, Mega Man finds out that Dr. Wily has revived some fangame robot masters to stand in his way, but not much else comes of this. Once all 24 Energy Elements are collected, Mega Man returns to the lab to find out that Dr. Wily had broken in and left a note for Mega Man, challenging him to invade his fortress. Mega Man, as usual, gets in and clears it out, cornering Dr. Wily. After destroying his newest Wily Machine, Wily tells Mega Man that it's not over yet, and that he has yet to face his greatest creation ever. Mega Man chases Dr. Wily to a space platform, where a strange robot drops down. Mega Man battles this robot, but it turns out to be a weak piece of crap, only built to let Dr. Wily escape once again. Mega Man escapes the self-destructing castle, and the ordeal is over.
Gameplay
Gameplay is essentially the same as a typical NES classic Mega Man game. Being based on Blyka's Engine, the game shares the most similarities with Mega Man 5, and is the only MaGMML game to run at 30 FPS instead of 60. Mega Man starts the game with a full arsenal already in hand, voted in by the Talkhaus community. The goal of each stage is to get to the end and claim the Energy Element. Each level is placed in a tier based on how high of a score it got and a hub world is used to connect them all, with each tier having four levels each and a boss fight based on a fangame boss (except for Tier 5).
