Shigeru Miyamoto hosted the most recent Nintendo Direct, which was all about the Super Nintendo World park in Japan. It opened with the legendary designer jumping out of a pipe. Thank you Nintendo for this ‘Shop Contest Gift’.
Your challenge this week: Have fun with Miyamoto in a pipe!
I originally planned to do a holiday themed contest, but then Nintendo gave me this, and I had to do it. And no, I wasn’t going to do a carp competition, you fools. Keep that shit on Twitter.
And to help you all, here’s a pre-cut Miyamoto from the Direct. Consider this my Christmas present to all of you. I am very disappointed that none of you gave me anything this year. Very rude.

Next week I will choose a winner and some of my favorites!
Updating: I forgot to add ithat I will NOT be here next weekend. I’m taking it off as part of a big winter break. So you get extra time to work on this!
Please be aware that the image submission rules have changed a little. We are now looking for images that are 800 pixels wide!
How to submit – instructions
1. Create your ‘Shop and save it to your desktop. Images must be at least 800 pixels wide.
2. Go to the bottom of this post
3. A comment box will appear. Click on “Choose file” if you are uploading your store from your desktop
4. You can also upload the ‘Shop to a free image hosting service. I recommend imgur. Then paste the URL of the image into the ‘Image URL’ field. Note that this must be the URL of the image itself, not the page on which it appears. That means the URL ends in .jpg, .gif, .png, whatever.
5. Add editorial comment and click Submit and your image will be loaded. If not, upload the image to imgur and paste the image URL as a comment. I will look at it.
6. Large size images may not upload properly although we have seen some animated .gifs over 5MB. If you are still having trouble uploading the image, try to keep the longest size (horizontal or vertical) below 1000 pixels, or the whole below 2MB.
