The fourth category is Soundtrack, where you're supposed to make a map that goes with a musical theme. I had wanted to do some sort of dancing figure since I first learned of Rype's glitch, but was never satisfied with the movement. Here I first thought of making a couple dancers bounce to "Jump" by Kris Kross. In that song they jump for two beats, then rest for two, then repeat. I was able to create this motion but I wasn't satisfied--I thought it was too boring to win the contest.
So I tried to think of other movement, of getting both the arms and feet to move, and of something that would be more challenging for the mice. And then I thought of this, a fighter who would punch and kick the mice. The stance is kind of similar to the "Crane" from the Karate Kid, and "You're the Best Around" was my second choice for music. But I thought "Kung Fu Fighting" would be more universal, and more fun.
