I'm thinking about using a sticker prize as a proof of completion for a level I'm making. So at the end of my level, they get a sticker, and then they can use it in another of my levels on a sticker switch to access advanced content. This is just like some MM story levels do and I've seen other player-created levels do it too, so it's by no means a new idea on my part. In my case, for design reasons beyond the scope of my question, it's kind of important to me that I know that the person applying my sticker actually earned that sticker on my previous level. So my question is, if I put a custom made sticker in a prize bubble and mark the bubble non-sharable, are there any ways in which players can readily defeat my intentions and share the sticker still? Could they use my sticker on an object that they in turn wish to share, and somehow pass the sticker itself that way? Thanks for any verification, one way or the other.

I'm not 100% about this... But I think that any object build from locked items (stickers or other objects) will be locked to sharing when you capture it. Also if someone, who does not posses a given locked sticker, tries to removes it form where it was placed, I'm pretty sure it will simply vanish as if have they pressed triangle on top of it. EDIT: In short I don't think you need to fear that people will be sharing your stickers illegally

Hey, I'm sorry to say there is a possible way that person #2 could get it. See, person #1 (who has obtained the sticker properly) could sticker your home-made sticker onto anything, even the inside of his pod and person #2 (the one without the sticker) could use the Sticker and Decoration edit tool to move the sticker onto himself, then go onto your level, take the sticker off of himself and put it onto the sticker switch and therefore undermining your efforts. But I expect only the extremists would try that. Another way is 2 people go onto your level, person #1 could get the sticker out of his bag, put it onto the sticker switch and let both the people through. Edit: Hold on, wouldn't the second reason still work, because if you have a gate that opens with a sticker switch and person#1 has the sticker and opens the gate, they would both be able to get though. Hope this helped, Zephire PS:Someone please tell me if all the answers are complete and utter lunacy.

Make the first level worth playing (qua rewards, gameplay, looks, laughs, etcetera) and even the most boring no-lifers will have an incentive not to cheat on the second level.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. So it sounds like the final word is that stickers can be reliably used as I'm intending. Excellent.
