Revamping format
As more updates add various replacements to this course, I feel like the page will eventually get too unwieldy with how we've currently formatting it. I propose rewriting it (all sections would be affected pretty much - Course description, alternate versions, even course strategy) in a table format, to describe each section for easier reference, and for the alternate versions, to make a sortable table by the section it corresponds to that can be sorted by when the variant was introduced. This would be a project that also applies to other multi-sectioned courses like Knight Fever, Tundra Run, and so on.

Here's how the course description might look for this page. I want to replace the chunk after the sentence "All players...elimination slime.", up to the "There is a 2:20 time limit" sentence.

 * Bump. I have now created a sandbox page on my personal user page and revamped the 'alternate versions' section similarly. Would like feedback. Still have to redo the strategy section to follow this format. K3W3L (talk) 11:44, 29 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, that the current pages need to be formatted differently.
 * I like your proposal, but I think we should group those by section (and therefore also combine both tables). I added two alternative layouts to your sandbox page. Whats do you think/prefer?

 * Looks great! No issues with combining both of them from me. At the moment I prefer layout B, though the section numbering splits into individual cells when sorted which kinda ruins the initial neatness. Layout C doesn't have this problem as it's not sortable, but with the amount of table headers I find it feels a bit too large. Another thought that just occurred to me - maybe we could consider flipping the date and season update (perhaps add Season 1 to Standard Version to that end) so it sorts slightly better?

 * Yes, Layout C with all the extra headers is too much.
 * We do not have to switch date and season for the sorting to work. With data-sort-value="SOME VALUE HERE" we can change the sorting behavior without changing the actual content.
 * I adjusted Layout B a bit. I added dates for the standard versions (including data-sort-value) and made there description bold. My original intend behind Layout C with its headers was to better separate sections. The bold description on Layout B now does that.

 * Sick! Next step is to trying to figure out how best to format the course strategy. Not really sure how best to do it - I'm initially thinking unsortable table with a note to say that each strategy corresponds to the variant in the unsorted table above? K3W3L (talk) 15:43, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. I added a letter to each sub-section in Layout B, so that we can reference each one directly. User123698745 (talk) 21:42, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Nice, gonna plug away at it and get an initial version up. K3W3L (talk) 01:55, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
