1. Would it be against the rules if I were to only add one level to the game? 
Ex: Let’s say in a regular Mario game there’s only 6 levels, in my fan-game it would only focus on a new level called “level 7”. Would that be against the rules?


2. Would it be against the rules to only make one change to a level from an original game? 
Ex: The final boss of a regular Mario game is Bowser. But in my fan-game the final boss would just be a different enemy or simply robot Bowser that is more harder than the original. Would that be against the rules?

Thanks

Are you planning to make a ROM hack? If so yeah, those would be allowed since they aren't just changing graphics and music.

That being said, if your hack and up being that simple I don't think that many people would want to check it out or would rate it very high. If you want to know what kinds of games you'll be going against you can check the entries for the previous game jams we hosted from below:

Oh ok thanks.

It’s just that I have this idea where I want to either add a section or make changes to an existing section of an indie game that I saw a youtuber played.

I feel like that could work if you give it a unique twist based on the theme of the jam, but yeah as far as the rules go it's allowed regardless.
