## oL7G5poF4c

*Main Article: oL7G5poF4c*

**oL7G5poF4c** is a known porter and one of the most notable music contributors for the VIP series. His ports gained a lot of recognition during the 2000's, due to the good quality of them despite the tools' limitations in the age. Until now, he hasn't named himself publicly with a proper nickname, so he's only known in the SMW hacking scene by his 2ch tripcode.

## SIG

**SIG** is a Japanese SMW hacker with more than 12 years of experience (2008 to 2021) and with a vast number of 39 hacks made. He is known for contributing only to VIP and Wall and Alaska Mix 5, but he could have contributed to others under anonymous. His levels are usually very vanilla with little to no ASM or non-traditional level design elements.

## TSC

*Main Article: TSC*

**TSC** is known for being the only non-anonymous person who's participated in every *finished* (therefore not VIP6) hack of the series.[*citation needed*] His levels are known for being very high in terms of difficulty, often times being difficulty spikes compared to the levels surrounding them. His popularity is too big arround that he gained a "compilation" level in VIP6, "TSC Dream Castle".
