Pros:
• Well-designed, with opportunities for avoiding the saws rather than forcing spin-jumps.

Cons:

Comments:
Pros:
• I liked the general idea behind the level and it reminded me of the Grand Finale level from Super Mario 3D Land.
• Tricky without being obnoxious.

Cons:
• A little more variety would have been nice. More tricks with the Spinies, maybe, or different block environments.

Comments:
Pros:
• I liked the autumn theming.
• Level design was unique and seemed to trick me into certain choices, which was neat.

Cons:
• I wish it had been easier to tell which blocks would start the block snake "fuses"

Comments:
Pros:
• Your good use of the Wooden Spikes, Expanding Platforms, and moving Gray Platforms makes for a neat and dynamic environment.
• Great use of Layer 2 movement in your scrolling section. I started panicking, thinking I was going to be scroll-killed, and then things started moving. Nice surprise!

Cons:
• I *like* the part where you have to make the run-up-the-wall part, but I *don't* like that it is necessary to progress.
• Coin snake has glitched graphics due to sprite memory settings, I imagine.
• Some blind jumps.

Comments:
Pros:
• This felt like a well-designed low-medium difficult castle that would fit in well with the first half of Super Mario World.
• I liked your flavor text and overworld.

Cons:
• The Dry Beetle has a Dry Bones collapse animation.
• Some portions felt a little empty, like there could have been more enemies, coins, or decorations.

Comments:
Pros:
• This was a well-made level that reminded me of something that could have fit in well in Super Mario World
• I like the way you provided multiple paths and branches to take through the level - great work!

Cons:
• A few areas felt like they just needed a smidge more polish.

Comments:
Pros:
• This was a really cool and interesting level.
• You do a good job of walking the line between frustratingly difficult and satfisfyingly difficult.

Cons:
• The Diggin' Chuck rock-jump portions, especially the one with the water and the vine, kill a little bit of the fun for me, but overall really great!

Comments:
Pros:
• I really enjoyed this level and I don't think I've played a level which so heavily featured and made good use of Note Blocks
• Good level title!

Cons:
• A few sections were obnoxious or felt less polished; the Diggin' Chuck climb/cliff area was the worst offender and just having a hole for rocks to despawn would have been nice.
• The midway point seemed unbalanced especially given the difficulty spike in the second half

Comments:
Pros:
• I think the level was mostly well-designed and tricky and hard without being overwhelming.
• Interesting uses of "conveyor" ropes
• Aesthetically pleasing

Cons:
• I HATED the jump with the Note Blocks right after the Power-Up Block not too far into the stage.

Comments:
Pros:
• This level wasn't my cup of tea, but it was well-designed and aesthetically pleasing.

Cons:
• The difficulty was high for my skill-level, so there's a chance you'll alienate some players.

Comments:
Pros:
• I liked the concept of this level and you made good use of the existing graphics
• Solid level design elements

Cons:
• This level felt short, and I think part of the problem might have been using the Fishin' Boo. Once you put him in (and I've had this experience, too) you are stuck to designing the rest of the level around avoiding him. If you ever remade this level, moving him to the VERY end section or in a sublevel would be a good move.

Comments:
Pros:
• Really "cool" concept for a level
• Mostly good level design; good reuse of space

Cons:
• While the concept for your level was solid, the level felt really LONG
• Some of the Grinder/crushing sections were a bit overly difficult

Comments:
Pros:
• A pretty well-made spooky forest
• Nice placement of collectibles

Cons:
• If the springboard served a purpose aside from collecting Dragon Coins, I missed it.
• This *seemed* very linear. I didn't locate any side paths

Comments:
Pros:
• This was a well-made icy level that uses sprites not typically combined in this setting, so I liked the unique flavor
• The Dolphin area was fun.
• Nice hiding and placement of bonus items.

Cons:
• A little more decoration would have been nice.

Comments:
Pros:
• I think the puzzles were mostly well-designed and fair. I liked the last room best.
• Nice writing solution

Cons:
• What's with the Bouncing Rex Heads? 3spoopy5me
• You can definitely get stuck in the second-to-last room if you jump onto the rope after fireballing the Jumpin' Piranha Plants
• glitched Podoboo trails
• The rooms didn't have a lot that made them distinct...

Comments:
Pros:
• A nice low-medium difficulty level that would have worked well as Yoshi's Island 4.
•

Cons:
• Felt fairly repetitive -- Goomba/Yellow Paratroopa platform > simple-curve Saw-line [repeat]
• The difficulty ramped up unexpectedly with the spin-jumping requirement.

Comments:
Pros:
• I've never been a huge fan of SMW's smasher castles, but this was really well-made
• You made great use of the disappearing floor sprite, probably the best use of it I've ever seen.

Cons:
• It felt a little short, but I also think you explored all the iterations of your potential puzzles fully. Maybe a non-themed portion or side path would add something?

Comments:
Pros:
• A really well-made and nice-looking puzzle level that explores some of SMW's unique spin-jump mechanics without abusing exploits

Cons:
• Some of the timing is a bit too precise, and it becomes less about puzzle-solving and more about problem-solving

Comments:
Pros:
• You took a cool level design concept and explored it fully and very well without it being tedious
• The Ghost Water *was* spooky!

Cons:
• The Porcu-Puffer was a little annoying
• The levels seemed a bit sparse, apart from the enemies. Few coins, blocks, decorations.

Comments:
Pros:
• It was refreshing to play an ice level without slippery effects.
• There were a couple of nice things here, like the breakable Spin Block to get the Dragon Coin or the drops down evading the Lava Lotuses
• Good use of the ice blocks.


Cons:
• I wish there had been another side path or a showpiece

Comments:
Pros:
• Your castle and caves are really well-designed and interesting
• The "Ghost Attic" is a nice vertical section with scrolling hazzards.

Cons:
• The Note Block bounce sprites are glitched in the "Ghost Attic"
• The Layer 3 fog in the "Ghost Attic" absorbs your status bar
• Did we visit EVERY vanilla level style? Feels a little theme-less, but you also transition well. I'm mixed.

Comments:
Pros:
• A nicely-designed early-game-type level.
• Manages to generate SMW and SMB3 nostalgia
• I like the Lakitus in the bushes. The first one at the bottom of the screen creates a potential 1-Up generator. ;)

Cons:
• Some areas did feel a little empty, in terms of decorations or enemies.
• A highlight near the middle of the level would make it feel more unique or pop better.

Comments:
Pros:
• Really well-designed and well-drawn with lots of nice detail.
• The second section had some good puzzles.
• The shaft at the end was awesome.

Cons:
• Glitched lava splashes :?
• At the end of the first section, I was able to jump into the cliff. :(
• I wish the coins-as-warnings had been telegraphed better.

Comments:
Pros:
• The first section is really well designed and has a great aesthetic.
• Cool water beakers!

Cons:
• The ice blocks have Eeries as bounce sprites! Spooky!
• Some of the jumping skills required right before the goal are overwhelming. The whole second section is too exacting.

Comments: DISQUALIFIED
Pros:
• This was a interesting, challenging, creative level.

Cons:
• It NEVER felt natural to me.
• The last stretch was so timing dependent that it would be a chore to play without the rewind option, giving the mentral training you need to get "good" at this level scenario.

Comments: DISQUALIFIED
Pros:
• I liked the scrolling bit with evading the Bullet Bills.
• Nice use of Koopa Troopas and their interactions - that part was well-designed.

Cons:
• The end of the scrolling area ends in a midpoint that scrolls you to death. What's up with that?
• The transition into the castle is abrupt and not telegraphed well.
• I couldn't beat this level

Comments:
Pros:
• I like the idea behind the level and the underlying concepts behind the level design on display.

Cons:
• The nature of the vertical level results in cutoff Dolphin tiles being incorrectly spawned at the bottom of the screen.
• It's a pet peeve, but I don't like water that you can fall out of the bottom of without some sort of explanation.
• Just not very fun. :( Sorry

Comments:
Pros:
• You are a master at designing line-paths that aren't inherently very dangerous but that trick you into making false steps by being busy and chaotic and forcing reactions.

Cons:
• One place to breathe midway through the level would have been nice - you could have timed it to include a Midway Point, too, I think.

• This reminded me a lot of an actual SMW level with a few nice variations (e.g. water-bound Piranha Plants).
• I was surprised to learn that Rexes can't be defeated by being hit from below.

Cons:
• Over-and-done pretty quick. Seemed a little empty sometimes. Was there a side-path?

Comments:
Pros:
• Forest Of Illusion is one of my favorite worlds in SMW and this felt like it could have fit right in there.
• Nice use of the rarely-used Growing Pipes.

Cons:
• Was the right Sprite Memory Setting on here? The key didn't spawn or appear for me on my first pass by its location and I just happened to backtrack and find it. Maybe I just had a perfect storm of the right combinations to unspawn it, but still.
• Once I got Yoshi, his head also kept disappearing. Just too much going on, I guess. Darn Wigglers! *shakes fist*

• I liked how the second half of the level was built around the idea of the Block Snake being like a burning fuse you have to follow.

Cons:
• There was a lot of waiting for the snake. A Bullet Bill generator of some kind might have helped.

Pros:
• This was a really cool concept for a level. I've never seen anything like this before.
• You explore this concept with a lot of clever puzzles.

Cons:
• The message box states that this level was too short. I agree.
• I would have liked to have seen this idea more fully explored. Also, I'm not sure what could have been done vanilla, but some more use of transparencies would have carried the idea further.

Pros:
• I kind of liked the combination of slippery ice and lava rafting.
• Challenging without being unfair.
• Well-designed.

Cons:
• If there were branching paths, I didn't find them, so this was awfully linear.
• The level seemed a little on the short side.

Comments:
Pros:
• I normally hate levels that utilize the 45-degree slope, but I loved this level. This was a really well-designed and fun level to play.
• I liked the way you placed collectibles just out-of-reach to force the player to take chances.

Cons:
• My only recommendation is that a few jumps had lurking enemies with unpredictable firepower. That said, it wasn't a HUGE issue. I just can't think of anything else to criticize.

• The first level was a well-done traditional Mario grassland platforming level.

Cons:

Pros:
• This was a cool, creative concept for a level. I think this would work really well as a puzzle concept in many situations.

Cons:

Comments:
Pros:
• I thought this was a fairly fun, pretty well-designed, challenging level.
• I'm always a fan of flying fish in levels like this. It really helps give levels surreal and unnerving quality.
• That overworld was beautiful.

Cons:
• A few of the jumps were a little unfair with the short timing windows on offer.

Comments:
Pros:
• This was a cool concept for a level.

Cons:
• I was really disappointed that the long stretch with Munchers were apparently placed higher than the "raft" meaning you get hurt if you stand on the raft in this section, even though it doesn't seem like it should happen visually.
• The level seemed really short and under-baked. A little more time and development would improve it.

Comments:
Pros:
• What a great use of the original palettes and tilesets to make a uniquely themed level.
• Level design was adequate for an early-game level.

Cons:
• A little more variety could have been added to your level design. It felt a little empty/repetitive in parts.
• The Beach Koopas seemed like an odd fit for the level, but that's just an opinion.

• Some fun, tricky platforming here. Pretty good level-design for a late-game or bonus stage.

Comments:
Pros:
• I thought this level was just difficult enough to be challenging but still somewhat fun.
• Level design was generally well-planned, despite a few rough spots. I liked the echoes of the original game.

Pros:

• The level was well-designed and did a good job of keeping a theme without being repetitive; you iterated your ideas nicely.
• I found the 3-Up Moon!

Cons:
• I had difficulty with the midpoint where you have to spin-jump into the pipe. It seemed like a ramp-up in difficulty that was inconsistent with the rest of the level

Comments:
Pros:

Comments:
Pros:
• Cool placement of Lakitus behind the daikon pillars
• I liked the use of Throw Blocks as an obstacle instead of a tool

Cons:
• I found the flying Lakitu in this level frustrating because its position is y-locked, even though vertical scrolling is on and much of the level takes place with the Lakitu above the line of sight, so you are constantly getting hit by Spinies and Spiny Eggs dropping from off-screen
• The level was short and design felt unfinished or unpolished

• personally, I thought Munchers on top of Clouds was gross, but I can't say why
• some cutoffness in those layer platforms :(

• good secrets (Coin Heaven, cape feather)

Cons:
• level design was a little repetitive
• having one more enemy would have made the level a bit more interesting
• some tough jumps toward the end
• low time limit
• minor quibble - I didn't like the sections where the mines could drift out of the pools

Comments: I LOVED this level. Other than looking a little bit cluttered visually, I found it very well-designed and utilizing gimmicks and combinations that were interesting, novel, and fun.

Comments: I found myself using rewind a lot in this level. I'm open to slippery ice levels, but I found many of the jumps to be overly punishing. I think the level design itself with a few tweaks to be nicer to the player would have made this level much better. I noticed a few blind jumps as well. It really didn't feel as polished as SMW. Your castle background was missing candles. :(

Comments: You use a lot of under-used sprites in this level in interesting combinations, but I don't feel they all work in a player-friendly/fun way. To me, this didn't feel as polished as an SMW level. That said, I ended up liking quite a bit of it. It felt like a good challenging level that is hard enough to be frustrating but not so hard to be impossible.

Comments: A lot of thoughtfulness went into your level design and you combined several different ideas to good effect, but these were undermined by (what I found to be) several unfair jumps that weren't really comparable to core SMW level design. The creativity you displayed, though, made up for some of these shortcomings. The elevator, while creative and cool, utilized "unintended behavior" of SMW layer manipulation. Sprite memory settings crapped out a bit in the first room, and I wish the elevator room could have been H-scroll locked, but I doubt that was possible under this contest. Another reason perhaps to have left it out. The Big Boo Boss fight was cool and theft-worthy. ;)

Comments: This was a very straightforward Ghost House. I think your level would have benefitted from being a bit less linear. The key puzzle was okay but simple. The Bullet Bill stepping-stone into the entrance at the beginning was interesting but didn't seem to fit the rest of the level design. The opaque fog was annoying and tricky to navigate. :(
