I figured that out when only one guy played my level but had a 33% clear rate. The low number now makes sense because someone can still beat the level but die once or twice.
Oh, I didn't expect you to play both of the levels I PMed. It was interesting watching you play Bowser or B.Junior. It made me realize the tediousness of bombing those walls. I got pretty good at it in testing the stage, but most people going into it aren't going to be placing every bomb so that it blows up blocks. The walls could stand to be thinner for sure. The "fight" against Bowser is pretty much straight out of the end of SMB3, except he sometimes likes to pick a random spot to butt stomp instead in this version. Thanks for giving those levels a shot.
Bowser's Great Galoomba Factory
(2380-0000-0041-7C93)
Not exactly a difficult level, just played around with an idea I had. What if the goombas and galoombas Bowser employs are actually just mushrooms that have been chopped up in some kind of factory?
People making mistakes because they're rushing isn't my fault when I give you full view of each obstacle in time. The tension of being fast but not fucking up is the entire point. I think the only thing I could change there is the bouncing on the goomba over the enemies bit. You need to get the point there right away which I guess some people might not. Everything else before the warp pipe is pretty obvious what jumps are required. At the most I could put some more trails of coins in there before certain jumps. Maybe I could take out the piranha plant.
Yeah I'm sorry. It's just really frustrating. I'm trying to figure out what I should have done.
I just played your level, the idea is neat, but it has some flaws...
- There are too many things going on, so sometimes it´s difficult to know exactly where you have to go. I understand the intent of making it look like a busy factory, but you need to keep those things away from the player´s path unless he can use them. The level is quite short, you could expand it and use more area to show everything more clearly.
- Get rid of the sound effect in the Goombas.
- There were some points where I got killed the first time and I couldn´t do anything about it: once after taking the conveyor belt it launched me into the springs and a Goomba fell on me. There were so many things there I couldn´t understand if I had to use the springs to go up, the conveyor to go left or what...Also, once I left the moving platform a Goomba killed me from below from what should´ve been a safe position, you should adjust that a little.
- The cloud at the end doesn´t add anything, it felt totally out of place.
- The arrow at the end pointing away from the goal..why did you put that there? I tried following it once with the cloud but, again, couldn´t find a clear path or anything the arrow was reffering to. The arrow was pointing me away from the goal so I was awaiting a big surprise and was disapointed when I couldn´t find anything worth it.
Don´t get me wrong, it´s not a bad level (if I sound harsh please excuse me as English isn´t my main language; it´s not my intention). I think the idea behind it is really cool and I love how you used Bowser, it´s the first time I´ve seen him been used in a cool way: he is a menace and you must pay attention to him, but he´s manageable while you navigate around the level. He helps keep the tension up.
Hope my comments help
And that's what the constructive feedback is for. Move on, harness your passion, and make an even better stage now, armed with the feedback of actual players (remember, the creator doesn't count as a player)!
You know I hadn't actually seen that stage in a couple years. There's less memorization than I remember. I juzt assumed there was because I remember dying on it a lot. Yeah I was talking out of my ass because I'm upset. I apologise. Watching that actually does put things in perspective. I should have gone with less enemy or death trap related obstacles and more momentum based platforming.

Feels like a nice 1-1 for Mario. No need for pace or jumps, but there's a couple of places for an advanced user to get to.
Decided to do quite a traditional level, so a couple of tricky jumps but nothing insane!

Any feedback welcome, know the fire flower near the end of the main path is kinda pointless, thought I had more space
Re put up the Mario World level Castle or Airship now I have coins. It's hard, but as a warning, castle path is easier

I have made two levels now, I would appreciate if people try them. I have psoted the first one here earlier, but since the second is now ready, I'll post both together again.
Both levels are "100 coin-challanges" aka. there are 100 coins scattered throughout the level. Getting to finish in both of the levels is very easy, but the real challange comes from trying to gather all coins that require some precise platforming to do.
Can you find all 100 coins?
ID: 5518-0000-0036-4818
Notes: The first level of the two. Uses only Level-1 creative tools so it's pretty barebones in some aspects. The level requires you to use most of Mario's moveset from NSMB.
Can you find all 100 Lava Coins?
ID: 46BD-0000-0041-BB41
Notes: The second level, and the one that had more thought and time spent on it. Has more tools used in it, so it has bit more complex challanges in it. Finding all 100 coins is still your objective..
Let us rate levels using one out of four stars or a thumbs or thumbs down. I'm already tired of the usual offenders of crappy levels.
Here is my attempt to create a cool ghost house. With the limited amount of doors, the ground block limit and all the missing cool SMW ghost house pieces it's quite difficult to create something fun here. Would like to get some feedback.

The ghosts are having a party in this haunted mansion. A twisted medium-hard difficulty course with multiple paths, shortcuts and secrets to find.
