All right. Let's get straight into this.

The first section of this boss was really uninviting. It had music that only would fit for an inside place. In addition, it offered nothing but a door and a question block. You could at least add some clouds and other scenery there. The second section's layout was also bad, because it had nothing. Anyhow, I'm going through this phase-by-phase/form-by-form.

Phase one was incredulously easy. All you had to do was duck to avoid the Bullet Bills. Also, you could break the generator by standing on the pipes, and you could glitch through the pipes as well if you were big and decided to duck, turn around, and let go of the button. (Hope that was explained well enough.)

Phase two offered some difficulty. It was still rather easy to avoid the Rinkas (or, more like it, those things replacing the Rinkas) using some strategies. The main issue with this phase, though, was the black background. What was that all about?

Phase three was impossible. Not even kidding. The bombs were so abrupt and fast and there was no where you could go to be immune to getting hit. And you can glitch through the pipes.

Phase four was difficult, but not impossible. Yeah, that's about all I can say.

Phase five offered an immense challenge and it was - despite the simple layout - probably my favorite form. The black background kinda ruined it though.

In phase six, you messed up the generators to where the Bullet Bills only came out of the pipes once. Also, you can glitch through the pipes.

If phase seven had one more Rinka, I'd say it's impossible. That's about all I can say here.

Phase eight was just a jumbled up mess. It had a bunch of sloppy bomb and Bullet Bill generators, and some extra Rinkas to make this harder than it even already is.

Phase nine sucked, really. You could glitch through the pipes, you could mess up the Bullet Bill generator by standing on the pipes, and on top of that, this phase's Bullet Bills were extremely hard to avoid.

Phase ten - gah. Didn't really like it. It was like a copy of phase five. It also had that black background which didn't fit well whatsoever.

Phase eleven was disappointing for a final phase. You could have made it more intense, honestly. One more thing - on phase eleven's event, you forgot to put "form 10" under "Hide Layers". Otherwise form 10 and form 11 are overlapping with each other. I won't take much points off for this, though, because this may have been intentional.

In all, I'd say this deserves a 3.5. Pretty disappointing boss if you ask me but still not trashcan-worthy because I can see you put lots of effort into this.

Yeah, i can find the main problem on your level: You don't test it.

I'm pretty sure that you doesn't test it. Because if you tested you changed so much things. There is my review:

Miles Troopa's Review-Smith Face by MyNameisEric52

Gameplay (4.5/10): C'mon, you really think that someone go beat that? I'm not exaggerating, this is a really impossible level. The only way to be possible is putting at least a Tanooki power-up before form 11. In form 1, is possible be glitched be under the left bottom pipe. When form 2 come, you be "jailed" until die. Form 2 is possible beat, but requires a little skill. In Form 3, you can be safe jumping in some pipe and jumping to not be shoot by the bombs. Form 4 now requires a super skill to be beaten, but is not impossible. Form 5 as the same difficult from the 2. In Form 6, you can perform the same trick at Form 1, and be safe in some of space of the pipes. In form 7, is more harder than Form 5 and form 1. Since you are in top of the right bullet bill cannon in form 8, you go be safe in form 9. How Kep said, form 10 is a Copy and Paste of form 5. And to finalize, form 11. Oh god, form 11. Man, make a error like this is fatal in Episodes. I'm pretty sure that you doesn't want that form 10 and form 11 are in the same form, because this means that this form is impossible. Also, Make a jump before form 11 make the form more easy from a last form. So, when you beat all this, you get the star. This level is hard, and form 11 is impossible.

Graphics (6/10): Since you doesn't so much custom graphics, it's okay. But the problem is make a level with unfitting graphics. When you are in first section, you wait enter in castle or a room, but is a open section. No, it's okay, but the background makes a bad impression. Also, there is not so much backgrounds. I know, boss fights doesn't need of backgrounds, but i think that this need.

Layers and Events (7/10): At least you make good use of events and layers. But a thing that make you lose points it's the form 10 and 11 in the same time, that makes the possibility to be impossible.

Music (7/10): I doesn't see error. This is a good music for a boss fight, but doesn't fit with the background.

TOTAL (6,125/10): This is a level good for skilled and pro players and who doesn't cares so much to graphics. Well, 6,125 isn't a bad note at all.
