Thanks to buziol for that grass template but i made that grass myself somehow i did the exact same thing. NOTE: Not all tiles are in smb1 style. There are smb1 recolered. And in the level there is no koopa at start.

1. There are way toooooooo many of the smb3 bomb npc, they are like the entirety of this level every new ground has 1-3 of them
2. The hidden block can result into an unfair hit by one of the bombs. Not good
3. The Koopa at the start isn't another good thing. If the player happens to be away or not reacting fast enough they get killed from it.
4. There are places which i think have toooooo many bgos. Sure bgos make a level look nicer but overdoing them does not.
5. If you attempted to make this as short as the 1-1 smb1 level, why did you use the nsmb overworld theme and not the smb1 theme? And why does the level end with the smb3 dungeon exit?
6. The Boss fight has probably no effort actually. It looks like you slammed those bricks down there, placed boom-boom and added side walls so he can't jump out but he gets stuck on both sides and you can easily hit him.
7. Idk what you did to the fill tile and the side ones. They look kinda strange and idr the smb1 ones looking like that. Might suggest using those by Valtteri or Sed.
I suggest also, checking the levels in the pretty good section, checking some level design tips and other good topics that help improving on making levels. Idk if you actually take any of the critic you get from the other levels you made. To me it looks you don't bc all of them have the same errors again.
I wouldn't necessarily say that this is a bad level but I think the level needs to be a little bit longer, also try to place less enemies in a small place
Ones that say the smb1 tiles are strange is that i just dont wanna use better ones and i had no idea how it looks officaly but i dont care its strange btw i cant replace that bug with smb3 ending sound.
Uff... i was not talking about the sound again. I was talking about how the level ends.
It doesn't make any sense to me that you suddenly end up fighting boom-boom when you can actually end the level like it did in smb1 or use the standard smb3 exit then.

Hmm.. It all gets fixed in fixed version!
Plus i really tryed my best to do by recoloering boom-boom into smb1 pallete and the smb3 boss exit into smb1 pallete and it isn't well.

Did you use Paint.net or just normal Paint. You should use Paint.net for recoloring

I used paint.net! And the recoler tool is helping me alot. BTW! The fully fixed version is out! Fixed the koopa at start which wouldn't kill people that aren't fast enough.
I though that this level was pretty good!
If this is supposed to be a 1-1 level though, maybe remove the koopa jumping section.

I will make a episode that will have this level but it would be like 2-1 or 3-1 and the koopa jumping section will not be removed but anyway thanks for positive feedback! Or maybe i will later just remove the koopa jumping section. (Video works for me.)
This level is short. It has three sections, which first one is the main section, while the other ones are nothing special (second is somewhat bonus section and third section leads you to secret goal). Although using invisible note blocks to the secret goal was kinda neat, the level still lacks length and creativity. The design is very linear and it uses 'jump over everything' in most parts. The SMB1 fill tile is really strange, like others said, you should use a better fill tile by someone so the player won't be bothered by that tile. The koopa jumping wasn't that creative in my opinion, while the two koopas can be seen while playing, the other two were in offscreen, so for the first try, when the player jumps on the first ones, in the next screen, it can most likely see the other two unexpectedly and fall into the pit.
I have nothing to say more about this, since it's short. You should extend it to 4 minutes of gameplay, but don't make it boring and extremely linear as hell in my opinion. For aesthetics, I suggest replacing the fill tile and add some pipes and probably more scenery.

I accutally love making short levels and i allways use what i have. And i'm going to make a better version of that grass fill in graphics forum (Or maybe not).
