So I have to commend you on making a level like this. I haven't seen too many fast autoscroll levels such as this on here, so it's a different change of pace from the standard levels.
Anyway you do a great job developing the typical World 1 atmosphere and all the visuals look excellent. The music is a little odd, but it fits the level very well with its fast pace theme. NPC placement was pretty good with exception to the paratroopa under the blocks for it's redundant placement having it there. Another kinda unfair placement is with a green koopa that's really close to the ? blocks and bricks. This gives the player minimal time to react and jump correctly past it, so I recommend giving it a little space between the blocks and the koopa. The autoscroll speed is rarely an issue, but it's bad for characters like Toad and Luigi who can't collect the coins they hit out of the blocks. The first little hidden path with the fire flower is also pretty difficult to get to. Instead of making it difficult to reach, it would be better off as something vigilant players can reach with a little more ease considering the path is slightly hidden in the first place for blending with the blocks, so you don't want to over do it. Despite these minor timing issues, I really had a good time playing this level. For being a short level, it's a good length to where I don't feel like the level was a cop out or made quickly in general. The autoscroll speed again was good and it's fun trying to speed through all of the obstacles in general. Overall I think this is a well designed level; it's simple in design, but the final product flows so well in the end.
I want to see you make a series on this with all different level themes and such. You could probably make your own mini episode just with these levels. If you do you definitely have my support. So great work overall.
