That's not what clash is. Clash is when at least two graphics are in a vicinity of each other and aren't compatible. Just because the level is predominately SMB3-styled and the Big Boo is from SMW, it doesn't mean they clash. In fact, they go very well together considering the environment of this level.

Anyway, I played the level, and I noticed some oddities. First off, there are only four Dragon Coins as opposed to the expected five, and the random Bullet Bills at the start of the level are out-of-place and shouldn't really belong, especially in an environment like this.

I know, but just recoulouring a bit the big boo to fit more.

I disagree. Enemies should stand out from their environment unless there is a good reason for them to blend in, like a gimmick.

Maybe, but the problem is not the environnement, but the game artwork (in this case, smw in smb3, even if, I admit, I don't really care). Also, a gimmick cannot be applied to something too simple like an ennemie.

What I meant to say is that SMB3 and SMW do fit in this case.
