Design- The levels design was a bit bland. It was pretty much just flat, and you couldn't really move at all once the train started going too fast. I was bound to the same train cart. It got really aggravating when trying to jump to another kart but Mario didn't seem to have enough momentum to press further. Also, for some reason, any time I tried talking to peach in the beginning, the game would crash. Hmm... Enemy placement was kind of really aggravating because at my position on the train, they all jump on abruptly and land like, right next to me, and it was very hard to dodge. I was upset when I couldn't get my item to drop when I was on the train whilst it moved
It just kind of floated away . . .
Scenery- Scenery was okay. There could ave been a lot more scenery to be honest. You know just to brighten up the level, considering I' pretty much bound to a moving object, so I'd like something pretty to look at. The scenery that WAS there however was a it creative, but way to much clashing of all different types of graphics for my liking. The train didn't look too bad, and I can see where you tried to be creative with the scenery you pass by on the train. Section 2 and 3 of the level could have been way more vibrant in my opinion. Very bland.
Replay Value- The replay value I must say, contrary to what you'd think, is average. I'd give this level a go again if it weren't the for the aggravating quirks mentioned above. This level as actually very unique, and I like how you took advantage of the moving layers. You took one thing and took it to a whole new level, and I really liked that.
Misc- The custom gfx weren't so bad, such as the train, the wheels, and the tracks, but all of the areas that had clashing blocks, could/should have been replaced with some custom gfx tat would have been more appropriate for what you trying to attempt rather than trying to meander your way through it using the graphics the game has. The song was amazing and I really loved it! I would really like to know where it is from, because I really did like it. I didn't like the Peach sprite too much either to be honest. I think her regular gfx would have been just fine.
PROS:
-Cool song
-Decent custom gfx (or what there was of)
-Unique story/attempt at something new
-Decent length
CONS:
-No checkpoint
-Too many power-ups i the beginning. 1 or 2 could have been fine. Also, pointless power-ups at the end?
-Not too mobile once on the train (Ironically)
-Annoying enemy placement
-TOO MUCH CLASHING =/
-Needs more scenery
5/10
MOVED TO AVERAGE.
