My first level! As you might be able to tell by the title, it's an uninteresting athletic level.

Feedback/reviews would be greatly appreciated!

It's nice to see that you've begun creating and submitting levels so quickly. As for the level, it's relatively nice. The first thing that struck me about it was that it had a very Mario game feel to it, which is by no means a bad thing. The first section definitely felt like something right out of World 1 from an NES classic. The level design was not bad. It was quite linear, but again, it matches up with the classics. One often finds that SMBX levels tend to be longer and less linear. As for the aesthetic, it certainly matched up with the theme you were going for. However, I strongly suggest you begin (if you haven't already) exploring custom elements, such as graphics and music. It was an enjoyable level, but it would have been much more fun with bright, unique graphics. The default graphics you utilized were fine and fit the theme, while packing relatively minimal clash. Anyway, you're off to a good start and I look forward to seeing your creations in the future. Cheers.

Thank you for the review! This level was pretty much the first time I even tried using the editor, so I decided to go with a pretty bare-bones approach(still trying to figure out events and layers). However, now that I have some proficiency with the editor,my next levels will definitely be a bit more interesting visually and physically.

I'll be reviewing this later on.

This is another short, easy level. There really isn't much to say about it other than that, honestly...

Well, I can say that the positions of some of the Para-Koopas were annoying since they'd fly right in front of next platform, forcing me to wait (though, admittedly, it wasn't that long of a wait). Also, the midpoint is just sorta there. It's not even sprite-swapped or anything, nor does it have the SMW posts to hold it up, and it just looks awkward. Speaking of awkward looks, you shouldn't put the large SMW bush on a row of single-tile clouds.

Anyway, I'd say that this deserves a 4.5/10 since it's nothing more than an average level.
