*CUTOFF*

I don't think that this looks too good. Try playing some other Episodes first for a general idea on how to make a good and memorable level.

That's all one level?

Epoch, don't panic....and you're Nordic59. Don't put too many elements in one level. Three is ENOUGH.

*hurling right about now*
On topic, this is much different than what I'm used to. My suggestion is, based on screenshots, stay with SMB3 graphics, and use SMB3 exit. Also, custom graphics with custom attacks generally goes to LunaDLL. Your computer would mark it as a virus, though, like everyone else's computers.
Also, fill empty spaces.

Not everyone can use Lunadll. But, I encourage to mix level styles like a SMB3 level followed by a SMW level.

yes im not gonna put many elements in one level but in one level it is supposed to have many goombas.but yes i will not add many elements into one level

This doesn't look very good. There a lot of bland screenshots, lack of coins in some, lack of NPCs in others and one doesn't even have a background. As Epoch said, try to play some other episodes to have an idea of a good level.

yes i know i will fix that,dont worry. its only that that one section with no background is supposed to be so beacuse it is a easter egg.if you wonder "what kind of easter egg?" well when the episode is done then you can see what it is for easter egg.

or at least i will fix some problems and stuff not all but some problems that has to be fixed.

Okay, for starters, there are quite a bit of cutoffs, please cap your tiles and make sure nothing looks choppy. Another thing I noticed was the flatness. Flat levels tend to be not as appealing, so make your terrain more appealing. Flatness tnds to make levels feel more bland than it actually is. NPCs were not placed very effectively, and even then, you mixed SMB1 and SMB3 NPCs together, which generally isn't a good thing. The sizeable block overuse in the first screenie looked odd and unfitting, and the coins weren't placed very good either. Lastly, there should be scenery in levels. I noticed this in your screenies, and the one that DID have scenery had badly placed bushes.

The project does have potential, but please take my advice into consideration.

well could somebody tell how to do a boss drop

well what is lunadll. and why do you neeed it to get custom graphics

You don't need the code to make and use custom graphics, just for advanced functions that SMBX can't do, like a timer, or disabling spin-jump.
