Hey awesome community!

I have made a Mario Level. It has many aspects of the original game. There is even a Boss fight! ;D
Note: That this level may be hard ^^

Feedback is appreciated!

Click here for my level! (http://lbp.me/v/h69pvp)

Yup pretty decent, the lack of checkpoints is an interesting contention though. I remember playing the first Mario on NES and that's what a death penalty was, it made for some great after school gameplay sessions, a group of friends, pass the controller when you died sort of thing. Death penalties have evolved though, allowing for more complex platforming sections.

Not too sure if it is an endearing quality of retro-gaming though. I do think that while you are very true to the essence of Mario here, it does hurt your game slightly. LBP infinite checkpoints train people to be a little careless, so no checkpoints come as a shock, but if it sits well in the game then OK, and it does the level is not overly long and it all works properly... however not having a life counter sort of works against you here too, because if I die, I get set back but I still have infinite goes, so instead of being a lesson to be more careful it causes you to rush more and make the same mistakes over and over again. Leading to potential frustration.

Two ways to address this I think is to have the lives count down and have no checkpoint, or have some more flags about. Maybe just a 'half way' flag.

Heck, you could do both, even have a selection of 'Old Skool' or Casual at the start, which would give you some checkpoints if the player wants to just wander through you great looking scenery.
