This hack bends or breaks a couple of the core values:

The hack has enough time of gameplay per single run (generally, a hack of 2 short levels is not enough, though story and cutscenes will be taken into account)


The first level is of substantial length, though there are some concerns with the screen not scrolling for the opening jumps off the ball-and-chains. After this though, the Yellow Switch Palace and the final level are both significantly shorter. I recommend both expanding the second and third levels, but also cleaning up/revising the first level.

Clean use of graphics (e.g. avoiding 'cutoff', 'glitched sprites', and 'background garbage')


The biggest issue here is the event when you complete the first level includes a lot of layer 1 background garbage from the vanilla game. You can either delete that or change the event that the level activates upon clear.


As a side note, it was a little confusing to find the Yellow Switch Palace, as I don't believe a level clear event directly activated the path? I could be wrong on that, but it would help either to make the overworld pathing more evident or to make each even take Mario to the next level on the overworld.
