This hack, actually, was very nice. However, it had a few minor flaws that while don't break the game are easy to fix and seriously increase gameplay.
These dirt tiles made the goombas float (?)
This level was a autoscroll with a bunch of fish for a lot of screens. Pretty boring.
The real error was that you made this level a water level by accident.
So just fix up those errors and I hope for a resubmittal!
OH! It was removed the day before it was resubmitted. That must be why it seems so familiar.
Anyway, all of the same problems, and more, are still here. Don't resubmit your hack until you've corrected everything that is wrong with it.
Sadly, failure to correct suggested changes before resubmitting a hack equals an automatic 24-hour ban. While it might seem harsh, it's sometimes the only thing that makes a person learn.
And learning is FUNdamental!
Exhibit A:
When you hit P-Switches, it turns Blue Coins into purple-y blocks that are still collectable like coins. Just use normal coins in levels with P-Switches.
Blarrg is puking garbage all over the OW. You just need to make sure you remove all extraneous events.
Non-water level is still a water level.
Not a reason for removal, but this IS a continuity issue with the other games - these Thwimps are stompable.
Not a reason for removal, but Mario walks into the edge of the screen at the end of all of your levels. That's just not very aesthetically pleasing.
This hack does not meet the following Hack Submission Guidelines:
3. No graphical glitches!
Errors such as garbled sprites/FGs/BGs, message box text screwing up layer 3 items, cutoff tiles, and general graphical ugliness are frowned upon. Also, don't forget about glitches such as sprite memory issues - the graphics of the sprite will 'disappear', but the sprite will still be there, and can unfairly hurt Mario.
7b) The player should be able to identify everything's behavior before touching it. The player should not have to do something illogical, like jump in lava, to complete a puzzle. If something acts "unusual", inform the player ahead of time.
[?] Miscellaneous Helpful Hints
If I moderated your hack, there was apparently a 90 percent chance it was rejected.
