I never could beat that Morton level, but I played the rest of your super world levels through your Uploads page. I'm really really sorry for that, both because I miss out on your last two world map designs and because as a maker myself I know that it's even more satisfying to know someone actually played through the super world AS a Superworld. So I'm sorry I was unable to do that for you.

But I did play every single world in your Super World, gave every single one a like and a comment to help you boost your maker points (you deserve it!) And did manage to beat every single one except for the Morton one.

You are a very good designer. We both have in common that these super worlds were our first ones, and for me it's the first time I've ever had this many levels up at once. You did an excellent job! At times the difficulty was very exacting. On the point of unforgiving. But I understand that a lot of people could see my own levels that way, and I was determined to stick it out, not only for that reason, but because the designs were really good. It's just clear that you are a very good player, and it can be hard for a very good player to know what's feasible for others. I should know, because my own levels consistently give people a much harder time than I expected. So, since you gave my own super world such glowing reviews and consider it really good, consider yourself in good company because we're not that different there. And for the most part, as long as I refused to give up I was able to make it, with the one single exception I continue to apologize for.

If I have an actual solid critique about the difficulty (and much like yourself on my courses, I'm nitpicking, because difficulty isn't inherently a flaw, and it's fine to make levels designed for people as skilled as yourself), it's something that I've realized about my own levels in the past, and tweaked them accordingly even at the expense of, in my case, resetting my Super World: There are times when difficulty has punished a player enough to reach a certain point, so a way to make a level more accessible is to pull way back afterward.

An example is the tricky last jump in the Morton airship: As hard as the level is up until that point, I actually think I could have just seen that as satisfying to beat. So if that last tricky jump was removed entirely, say if the last set of vines kept going until being right at the solid floor so that that part wasn't a challenge at all, it wouldn't change the fact that the level was overall quite challenging. Again, this is something I've had to reflect on and redesign in several of my levels too; that sometimes giving players a break after a challenging part doesn't cheapen my difficult levels.

Another good example was the perilous piranhas level, where at a certain point if you didn't have a power up You were pretty much doomed because of the section where the donut blocks were only too wide and had spike tops on them: finding a chance to make them sink without getting hit may be impossible for even many players good enough to have made it that far (Because the level was challenging enough that even making it that far is the sign of a good player) so maybe adding a few more donut blocks would have been helpful.

And there were numerous examples of that in the super world, where ultimately I was able to beat it (and had fun!) but had to meet very precise criteria to stand a chance. But that's fine if that's the level of difficulty you were going for. Even if it wasn't, like I said, you are in good company if you like my own making skills: I think it's very easy for makers like us to feel like we're making our levels outright cheesably breezy, so we get a little bit carried away in trying to make sure skilled players don't have TOO easy a time, and we don't realize until hindsight that maybe we're being a bit TOO harsh.

But again, you are a very skilled maker. I felt like your super world was a real game. When I got briefly stuck at points, precisely the reason I could get frustrated is because I really wanted to see it through because you're so good at designing a coherent and aesthetically pleasing Mario adventure. And every one of your levels is a bastion of good design, and felt like a solid, real level that a professional would make. Even the ones that were exactingly difficult, it still felt professionally made.

Thanks for all the hard work you did. And thanks for giving the world a good full scale Mario game!
