Oh,there isn't a castle in you level. There are some suggestions to make your level better.
The warp pipe shouldn't have put on the tipping log.
And you X level size is too big,you didn't make your level long enough so 199 X length is too big.
There are TOO MANY ENEMIES in your level. That makes the level much laggy.
For I am a old player, the cannon above the water is unnecessary.I can use the Bullet Bills to reach the higher platform.
The tiling is not good. Try to use corner tiles You use only sands to make a room which was full of flame towers.It is not beautiful in a level.
Last,you can push"Ctrl" to suap the items into 8*8 grid.That can make the items more orderly.
Sorry for rating 1/5 star,hope you can do better as the suggestions I told you.And,hope your next level!

I'm s Minecraft noob so don't laugh at me...

-----My profile ( It seems unnecessary )-----My level collections-----
Old sigbar: show

JPG :rarrow: update! :rarrow: GIF!
My rating standards: show
I have rated so many levels but I didn't obey any rules. Here is my own rating standard. ( New judging standards! )



I'll give each level an unoffical overview with 100 points in total.



1.Level Quality: (25/100 points): Include level diffculty, graphics and the designing of the level. If a level is so hard or laggy that I can't pass this star will immediately be lost. And if a level is so easy that I can EASILY pass it, I'll cost scores according to the circumstances.
How to judge if a level is laggy:

FPS: 26+: Good.

FPS: 20-26: Not very good, but it can be accepted.

FPS: 14-20: Bad.
FPS: 14-: Terrible, I can't stand!

Here is a tutorial that can prevent a "laggy" level:Why is a Level Laggy?
Tutorial that can make better text in LD: Coming Soon!



2.In-game playing: (45/100 points): Include level decoration, the use of tiles. And if this level is interesting, fascinating and chellenging, etc.



3.Other (30/100 points): Mistakes, bugs and warm tips. If there is any bugs that can't let me pass the level, I'll reduce a lot of points..



Final rating:
0-29 = 1 star
25-59 = 2 stars

60-74 = 3 stars
75-84 = 4 stars
85-100 = 5 stars



I'll continue updating these rules and I'll use these rules to rate levels.

Immediately, seeing the two pipes with no other options was automatically a 1/5 star. I hate playing the game of pick-a-pipe, and the other qualities of the level don't do it any favors, but they've mostly been mentioned before. Sorry to be so harsh, but I just feel very strongly about my ratings.
Might be ready in a bit.

I have already given this 1 star as well, sorry about that. But I thought I'll post something too.
There's just lots of issues here, apart from the reasons already mentioned above, I've found the level's structure to be confusing and misleading. It isn't clear where you were supposed to go at all, such as the first cannon, and right after collecting the invisibility star power-up. You could've used a trail of coins, or signs, or arrows.

Near the beginning, it's frustrating when all I did was enter what seems like the only pipe that'll lead somewhere, and then instant-death happens.
The switch bridge isn't needed either, since Mario can reach the platform just from the water below.
And then there's the typical enemy spam at the end. Always avoid enemy spam because lots of enemies != hard. Lots of enemies == laggy and easy.
