So uhh I get DQ'd because I set the time limit one second higher as an joke, even though my level is fairly short and you can 100% it well under 500 seconds? Thats harsh.
And I personally dont get the comments towards not having power ups in last 1/3 of the level, you already have mushroom at that point by default(you cant skip midway point), and if you explore you should have cape+fireflower or mushroom in reserve(and if you explore even more there is mushroom available in the hidden path) so that should be more than enough power ups in one level, plus having either cape or fireflower makes the setups so easy to cheese(by design, if player wants the easy mode Im not gonna stop you) there shouldn't be any complains in my option.
