These are 25 things that will make your hack boring, annoying, and stupid. If you have any of these things in your hack, fix them as soon as possible.
25.Setting the time to high or low
Nobody likes to rush through levels. A time limit too low makes it so that you cannot
The only time your time should be low is in a level where that is the main gimmick.
But setting the time limit too high turns a platforming adventure into a leisurely stroll. And that is only good for areas that are not intended to be challenging, like yoshi's house or peach's castle. Usually, the right time limit is your average time plus 100, according to the tip bar.
24. Needing a P-switch or spring board in a place far away from the original area that it was in.
This makes the player have to backtrack, or even redo the level. It is only a good idea for hiding secrets. Even telling the person in advance can still make them have to backtrack, so never do this.
[I will continue to work on this periodically until I get to one]
When you use binary as a level, nobody knows what level you are! *laughs manically*
25.Setting the time to high or low
Nobody likes to rush through levels. A time limit too low makes it so that you cannot

- get all yoshi coins
- let off the run key at all or very often (hand cramps)
- not feel all rushed
