Originally posted by S.N.N.I can see what you mean with the midway. It favors the end of the level moreso than the middle. The best place for it might be directly before the Fishin' Boo, since I don't think extending the level would be a very wise option.
Yeah. One the one hand: directly before Fishin' Boo seems like a REALLY bad idea, since that's only, what, 6 screens or so into the level? ._. That seems too early for me. But where it is now, it's TOO LATE into the level...and there's no middle ground because of the Fishin' Boo...

It's a good level overall, but it's a little disappointing to see that you didn't do a lot with the flowers aside from using them as platforms.
I was going to have them be used as scale platforms in some places, but if you make them despawn before they return to their original positions, their edits to the tiles will be permanent. It's not good at all, so I had to ditch them. And I had such good ideas for it... This is easily seen at the third SMWCoin, where I originally intended for people to get to it with a little scale platform trickery. I also intended the last part of the fishin' boo section to use them, but, again, I intended for people to backtrack to get the second SMWCoin, which would raise issues with the scales... They're built for autoscroll levels ONLY, unfortunately. (Now, if I had a version of them that fixed this issue without making them never despawn, I'd gladly redo parts of my level to deal with this!)

This is sort of blind. Even with the Boo ring there, it's not overly obvious that you can go down here.
Hmm... Well, I don't want to just put coins there, since that would make it too obvious. Any suggestions?

Dropping from here is also incredibly blind. There is no indication where the platforms are below you, and since they're narrow to begin with, it's easy to fall into a pit and die.
The intention was that you'd see the safe spot when going up there. (Then again, the coin's probably too easy to find; you see a path up there anyways...)

Those Eeries pose no threat.
Not sure what to do about that. Those eeries aren't meant to be a threat later on to the right, not appearing right there. but because I have you weave back and forth between the trees... :/ These Boo Rings are getting on my nerves. I'd really much rather be using Big Boos WITH the Boo Rings, but because I'm using Boo Rings AT ALL, I can't, because they mess up when I use sprite memory setting 10 for NSTL. I think someone's working on a version that works with Boo Rings, though. Not sure.

By the way, are you considering using Red Chameleon's track that he made for this level? I think it would fit really nicely.
Maybe. To be honest, I don't really like it that much. Also, I forgot to mention, Floral Fears still isn't a final name for it; unless I can get a way to use the scale platforms without any issues, I'm probably not going to use it because it doesn't fit with the overall theme, which DOESN'T rely on the flowers much.
