Please don't forget a ton of blind drops, some onto a 1-block wide concrete block, then having the player jump across more blocks like that over the entire level.

Or how about a long, flat level? to show that boring levels are bad?

Hey, I actually need a little help with something. I'm looking for a '?' block that, when hit, crashes the game. Anyone know of such a block?

I need it for my "bad asm" explination. (The player will be forewarned, don't worry.)

maybe you should add some really hard levels to show that these kind of levels (where you have to use tons of save-states) suck.

be sure to make the jumping pirahna plants hurt solid tiles like cement blocks or even munchers to show that they get "stuck" in those tiles and jump right to the sky.

put normal coins over qustion blocks or note blocks to show that an invisible solid block appears when you hit a question/note block from below that has a coin above it.

and about the "crash the game" block: i'm pretty sure Anikiti has one of those in his Mario X World Returns hack, in a cave level of world 7. It is a block that gives you the flashing item that displays a mushroom, a flower, a feather and a star. I'm pretty sure it is in block tool...

I actually have one of these levels planned. The message box explaining why it's bad will include a cheat code to make the section easier.

Make sure you include blocks that are in the bottom row so that the player can't see them, and include gaps that you have to jump over. That's possibly the stupidest level "feature" ever.

But yeah, sounds like a good idea.

Make a really bad, redundant remake level, like SMB 1-1 for example, but just extremely crappy and boring, as are most SMB 1-1 transfers to SMW.

Pshhh...I can do that too, but sadly that's probably the best I can do with the overworld.

Hey does anyone want to lend me a level for my "stealing levels from other hacks is bad" level? It's a mistake that needs to be pointed out. Anyone want to volunteer any of the levels they've made?
