Alrighty I tested it out, and so far it's actually pretty good. I do have some comments though.

-The music
When you die in the level, the music stops playing. Even when I try to go back to the level the music does not play.

Also when I get on the flag pole the "flag pole music" stops playing as soon as I get inside the home

-Lagging on first level
The first level lags alot compared to the others. I think it's because of the parallax you have scrolling in the background. when I played the other levels, they ran 100% smooth clean because they didn't have any scrolling Backgrounds.

-The mushroom place
lol I dont know what was up with this place. It had like 50 goombas.

-THE CASTLE LEVEL
lol what on earth was with that place? I shot one fireball, and ran straight for 30 seconds and the fireball killed "something", and the level was over.

That's all I have for now. Good job so far.

Music:
Hrm... The Music not Playing Shouldn't happen, and the Flagpole Music thing is supposed to happen while the Timer Counts down. XD

First Level Lagging:
Weird, it doesn't Lag on my Computer. And every Level is supposed to have a Scrolling Background. Weird... <.<

Mushroom Place:
That is the Mushroom House, and it is a Life Level for if u r Ever Stuck and need Extra Lives or a Power Up from the Boxes at the Beginning.

Castle Level:
That "Something" was the Meteor from the Cutscene. XD It's a Subspace Meteor, if u destroy it, Subspace Takes Over, but if u don't destroy it, It'll call for more Subspace Meteors to Destroy the Earth. Kinda like an UFO. XD

Thanks for your Comments Kirbyhi5!

OK, this Thread is Dead, so Bump, and also, the Game is making slow Progress Recently due to a Worm that has Taken over my Computer. <.< When the Worm uis gone, I shall begin work again.

The gameplay is too slidy for Mario. I dunno, everything seems slippery. Plus.. it took like 15 seconds to get from one end of the pipe to the other. it should be almost instant.

Slippery, you say? I'll try to increase the friction, but the UME is so complicated in the movement section, that it might take a while. I'll increase the Speeed of Pipe Travel. Thanks for your Comments!

No problem, man.

Level design is amazingly bland and you're way too generous with extra lives.

I agree with UM

Same.

All I can say is that I wasn't really pleased.

K, I shall reduce Extra Lives and *try* to increase level quality. Thing is, I'm terrible at Level Design. XD

<.< I'm trying. If u have suggestions for making my Levels better, please submit them.

:| What was it that u didn't like, and how can i make it better? Kirbyhi5 Gave a Perfect Example of a Review.

Remember, practice makes perfect.

Looking here likely helps (be sure to read the later posts as well). The quide is old, but it's still very handy.

OK, Thanks!

Updated with new Map and New File Types! Old Files won't work!

Nearly 1 Month Bump. <.< I am waiting for assistance in this Thread: http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=204909

KEEPIN' THE THREAD ALIVE BABY!!!

Anyway, It's good for a start. My first attempt at a platform game was worse.

Thanks! I'm having a few difficulties, so I'm switching over to Hello Engine 3.

Have you noticed the music speedup thing? After the Meteor Crash stage (when the music forcibly speeds up), all the music from then on is a bit faster. Might've just been a one-time glitch, but still weird.

Also, my big problem is that I have no idea what's going on. I can tell there's a plot, just not what it is.

EDIT: Oh, and if you beat a castle stage, then replay it and lose, you still get a chance to re-save your game. That might be a problem with the UME map more than anything.
