Good idea for the theme, the control are intuitive and handle very quite similar to actual mario (as far as I can remember). The levels are clearly designed with the death mechanic in mind. The art is good but to improve mario, I'd say to either have an outline all the way around him or none at all, since having half and half is inconsistent. I couldn't get past the checkpoint next to the pink tree as the jump was to high and I couldn't figure out how to die up there. Anyway great job on this game it was very fun :)
