Difficulty 2/10
Time it to me to be it: 15 minutes
Overall Score: C-

At first I really liked this world. The author spent time on graphics and as a result that world had a nice feel to it. Then however, the level managed to hit both of my “Mario” pet peeves which led of course to the row rating. They are:

1) One of the levels is pure darkness, you can't see the block or the pits. This causes the level to be far more luck than skill.

2) It is possible to stuck in a place where you can't kill yourself but you can't get out either. As a result you have to quick the game completely and start over. This is especially frustrating on the dark level where you can't see ahead of time that you might get stuck, I ended up having to quit and restart 3 times because of this problem.

If the author fixed these problems this would become a lovely level, suited mostly for beginners due to its high number of mushrooms.

Difficulty: Can I play, Daddy? ¼
Times I died: 1
Levels: 8
Fun: 6/10
Rating: 5/10

I couldn't help but give “Al’s World” the lowest difficulty rating. There were a lot of enemies and such, but not a lot of them were in the path “Mario” was going to take, or they were just plain easy to beat. The whole world just went by too quickly and was too easy to make it any fun at all. The lack of “Bowser” kind of took away from the world as well. Considering I only died once and that it was in a "dark" level where you can't tell where pits and stuff are, I thought the world was just too easy. However the scenery was well done in places. There is also a shortcut on the top route on one of the levels. Oh, and he swears at you on the end message! :-)
