I don't see any kind of problem here. Your evidence is quite unconvincing.

Starting with the ground: look at the grass portion, firstly. You'll notice a big difference (frankly, DeeY's sprite is much smoother). He would've had to remove a decent amount of detail if this were simply an edit. It's missing the dots in the ground and has extra stripes, too.
The mushrooms: again, big difference. They're shaped differently. They're not even the same colors. How many ways is it possible to sprite a mushroom, anyway?
The pipe: the lines are different, the colors are different, the shading is different. What's similar? The fact that a two-tile-wide pipe is 32 pixels wide? By that logic, every other custom pipe is also stolen.
The powerups: his is missing one of DeeY's, and DeeY is missing three of his. Plus, his all appear to have been sprited by himself. There's really no similarities other than those you'll find in everyone else who has ever attempted to sprite those powerups.
The mushroom platforms: Are they similar? Yeah. Are they identical? Well, let's look (DeeY's on the bottom):

No. They're not colored the same, they're not structured the same, they're just similar. His sheet is also missing one of DeeY's colors.
