I like the look of this so far.
However, my only two (personal) issues with it are:
1. The background. I don't know why, but something seems wrong about how it's set out and how it scrolls. Maybe it's the way the two BG layers are set up, it just seems a bit disorientating.
2. Wall kicks.
I'm going to take a lot of hell for the latter criticism, but... I've pretty much never seen wall kicking mechanics used well in a 2D Mario fan game. I've played what seems like hundreds of Mario hacks with it, and a fair few fan games too. Almost all of them seem to have the mechanic be annoying as hell to pull off.
But maybe I'll change my mind when I actually get to play it.
That said, most of the graphics used do look nice. So well done to Mit for drawing them.
