1. Level Ideas

1.1. Galaxy-style gravity changers (?)

Use the underneath slopes block with solid on top blocks
Example:
SMG2 level

1.2. Terrain made of moving blocks

NSMBW/DS Example:
Martboo's level

1.3. Walk on water only level

How
With mini-mario

Examples
NSMB2
beach world level
Newer DS 2-A
Newer DS 3-2

1.4. Beat Block level

What
Changing/swapping blocks or sprites tile behaviour and appearance in time with the music.
How
With event controllers + tile creators, platforms or ! switch block manipulation.

Example
SMG2, SM3DL, SM3DW

1.5. Jump-Switch Platform level

What
Like Beat Block, but switches when the player jumps, not with the music.
How
Using "if" to detect when the player is in the air. More information: Red-Blue Panels

Example
SM3DL, SM3DW

1.6. Tipped-over Tower

What
Tower that tips over when an event is activated, for puzzles and visual effect.
How
Using the rotation used in the final level.

1.7. Water Bubbles

Like in NSMBW but unmoving, using custom tiles with the unused water behaviour.

1.8. Swinging Pole on Line Obstacle Course
