perhaps? i think it must be - the sproingy things and the trampoline. the brown background looks like bark. and all the other vertical worlds have different mechanics (netting, lifts, falling)

just reading the description this is the one I thought of. one of the few SMBW levels I still remember!!

six golden coins always jumps out to me because six is not the number that is used for things like that. there can be 3 big things. rule of 3. 7 will also work. 8 is common (a lucky number in some places, the number of worlds in smb1 and 3. 4 tasks is solid. 5 is not good but it'll work in a pinch. 10 works but just barely, getting too large to keep track of. 2 is not enough. 6, though? no one does 6

Crazy stuff

the thing about this game is that I just know if I was around in the Switch era when I was a kid I would've been absolutely obsessed with it. I mean I used to make "Jump Dude" levels on notebook paper. so I thought I'd let my son give it a try even though he's only 8 and the level maker menu is pretty complex for something in a Nintendo game. well he figured it out in about 10 minutes, proceeded to make some of the dumbest levels ever concieved, and is now talking about it all the time. he just has so many ideas. and after the first 5 or 6 tries he's actually making them kind of fun instead of basically impossible. I'm afraid I've created a monster.

This co-op level is one of the more insane SMM things I've seen:

Also apparently people succeeded in clearing all possible levels in the first SMM before they shut down the servers, there are some fun videos about the effort.
