General Commentary and Game Overview

This is a level maker that, at the time this was written, was a few days before the release of Super Mario Maker, an official level editor for the Wii U. However, it falls short when it comes to that...

Pros	-The graphics are pretty good. -Sounds are managable -You can save -You can erase objects by right-clicking on them -Easy to control
Cons	-The shadows -The physics -Hard to use -A lack of objects -Glitches -There's no undo button

Impressions

Gameplay 1 / 10	So this is a Mario level editor, in which it is supposed to be similar to Super Mario Maker. However, the editor is full of bugs. It's hard to use, objects sometimes don't line up properly, pipes are harder to use than they should be, and there is a lack of objects and level themes to use (you can only use the standard overworld theme). Playing the levels themselves isn't much better: Shadows of coins remain once you collect them, bricks and ? blocks are bad when it comes to being bumped, the physics are more poor than Hello's, and any mystery mushrooms placed in the Super Mario Bros. style will show up in the other styles with their original graphics, though they basically act like a poison mushroom. Additionally, if you place one in a ? Block and grab it, the game crashes. These are all problems when playing.
Graphics 9 / 10	The graphics are pretty good, to be honest. The Amiibo costume sprites are very good, with the exception of Pac-Man's, and everything else looks good too. One of the few flaws I found though was that coin shadows don't vanish when you collect them. It's a minor issue, but it's still enough to bump it down from a 10/10.
Sound 6 / 10	I don't really like the music for Super Mario Gear Solid, but that's just personal preference. Though I do have to admit, Abducted Galaxy needs music, and the Q-Nova theme needs more instruments. The rest of the sound effects are taken from both versions of Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Not the best, but not the worst.
Replay 2 / 10	I probably wouldn't replay this. The hard-to-use level editor apart from the lack of objects makes this a bad experience. I'll stick with SMBX.

Final Words

Just stick with Mario Builder, Super Mario Bros. Game Master, SMBX, and the official Super Mario Maker.

Seriously, how are these games getting past moderation?

"Seriously, how are these games getting past moderation?" That honestly beats me. :/ Though I do have to ask, what do you mean by Abducted Galaxy needing music? It has music.

"Seriously, how are these games getting past moderation?" I've been wondering that myself for a few years now, especially when the rules state that "all games must have effort put into them and must be playable", yet the moderators accept effortless, unplayable games, and then proceed to complain about them.
