Wow, thanks for this long suggestion post, Dinomar. (you don't mind, if I call you on your 'older' username? I still like it better somehow  )
1 - Yeah, you're right, but I won't use it, just at secret levels (like this). You don't have to finish this level by the way, you can continue playing without collecting coins, of course! So, it's just a little bonus feature I think. And a good reason to make another little Toad House level. 
2 - You're totally right, and someone else mentioned it too, so I fixed that already.
3 - Hm, actually I wouldn't thought while making the level, that it would be a little problem for a few people. I might change them a bit, and yeah, they were supposed to be similar to the ground. I think you'd recognize them while playing the level, though.
The only problem, that I have no ideas, how else could them be.  I don't really want to use the original pipe graphics, these ground-pipes would be quite unique, in my opinion.
Oh, and yeah, I understand how you feel. Yes, you were a quite big critic poster (not in the bad meaning), but yeah, not all of the people liked it. They were very useful though.
4 - You're basically right, but I don't recall it as a problem too much. Don't worry, not every levels are so "tiny-roomed" (or how to say..), this one supposed to be like that, because I wanted to add a 'ruined temple' feel. Not everything is well-ordered, mainly random blocks and walls on the whole level.
5 - Yeah, I'll fix the palette. Don't worry, that BG is so awesome, I use it on 3 levels of mine to be accurate. Really, I think you've done a great work on it, and it's lovely to use.
I know that you're banned from SMW Central, I thought that would be, if you wouldn't be banned from there.
I like both graphical styles. Broozer is just way too popular, and of course some idiot postcount++ers will applaud for him work in every way. But I'm sure many people would love your work too.
Really thanks for the comments, again!
On your last screenshots: they're looking quite nice, I guess this will be completely vanilla. I can see a quite lot cutoff on your second screenshot though: grey cement block-water, water-ground, ground-rope.
But you have a great idea with those ghost house graphics! I imagine them as a city of Middle Age. And I've never seen an Italian hack before, very interesting.

I always knew you're a great drawer and pixel artist, but that awesome pictures...I've never seen better before than this, ever! Seriously, if these would be shown off at SMW Central, there would be an epic post madness to applaud your breathtaking work.
