I quickly put together this level.  Do you think this is more likely to get stars?

It has one already ;) Yeah that should be more likely to get stars from the 100 Mario challenge, easy and looks like the others that come up lol. However my easy Toadstool level still sits at only 1 star out of 7, 40% completion rate. At least I succeeded in making it easy haha.
The only 2 courses of mine that got more than a few stars are Haunted cathedral (medium difficulty, not too long) and Rhytmic dash, 30 sec not too difficult learn the pattern running stage. Yet maybe it's just the luck of the extra traffic they got, 1 out 6 visitors giving a star is pretty close for all my courses, it's just those two received a lot more traffic.

I tried your Trying out new ideas. Riding the flying spike thing is a good idea (hard, too easy to miss a star of slide off while jumping) but there are too many tricky parts in that level for me. A pixel perfect jump (luckily non fatal yet the squid thing gets in the way), zero time tolerance on the thwomp jump and getting the switch into the pipe, getting past the hammer bros, trampoline jumps up and down, then there's still a chance to lose the star you need in the wall. Although you can skip getting Yoshi and do a second pixel perfect jump to the finish. Anyway each element takes me 20 to 30 tries in the editor. So the shortest path would take me 160k tries according to simple chance arithmitic lol.

P-switch ghost house looks interesting but I wasted too much time on the new ideas, gamepad is empty again. To be continued.
