Three fiery snakes await! Can you take them on?

With Super Mario Maker 1 all but dying, I've decided to take another look at some of my personal favorite levels I haven't remade yet in Super Mario Maker 2 starting with Fire Snake Fortress. This was originally going to be a more direct port of the last version of my level of the same name from Super Mario Maker 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5Svh...​) but while I was trying to spice up a few of the sections I felt needed some love I ended up effectively redoing two thirds of the level.

For what I've changed for Super Mario Maker 2, I overhauled the first section to have the same idea as the original but more condensed and exciting. The second section received the least amount of work with almost the exact same path for the moving platform itself, but with a couple changes to try to make it as challenging if not more so than the new first section. Lastly, because I had more space after redoing the first section, the final boss section is now expanded as well so it's not nearly as awkwardly short as the original.

However, as it turns out I may have made the first half a little too spicy: pretty well every death was in the first half and a lot of people were giving up. So, to help ease things a tad, I removed some rotating blocks in favor of a straight semi-solid platform on an early jump, I added an extra power-up for quick players to grab, and I reworked the bit near the end of the first section where the snake goes vertical to make things easier. As a result of these changes, I had to move the checkpoints around a bit and the old pre-boss room no longer fit nicely into a single screen width so both checkpoints were moved to before their respective pipes.
