This level is long! Even with a couple of shortcuts and not repeating any sections, it took me over five minutes to complete. There may be loads of clever obstacles that involve eating / creating blocks (and many more that don't), but I feel like all the ideas here could be split among multiple levels in a full project. I think the stage suffers somewhat from being overdesigned and having too many foci. As creative as they are, there are plenty of obstacles that have nothing to do with the theme, and there's even a "Semi-Kaizo Olympics" section (not shown here) that totally goes off on its own tangent, to the point that it almost feels like showboating. It might have been less of an issue with multiple checkpoints, but with only one midpoint, I feel bad for any player who dies in this stage, even with all the reset doors.

Super creative, but in dire need of trimming and a narrower focus, in my opinion.
