Honestly I like it, very well done, but as a perfectionist something really bugs me about this. The effects you used around Mario, the ones placed on top of him seem to look a little out of place. I mean I think I understand that it's because he's turning, but they seem a little strong. Also I would just take the text out all together, I didn't even notice it when I first glanced at it, then when I saw it, it just looked bad. So otherwise great job! Well done!
