Short, very chill game, I really liked the visuals, and the needle was pretty fun too - interesting vine, water and jump refresher maneuvers.
The one thing I didn't like is most saves start with a full jump. Fortunately I'm less sensitive to that than other fangamers, but it's worth pointing out. Also the first screen is definitely harder than the rest - not so much that it's super unbalanced or anything, but if you can clear the first screen you can be confident you're able to clear the whole game.
Solid recommend to veteran players, or intermediate players looking for a one-save-per-screen challenging needle.

Mainly an old-school trap game, with a couple bosses and an avoidance. The Ryu boss was fun and I liked the cloudy area a lot, but I wasn't a big fan of the surprise flower avoidance, which has a rather slow beginning. The inferno area had a couple too tight spike cycle saves back to back capped off with a slow and boring block ride. Finally, the last boss, while it has decent and simple attacks, is brought down by trying to reference the SMW Bowser fight, including its main problem - 10 seconds of unskippable waiting for each phase of the boss to begin attacking, which gets stale really fast.
Overall a short fun trap game, not without its flaws, but still enjoyable.

Sometimes I get more frustrated at good games with missed potential than bad games, and this is one of those cases. Travel the Mario World is still a decent game, with great production value and lots of good ideas - but it's brought down by a number of small irritating details, such as the jankiest shell bouncing ever, cycles and P switch races that are a little too tight, the classic last trap / kaizo block at the end of a long section, and the final boss having a pretty unfair parting shot go quickly to the right once you kill Mario!
Still a solid adventure, although not for beginners and impatient needleheads.

Rating basing on normal clear.
Very fun, banger song, thanks for the practice mode
The only attack that felt a bit questionable was the high-speed rain with a big red star obscuring the middle of the screen

Don't be intimidated by the almost 70 difficulty average - if you've beaten other arzztt games like VoVoVo, Chill Needle 2, Not Another VVVVVV game, you can already beat 90% of Save My Boy. And if you're not at that level yet, then I'll tell you the rating average is well-earned: All the time I've spent playing and making gimmick fangames, the effort and practice that took me to a point where I could clear this without getting stuck on a save for more than 20ish minutes, was worth it just to clear Save My Boy.
