Black Comedy: Explains that the reason a stage's title was a bunch of random letters was because the maker is a stroke victim.

comment
Characterization Marches On: Draco grows more affable as the series goes on, directly addressing his audience much more often and finding more enjoyment out of bad levels, rather than merely scowling and dishing out criticism like he did in the earlier episodes.

Gratuitous Japanese: Since he doesn't know Japanese, Draco sometimes says random Japanese words or sounds when he plays a Japanese level due to being unable to read the title (except when the title features the three characters that mean automatic)

Ambiguous Syntax: Draco plays an automatic stage called "Just go roam around", which he initially thinks is hinting at Mario roaming around aimlessly, but actually means that the player can do other things while the stage plays itself.

Please Subscribe to Our Channel: Draco does this at the end of many episodes, especially the newer ones, though he makes fun of people who excessively do it. He tries to keep it out of his playthroughs and attempts to explain how subscribing benefits his ability to create more content.

This Is Gonna Suck
 Gatorbox (Web Video) / int_9dfb8296
comment
This Is Gonna Suck: Sometimes Draco can get a bad feeling about a stage just from the title alone, especially if the words "automatic" or "water" are mentioned. Stage titles that indicate this is the creator's first stage are also usually giveaways. Also, you know that, with a few exceptions, every stage you watch in an episode is going to be bad since Draco only puts the bad stages he plays in the videos.

Accentuate the Negative
 Gatorbox (Web Video) / int_a70f9aba
comment
Accentuate the Negative: Your Level Sucks specifically focuses on poorly-made stages that get a rise out of Draco. Good or merely boring stages will get cut, although Draco did a special episode focusing on the good stages that were cut. Subverted in some of his specials and live streams, where Draco will tape all stages he plays to see what he gets. In one episode, Draco reveals that he played a lot of ridiculously bad stages in a row, preventing him from having to cut anything, though much to his aggravation gameplay-wise.

Everyone Has Standards
 Gatorbox (Web Video) / int_b4a6ae4c
comment
Everyone Has Standards: Draco gets some flak for mocking levels that might have been made by children, but when he played one level and realized the creator was almost definitely a child, he withheld most of his criticism (although he did make a jibe toward the end, and frequently mocked the creator's name). Though he seems to not pay much mind toward his detractors, Draco got incredibly angry when someone disliked videos he made for a hospital charity in a disliking spree. Although Your Level Sucks bases itself on mocking other people's stages, Draco blacks out all the level IDs to prevent his viewers from playing the levels and harassing the creators with comments, as Draco keeps his comments to the show rather than making them directly through Miiverse.

Hypocritical Humor: Draco occasionally mocks game streamers who pander to their audience and ask for money, although he himself has a Patreon and has partaken in a few viewer specials where he plays viewer-submitted levels, although he attempts to maintain his brand of humor in the process.

Berserk Button

comment
Berserk Button: Your Level Sucks focuses on Super Mario stages that Draco hates for a wide variation of reasons, but certain tropes within the game piss him off as soon as he sees them, including: Submitting the tutorial stage one receives at the beginning of the game. It reached the point where Draco even pretended to go out and kill a user who had submitted one. Star Runners, especially when it seems apparent that the star is only there because the maker couldn't beat their own stage. Automatic Stages, or stages that play themselves without the player having to do anything. However, Draco seems to find these more boring and unoriginal than rage-inducing, and frequently skips them or cuts them out of the video altogether. Stages where you only have to hold right to win are viewed in the same regard. Stages that overuse the sound effects given by the game to the point of them being unbearable to listen to. Stages with the New Super Mario Bros. engine. Draco particularly hates it for its gravity engine and wall-jumping mechanic, though is not completely prejudiced against it - he made a New Super Mario Bros. stage aptly titled, "A Good New Super Mario Bros. Stage". Stages that rely on exploiting glitches in the game.

Let's See YOU Do Better!: Draco highlighted a comment of this nature from a YouTube watcher, and proceeded to do just that by giving the IDs to his levels immediately afterwards. Your mileage may vary on their quality, but Draco has stated that he does try to maintain his standards of quality, unless he makes a parody stage like "Your Level Sucks: The Experience". When he realized one of his stages was rendered unplayable due to a game patch, he deleted it. He even made a special episode where he applied his critical brand of humor to his own stages.
