Hey,
I took a look at your screenshots (I haven`t even installed 38A), here are a few notes on how I see it:
As I'm sure you know, SMB1, SMB3 and SMW have very different graphic styles (different colors, number of colors or details on sprites or whatever you might call it).
As a rule, I wouldn't try to mix graphic elements and backgrounds from the original games. In most cases, the results will be so-so.
Can work well, but can also look a bit questionable (looking on screenshot 1 for example).
The ghost house screenshots on the other hand, show this very clearly. SMW ghosthouse has a quite dark and nearly moldy color style.
SMB3 only has 2 ghosthouses on the GBA remake.
So while the bg in your case is quite dark in terms of atmosphere, the tileset is way too bright. You might want to check these maps here to see what I mean:

https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/SuperMario ... Plenty.png
https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index ... MarioWorld
https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/Super ... tHouse.png
(SMB3 and SMB1 are similar in some terms and there is no official SMB1 ghost house content in 16 bit)
Normally, a lot of things are a matter of taste, but here it just doesn't fit together at all.
Do not misunderstand, it is not about the sprites and tilset itself, but about the choice of colors. With any decent graphical software you can adjust and change it to make it fit. Of course you can keep the tilset but then please change the background.
Might be a little bit tricky, but not impossible:
What about something like that?

(the colors I mean, not the background in general)
Otherwise good luck with your project.
BTW, the forum subtitle actually says:
"Share your completed SMBX episodes or play and discuss others."
I would say it was supposed to be for posted within the projects sub.
Edit: Are you aware about ...
Ultimate SMB1 HUD v2.2(Teascript for 38A)
