Part 4: Hot caverns

World 5 is lava themed, but it's not the final world, interesting

w5-2 Deep Caverns 1: It's your usual underground with saws, moving platforms and Green Shell Hammer Bros., well maybe not that usual. The setups are good for the time, definitively a good level
w5-3 Deep Caverns 2: First half has a similar structure of "Bowser Valley 1", multiple branching paths, second half it's a vertical layer 2 section and that's it
w5-Palace Blue Switch Palace: Final palace and robably the most distinct switch palace of them all. While the other 3 where simple platformers and/or puzzles, this one is a big level underwater, I love this palace, and yet again, that sweet buoyy base galaxy port is fucking good for being that old. The level is a big vertical section and constructed like a maze with some tight corridors, spikes and urchins, but it's not crazy difficult.
w5-4 Deep Caverns 3: Maze-like level, kind off, you need certain items the first half to continue, then it's a star race, and after that it's a layer 2 lava rising and decreasing section, probably the best part of the level
w5-Castle #5 Castle Depths: Like in the previous level, you need certain items to continue the level, after that you need to ride in a platform to safe land, and then, it's more item required gates, that's the entire level
w6-1 Deeper Caverns: Like in the previous video, idk if this is part of w5 but every level after a castle i consider it part of a new world so yeah. The level is lava themed still, and this time the lava skull raft is introduced, it's a neat little section if anything, second section is a big lava section with platforms where you can stand on, and third section is just platforming avoiding fire.
w6-2 Deep-Sea Battalion: From lava to water that quickly. This level is a mess, It's tight corridor after tight corridor, filled with torpedos, bill blasters, torpedo bros, and the cherry on top, bullet bill generator, this level can be frustrating, but it's not impossible, still, it sure stings hard.
w6-3 Mystery Desert Isle: And the final of the day, a desert themed level, neat-o, the level itself it's not hard at all, it has a lot of munchers but it gives you time to think, second half it's inspired in level 7-9 from SMB3, i like that.

And that, is world 5, next time i'll be finishing this hack once and for all
