Here's the (early!) world map, which is how you'll navigate the different levels in Adventure Mode. I "play" a few of the levels so you can see how the game's progression works.

Beating Super Freaks Stadium (the first level) will unlock the two levels in Normal World. Beating both of them will open the Normal World boss level, in this case the fight against Cinge (the fireball guy). Rinse and repeat for the other planets.

Part of the reason I added a world map is because I'm adding several new levels! Many of these are taken from a very similar and never finished project I attempted back in March of 2006. Picture Super Freaks 1 but even more awkward and with a 2.5D camera that I may or may not have lifted from a tutorial I found on the Game Maker forums at the time. Due to its similarities to Super Freaks 1, nowadays I affectionately refer to it as Super Freaks 0.

Let's go over the worlds of the United States of Craziness:

- Mystic Island is not a planet but a floating space island. The Super Freaks grew up and continue to live here, now in a stadium home where they do wacky shenanigans and entertain people. Two levels are here, both brand new to the game. Super Freaks Stadium is the intro level, while Exciting Encore is a super hard level unlocked after completing every other level 100%.

- Normal World is basically a slightly off-kilter version of Earth. The first level here is Fruit Juice Factory, the first level of the original version of the game, and which has made a reappearance in every mainline Super Freaks game since. The other level is Skyway Highway, a level lifted from Quincy's Adventure. I'll be posting that game online too but not before I give it a nice coat of polish.

- Crazy World is a circus/amusement park planet full of fun settings. The levels here are Toy Block Bridge, found in the original version of Super Freaks 1, and Playful Park, lifted from Super Freaks 0.

- Ludicrous World is a nature world where people chill and get in tune with nature. The levels are Barrel Canyon Cliffs from Super Freaks 1, and Shipwreck Poopdeck, based on a pirate ship concept I was tossing around back when I attempted Super Freaks 0.

- Insane World is trippy and bizarre. The levels are Forever Flowery Fields (which was actually the first level in Super Freaks 0, and was properly finished and added to Super Freaks 1 in 2016), and the brand new Lightning Rod Lake. I hope you liked Lightning Look-Out in DKC3!

- Freaky World is about as spiritual as a wacky cartoon world can get. Cool n' Chill Caverns (like Forever Flowery Fields, was originally from Super Freaks 0, and properly finished for Super Freaks 1's 2016 version), and the Starscraper, which was meant to be Super Freaks 0's final level. I never started work on it back in 2006, and I'm thrilled to finish it now.

- Castle Kranion, the final world, is Kranion's space castle. It already had two levels in Super Freaks 1: Conveyer Castle and Mecha Moon, both of which return here.
