Part 3: Flooded Cavern

World 4 is centered around cave levels, it can be a bit repetitive coming from a world made of mountain and rocky levels but let's check it out

-Crystal Cave: Standard cave level, im sure this one is a new level, considering the sampled port and the tileset to some extent but who knows
-Crystal Climb: This is another new level i believe, yet again considering the sampled port of "Ice Cave Chant". Level structure feels old with the copy paste of some rectangles, or that's what i saw a lot in old hacks
-Gglimmering Bridge: This one also feels new just for the parallax effect, it doesn't matter at all but i just like to point what level feels old and which one old. Anyway the level is alright, nothing crazy but it's enjoyable
-Dark Crystal Cave: Long level, i like this one, it has a strange aura i like, not sure how to explain it but it's good. I wasted lifes trying to be fancy. The autoscroller may be the only downside to this one
-Red Switch Dome: This palace is a minigame of guessing, one try only, it's the best one in the game
-Ice Cavern: This one is as vanilla as it can be, it feels like an edit of Donut Secret 2 but with some extra things thrown in there, like the climbing net, but that's just at the end of the level
-Spin and Switch: Another gimmick level, this one uses spin jump to change the state of the coin and coin blocks making the level challenging, this is also probably a new level
-Boo's Home: Also a new level, this one i can tell for the graphics and the Mario Maker music. This one is good. Nothing else to add
-Shadow Factory: Mega Man inspired level, the music makes me believe this also is a new level but yet again i don't really know. The level is short but sweet and i like the theme of the level, what a good way to spice things up
-Level -4: Legend of Zelda inspired level, the wallmaster felt innofensive as i just kept moving through the level, and even then it's just an obstacle the first half, the second half uses the net and keys to make things interesting. Very good level
