An alternate title for this video might be "100 Reasons Why 9-7 Is Horrible". There's a reason why it's the most infamous level in the game...but we'll get to that.
9-5: A strangely vertical ice level with Cooligans and some puzzles involving freezing Fuzzies.
9-6: A level level with a lot of platforming.
9-7: Another ice level, this time with a jungle theme. Oh, if only that were the extent of it. This one is a nightmare to get the Star Coins in, because two of them require pretty careful timing and having the right number of ice blocks melted. Even just beating the level is a pain in the butt, because it spams Venus Fire Traps like they're going out of style (I still have no idea how you're supposed to get past that group of five upside-down ones without taking a hit) and almost every surface is icy. Was this even playtested?
9-8: An auto-scrolling athletic level with colorful blocks, lots of coins and 1-Ups, and, uniquely, King Bills.
With that, we have officially beaten and completed every level in the game. There is absolutely no fanfare, and you don't seem to get anything for finishing world 9, so it's really not a big deal if you skip it (or at the very least, skip 9-7).
