Cavern section is ok, there's one stinker here, Scarlet Cavern, this level may be the WORST in this compilation, it has the vibe of a Youtuber type level, Kaizo blocks, no indicated jumps, and more kaizo blocks, I died a lot here because this level has no indication on what type of jump you have to do, it's a very trial and error level, so yeah, worst of the set.
The best for me in this world is the crumbling bridge level, it's one of the best in this world, the other levels are good too, the temple level can be cheesed so whoops, the gauntlet is well aliggned and not too bad, the underwater yoshi level is tight but it's ok.
Also, I hope you like the "A Plumber for all Seasons" soundtrack as much as the team behind this, because most of the stages uses it, and ngl, sometimes the music doesn't fit the levels
Onto the next set of levels, from here you can only go up right? Right?!

From the depths of the old hacks, a classic, Just Blob, I dont remember playing this one but Ive heard of it, this was listed under the Easy hacks in RetroAchievements and, kinda, the game is easy, no question about it, the achievements are another story. Clear all the levels, and of course, Damageless runs, I kinda hate these regardless of how Easy they are, I hate them. Stages can be short or long, 1-3 is a gamble because you wont see whats below you most of the time, 1-6 is atrocious because of the boss, its RNG, but, the best strategy according to one user in the site is to hug the left bounce blocks and land on the boss, it does work.
Other achievements include, bouncing a lot on the credits and getting 50 lives, which fortunately you dont need to do them in one go, and beat the entire game without dying, which is easier than doing the stages damageless.
Difficulty:
3/10")

The Special World is a thingg, it opens with one level I kinda did like, a line guided level, the world also had levels I kinda dont like, one of them a Kaizo 1 homage with a fast autoscroller at the start, but it was so short I dont mind that much, up pipes suck in general, the other one was a level in a cave that is kaizo lite for sure, last bullet bill jump can be tricky, but these shot every 5 SMW seconds so it was just timing.
Levels are getting better, I dont have much negatives for this world outside of these 2 instances that arent that bad")
