Experiencing the same level in different times.

Examples:

•The four seasons of Click Clock Wood in Banjo-Kazooie.

•The time shift stones in the Lanayru Province in Zelda: Skyward Sword.

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Click Clock Wood is primo. The entirety of Simpsons Hit and Run does this with Springfield. Top stuff

switch-shannon.bsky.social•10 days ago

Oh I didn’t know that about the Simpsons game, sounds fun!

I also forgot to put in my example list, every level (except the last) of “Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair” because you can solve puzzles in the Overworld to alter the levels between two different states.

Struggling to think of an example that isn't Luigi's Mansion 3/Slatoon, but greenhouses are always super cool, especially when they go all out with the plant designs

switch-shannon.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes! Did you ever play the “Click Clock Wood” level of Banjo-Kazooie?

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

There's some GREAT Big Tree levels in Donkey Kong Country 3, and a dungeon in Golden Sun

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Banjo Kazooie Nuts N Bolts has the Jiggoseum which hosts Every Sport which is a lot of fun

daveclarke.bsky.social•10 days ago

A regular room but you're shrunk down really small

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure has levels for Andy's Room and Pizza Planet from You Story and they are SO good.

An area that is normally friendly and safe but is now destroyed, corrupted and evil

agnesfm.bsky.social•10 days ago

- Shopping Centre (busy)
- Shopping Centre (abandoned)

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

The Mall level in THPS1+2 being abandoned and broken down is soooo good

kissmarton.bsky.social•10 days ago

derpythecalamity.bsky.social•10 days ago

minecart minigame?

marthburton.bsky.social•10 days ago

Did you ever play the game 'blood' from 1997 I want to say, best guts level ever

marthburton.bsky.social•10 days ago

Just remembered there is also a carnival level

thundalarchsys.bsky.social•10 days ago

I love good water levels. Mega Man having lowered gravity is good and fun. Aquatic Ruin making spindash nuts was good!

Labyrinth Zone being sluggish was shite.

Water Temple was fine! Except that one switch which very much felt like it was designed to milk money out of a hint line...

andonpc.bsky.social•10 days ago

Train levels like the one in wario land or charge man’s stage in mm5.

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

The first Bubsy game has a few train levels that are a lot of fun

“Futuristic” environments

gromreaper.bsky.social•10 days ago

Everything’s Bigger Than Normal
Robots Have Taken Over
Hey Look, Dinosaurs!
Floating Ruins In The Sky

starbounddeer.bsky.social•10 days ago

The only one of these that isn't Mario Odyssey is the everything's bigger, and even then it's such a massive game I could have just forgotten about it haha

tehdingoisajerk.bsky.social•10 days ago

Everybody's on drugs!

thewassy153.bsky.social•10 days ago

I love Gluttony (Ultrakill) and Pizzascare (Pizza Tower), such good levels :3

wormslord.bsky.social•10 days ago

Water level

archaictorment.bsky.social•10 days ago

Sunken ship.

elky21.bsky.social•10 days ago

I can still see the casino level in sonic heroes when I close my eyes.

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ohhhh I love a Factory level. Grunty Industries, Frantic Factory in DK64

thundalarchsys.bsky.social•10 days ago

Scrap Brain definitely has a marker in my brain. The Machine (Spinball) and The Pig Star (Rocket Knight) definitely get good music points, too.

Spark Mandrill?

Bonus points: one of my favorite of these was from a sonic fan game, and was called "OSHA Violation Zone".

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Spark Mandrills stage is good yeah. Especially how it has different versions based on if you've beaten Storm Eagle or not

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Inside A Clock levels. All the gears and ticking and stuff. Love that

procrastineight.bsky.social•10 days ago

dishonored 2's Clockwork Mansion is art.

internetart.bsky.social•10 days ago

Snowy, but without slidey stuff.

heythatsmyleg.bsky.social•10 days ago

There's a real subtle difference between a snow level and an ice level, hey

internetart.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah, and it’s not a requirement, but if you can avoid the Christmas imagery that’s a bonus. I don’t know why Halloween levels are always fun but Christmas levels make it feel like a “play only around the holidays” game. Don’t know why. Maybe some sort of psychology.
