SUPER ARISA WORLD

[Gors]

I am against that gimmick. The levels are good enough for backtracking, adding another element not only will make things irritating, but will also force me to create more "important" collectibles. No one would replay the whole level as another character just to get extra coins/lives, and I think that making more collectibles will turn this into Banjo & Kazooie 4.

as for level layouts, it goes as follows:

Level Layout:

The game has 4 levels, and every level has three 'floors', except the last level (which is Viper's castle). The floors are as follows:

1-middle (MID): Every level starts here. It has a basic platformer layout, and can branch into TOP and BOT.
2-top (TOP): One of MID's branches. It can be accessed by entering an upwards pipe, climbing vines, platforms etc. As Mario's athletic levels, there are a lot of floating platforms and falling off them is a constant threat.
3-bottom (BOT): Another MID's branches. It can be accessed by entering a downwards pipe. It is the underground layout, with rocky surfaces, stalactites and lava.

• Each floor has its goal pole.
  
• Once you change your route, you can't go back. The only way to visit all floors is to replay the level.
  
• There are 4 manga pieces in every level. They are scattered between floors, so you need to play through all of them to complete it.
  • Gathering all manga pieces will give you a special prize.
    
• Every floor has 5 rep blocks so you can get its bonus whenever path you've taken.
