Press Start: Super Mario World - Chocolate Island

Whoopsie. If you saw what was posted here, I accidentally skipped ahead to the Valley of Bowser but forgot to post about Chocolate Island so here it is.

Levels Completed
- Chocolate Island 1, 2 (2 Exits), 3 (2 Exits), 4, 5
- Chocolate Secret
- Chocolate Fortress
- Chocolate Ghost House
- Wendy's Castle

An island made of chocolate. Wouldn't that be nice? Not too much to comment on here about this one. Fairly standard stuff going on in these levels.

The first section of the ghost house was annoying because of that Fishin' Boo that has a flame on his lure, following me constantly as I dodge pits and eeries. The second part is kind of annoying too since I have to dodge those line of ghosts that bounce of the walls and I have got a small space to work with.

The secret goal in Chocolate Island 2 is kind of tricky. Or the actual goal is kind of tricky because which goal you get depends on the time on the counter when you exit the second area. If you just speed through the level every time, you probably wouldn't have figured it out.

Chocolate Secret is a fun level for all the constant running while jumping on those cheese blocks that are lowering into a giant lava pit and avoiding Chargin' Chucks. Beating this level gets you directly to Wendy's Castle too.

Chocolate Fortress is a pretty interesting level. In te first area, I've got to dodge those wooden spikes and random fireballs coming at you from the right of the screen. The second area is dodging Thwomps and Thwimps. Not too hard but not that easy either.

Not too much to say about Chocolate Island 4 and 5. Just a lot of jumping and dodging stuff. Standard Mario stuff.

Now Wendy's Castle, that's a hard one. In the first section, you need to dodge those wretched insta-kill spikes while dodging saw blades. No easy task, I tell you since you need to be on the move constantly for most of the area. The next area is probably just as difficult as I need to jump on moving blocks all while avoiding those cute Sparky's and Hotheads that travel along the platform. In the video, I die a couple of times to these things. Onto Wendy. Like Lemmy, there are a bunch of pipes which Wendy and two dummies will come up out of but the added challenge is that you need to dodge two fireballs while trying to hit her. Not quite so easy as Lemmy, but not that much harder either.

Woo. Now with Chocolate Island behind us, we move onto the dreaded Valley of Bowser.
