Plumbers Hideout

The Plumbers Hideout is a one-level Parallel Dimensions that can be entered by kicking a bomb in the shaft at the right side of level 16 and killing all the fruits in this level. A portal will open in the centre of the open area at the bottom of the level. A Fireball will spawn as you enter. The goal of this level is to grab as many of the 44 Secret Coins that will appear as possible. This level has no enemies you can kill and therefore you can leave it at any time by dropping through the hole in the bottom of the level.

This level is a clear reference to the Super Mario games, as the blocks you walk on look very much alike those in Super Mario Bros., and coins are usual to come out of those blocks in Super Mario Bros. There are also two ?-blocks in this level (another common feature from Super Mario Bros. games) that will release a Ruby Mushroom when exposed to a bomb explosion. This is a reference to the mushrooms in Mario Bros. which also come out of these blocks. The level even includes a "Warpipe".

When you leave this level you'll go to level 17.
