Burnt, Burnt Village is an anomalous lava-themed stage that may appear in some personalized copies. It can be found in one of 2 places; it can either replace Lethal Lava Land in the basement, or in the second basement in copies that contain it. This course may contain 2 boss fights in heavily personalized copies.
Geography[]
Most reports say that Burnt, Burnt Village is split into several unique locations throughout the course, either as part of the main geometry or as sub-areas. Several people describe a combination of 2-4 locations, corresponding to the 4 main "parts" that appear the most often: The Village, The Clouds, The Palace and The Tower.
The Village[]
The Village is the main part of Burnt, Burnt Village. It is surrounded by a lava lake with a few rocks inside of it, with the amount of rocks in the lake varying from copy to copy. The village contains a few houses, which resemble the ones found in Wet-Dry World. Sprinkled around the village are Bob-omb Buddies, one of which will open a cannon, giving the player access to The Clouds and The Palace. In the center of The Village is The Tower, which is its own distinct area. In the village, you can find a few enemies, including Dry Bones, Bullies, and in some copies that have enemy discoloration, White Bob-ombs.
The Clouds[]
The Clouds are accessed by using the cannon unlocked by a Bob-omb Buddy to shoot into the sky, where there are a few clouds from the Wing Mario Over the Rainbow stage. This section of the stage contains some noteworthy elements. First, this is where the Ice Flower power-up can be found if your copy of the game contains it, which is needed for a couple missions. This area is also connected to The Palace. A Big Mr. I can also be found here, as well as Fwooshes.
The Palace[]
The Palace is located on one of the clouds above the level. Some reports say that outside the palace, a sign is present that reads something along the lines of, “Welcome to the Angry Sun’s palace, don’t go further or you will be set ablaze!” Inside the palace, there is a single room that is described as being colored mostly gold and white, with a sun design on the floor in the center. Inside there is an Angry Sun, with the way to defeat it varying from copy to copy. Some say you have to freeze it 3 times with the Ice Flower, others say that you have to ground pound on it 3 times, and yet some say other things. Once defeated, the Angry Sun will drop a star.
The Tower[]
The Tower is a grey brick structure in the center of The Village. On the inside, you will find a few moving platforms that you must traverse to reach the top. Once you’ve exited The Tower on top, reports claim that you’ll find yourself in a boss fight with a Big Bully. Upon defeating the Big Bully, it will drop a star.
Missions[]
The stars vary from copy to copy, but the most common stars include finding a star in the clouds, killing the Angry Sun, killing the Big Bully, finding a star somewhere in the lava lake, collecting red coins. There is also presumably a 100 coin star.
Theorizing[]
It is believed that Burnt, Burnt Village was removed and possibly replaced by Lethal Lava Land, and the AI is trying to re-add it to the game. This is believed due to the fact they share many similarities, including Bullies, a Big Bully Bossfight, a lava lake and other similarities. It may have also been intended to replace or count as a counterpart to Wet-Dry World due to its similarities, maybe a lava based Wet-Dry world, due to the fact it has Wet-Dry World style houses. It could also be a case of Dynamic Level Arrangement, taking parts of Lethal Lava Land and Wet-Dry World and making a new level.
