These levels are not entirely [[Under the Sea]], but feature the edge of land and water. This can be an easy, fun and relaxing level in the style of a [[Beach Episode]], but not always, since the beach can be dramatic. Expect palm trees, sand, fun Caribbean-style music and jetskis.

*** Which makes it an odd choice of picture when you consider that the beach section of that level lasts for all of two seconds, and the rest of that level is more of a [[Jungle Japes|jungle]] ([[Hailfire Peaks|on fire]]!) than a beach. |
