Tiny-Huge Island (beta) is an area in B3313.

Description

The starting area is an Huge version of vanilla Tiny-Huge Island. There is a spike on top of the mountain with a hole in it, and a pipe which cycles between Huge, Medium, and Tiny versions of the island.

Many enemies and level features are missing from all versions, including the giant goombas, the cannonballs, and all updrafts and wind. None of the size variants have the distant island from vanilla THI, nor do they have the side-entrance to Wiggler's Cave. The Huge variant has a Wing Cap block at the start.

Origins

The area is mainly taken from the vanilla version of the titular stage. Some textures are taken from the Shoshinkai beta version of Super Mario 64.

The music that used to play here is the "Thwomp Caverns" theme from the Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time OST. Since the Christmas Build there are two themes now: Illusion Cave from Super Mario 64 plays in the Medium and Tiny versions of the island, and Cave Dungeon plays in the Huge version of the island.

Stars

There are five stars to collect across the three versions of the island:

• (Huge) On the small island in the water, at the top of the flagpole.
• (Tiny) Above the small island in the water. (In versions prior to v1.0.2 this shared an ID with Huge version of star)
• (Huge) At the top of the mountain.
• (Huge) Collect the 8 red coins.
• (Medium (1.0.2) / Huge (UA)) Defeat the 5 giant Piranha Plants.

Warps

Leading here

• Plexal Basement: In the main section's front side, go through the door with the number 2 on it, on the wall next to the hallway with the main grid at the end of it, and then through the painting of Tiny-Huge Island.
• Vanilla Upstairs: Jump into either of the Tiny-Huge Island paintings. (Goes to Tiny or Huge version depending on the painting)
