Abstract Landscape is the third secret level in World 9: Edge of Beyond.
Layout[]
This level is a Fusion level combining together a number of "abstract"-type games; games, such as Qix, Marble Madness, and Quarth, that are quite bizarre in layout and unlike most other games that are referenced in Mushroom Kingdom Fusion. Most of the level is a fusion of the strange square shapes from Qix and the "2.5D" isometric terrain of Marble Madness, dotted with enemies and hazards from both games, as well as from other unusual games. Coins in this level are modeled after the titular balls from the Windows game Jezzball, while ? blocks are modeled after the cursor from said game.
The level consists of three main rooms. The first room predominantly contains Marble Madness elements, and is a basic platformer-style level. The second room contains predominantly Qix elements, and features a labyrinth swarming with the titular stick-like creatures, which bounce around furiously and require a Starman to pass.
Lastly, the third main room is an unusual, vertically-scrolling area modeled after the game Quarth; a series of shapes descend from above, and the player must remove them by turning them into rectangles. This is done by hitting a number of invisible "blocks" around the descending shapes, using special springboards on the platform at the bottom of the screen to reach them. The player has to remove the shapes quickly enough to prevent from being crushed, as well as having to deal with occasional enemies positioned throughout the area. Completing this third area takes the player to the flagpole and the level has been cleared.
