Ghostly Avenue is the 3rd level in World 4: The Demon Realm and it is based on a series of areas from Demon's Crest for the SNES.
Layout[]
The level takes place in a literal ghost town, as all the former inhabitants are long dead and the town has been overrun by spirits and monsters under the bright moon. In the original Demon's Crest game, this area served as a hub area for the main character Firebrand to talk to the NPCs, in addition to shop for heath potions and power-ups during his quest to regain the six magical stones called Crests and to get revenge on his rival demon Phalanx for ambushing him while he was in a very weak state after his hard-earned battle with the Demon Dragon and imprisoned within the Coliseum after being accused of causing the Crest War to the Demon Realm.
The first area has the player journey through the ghostly town while dealing with the ghost type enemies that populate the area, such as Ghost Demons, Phantoms and Boos. Also found in this area are Fountain of Flames, which are two gargoyle statues carrying buckets of flames that are not safe to jump on while the flames are burning and the player can only safely stand on the statues when the flames are not burning. The demons themselves will breath fireballs. meaning that the player must dodge out of the way when that occurs. The area has a bit of a maze layout as the player will have pick the correct path on the low or high route since some of the paths are blocked by the walls.
In the last area, the town becomes more foggy around the town as the player will have to pick one of the three rounds (top, middle or low route) to progress and if they pick the wrong route, the screen turn white and the players will sent back to the beginning of the area. The player will also have to deal with more ghosts enemies, such as the dinosaur-like Eeries, that populate the area. Once the player picks the right pathway, they grab the flagpole to clear the level and exiting the town, leading to Darkstone Cemetery next on the map.

Trivia[]
- This level was once known as Ruined City and was the 8th level in World 4.
- This level was originally longer and featured a cavern area with the last part being a pitch-black catacomb and requiring the player to find a way to lighten up the area. However, those areas were removed and split into its own level, Accursed Ruins, after this level was revamped in the v0.785 update of Mushroom Kingdom Fusion.
- The layout design for the last area is inspire by 4-4 and 7-4 levels of Super Mario Bros and includes the same gimmick of choosing the correct pathway and not get send back to the beginning of the area if they choose the wrong pathway.
- The Witches, Killer Dogs, and all the Mario enemies were originally absent while the following enemies were removed after the revamp: Corpse Demon, Cyclops Bat, Wall Spider, Living Flame, Anemone, Skull Fish, Skeleton, and Merman.
