House of Shadows is the 4th secret level in The Megaverse and is a fusion level based on Shade Man's stage in Mega Man 7 and the Pumpkin Zone from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
Layout[]
House of Shadows takes place in a graveyard, hauntingly inspired by Dracula Castle, that was originally used for an amusement park before it was remodified by Dr. Wily. This castle belongs to the vampire lord Robot Master Shade Man who loves to spook and fear his guests with an army of his undead theme robots.
Pumpkin Zone is a Halloween-themed area inside of a giant Jack O'Lantern that Mario goes through to fight the Witch in the original game and collect one of the six Golden Coins.
The first area takes place in the graveyard, which features abandoned buildings and statues of Cheep Cheeps similar to the ones found in the first area of Pumpkin Zone. Here, the player must battle hockey-masked Goombas, real-life ghosts, and robotic enemies based on undead creatures like zombies and scarecrows. At the end, the player will enter a hole that leads inside the castle.
The second takes place in a hallway of the castle, as the player has to be careful of the crushers, Boos and helmet-shaped robots that pop out of a knight's armor in the background as a surprise attack.
The third area is similar to the inside of the Witch House in SML2 as the player goes through the downward stairs while dealing with Boos and other enemies.
The fourth area is a mini boss fight with a giant Jack o Lantern called VAN Pookin. After defeating the mini-boss, who explodes upon defeat, the player will pass to the next area. There are also portraits of Dr. Wily in the background.
The fifth area is a ride to the elevator as the player fights through the zombie robots while the screen is scrolling down.
The last area is a fight against Shade Man. The player must be careful of his Noise Crush and fangs, which can regenerate his health if the player gets caught in them. After Shade Man's defeat, the level is completed, and the moon will come down as the player will see another castle to go through.
