List of Platform Masters' worlds
Scene	Specs	Description
	World: 1 Name: Jeremy's House Region: Ronnisa Theme: countryside	This is where all the action begins. Jeremy's house is located in the western parts of the heavily populated Ronnisa Region, just west of Ronnis. Traffic and closely-spaced houses complete with sidewalks and detailed roads dominate the foreground. Beyond the houses are small hills that separate the Ronnisa region from the Yuris region. Farm fields and the coastline are barely visible beyond. A small coastal village with a highway are visible. Hovering above are a few air taxis, the hovering, levitating vehicles of the future. This world is a masterpiece for its scenery and really demonstrates the "takes parallax scrolling to an extreme never seen before" very well.
	World: 2 Name: Ronnis Region: Ronnisa Theme: large metropolis	Ronnis, home to about 50 million residents, is an extremely massive seaport city with tall sky scrapers extending out almost to the edge of visibility. The scene has a detailed, realistically-animated traffic light, advertisement signs, and a cliff up close. The Keveran River is beyond with an assortment of sailboats drifting along. The city itself has richly-detailed roads with buildings along them seen almost as far as the eye can see. One building stands 128 stories tall and is topped with a sign. The far end of the city itself leads toward the ocean, of which has 2 small islands visible.
	World: 3 Name: Ronnisa Plains Region: Ronnisa Theme: plains	With warm moist air coming from the south and cool dry air coming from the north, Ronnisa Plains is prone to severe weather and storms. Yep, it's raining in Ronnisa Plains but the rain makes for a pretty sight. A few trees make up the foreground part of the scenery. A major 6-lane freeway with dense traffic going along it, from the common family sedan or minivan, to police cars and 18-wheelers. Powerlines line the highway. Just beyond the highway is the rain-swollen Keveran River, the same river that runs through Ronnis. Hills line the edges of the river on both sides, short mountains on the other side, channeling the rain into the Keveran River.
	World: 4 Name: Keveran Desert Region: Keveran Theme: desert	Tucked away by short mountains is the Keveran Desert, at the northern part of the subtropical region known as Keveran. This canyon is filled with cacti, rocks, and sand dunes except where the Keveran River is. A massive 600-3/4-foot-tall (183.1 meters) cliff is present beyond the river. On top of the cliff are small mountains and finally the ocean.
	World: 5 Name: Lake Keveran Region: Keveran Theme: lake	Rain water from the surrounding mountains (they're too low for snow) has filled this basin with a large, long and narrow lake. Lake Keveran is full of, well, water, so that dominates the foreground part of the scenery. The lake's beautiful shore is very crowded with beachgoers and there are buildings behind to provide restrooms and an area to get dressed. Gravel roads branch off from a 2-lane highway to allow easy access to the lake. Waterfront houses are a bit beyond. Large hills leading up into small mountains lie beyond. Do note that, when you go underwater, the scene gets darker and fairly quickly. Travel underwater with care.
	World: 6 Name: Keveran Forest Region: Keveran Theme: forest	With plenty of rain water evaporated from the nearby ocean and mountains redirecting the rain, a massive forest has taken root in the southeastern part of the mainland. The forest extends out as far as the eye can see. Mixed in, relatively close to the scene, is the Tegram River with a fast current. Unfortunately, a fog bank has rolled in so it's quite difficult to see far, especially the low-lying areas.
	World: 7 Name: Air Taxi Region: Barugan Theme: futuristic flight	Air taxis are the vehicles of the future. Using trackless magnetic levitation by harnessing and concentrating Earth's magnetic field, air taxis can go almost anywhere with far more flexibility than airplanes or cars. Air taxi is the first of the game's vehicular-based worlds, where the scenery constantly zips by. In this case, it's islands from the western part of the Barugan Archipelago. The Barugan Archipelago (an archipelago is a group of islands) is part of the tropical region that forms the far south central portion of the overworld. Be careful not to fall in the water here or you'll lose a life from falling out.
	World: 8 Name: Barugan Reef Region: Barugan Theme: ocean	In the eastern part of the Barugan Archipelago, in the northernmost part of the tropical Barugan region, is a large reef that teeters on a massive cliff. The scenery has 2 parts. Underwater, the reef itself can be seen on the very tall cliff. Above the water, numerous islands are present. It gets very dark far underwater so take great care when travelling deep underwater.
	World: 9 Name: Carnivalesta Region: Sentus Theme: carnival	Carnivalesta is a great carnival and theme park held annually during the entire month of July. It is located in the southwestern part of Sentusia Island, in the southern part of the Sentus region. It lies in the foothills just south of the Sentus Mountains. Several barker and food stands, with tables, make up the closest part of the scenery. Theme park rides are mixed in the middle, including a massive 500-foot-tall (150 meters) roller coaster and a gigantic 350-foot-tall sky wheel (110 meters). The theme of the theme park revolves around Platform Masters. Covering the entire carnival grounds are light poles with colorful flags strewn between them. Beyond, it's very dark due to the fact it's night. An 8-story hotel is located just beyond the carnival grounds, adding more light. Hills lead up into the mountains, the Sentus Mountains. Small villages and small neighborhoods are scattered on the slopes of the mountains, including a medium-small city that spans 2 3/4 miles (4.4 kilometers). If you look closely enough, you can see the sky glow effect that that city has. The starry sky is perhaps the most breathtaking of all and it's also astronomically correct to the best of my ability. An interesting feature of Carnivalesta is that, high up, unless near a fire, everything gets dark, very dark.
	World: 10 Name: Sentus Mountains Region: Sentus Theme: mountains	The Sentus Mountains are part of a massive chain of very tall, rough mountains. Reaching upwards of 21,627 feet (6592 meters) above the ground (about 24,600 feet (7500 meters) elevation), these very tall mountains extent far out into the distance, as far as the eye can see. The dominant feature is the foreground. Lakes, rivers, forests, farm fields, and even a city with roads around it are present. Occasional platform levels are also visible, one just in the clouds.
	World: 11 Name: Train Region: Sentus Theme: train travel	This high-speed maglev freight train zips by forests, villages, cities, and mountains at a blazing fast 192 mph (85.8 m/s). The train has 5 types of train cars - a fuel car containing hydrogen (the standard for 2073), an empty flat car, a loaded flat car with containers on it, box cars, and a tourist vehicle that tourists can ride while they learn about the manufacturing process. The tourist vehicle is also designed to cut down on drag, increasing the speed without using more fuel. If you wait long enough, you can actually see the Desleal Train Station zip by. This is the game's most graphically complex world.
	World: 12 Name: classified Region: Sentus Theme: ?	The only thing known to the public is that this is the game's only world that has a ceiling. All other worlds have an infinite height span.
	World: 13 Name: Mount Sentusia Region: Sentus Theme: volcano	Mount Sentusia is an active volcano with an active lava lake in its crater. Occasional high spots poke out of the lava. This is the only world that uses lava. Once high enough to see over the rim of the volcano's crater, the Sentus Mountains are visible out to the edge of visibility.
	World: 14 Name: classified Region: Nodera Theme: classified	Nothing is known to the public about this world.
	World: 15 Name: Nodera Ice Shelf Region: Nodera Theme: arctic ocean	On the northern edges of the overworld, into the frozen tundra that the Nodera region is, a massive ice shelf is present. The scene is dominated by ice burgs drifting in the frozen ocean, massive ice burgs. The ice shelf is beyond with a few large hills further out.
	World: 16 Name: Nodera Highlands Region: Nodera Theme: Snowstorm	Nodera Highlands is located on the northernmost part of the Sentus Mountains. Here, an active snowstorm is going on with blowing snow at 48 mph (77.25 km/h) causing a mere 16,000-foot visibility (3.03 miles, 4.88 kilometers). This visibility is too high for it to be considered a blizzard. Small roads and a channel are visible below the clouds, small mountains are visible above the clouds, the Nodera Mountains. What's unique about this world is that you'll actively be going in and out of the clouds. Some levels take place above the clouds where visibility is very high, others in the clouds where the background scenery cannot be seen, and others yet below the clouds.
	World: 17 Name: Earth Space Base Region: Outer space Theme: Space	Rising above an area near Johannesburg, South Africa via space elevators is the Earth Space Base, a base in space above Earth. The foreground has an assortment of rooms. The background has text identifying the space base and the Platform Masters banner. The most distant part of the background is Earth itself with Europe, Africa, and Asia visible. Unlike most games with a space theme and the planet visible, Earth actually moves. It's extremely slow and slight, but it's the most distant game object ever. A few million CU to the right and the movement is noticeable. This world has gravity cut in half making springs and jumping much more effective for height.
	World: 18 Name: Mars Space Base Region: Outer space Theme: Space	Mars Space Base is nearly identical to Earth Space base. There are 3 exceptions though. The text banners show a different location and space base ID, Mars is in the background instead of Earth, and gravity is only 1/4 as effective allowing for seriously high jumps. The final boss lurks here too. Are you ready for the big battle?
	World: 19 Name: classified Region: ? Theme: classified	This is a hidden world - accessing requires meeting certain, hidden goals. Its levels are a lot more challenging than the others. The location and name are classified.
	World: 20 Name: classified Region: ? Theme: classified	This is also a hidden world. If you're the kind of player who enjoys a serious challenge, it's worth figuring out how to unlock this world. It's so difficult that difficulty 2 seems like difficulty 6. The location and name are classified.
