This is Woodland Way, a short zone in the vein of an opening level. Featuring some unique textures and original music, it contains ten emblems across two acts and a variety of paths to take.
Your jorney begins in Act 1 (no surprises there), during the middle of the day. Act 2 takes place during sunset (with its own custom palette to boot), and is generally a lot more open. Towards the end of the act the brown earth gives way to stone walls as you exit the forest. Throughout both acts you'll have to watch out for brambles and mud puddles, not to mention Robo-Hoods and Green Snappers.
