Compared to its two preceding worlds, [[Krem Quay]] and [[Krazy Kremland]], Gloomy Gulch's world map is smaller, with a size around that of the first world, [[Gangplank Galleon]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, every world map was redesigned and extended, including Gloomy Gulch's, whose size rounds out that of previously-larger worlds. | Compared to its two preceding worlds, [[Krem Quay]] and [[Krazy Kremland]], Gloomy Gulch's world map is smaller, with a size around that of the first world, [[Gangplank Galleon]].
