There are 6 new levels (not including Showdown Town and Spiral Mountain). Each new world is split into 6 acts (à la ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series) each with a number of Jiggies obtainable (L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges has no Jiggies to obtain, since they go to the picture). Like the other console games, the levels can be accessed from the hub world and themed music will play when neared.

**This is less likely an easter egg and more an oversight. The cutscene of Gruntilda in LOG's game factory is loaded directly underneath the visible geometry of Spiral Mountain, likely to save time and remove the need for the game to load a new section. Using a glitch, the player can break through the ground in Spiral Mountain and view the game factory. Titles include "Grabbed by the Ghoulies II" a fictional sequel to the aforementioned Xbox title, "Killer Kake Instinct", a parody of Killer Instinct and cooking games that seems to star Humba Wumba, "Killer Instinct 3" the same as the games Jolly Dodger is holding, and "Banjo Bash Buddies" likely a parody of Super Smash Bros. | **This is less likely an easter egg and more an oversight.
