—Treetop Trouble, Death Screen
Treetop Trouble is a Run 'n Gun level in Inkwell Isle One that has the player going up and through a tree. It is the second Run 'n Gun level in the game, and is arguably more complex than Forest Follies, the other platforming level in this world.

Sections[]
There are 3 sections in this platforming level:
- Player/s must go up a slope, while Bouncin' Beetles and Woodpeckers attempt to halt your progress. This requires patience and precise timing. One coin can be found, requiring the player to parry off of a Bouncin' Beetle to acquire it.
- Player/s go upwards inside a tree on floating platforms, while Stack O' Woods and Flying Beetles attempt to impede progress. Two coins can be found, one partially hidden.
- Player/s have to jump across little mosquitoes holding leaves. Whenever you jump on one, a fireball will appear and burn them up, removing that platform for a few seconds. At the end of the section, you will face the Dragonfly, who roars fireballs out. Two coins can be found here, one requiring you to drop down.
Defeating him or jumping and dashing over him grants you access to the end of the level.

Trivia[]
- The woodpeckers have a very similar appearance to Woody Woodpecker, a Walter Lantz cartoon character.
- The pink butterflies can be parried, but they do not affect the rank after completing it.
- The Bouncin' Beetles could be a reference to a stage show scene in Disney's The Woodland Café where a spider squishes a fly into a ball and bounces her around.
Glitches[]
- The Bouncin' Beetles can actually clip through the terrain at the starting point of the level. This is best observed by letting them spawn and running back to the entrance, where they instead fall through.
- The Dragonfly sometimes doesn't appear to fight the player.
- Sometimes, even if the player(s) met all of the requirements for an A+ in this level, the scoring system does not give out the best grade due to a glitch, though it has since been fixed.
- Funfair Fever had the same glitch, as well.
