===Removal===
According to the developers, the theme was removed because the level content wasn't the same quality as the other themes, and there wasn't enough time before release to polish the levels.{{Citation needed}}

To do: think of something mildly witty to put in here.
To do: Source the developer quotes - I don't remember what interview I read that they removed it over quality concerns, I just know that it's true.
Also, go more in-depth with the asset distribution, maybe with just a better item list. (Something like the prize bubble sections for levels)
