Description[]
The area is pitch black, as its name suggests, except for a few key elements: a giant hole up ahead, two flames in front of it, and a sign between them. Upon falling down the hole, the text "IT HURTS" flashes on the screen before the player is transported to the Castle Grounds.

AKA the room where Stanley mistakes you for Jim (and therefore tries to Insult you)
Wasn't there a 'trying to find gold inside bricks' part in an older version?
It is
For somereason, in 0.8, there is a duplicate in Bowser 3rd Fight Area 2 with no objects, plus the game crashes easily (if you walk a bit). You can only see the entire level by viewing in ROM Manager.
EDIT: I found it on 0.7
"Gordon, be careful! There's a big hole!"
