Platform Room
Enabling other root nodes reveals a wall with a crack in it on the right side of the room. Normally the right side of this room has a tunnel with wood blocking it, and the player has to use Bobbery to remove the blockade; it looks like originally this boarded-up tunnel was just your average bombable wall with a crack in it. This tunnel leads to the Bullet Bill corridor, which leads to the sunken ship room that has an unused cracked-wall exit, so it's possible that the Bullet Bill corridor was placed between the two rooms later in development, at which point the cracked wall was changed into a boarded-up tunnel.
Also revealed is a bunch of rock arches with lanterns that blend in well with the room, and a crate, barrel, lantern, and bottle that are floating in the center of the room.
