Development History
The level was originally going to be designed by Suckerman7 GM, but later switched developers to gspezi14 (at the time only recently entered the development team). In gspezi14's hands, the level design ended up incorporating numerous Monty Moles and gave rise to the first version of the Jewel Kingdom early on in Demo 2's development. This helped change the direction of SMATSP forever.

Trivia

 * The music used in this level is Earthen Fury, composed by RetroSpecter as a theme song for Tetrahedrite.
 * In early development, the music planned for this level was Cave in the Sky from Kirby Triple Deluxe.


 * The environment of Garnetto City is loosely based on landscapes of Gem colonies from Steven Universe.

Lore
This area is laden with crystals, with each type dominating different depths of the mines, the deepest crystals 200 meters down being Garnets. The mines also feature elevators that lead to various depths and even to the edges of Misty Undergrounds. This area is also known as the Garnetto City Mines and is the site of Garnetto City, one of the remaining places from the old Jewel Kingdom. But the mines and the city are in grave danger, as Monty Moles aim to take over the mines completely.
