Development History
This level was formerly planned to be called Paratroopa Bridge, as the name suggests, a level mainly themed around Koopa Paratroopas on a long bridge. But the level concept was scrapped in SMATSP's early development, and the concepts were divided into two different levels. Bridge parts went to Bullet Bill Bridge, and the Paratroopas became more relevant in the current incarnation of the said level.

Trivia

 * The music used in this level is a remix of the Athletic theme, from New Super Mario Bros. DS, composed by the artist MrJGreenWell.
 * This music is also used in Mushroom Mountains and Bullet Bill Bridge.

Lore
The Viridian Grasslands Outskirts hosts an enormous gorge carved by a large, powerful river running from the Mystical Crags to the ocean. The gorge has steep walls and is difficult to cross except for a few intrepid travellers. Anyone that can cross the gorge from the Misty Undergrounds will be rewarded with an expansive flat plain that can hold a large town.
