In World 1 level 2, there is a secret area in the cave that takes you to a hidden route and levels. In the cave, make your way to the egg that has a card of spades in it, grab it and get on the Red Dinosaur (may look a different color depending on the game version or where you are playing it). This red dinosaur will allow you to walk on lava and is needed to get to the secret area so make sure not to lose it. Head to the 4th platform from the spade card egg and this platform will be sitting in the middle of the lava with a pile of skulls on it, go under it in the lava, and press B to spit his fireball in the middle of this platform. This will open up an entrance to a secret area full of rewards and an exit that says "SKIP", if you head through skip it will bring you to a secret level 1-A that is in the middle of the ocean.
