AND THEY USE THE NARRATIVE OF RAZ GROWING UP IN THE CIRCUS AS JUSTIFICATION FOR VERY COMMON ABILITIES THAT CHARACTERS POSSESS IN OTHER 3D PLATFORMS, SUCH AS SWINGING ON H-POLES AND WALKING ON TIGHTROPES, AND IT'S ALSO USED TO INTRODUCE LATER PSY-ABILITIES SUCH AS LEVITATION, WHICH HAS RAZ BALL-BALANCE, AND USE A BALLOON AS A FLOAT MECHANIC WHICH CAN ALSO BE TIED BACK TO THE CIRCUS AS A VISUAL-

The fifth bee tried to freeze her stiff / the wasp could barely tell the diff
The sixth bee finally won the day / but lost himself along the way
The first bee took defeat the worst / they failed but she failed first
She [left to] build a tougher self / and put her kindness on the shelf
She left the hive and formed her own / but in that hive she’s all alone
Visitors she scares away / and lives there til this very day

Enjoy!
