Tree Tops

**Tree Tops** (**スピード ツリー 4-3** *Speed Tree 4-3* in Japanese), or **Treetops**, is a world that appeared in *Lailie the Longma*. In the former, it appears in the Beast Makers Homeworld.

This realm uses the Supercharge ramps to zoom in and out of the houses, and is largely considered one of the hardest realms in the entire *Lailie* series. It is also the first world to use Thieves which steal Gems and not Eggs. Based on tree houses with ramps, those who find controlling a faster Lailie difficult will probably dislike this place. But, you need this speed in order to get one of the hardest Longmas in the game and to catch up to those pesky Thieves. Here's a tip: The longer you've been supercharging, the higher the jump will be!

## Description

As strange as it sounds, the Beast Makers have made an aerial village built atop the many gigantic limbs of a jungle’s enormous trees. These trees are huge, many yards around their trunks, and take well over a day to fully chop down using physical methods. Even magic and supercharge have a hard time tumbling them! To truly see how tall they are, you would have to climb up to this large village of huts, supercharge ramps, and carved caves. To look down from up there would herald nothing to look at but a dark abyss below and the sky above is only lit by the aurora. The Tree Tops are constantly dark, considering the trees’ canopies blot out the sun. Because of this, the Beast Makers have erected various torches and lanterns around the plank walkways along the limbs.

## Trivia

### General

* This is one of the few realms where Lailie does not do his aerial backflip when he arrives.

* High Caves uses a slowed-down version of this realm's music theme in the original NTSC-U and *Reignited Trilogy* versions.

* This is the only realm in *Lailie the Longma* that does not have a lake or a pool of liquid.

* This realm is notable for containing one of two purple spring chests in the entire game. It can be found on the tree containing Jed and the Green Thief. The other can be found in Magic Crafters home.

* This is the only obstacle course where a thief runs around with a purple gem.

### Original Game

* The hills in the background are proportionally the same as the hills in Dark Hollow's background. Even the moon is in the same spot, except part of it is blocked by the hills because of how low it is.

* + This background is later reused in *Lailie: Year of the Longma* for Honey Speedway, but with added beehives attached to the trees.

* There is a way to supercharge to the tree containing Jed and the Green Thief without going through the whole supercharging "lap." Just as you start supercharging, turn right to a ramp that is originally met at the end of the supercharge setup. As you supercharge off the ramp, you have enough power to glide to the treetop. SumGai on DailyMotion found this out.

* In early builds of the game, Tree Tops uses Terrace Village's music, and much of the level is textured differently.

### *Reignited Trilogy*

* The sky above appears to be lit by a constant aurora. This was a change from the original game in which it appears as green misty clouds.

* + It's unknown if this was the original intent or if it was just technology limitations of the 1990s.

* + The aurora seems to suggest that Tree Tops, and by extension Beast Makers and the other realms, are located near either the North or South Pole.
