Gif 1 shows a montage of several monsterous heads that act as the game’s levels turning to face the audience.

Gif 2 shows two panning shots of level areas. One is of several brightly colored birds standing on branches. Another shot focuses on a gold chest next to a stack of gold coins.

Gif 3 shows a brightly colored level that resembles a bathroom. A second scene cuts to a close-up of the shower curtain in the level. The curtain pulls back to reveal a person sitting in the bathtub as the shower runs.

Gif 4 shows two scenes. One is of a yellow monster head turning towards the audience and opening its mouth. The second scene shows the back of the head, which resembles the inside of a sea vessel as it is being flooded with water.
