I mean sliding on stomach.

ropes to swing on

YES!

The most difficult thing would be the camera (this might actually take some serious work, now that I think about it) and possibly controls.

IDEA: Ladders, ropes to swing on, sliding on ink instead of rolling. A level for christmas would be fancy pants riding a sleigh and having to jump and duck over obstacles.

I like the whole " anti pants hates FP cos he thinks he should be wearing his fancy pants"
how about this: fancy pants's great great great great great great grandad bought the pants from a pawn dealer for 100 squiggles, and the family has been handing them down to the first born male in each generation. But FPM and APM are twins, and FPMs dad gave it to the son he thought most worthy. (Which was fpm) apm got really angry and tried to steal fpm's pants, but was foiled. Out of anger at apms disloyalty, His father banished him from the household and the family tree. Apm was no longer a part of the family. Apm thought it was fpm's fault that he did not have the pants and wasn't part of the family anymore, not his own evil ways. He has had a grudge ever since.
And now, he has come back to take what is rightfully his(that's what he says anyway )

Dispite what I said in my last post, I now like the Idea of a level where you are getting chased by apm. Except at the end cutscene, instead of jumping of cliff, I think the mayor should fly you away, and apm would just stand there and shake his fist.

BEST IDEA YET! On the first level of world 4, fancy pants encounters anti-pants. Ever sense the beginning of fancy pants anti-pants has been his worst enemy. For anti-pants thinks he should be the one wearing those "fancy pants". Anti-Pants then starts to chase fancy pants. The whole level is fancy pants running, wall-jumping, and bouncing on enemies, being chased from anti-pants. When fancy pants gets close to the end of the level. The level goes to a cutscene of fancy pants running then then stoping for he has reached the edge of a cliff. Anti-Pants is gaining on fancy pants. Suddenly the the mayor fly's over to fancy pants saying. "JUMP, THERES NOT ENOUGH TIME FANCY PANTS". You are now in control in fancy pants and you jump down the cliff. Fancy pants land on a branch near the bottom of the cliff. Another cutscene happens, the screen goes up to the top of the cliff were anti-pants stops. Knowing that he will die if he jumps off. He quickly pulls his hang glider out and fly's away. Level complete.

LOVE the part in bold.

Anyway, I think there should be ninjas hiding in trees and sand. There would be subtle differences in texture where the ninjas are concealed, like a dark patch of sand or a large grouping of leaves. when you got to close to the ninjas, the would burst out and attack you. If you got taken by surprise, it would be quite effective.

I also think there should be some kind of enemy that is big and muscly, and is carrying a plank with a nail in or a baseball bat. he would swing at you when you got too near, and if he hit you, you would take massive damage and be sent flying. if he missed you would be free to retaliate.

Fancy pants riding a skateboard would be cool, and It goes well with the whole momentum based gameplay. you could use it for recreation in a fancy skate park, with half pipes and jumps and stuff, or you could have special levels scattered through the main storyline that are skateboard only.
To control it, we should have something like this- left and right arrow to change direction, down to push the skateboard in the direction you are facing. S would be jump.

The aerial controls- left and right would be back/front flip, S would be swap directions, (for half pipes)

if anti-pants doesn't like pants, why does he wear it then? He should be wearing trousers or something else. Or you can make his pants less fancy. I don't know.

Or, he could wear a SHIRT instead...
