I want a Keen Dreams patch, which is the following.
If you start a new game (easy, normal or hard mode), you immediately jump to the first level instead of the worldmap level. Moreover, if you completed a level, you jump to the next level (including the place holder levels - Level 6,8,11 and 13 - as well)
Level-theme patch
*Cricks*
If this is the case, you don't NEED to go to level 1, just make it a normal level with a normal Keen, otherwise you're just wasting it.
Now you can still die and go to level 0 (exit to Tuberia) but this too can be easily patched. (Like in Meets the Meats.)

Certainly!
This patch leaves everything as it is, you can still select options but both get you to retry the level:
Of course this is a bit stupid. So maybe we remove the 'Exit' option entirely and make it so that all the player can do is press a key to retry the level:
It is also possible to change the size of the flashing rectangle and also its color, even remove it entirely:
