So finally some kind of convincing theory about the big dot levels was proposed: they contain a secret exit that leads, eventually, to fortresses: canilla dome 1 eventually leads to vanilla fortress, forest of Illusion 1 leads to forest fortress, and Valley of bowser 2 leads to Valley fortress.
The yellow big dot Vanilla Dome 3 is still a mystery, though.

33 years and the big dot levels are still a mystery

SMW is a classic. The life-transfer system is ideal.

The big dot levels in SMW.
It's not related to the size of the level, not related to amount of coins or amount of exits, or time limit.
Still a mystery.

As far as I know, nobody knows why some levels in SMW have bigger dots on the map.
It's not amount of secret exits, it's not level size, it's not amount of coins. A real mystery.
