Easy
A thoroughly enjoyable mansion and almost all the problems from the first version have been dealt with. A couple of comments:
I know this is an Easy mansion but there seem to be too many shields. Perhaps the backpack could be in one of the early rooms. For example I had to go back and find a monster to use a shield on before I could get the key in room 15511 and when I got to room 15114 I got a sixth key and therefore had no room for any shields. If the backpack was available earlier in the mansion that would give room for six keys and two shields.
In rooms 15113 and 15114 we still have the situation that if Jack loses a life he re-appears with no bat platform to ride around on. You suggested that he should return to the floor below by using the falling platforms. As it happens this works fine in this mansion but to quote an instruction in the tutorial mansion:
In room 16316 Jack can get himself into a strange place by jumping off the moving yellow platform (see picture). He isn't stuck because he can get down again but I don't think you intended him to get up there.

Unlike moving platforms, Jack can't ride falling platforms between rooms. Ride down one of these, and Jack will die!Would it be a good idea to put in a board with a message to let people know that Jack will be safe to go down this way? You suggested this before but I think I forgot to respond – sorry :-[.
