Anilization of Name
The "general view" of the words Dust Hill could bring to mind a desert area hot and sandy, not a dark cavern such as Mystic Cave Zone. This is why it's often thought to be the unreleased desert level that can be seen in some early concept art. Although Brenda Ross has never used the name "Dust Hill" for her desert, she does think the name was intended for this desert level as she stated in the first interview conducted by Deviance and in the second interview conducted by Wetflame.
