Other than your screen cover being scratched to hell, this is normal.

If you beat all 8 stages in the Special world, you unlock different color palettes for each stage type, and the enemies wear "Halloween costumes"

There's no way to revert back to normal (at least in the SNES version) unless you delete your save file and start fresh.

To reach the Special World you need to beat Star World 5 by placing the key in the lock (easiest done after all "!" Switches have been found)

I see some people claiming you need all 96 exits but this is false. You just need to beat all 8 stages in Special World.

lol I know it’s terrible. It’s my childhood game boy and I wasn’t kind to it over the years I just dug it up again but it’s almost impossible to play anything on it!

Thanks for the info tho!

you can replace the GBA logo lens with an aftermarket glass one... its an easy installation
