Switching between Adventure and Platformer in Same Game

Hey all,

I apologize if this has been asked before but I honestly didn't know what to search for so here goes. I'm sure it's a lot easier said than done, but how difficult is it currently to switch between an overhead adventure style game to a side scroller platformer type of game like Zelda 2 and Star Wars did?

On a kind of related note, how would I go about changing the appearance of the player in between levels? Sort of like Mario where he changes colors and grows, except I'd want to do it in between levels. So level 1, my character would look young and short, and level 2 he'd be older and taller. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
 
From what I understand, you'd have to dig pretty deep into the code, and basically build a "hybrid" module,
which I believe would be easier to accomplish in 4.1.
