However, it’s not always clear just where to find all the items and collectibles, which is why we’ve outlined them all here in this walkthrough. Follow this as you go around the pipes of Egg Engines, and you’ll find all the items in no time.
First Section
As soon as you enter this stage, you’ll drop down a narrow passage and land in water.The water has a strong currentrunning through it, so you’ll be taken along to the right.
Allow the water flow to take youaround. Collect any stars you see on the way andwatch out for the spiked enemiesthat are in the bottom area. There’sa red star to collectnear the last spiked enemy too.
The current will take you directly to the star door. Go in here.
Second Section
Go right and drop down a level.It’s dark in this section, so be careful. Drop down the ledges below and follow the arrow right. There’s an enemy here you cantake the Fire Copy Ability from.
Continue right and attack any enemies you see. When you have the option to go up or down,go down first to grab a star. Then, go up. Attack the enemy, thengrab the stars and candle above you. You’ll now be able to see better.
Take the candle right.Drop down three levels here. There’s a sleeping enemy on the level below, sogo left and drop down thereinstead.
You can also receivea grape on this path. At the bottom, go right and up to continue along the passage.
Above the enemy, there are blocks you can break.Drop the candle to attack the enemy and the blocks. Go along the secret path tograb a red star and the Hammer Copy Ability. Drop back down and continue right.
Drop down two ledges, then continue following the path down. Drop your candle, then go right anduse your Hammer Copy Ability to smash the blocksand grab the Energy Sphere.
Go back to pick up your candle again and continue left.Drop to the level belowto collect a stamp ticket and stars. Jump up at the end and continue going left. Go down the ledges.
You’ll see a star door ahead,but don’t go in. Attack the snail enemy in the way andsmash the blocks at the end.
If you go through the first star door,you’ll miss a collectible.
Jump down and you’ll be taken through another water current,leading to another star door. Go in here.
Third Section
You’ll arrive in another underwater section that pushes Kirby ahead.Use your Hammer Copy Ability to destroy all the blocks and enemiesin your path. Make sure to dodge the spinning, spiked poles just ahead.
Just beyond them, you’ll seean Energy Sphere in the center of two rows of anemone enemies. Swim through to pick it up.
Smash the next set of blocks. There aremoving platforms with spikes on the bottomhere. Wait for the first to rise up, thenswim to the safe gap in the middle. Wait for the next one to rise before swimming through again, and do the same with the next one.
Keep swimming, and you’ll see two Copy Abilities above you and a full HP restore. Choose between theParasol and Fighter Copy Abilitiesbefore going through the star door on the right.
Fourth Section
Once again, you’ll arrive in a current of water. Either continue swimming in the current or jump onto a platform above to walk. Continue right past the enemies, and you’ll beginan encounter with the Kibble Blade.
How To Defeat The Kibble Blade
The Kibble Blade minibossregularly throws its blade at you. Jump or step back to avoid it. Alternatively, jump over the blade and run towards it tohit it before the blade comes back.
It will alsocharge at you using the blade on its helmet. As soon as it begins to charge,jump into the air and behind it. You canhit it while it still charging in the opposite directionand after it crashes.
Keep hitting the Kibble Blade whenever you have the opportunity, and you’ll defeat it. You’ll gain theCutter Copy Abilityin return. Grab the Copy Ability and follow the arrow right.
You’ll see a star button on the other end of a cylinder of water. The current is too strong to swim across diagonally, souse the Cutter Copy Ability to hit it from a distance.
This can be tricky, and charging up the Ability doesn’t quite reach the button. Instead, you’ll need toaim the blade left, then curve its direction to goabove and behind Kirbyto hit the button.
This removes the blocks to the left, revealingtwo food items and an Energy Sphere. Grab these before going to the star door on the right.
Fifth Section
Destroy the blocksin front of you to continue through the water. Again, the current is strong here. Rather than going straight ahead between the two enemies,drop down below to collect red and yellow stars.
Continue right and the current will take you along. When the current takes you to the top and you see three anemone enemies in a row along the ceiling next to blocks,destroy the blocksand continue right.
Follow the current and you’ll reach a room with the star door through a passage on the right.Don’t go in here yet.
Stay as far away from the right side of the room as possible toavoid being pulled into the currentand through the passage.
If you do end up being pulled into the room on the right,you’ll need to restart the stage to find all the collectibles.
Instead,go down the passage at the bottomof the room. The current will take you to a room with red and yellow stars, as well as anEnergy Sphere.
Take the current on the right and return to where you originally saw the star door. Go inside.
Sixth Section
Destroy the blocks directly ahead of you, butbe mindful of the fishwaiting to swallow you directly behind them. Swim up and along the passage.Hit the bomb block below on the right, avoiding the fish here too. Go through the passage that just opened up.
Follow the current around and destroy the next set of blocks. There’s another fish behind them, so be careful.Swim beneath it to the next area. Here, you’ll need toswim up to collect stars and dodge the fishthat come both from the bottom and from the ceiling.
At the last fish, you’ll see a bomb block and blocks preventing you from continuing. However, there’s alsoa star door that the fish covers when it pops out. Wait for it to retract and go inside.
You’ll find yourself in a dark room where you can swim.Swim up and jump onto the ledge. On the left, there’s an Energy Sphere behind a locked door that you can’t open just yet. Go right. At the end of this passage,inhale the enemy to obtain the Spark Copy Ability.
Shoot electricity upwards to hit the bomb blockand receive a candle.
Take the candle and turn back. You’ll see two more bomb blocks you can hit, butthe one closest to the locked door will grant you the key. Hit this bomb block and take the key to the door toreceive the Energy Sphere.
Drop back down to the star door where you entered.
Back in the main stage, hit the bomb block ahead of you andthe current will lead you directly to the final star door.
Before heading in,destroy the blocks on the leftto grab a stamp ticket.
