To help you find the most fruitful pathways (i.e. the ones with the items) we’ll walk you through it, and make sure you don’t miss anything in this section. You’ll also learn how to defeat the boss, King Doo, near the end of this stage.
First Section
As you go up the steps,avoid or attack the Waddle Dees that make their way down. A few steps up, a stone enemy will appear, so attack or dodge it too. You’ll come to some blocks you can break to access stars and a cherry to restore some HP.
At the top, there’s a row of bouncing enemies you can attack too. Head up the ladder, and about halfway up,you’ll see a bomb block.
Attack this, and it will destroy the blocks belowat the beginning of the ladder, allowing you to collect a red star and other normal stars.
Go back up the ladder, and you’ll spot a stamp ticket and two red stars on the right, seemingly inaccessible. Go up a little further, andthere’s a gap in the wall, where you can see stars. Go in here. There’s a ladder at the end you can go down to reach the stamp ticket and red stars.
Head back up the way you came, continuing up the ladder. There’san enemy in front of the star door, so dispatch it and then go through to the next area.
Second Section
There are two pathways up to choose from here. The left-hand side has an enemy, whereasthe right-hand side has items, so go right.
Now, there are three ladders to choose from. Once you go up, you’re able to’t go down again, so choose wisely.
The far left has a star and Life-Up, so choose that one. Go up the final ladder to reach the star door.
Third Section
The platform ahead of you moves up and down.At its lowest, it reveals all the stars, so wait until it’s low to collect them all. There’s a knight enemy at the top to dispose of. Continue up the steps to the top andavoid the cannon shooting cannonballs. There’s another moving platform. Wait for it to lower so you can reach the red star.
Continue up andwatch out for the large cannon shooting big cannonballs. Jump over it and up the next section, where there are more enemies and a regular cannon. Go past these and onto the moving platform.
There’s a large cannon at the top, anda block you’re able to swallow below it. Drop any Copy Ability you have equipped to swallow the block and go into the newly opened area. You’ll get theTornado Copy Ability.
Destroy the blocks ahead and above you, thenfloat up to grab the Energy Sphere.
Head back the way you came and avoid the two large cannons as you climb to the top. Continue upwards, and there are more blocks to remove. Just before the star door, you candestroy blocks above you to gain food items. Then jump on the moving platform to enter the star door.
Fourth Section
Jump up two platforms to gain theHi-Jump Copy Ability. Use this to plow through enemies upwards.
Keep towards the middle of the area, and you’ll reach an Energy Sphere. You’ll have to go back down to continue on up the left or right side.
At the top,mind the spiked enemiesas you pass through the narrow passageway going up. You’ll find the star door at the end.
King Doo Boss Fight
Here, you’re able to choose betweenthe Cutter or Fire Copy Abilities. Make your choice and go up. Hit the box with tomato on it to regain your health, then continue up to enter the boss arena.
How To Defeat King Doo
King Doo willcharge at you, swing a beam of light, or shoot beams at you. He’s fairly slow moving, and you’ll see him charge up the beam of light attack, so you may quickly jump behind him to hit him.
When he charges at you and misses,he’ll crash, which is the ideal opening for you to attack. Use this opportunity to get some hits in, then retreat before he starts moving again.
When he’s down, you cancontinue hitting him to gain the Beam Copy Ability.
Follow the arrows upwards and jump into the cannon. You’ll be fired into a second, and then onto another area.
Swing your Beam sword to hit the bomb block here— it will reveal an Energy Sphere, a Life-Up, a red star, and lots of normal stars. Collect these and head up to the star door.
Fifth Section
Jump into the cannon, and you’ll be shot upwards. Here, you’ll need to select when to shoot out of the cannon. If you want an Energy Sphere,follow the red stars, then head back down.
Aim straight upwards, and you’ll land in between two large cannons shooting fireballs.Time it right so that Kirby doesn’t get blasted. Wait until the path is free before going ahead.
At the top,go to the left to retrieve a stamp ticket. Then, head right to the final star door.
