Fourth Section
Walk onto the bridge and you’ll find three bomb-throwing enemies. Attack them and continue. Grab the star lever and go ahead. You’ll starta miniboss fight with Moundo.
How To Defeat Moundo
Moundo acts similarly to when you faced it the first time. Itjumps up into the air and slams into the ground, hoping to squash Kirby.
It also runs across the stage, aiming to catch you in its path - when it does this and misses, it crashes into the edge of the stage. You canuse this opportunity to do some damage.
Additionally,it spins across the ground, but you can easily dodge this by jumping up.
The Bomb Copy Ability is helpful for this fight, asyou can roll the bombs at Moundo from a distance, and then jump when it charges for you.
If you didn’t grab this from the secret star door earlier, you canget the Copy Ability from the enemies just before you enter the boss room.
When it’s down, keep hitting it toreceive the Stone Copy Ability.
Continue right and pull the star lever to leave.
Run across the bridge. You’ll seean Energy Sphere below you, but you can’t reach it. However, there are three wooden stumps ahead you can slam using the Stone Copy Ability.
Only slam the first two wooden stumps. Slamming the last will make more blocks appear, preventing you from reaching the Energy Sphere.
Continue to the end anddrop downbelow, thenbacktrack to reach the Energy Sphere.
Go right until you see the star lever. Pull it to fall down to the star door.
Fifth Section
Head right and go down two levels. An enemy will appear from a star portal —grab its Flare Beam Super Ability. Activate the ability, thenmove the ball of light over each of the stars in the room. This will cause a platform below you to move, allowing you to reach more stars.
Go right and up into the next room.Use your ability again to light up the starsand attack the enemies here, then grab thestars and stamp ticketbelow you.
Use your ability to destroy the enemies and blocksdown the path to the right, and you’ll reach another room with stars to light up. Destroy the enemies first, then light up the stars.Grab the food, then take the ladder down. Follow the path right and grab the star lever.
Light up all the stars here anda star portal will appear.Go inside.
The wall comes from behind you on the left, so quickly head right. Inhale the block andexpel it to destroy the bomb block. Continue ahead, then inhale the blocks behind you.
Wait for the moving platform to reveal the bomb block, then expel the blocks to hit it. The blocks above you will clear, so go up here.
Inhale a block in the next area, andjump to expel it at the bomb block. Time it so you don’t hit thespiked enemy floating in front of it. Continue ahead.
Once again, inhale a block and aim it at the bomb block. You’ll need tojump and time it rightto avoid the moving platform.
Go in the newly cleared path. On the moving platform, inhale one of the blocks, and expel it at the bomb block as you go up. Go across the top. Again, inhale a block, and expel it at the bomb block.
Stand on top of the pile of blocksand jump to aim directly at the bomb block.
Continue across. At the next moving platform, inhale a few blocks and expel themat the remaining blocks to hit the bomb block behind them. Go up, past the spiked enemy, to continue.
Inhale the final block and expel it to the bomb block to reveal the star door.
Sphere Doomer Boss Fight
Jump onto the moving platform. You’ll have the choice of theStone or Parasol Copy Abilities.
The Parasol gives you a lot more freedom of movement, as the Stone is restricted to slamming enemies from above or when you’re stationary.
Go ahead to begin the battle with theSphere Doomer.
How To Defeat The Sphere Doomer
This boss fight takes placeon a moving platform, which is the main thing you’ll need to be aware of. When you’re jumping, verify you’ll land where the platform is.
This alsomakes the Stone Copy Ability a bad choice, as you can easily activate the ability and sink down into the abyss. The Parasol, however, lets you float.
The Sphere Doomer uses all its typical moves:throwing projectiles at you and charging at youfrom all directions.
It also has anew movehere. Similar to when it stops and discharges energy, it will producefour balls and each of these will discharge energy, hurting Kirby on impact. Make sure to stay out of the way of these.
Hit the Sphere Doomer whenever you can in between its attacks, and you’ll soon defeat it.Grab the two Energy Spheresand head right to the star portal to return to the main stage.
Go right and go up the ladder.Jump into the cannonand you’ll be blasted all the way to the final star door.
