This level begins with a cannon overhead, situated on a bar. You can jump in and slide left or right a short distance. Meanwhile, overhead, blocks form a barrier through which you can't shoot. There's still an opening, but it moves left and right. You have to slide your cannon into position, then fire through the opening and crash through some larger brown blocks overhead. Doing so will launch you to another cannon, where you can repeat the same process again, then again with a third cannon. Finally, you'll launch automatically along a series of cannons before reaching a door at the top of the area.
Through that door, you'll find a horizontal area with some enemies and a block obstruction. Break through it while avoiding the Cutter blade the guy in the background throws at you. Hop onto a 3D Warpstar and ride to that background. Work your way right, through more blocks, avoiding more Cutter blade tosses as you go (this time from enemies in the foreground). At the far right side of the area, ride a star to the foreground, then work your way left to find a Keychain. Return to the right from there and hit a bomb block that is guarded by a bear, which reveals a doorway. Enter it.
In this area, you find a magical pen. When you pick it up, Kirby points toward the background, as if he is carrying one of the mobile cannons. As you move to the right, the pen tip can take out any enemies or switches you find. You can advance to the right, avoiding attacks and taking out enemies with the pen tip. The switches also clear your path to advance, so make them a priority. If you get to the far right in good shape, you can poke a background switch to clear an obstacle to the right, revealing the stage's first Sun Stone. Grab it, then go through the nearby door.
You can head up to the left here and gulp down an enemy to gain the Stone ability, which you can then use to slide along the ledges leading to the right (pressing B and Down will let you convert to a handy block for that purpose). Continue along ledges and hop on a 3D Warpstar to find yourself working your way right in the background area. As it starts to descend, note that there's a passage easy to miss to your upper right. Float up and pass through that narrow opening to the right to find an enemy guarding a Sun Stone. Grab that loot, then head back left and ride a 3D Warpstar that takes you into the foreground. Start to descending again, but float up as you progress to find a Keychain to your upper right. Once you grab that, descend again to reach a glowing doorway, which you should enter.
Continuing right through here, you can convert into a block to destroy more enemies. Watch out for the cannons in the foreground. As you proceed, look also for a crumbling portion of wall, near one of the cannons. You can demolish it to provide an opening. Press left through that opening to find a hidden doorway. It grants access to a puzzle room, but you need the Fire ability. Get it from an enemy positioned on a ledge near the door, then enter the doorway to find a puzzle.
To solve this puzzle, you have to set a rope on fire and then move a block by sliding your handheld as Kirby hops into a cannon. The block you can move needs to start from the far left side of the available space, then slide all the way to the right to connect with a rope in that direction. Then you need to slide the block back left and wait for the fire to burn around so that it is progressing along a vertical path. Now slide it back to the right to connect with the final rope. The cannon will fire you through an overhead block and you'll collect a Sun Stone. Enter the nearby door.
Continue right here, past a few more enemies and some bomb blocks you can easily activate. You'll reach a 3D Warpstar along the far right side of the area. Ride it and then you're in the foreground. Look left to see a cannon, or right to see some ledges you can ascend. Float up and around the cannon and then let yourself descend through a gap to the left. As you drop, you'll see the Rare Keychain: Masked Dedede suspended in the air to the right. Collect it without dropping too low and then return to where you entered this chamber. Hop up the ledges and you'll find the stage's goal door.
