Kirby: Triple Deluxe Guide > Story Mode > Wild World - Stage 5

Descend along the shaft where the level begins, watching the cannons in the background. They fire large, flaming balls that you need to avoid as you open chests for stars. As you near the bottom of the area, you'll find four chests side by side. The far right of those contains a Keychain. Grab it, then drop down through the ledge near the center of the shaft and keep descending to find a doorway that you should enter.

In the next chamber, work right and spend most of your time in the air. You can leap along the platforms if you prefer, which work like two-sided scales (meaning one side raises as the other lowers in response). Near the far right side of the passage, you'll find a 3D Warpstar. Ride it to the background, take out the enemy, then return to the foreground and hop onto the platform to your right. You can stand on it until it reaches its lower point. Then ride the 3D Warpstar into the background and drop through the opening you created to the right. Open the treasure chest to find a Sun Stone. Then head left from there to reach the doorway to the next portion of the stage.

Through the doorway, you'll reach a room with a cannon overhead. Jump into it, tilt your handheld left, and fire up the shaft through the brown block. You can open that chest for a red star, then drop down to the cannon and this time fire up the shaft of the right. Keep advancing by way of cannon until you pass a room with stone star formations. In the next area, you can ride a cannon left and right, and there's another cannon along a track at the top of the room that points down toward large blocks. In the center of a room, you can fire up a shaft to access a cannon that will lead you onward. Before you do that, break the large brown blocks along the left and right sides of the corridor. The left one contains a Keychain. Then go ahead and launch into the cannon at the center of the screen, which blasts you toward the foreground. You'll automatically be launched right from there, clearing two brown blocks and revealing a doorway. Enter it.

You're now able to open Beam and Spark capsules, and then advance further right along the passageway toward a mini-boss. You'll be tossed an Assist Star, and you can drop down through that ledge to find some explosives, which you can quickly pick up and carry to the right to more easily defeat the upcoming foe.



Mini-Boss: Flame Galbaros


You can totally cheese this fight by tossing the explosives you picked up to the left. They'll destroy the blocks that provide a bridge over a pit. If you stand to the left of that pit, Flame Galbaros will approach and hop directly into the pit. Otherwise, you can fight him the normal way, as usual.



Past the Flame Galbaros, you'll find a door you can enter. Do so and you'll arrive in a horizontal passage with a Fire enemy ahead of you. Gulp him down and use his ability to burn bushes. When you find the circling spider, toast it and then drop through the ledge and burn some grass away to reveal a Key. Pick it up and carry it right. Hop on the 3D Warpstar and ride to the background, then open the nearby gate to gain access to a chest that contains a Sun Stone.

Work your way left from there, and be ready to burn some enemies. One likes to rise from a clump of brush, so toast it and then burn away the brush to reveal a hidden door. Through that door, you'll find a puzzle room. You need to adjust the platforms so that they rise and lower and allow you to ride a 3D Warpstar into the background and grab a Key, which you then need to carry to the upper left portion of that background area. There's a mushroom enemy hopping on one of the ledges, so start by riding the star into the background and eliminating that distraction. Then hop on the right of the two lifts in the background and ride it down as far as you can. Now return to the foreground and stand on the left platform, which rises the left one in the background. Return to the background and drop through the opening. Pick up the key and hop up onto the right platform. From there, hop your way left up the makeshift stairs to reach the gate. Pass through it and open the chest to obtain a Sun Stone.

Exit the puzzle room and continue left through the main corridor with the brush. Enter the next door and you'll find yourself in a sandy area, where you are slowly conveyed toward the right. There's a Mobile Cannon sitting on a ledge. You need to advance quickly to the right now, with the cannon firing. You can destroy numerous obstacles along the way to drop chests onto the sand, where they will slide toward pits. You need to stay ahead of them, hopping on 3D Warpstars to change between the background and foreground, moving as steadily as you can while opening chests. In this manner, you can destroy the blocks in a large chamber and drop a bunch of chests to the sand, then open them to find a Sun Stone and the Rare Keychain: Marx.

Once you have those goodies, there's a glowing doorway just to the right that you can enter. Pass through it and fly to the upper right side of the next chamber for an easy Keychain. Then descend and ride a 3D Warpstar to the foreground. Head left past an enemy in the brush to find the stage's goal door positioned on a high ledge.
