In this entry, we start off World 4!
World 4: Cloudy Park
World 4-1
The first section is dead simple. You can get Rick in the next room. The game lets you use different animal friends in the even-numbered sections.
The third section is the in-game debut of Scarfy. Y'know, the flying guy whose face resembles an angry cyclops as he chases after you for trying to inhale him? Yeah, him. Also, you can get Nago in the next room.
The fifth section has Gordos and those guys with the skeleton heads. I swear, they remind me of the Skull Mousers on Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, except they don't throw bones at you. You can get Pitch after this.
In the seventh section, you'll enter a cave-like area that soon start automatically scrolling once you approach it. Be sure to get down quickly after you fly up to get the Pep Brew above the entrance. Avoid the boulders. Also, there's a fake Kirby above the exit here. The heck?
The next room lets you get Chuchu, if you want her for some reason.
The ninth section has you going to the right. You can get a bunch of stars here, as well as a Maxim Tomato. You can choose Kine or Coo afterwards.
The eleventh section has more boulders. Avoid the boulders by utilizing the hideaway spots along the path. The twelfth and final section leads to the goal and has the flowers for this world. To get the Heart Star here, you'll have to get here with both Coo and the Broom ability, and clean the dust off of the flowers.
World 4-2
This stage takes place in the clouds. Boy howdy, do the bright white colors make this so confusing. Once you mess with your monitors' contrast settings enough, though, you won't feel like you're snowblind. You can get the Ice ability in the first section, before choosing between Nago, Pitch and Chuchu in the next.
The third section has holes in the ground with air currents that take you upwards. The fourth is the same, but has more of them as well as those purple pterodactyls. The fifth and sixth sections are similar: there are some deep dips in the ground, and while they may not have holes in them, they're pretty hard to see through.
The seventh section is some basic "run to the right" action where those one-eyed toothy fish return, and the final room where the goal is has a chick holding on to a balloon for dear life. Pop the balloon with the Needle ability to save the chick and get the Heart Star for this stage!
World 4-3
It's raining! The first section is pretty straightforward, but you'll get the chance to swim around in the second one. Also, putting the rain clouds that attack you with droplets of water is a nice touch, even though they die when they enter the water. Strange. I also love the movement on the top of the water, too.
The third section has the green slime balls that shoot you in certain directions, which you'll be able to use to get to the door in seconds.
When you get there, you'll meet some guy who's red, yellow and blue. You'll see a bunch of Gordos in multiple colors. They'll either be red, blue, yellow or black. This guy will then ask how many Gordos of a certain color there were, so you'd better be paying attention! It also gets much quicker on the third attempt, so you have to be ready to count as quickly as possible. You'll get the Heart Star after three consecutive correct guesses.
The next section is autoscrolling, and will take you to the goal.
