It's time to tackle World 5!
Level 5: Iceberg
World 5-1
The first section is straightforward, while in the second section you'll have plenty of opportunities to get Fire and Stone. You'll definitely want to get the Fire ability for the next section.
The third section has frozen flowers. Use the Fire ability to unfreeze them. Be careful not to squash them after you thaw them out! You'll get the Heart Star at the end for this. You can also choose between Pitch and Rick in the room halfway through this section.
The fourth section has a lot of snowmen that can give you the Ice ability, and the last section has a lot of bats and guys in ghost rags.
World 5-2
The picture for this level is that of a Metroid. Apparently, these are part of the Heart Star requirement.
The first section is a snowy hill that slowly moves you to the right like a conveyor belt. The second section is autoscrolling and is very shaky. This is because of the large clouds coming towards you. They'll be too close for comfort near the end, but you'll reach the door to the next section just in time. At least the clouds don't kill you, but they do obscure whatever they cover up.
The third section is a volcanic cave. You can choose between Nago and Pitch shortly after entering by going into the first door. The second door contains a Metroid. If you have the Ice ability, you can freeze it and then walk into it to send it into a wall to destroy it. This is the only way to defeat the Metroids, and doing this to all of them in the level will award you the Heart Star. The third door in this section will have two Metroids, and the fourth will have three. Once you've beaten all six, you'll complete the requirement.
After a room full of those yellow fish monsters (where you can pick up some Pep Brews and heal Kirby if you really need to), you'll get another autoscrolling segment where you have to deal with those pesky clouds again. When you make it to the exit, you'll get the Heart Star from Samus Aran. She will also be unmasked it you complete the requirement. Nice touch there, HAL.
World 5-3
You'll be able to get an opportunity to pick between Pitch, Coo and Nago halfway through the first section, where you'll meet a new enemy: a mole rolling a snowball at you. Even if you defeat the guy rolling the snowball somehow, the snowball still damages you when you touch it.
If you step on the ice blocks, they'll melt under you weight and eventually
The second section takes place in an ice cave. When you enter it, the screen will start automatically scrolling once again. You'll see boulders rolling toward you in the water near the end.
The third section has Gordos. This time around, they'll move through the ice floors and walls. Also, I swear, the translucent solid walls and floors seem to blend in with the backgrounds at times.
The fourth section is the minigame featuring Chef Kawasaki from Kirby Super Star. Five Gordos will drop, and each one will make a sound. Kawasaki will whack the Gordo next to him with his pan, which will match the sound that one of the Gordos made. You'll have to choose which Gordo originally made that noise. After three correct guesses, you'll get the Heart Star at the end of the stage.
The last section is pretty simple, really. You'll finally see the icicles that have appeared in previous games here.
World 5-4
The first two sections are a run to the right. The first one is pretty simple, but the second one is a downward slope interspersed with bats and guys running around in sheets.
The third section has you standing on breakaway blocks, which allow you to drop the door below. Swallow one of the fire dragons, and you'll be able to use the Fire ability to break through the ice blocks and find two more doors at the bottom. You'll find an animal friend in each one.
The fourth section has spiked columns made of ice that slowly float upwards before pounding the ground.
The fifth section has you outrunning icicles. If you have Coo (from the left door in the third section) and the Fire ability, this is really easy.
The sixth section is an upward climb to the top. It appears that the snowballs can be handled just like the boulders that roll after you from Level 3. Just use Fire to get past them unscathed.
The seventh section has those yellow, toothy fish. Tread with caution. If you have the Fire ability, you can destroy them, believe it or not. You'll just have to hit them at the right time.
For the eighth section, you'll be burning through even more blocks with the Fire ability. The ninth has even more, and you'll be using Chuchu and the Fire ability to go up and break the blocks above you at the same time.
In the ninth section, break through all the blocks to the right of Pitch and enter the door on the other side. You'll find a big snail shell. Move into it to pick it up. You'll be able to get the Heart Star for this stage at the end. It appears you're trying to find a snail's shell.
The door at the bottom here will take you to a mini-boss fight with a featureless snowman, save for the eyes. He'll shoot copies of his head at you, and they will stick to the wall and floor. Spit at least one of these heads back at the mini-boss. Of course, since you probably still have the Fire ability handy for whatever else that includes ice blocks, you'll use that to plow through the snowman. The snowman will move and jump around, but it's really predictable and easy to avoid. This mini-boss will give you the Ice ability if you wish to swallow it.
The next two sections are more or less enemy-filled runs to the right.
