In this entry, we meet Gordos, get re-introduced to Coo and Kine, and get a Heart Star.
World 1-4
The grey clouds drop raindrops on you, while the big Kaboos are...well...big Kaboos. The big Kaboos spit regular-sized clones of themselves at you as an attack. The bats swoop down at you.
The green bird you see in the second section makes it debut here, even though most players first saw this enemy in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. It will throw the spiky crown on its head at you as a boomerang, and will also fly around.
The green balls of slime with the smiley faces shoot you in another direction, taking you through blocks and letting you access other areas.
You'll also see an enemy that hides behind the wall and attacks you with a small white ball. You can get rid of him whenever he comes out of hiding. Just wait for him to come back out.
For the uninitiated, the red tomato with the M on it is the Maxim Tomato. This will completely restore your health.
In the third section, take the lower path and go into the water. You'll find a door to the right. The fireball mini-boss isn't that hard at all. All it does is run into the wall and lose its fire, which transforms into a ball that Kirby can spit at the mini-boss. When you defeat this mini-boss, you can swallow it to get the Fire ability. You'll also open a door. Inside is a monkey crying. Touch her, and you'll apparently take her with you.
The light brown droplets are blob-like enemies that peer up and look at you. They can be easily taken care of. Meanwhile, those sea anenomes that move up and down and spit stars out of their heads make a return appearance here. Yes, they can still stick to ceilings and walls. They're another series mainstay.
You'll also see a black stone square acting as a crusher. It smashes into the floor, goes back up to the ceiling, and repeats. Move along.
The spiked ball is the Gordo, as mentioned eariler. These things are indestructible and act as the moving spikes of the series.
After the very easy final section, you'll find out that you were supposed to return the monkey to this young girl. You'll get a Heart Star for your efforts.
NOTE: Since making the original guide, I have found out that the monkey and the girl are none other than Goku and Chao, the main protagonists of the Famicom Disk System graphic adventure Yuuyuuki.
World 1-5
Besides the Broom Hatters, Sir Kibbles and the the bouncy pink spring enemies, you'll also see those little guys with the copter blades on their heads from the second game. This time around, you can actually inhale them and spit them at other enemies.
The bridges consisting of those huge rolling logs act as a slow conveyor belt. They're not that bad, actually, since they don't seem to throw you into any sort of danger.
The first door in the second section lets you choose between Kine and Coo. Coo the Owl moves around differently in this game. To dash, you have to press B repeatedly while holding the direction you want to go. The second lets you choose between Rick and Nago.
To get the Heart Star here, you'll have to make it to the end with Kine. Notice that the pink fish looks just like Kine except for the face. That poor fish...
World 1-6
The spiders wait at the top of the screen and slowly come down once you're close enough. They can only go so low, so you can be well under them if you're low enough.
The first door you see contains Rick and Chuchu.
The second section has you walking around in a tree (in typical series fashion), and it contains black balls that turn into huge spiders. They aren't that menacing, but their legs are pretty long. You can still suck them up, though. There's also a lot of trees you can see through. If you're playing on an emulator that is bad at the transparency effects, though, it's going to be pretty difficult going through this area.
The third section introduces you to the archers. They jump up and shoot an arrow downwards at you. You can find Coo and Nago in the door in the middle of this section.
The fourth secton has triangle-shaped enemies that revolve around trees in an attempt to poke you with their faces. I wish I was making this up. You can use them as ammunition against other enemies, thankfully.
To get the Heart Star for this stage, you'll have to look around the level to find three enemies that the clown at the end can juggle. Interestingly, they are all in the second section and shaped like blocks that are different colors and shapes. You have the orange cicle, the green triangle and the blue rectangle.
Boss 1: Whispy
Whispy's back as the first boss in the game. *sigh* Old friends (or enemies) never die. Just inhale the fruits that Whispy spits out and send them back at him. At least he has more than just the apples this time around.
What's that? He MOVES when you bring him down to half health? Okay, now that's impressive.
He still spits the fruit out as he chases after you, it just goes farther before dropping to the ground. With that being said, it's not that much more difficult. He sure is getting tired of being the initial punching bag of the game, though.
When Kirby dances, he no longer has the clones of himself with him. That's a shame, because I and a zillion other fans love the Kirby clones.
After the battle, jump into the Warp Star and you'll head to World 2.
