PrinceWatercress plays Kirby's Dream Land 3 - Part 3 of 14


Whispy Woods shows some new tricks, and we head to another Float Islands-esque world to continue the adventure.

First | Previous | Next | End

Boss 1: Whispy Woods

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.

World 2: Ripple Field

World 2-1

You may have probably figured this out earlier, but swallowing a Broom Hatter actually gives you the Broom ability. This is the only time where a run-of-the-mill enemy that's been in every game in the series gives you an ability. Since the ability doesn't show up again in a later game, it's also the last.

You'll need the Broom ability before you get Pitch. If you haven't already, go get it now. The next room lets you choose between Pitch and Nago. Choose Pitch. In the third section, there will be a thin white floor that you can drop under and find a door. Go in, and you'll find a plant sapling that hasn't grown yet. Combining Pitch and the Broom ability lets you shoot water balloons, so hit one with the plant to get the blue flower that signifies the first stage. Now do yourself a favor and don't step on it or attack it again, unless you want to epically screw this up.

If you ever hear a chime when you enter a room or section, you'll find something involving the requirement there.

There is another room shortly after this one that contains two of these flowers, and another one after this that contains three.

The fish under the bridge at the end will lunge out of the water and into your face. Once on land, they can spit starfish at you. You can swallow them for the Spark ability. Also worth mentioning the exploding tree nuts of doom that fall of the palm trees and explode. Yep, they're back!

World 2-2

There's a platform you can drop under and find a door. Here, you can choose between Chuchu and Kine.

The next part will take you to an all-underwater area where pipes pump out strong air currents that push you around. Kine can swim against these currents if he's tagging along.

In the final section, you'll see a door. This takes you to some yellow blob with an umbrella on his head. This guy is involved for this level's requirement. You'll have to approach him with both Kine and the Parasol ability and use the attack near him to make him happy, which awards you with the Heart Star for this level. Just hold the Y button for a second and you'll get it to work.

The crabs have extendable claws which would be more of a help if they weren't so short. They do make it harder to jump over them, so you're better off taking them out.

World 2-3

Rick has been changed around since his debut in the last game. He can jump on enemies to defeat them now, and he can't inhale enemies as well as Kirby does anymore. You have to be right next to an enemy in order to suck them up.

The Waddle Dees on the boat take two hits to get rid of. Hit them one to destroy the boat, then you can use him as ammo if you need to.

The yellow guys with one eye will drop down and try to eat you if you don't run away from them in time.

You'll be able to take Kine with you after the first section if you want to use him. It's better if you do, as you can get the 1-Up in the third section with him and get through the sixth section, too.

The Heart Star requirement here is another mini-game. Here, you'll have to guess which pot out of the five the eel is in. You have to guess which one he was in last. If you can guess correctly three times, you'll get the Heart Star!

The sixth and final section is auto-scrolling. There are times where you can take the top or bottom path to collect a star to get closer to an extra life.
