In this episode, PrinceWatercress feels that the third game in the Dream Land trilogy isn't exactly what it could have been.
First | Previous | Next | End
World 4 Boss: Ado
Ado is a new addition to the Kirby series in this game, and she would also appear in Kirby 64 under a different name, though the question of whether this is the same character with a different name has never officially been answered.
Ado draws pictures of bosses from the last game in the Dream Land series, which come to life. The first one is the Snow Dragon. He comes with all of his signature attacks, including the ice breath. Just spit the ice blocks he sends at you back at him.
The next boss is the Ripple Field boss from the previous game. Duck under the spikes, run under him as he bounces to the other side and spit the starfish he sends at you back at him.
The third boss is Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright. One will fly around and throw stuff at you while the other stays near the ground and gets in your way. They switch positions every so often, so you'll get your chance to take out both of them before you know it.
Once you take out Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright, you finally take on Kracko...or at least a painting of him. He flies around trying to zap you with a lightning bolt and sends miniature clones of himself at you. Spit the mini-Krackos at him and avoid the lightning bolts. Once you bring him down to half health, he stops being a joke and will move from one side of the screen to the other as he zaps a bolt of lightning across the ground. Run away from him and hide in the corner so you don't get hit, and spit the mini-Kracko at him whenever he spits one out. This is harder than expected, as he dives towards the ground as he loops across the screen and spits out four of them, and they all either go up or down.
When you take out Kracko, Ado will finally run towards you in anger. Slide into him by holding Down and pressing B while facing him. It's over.
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. There is a Pep Brew at the top of the second section, and you can find it to the left of the exit.
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. The wind will also push you back as you make your way to the exit.
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 auto-scrolling 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 auto-scrolling 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 mini-game 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.
