PrinceWatercress plays Kirby Super Star - Part 5 of 14


This one is going to take a while, but it's one of my two favorite games out of all the ones here. It's time for The Great Cave Offensive!


The Great Cave Offensive

Get through the deadly cave while collecting hidden treasures.

The game's opening cutscene shows Kirby falling into the underground world where this game's action will take place. If you go into the tutorial, you'll find out what you need to do: get out of this underground world and collect all the treasures you can. You can press X to see all the treasures you have found.


To get the Whip, hit the bomb blocks that are nearby except for the middle one so you don't trigger a lava barrier.

To get the Crystal Ball, you'll have to use Wing to hit two switches in quick succession to get past two doors before they close, then hit two more in quick succession  in order to climb up a ladder and get it before the doors leading to it close. You'll have doors to open in case you're trapped.

To get the Seiryu Sword, fly over the white blocks at the beginning so the chest does not fall into the lava, then go up and left and attack the statue ahead. The chest should now be yours.

In each section, you'll find an inn. Here, you can save your progress and current position in the game, and you can hit the switch for an instant Maxim Tomato to fully heal yourself.

You'll have to destroy a few statue heads near the end to get to the Zebra Mask.

You can easily beat Bonkers by destroying the tiles in the center with Wing. Bonkers will fall right into the pit!

You can use abilities like Cutter, Wing and Ninja to cut the strings that hold certain platforms. You'll have to do this near the end to get Springtime.

After all that, you'll be able to choose between Jet, Mirror or Sword (or none of them), then you'll face Fatty Whale. Avoid him as he moves around. If he corners you, block. When he shoots water out of his blowhole, suck up a fish or a rock that comes down and spit it at him. Every once in a while, he will jump out of the water and then back in, creating a big wave of water that will launch you upwards. Be ready to defend yourself and also get a rock or a fish if you need it to spit something at Fatty Whale. Eventually, he will go down, and you'll be able to go to the next section.

Between sections, you'll be able to jump in a trolley. Move forward with the Control Pad, press B to jump out and press Y to use the brakes.


By using your underwater attack to break through the blocks below the Dime, you'll get the Glass Slippers.
