This level is short, but if you're not used to how the platforms you have to ride on work, you're taking a few deaths.
Stage 5
Snowy Valley
5-1
This stage (and its levels) is really short.
You'll definitely want to get the Fire Suit back out for these levels. When you spray the crystals in the air with water, you'll be able to create some temporary platforms. Cool!
The dandelions (dandy lions? I dunno) that come out of the ice crystals under the ground are just vanilla enemies.
The pink flower-like things push the ice platforms back and forth.
The ice platforms can be pushed by walking into them. If you jump onto them, you'll be able to ride them down the slopes like an icy surfboard. Keep in mind that the faster they go, the longer you will go when you leap off them. Watch where you're going!
Speaking of icy, be careful here. The ground in this stage is very, very slippery.
You can find an extra life by using the Fire Suit on the large group of ice crystals that you'll see shortly after the beginning of the level. By spraying the ice crystals with water, you can create ice platforms that last only briefly and can get you to higher areas.
5-2
There aren't any enemies here. Also, you need not use the ice platforms to get through this level. All you need to remember is that the platforms go according to what direction you were holding the D-Pad when you landed on them (either left or right). Also, make sure you have momentum and speed so you can clear some of the jumps.
5-3
The boss here is a walrus Pete. He'll ice skate from one side of the screen to the other and breathe snowballs into you. Though you can use the Fire Suit to freeze his snowballs and damage him, the Magic Turban does even more damage when you charge it up.
If you're going to jump on his head (which also works here), be careful not to jump into his ice skates as he flips around or you're going to get hit.
