The labyrinths at the end of each world are a little different compared to the regular stages.
World 1-4
The fourth level in every world is a labyrinth, and these will play differently from the first three levels. Here, you'll be going in a bit of a maze. On the lower-left corner, you'll have your current weapon and the amount of soldiers that you currently have free. In the bottom center, you'll have your hearts and current health. On the lower-right, you'll have the current level that you're on and the amount of hit points that the boss has left.
The one-eyed white skulls (Ganewmedes) that fly around will go around the room. Shoot them down for hearts. The ones with the bluish hue will drop five hearts each, while the ones with the reddish hue drop ten hearts each.
The one-eyed bugs (Kobils) slowly move back and forth, and the blue ones drop one heart each and the red ones drop five. The red upside-down vases will drop down the Shemums, which you can grind hearts off of as they drop down. They drop down indefinitely, so you can get as many as you need if you have the time and patience.
The gray statues of the statues with the spears are soldiers, or Centurions, that you can free. If you have any mallets, you can switch between those and the arrow with the Select button, then hit a statue with a mallet to free the soldier inside. The soldiers will then help you with the boss, but they will go down in one hit.
The blue, one-eyed men with the white capes and the staffs are the Eggplant Wizards. They will throw Eggplants up towards you at an arc, and if an eggplant hits you, you will be turned into an eggplant with human legs. When in eggplant form, you cannot attack, and all you can do is move around and try not to get hit a lot. Stay low and close so that the eggplant projectiles don't hit you. If you do get hit with an eggplant, you'll have to find the hospital inside the dungeon and go inside to get cured and turned back to your normal self. The hospital is an all-white room with red crosses in the upper corners.
The gray T-shaped pipes shoot spikes out. Watch them carefully so the spikes don't hit you as you get around in the current room.
The pool of orange water is a hot spring. If you find it, jump in and stay in there to slowly refill your health.
There are also stores in the dungeon, if you can find them. Use them to stock up on stuff you need before you fight the guardian of the labyrinth, because once you enter that boss battle, you can't back out and you'll have to fight your way out.
The fortress also have their own stores containing their own items. While you'll have to find the map somewhere in the dungeon, you'll have to buy the torch and the pencil. The torch lets you see your current position on the map, while the pencil lets you see which rooms you've visited (which will be in green) and which ones you haven't. If you draw your own maps while playing, or if you're using one off the Internet, however, it's pretty pointless.
The boss is Twinbellows. Twinbellows will slowly move from one side of the room to the other while shooting their fireballs in an upward arc. When you shoot and hit Twinbellows, he will go up slightly, and if you can time it right, you can avoid being hit by the low fireball that way. Having any soldiers accompanying to the fight can help, as they can do a little bit more damage and make the battle go slightly quicker, even if they go down in one hit. When you beat Twinbellows, you'll get the first sacred treasure.
