The second stage of Nutty Noon in Kirby’s Return To Dream Land Deluxe is full♕ of floating platforms, hidden areas, and goodies to collect. You’ll want to make sure you get everything you can from this section before movi🌌ng onto the next stage.
To help you do just that, you can follow this thorough walkthrough. Learn which levers to pull (and not pul🦩l) and make sure you don’t fall for any of this stage’s tricks. You’ll collect all the Energy Spheres and plenty of additional stars along the way.
First Section
Head up the path to the right and pull the star lever. The blocks ahead will be removed, allowing you to continue. As you go forward, dodge or attack the enemy on the bridge. You can also grab the Ninja Copy Ability from it if you wish.
Grab the next star lever to open up the next section. Continue across the bridge and watch out for the floating enemies here. Attack the kni🌌ght enemy and the blocks below it to collect stars.
Grab the star lever up ahead to remove the blocks below you and access more yellow stars and a red star.
Continue ahead and destroy the enemies in your path. When you reach the large block, drop your Copy Ability and inhale it. You’ll find four red stars and a food item.
Continue along the next part of the bridge, attacking the blocks and enemies in your way. You’ll reach another star lever and there’s also another one directly behind it. Pull them both to reach the star door.
Second Section
Jump on the moving platform ahead. An enemy here throws bombs at you, so attack it quickly. Jump onto the next platform, and the one after it. There are enemies all around here, so dodge or attack them.
Pick up the bomb ahead of you. Take it across the moving platforms as you progress, and have it explode on top of the golden block covered in Waddle Dees. A star door will be revealed, so head inside.
Above you, grab the Bomb Copy Ability. Jump onto the star button. Bring out a bomb using your Copy Ability, but hold the button so Kirby doesn’t fire it immediately. Aim the bomb between the gap where the blocks were, and wait for the spiked enemy to move, leaving an open space. You should hit the bomb block below.
This removes the blocks just below you, allowing you to reach the Energy Sphere. Grab it and head back to the main stage.
Jump across the next platform and grab the stamp ticket. Grab the two 🧸star levers up ahead to open up the path to the star door.
Third Section
Attack the enemy in front of you or inhale it to get the Sword Copy Ability. Go up the ladder. There are two star levels to pull - grab the one on the left to remo🌼ve the b🎃locks on the ladder. Go up the ladder.
Now, there are three star levers to choose from. Grab the middle one to unblock the ladder to the next area. Grab the one on the far right to access the hamburger below.
Go up the ladder to reach an area with four star levers. Pull the lever second from the left to unlock the ladder. Pull the one on the far right to grab the sandwich.
Go up the ladder again. Destroy the star blocks and press the star button in the center. Go up the final ladder to reach the star door.
Fourth Section
Walk onto the bridge and you’ll find three bomb-throwing enemies. Attack them and continue. Grab the star lever and go ahead. You’ll start a miniboss fight with Moundo.
How To Defeat Moundo
Moundo acts similarly to when you faced it the first time. It jumps up into the air and slams into the ground, hoping to squash Kirby.
It also runs across the stage, aiming to catch you in its path - when it does this and misses, it crashes into the edge of the stage. You can use this opportunity to do some damage.
Additionally, it spins across the ground, but you can easily dodge this by jumping up.
The Bomb Copy Ability is helpful for this fight, as you can roll the bombs at Moundo from a distance, and then jump when it charges for you.
If you didn’t grab this from the secret star door earlier, you can get the Copy Ability from the enemies just before you enter the boss room.
When it’s down, keep hitting it to receive the Stone Copy Ability.
Continue right and pull the star lever to leave.
Run across the bridge. You’ll see an Energy Sphere below you, but you can’t reach it. However, there are three wooden stumps ahead you can 💯slam using the Stone Copy Ability.
Only slam the first two wooden stumps. Slamming the last will make more blocks appear, preventing y🦹ou from reaching the Energy Sphere.
Continue to the end and drop down below, then backtrack to reach the Energy Sphere.
Go right until you see th🎃e star lever. Pull it to fall down to the star❀ door.
Fifth Section
Head right and go down two levels. An enemy will appear from a star portal — grab its Flare Beam Super Ability. Activate the ability, then move the ball of light over each of the stars in the room. This will cause a platform bel𓃲ow you to move, allowing you to reach more stars.
Go right and up into the next room. Use your ability again to light up the stars and attack the enemies here, then grab the stars and stamp ticket below you.
Use your ability to destroy the enemies and blocks down the path to the right, and you’ll reach another room with stars to light up. Destroy the enemies first, then light up the stars. Grab the food, then take the ladder down. Follow the path right and grab the star lever.
Light up all the stars here and a star portal will appear. Go inside.
The wall comes from behind you on the left, so quickly head right. Inhale the block and expel it to destroy the bomb block. Continue ahead, then inhale the blocks behind you.
Wait for the moving platform to reveal the bomb block, then expel the blo꧃cks to hit💧 it. The blocks above you will clear, so go up here.
Inhale a block in the next area, and jump to expel it at the bomb block. Time it so you don’t hit the spiked enemy floating in front of it. Continue ahead.
Once again, inhale a block and aim it at the bomb block. You’ll need to jump and time it right to avoid the moving platform.
Go in the newly cleared path. On the moving platform, inhale one of the blocks, and expel it at the bomb block as you go up. Go across th💙e top.🍃 Again, inhale a block, and expel it at the bomb block.
Stand on top of the pile of blocks and jump to aim directly at the bomb block.
Continue across. At the next moving platform, inhale a few blocks and expel them at the remaining blocks to hit the bomb block b🧸ehind the🔜m. Go up, past the spiked enemy, to continue.
Inhale the fi𝔉nal block and expel it to the bomb block to reveal the star door.
Sphere Doomer Boss Fight
Jump onto the moving platform. You’ll have the choice of the Stone or Parasol Copy Abilities.
The Parasol gives you a lot more freedom of movement, as the Stone is restricted to slamming enemies from above or when you’re ⭕stationary.
Go ahead to begin the battle with the Sphere Doomer.
How To Defeat The Sphere Doomer
This boss fight takes place on a moving platform, which is the main ﷽thing you’ll need to be aware of. When you’re jumping, make sure you’ll land where the platform is.
This also makes the Stone Copy Ability a bad choice, as you can easily activate the ability and sink down into the abyss. The Parasol, however🅘, lets you float.
The Sphere Doomer uses all its typical moves: throwing projectiles at you and charging at you from all directions.
It also has a new move here. Similar to when it stops and discharges energy, it will produce four balls and each of these will discharge energy, hurting Kirby on impact. Make sure ℱto stay out of the way of these.
Hit the Sphere Doomer whenever you can in between its attacks, and you’ll soon defeat it. Grab the two Energy Spheres and head right to the st💟ar portal to return 🐲to the main stage.
Go right and go up the ladder. Jump into the cannon and you’l💟l b🧸e blasted all the way to the final star door.
