Introduction
------------
Hello, and welcome to my FAQ for the latest Kirby Adventure: Kirby 64.  Yes,
it's true, the fun loving, enemy inhaling, weapon spitting, big pink puffball
named Kirby has come back in his latest 2.5D adventure on the N64.  Over the
past, several old time Nintendo games have been resurrected onto the N64, such
as Donkey Kong, Starfox, Super Mario, Mario Kart, etc. so HAL Laborotories
decided to star Kirby in his own game on Nintendo's latest console.
Kirby is back, and better than ever in this new adventure. 6 Worlds,
mini-games, and tons of ability combinations you can make have all been
combined into one fun-filled game. Some may argue that Kirby 64 is more for the
younger age groups, but if you know Kirby like I do, you will surely be a fan
of this game.
Revision History
----------------
v1.8 (03/16/2001): Changed my e-mail address.
V1.5 (07/05/2000): Fixed a few more errors I found, added a code and added a
couple of questions to the F.A.Q. section. I'm trying to get
everything minor done before finishing up the remaining 2
worlds in the walkthrough. More to come...
V1.4 (07/03/2000): Added some Gameshark Codes, as well as a bunch of questions
in the F.A.Q. section. I also fixed a few, very minor errors
in the FAQ. More to come on the walkthrough and enemy list
within the next few days, I'm working on another "In-Depth"
guide for Kirby 64 which will be up soon.
V1.3 (06/28/2000): First level of World 5 walkthrough complete. Added "Magman"
to the enemy listing. Fixed a few things in the "Before
Playing" section. Big update coming later today...
V1.2 (06/27/2000): World 4 Walkthrough complete. Removed the "Master Combo
List" because it was mainly just filler space from the
looks of things. Also fixed some things in the controls.
As usual, more to come.
V1.1 (06/27/2000): Finished World 3 Walkthrough, and added "Acro" to the
enemies section. Much more to come.
V1.0 (06/27/2000): Added more enemies and that's all for that until I enconter
more while playing. Now the fun part begins, finishing up
the walkthrough...More to come.
V0.95(06/27/2000): Many more enemies in the enemies section. Also added
1.5 levels to the walkthrough. As promised, the
walkthrough shall be completed by the end of tomorrow.
But I am tired now and need some rest, so until tomorrow
you'll have to wait.
V0.9 (06/27/2000): Added a bunch of enemies to the enemies section. So far
I have 32/81 enemies added. More to come...
V0.8 (06/26/2000): Redid current walkthrough with cystal shard locations.

I.  Story
===============================================================================
In a distant corner of the galaxy, fairies lived peacefully on the planet
called Ripple Star.  But then one day, a mysterious black cloud appeared and
surrounded the peaceful planet.  The cloud, a sinister force known as Dark
Matter, had come in search of the fairies' secret treasure -- their shining
Crystal.
A fairy named Ribbon knew that dreadful things would come to pass if Dark
Matter gained control of the powerful Crystal. She grabbed the shining stone
and escaped from Ripple Star--just before the planet was completely engulfed.
But as Ribbon fled, three dark clouds splot from the mass of Dark Matter to
chase her through space. And when they caught up with her and attacked, the
fairies' crystal shattered into tiny shards, which dropped like falling stars
onto the many planets in the solar system.
Still holding one of the Crystal Shards, Ribbon fell onto the planet called
Pop Star, where--perhaps by fate--she ran smack in to Kirby.  After hearing her
desperate plight, Kirby resolved to help Ribbon recover all of the Crystal
Shards.
And so begins Kirby's latest adventure!
===============================================================================
II.  Game Overview
===============================================================================
There are some very important key facts you MUST know before playing this
game. I recommend everyone who is not familiar with Kirby 64, or who is just
starting the game for the first time, read through this section very carefully
and try to remember as much as you can.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you may have noticed, there are several different types of stars throughout
the game, and as I figure out how many each type gives you, I will be sure to
list them here. The most common type you will encounter is the standard yellow
star, which gives you one point on your STAR METER.  Other colored stars will
increase the value of points you get, but you will mainly encounter the yellow
ones.
Stars can be hidden almost everywhere. They are inside boxes, under enemies, in
water, high in the sky, and virtually anywhere. Try and collect as many of them
as you can, because once you get enough to fill up your STAR METER, you will
gain an extra life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Star Meter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Star Meter, is the small bar underneathe your HEALTH METER.  Once this
Star Meter is filled up with points, you will gain 1 Extra Life on your LIFE
METER.  In order to get points on this STAR METER, you must collect stars,
of course!  Each yellow star you collect gives you 1 point on your STAR METER.
Once the Star Meter fills up all the way, an extra life will be awarded to
Kirby.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Health Meter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Health Meter is the row of big circles (8 of them I believe).  Each time
you are hit by an enemy, you lose 1 of these circles, and when they are all
gone, you will lose 1 life from your LIFE METER and you will have to play the
level over again. You can also eat certain foods, such as Maxim  Tomatos,
cakes, etc. to fill up your Health Meter "X" amount of circles, as each food
item gives you a different amount of health.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Items
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are several items located in the game, some helpful, some harmful, and
some really have no purpose at all, but they are still there. It is always a
wise choice to collect all of the helpful and non useful items you can, because
you never know what is or what isn't important or when you may need it, so my
advice to you is to collect all the items I've listed below whenever you see
them.
Stars:          If you collect enough stars, you will gain an extra life. There
is a standard yellow star which gives you 1 star, a red star
which gives you 5 stars, a blue-green star which gives you 3
stars and a blue star  which gives you 10 stars.
Maxim Tomato:   This is a tomato with an "M" printed on it. If you eat one of
these, you will fully replinish all lost or damaged health
by enemies. You will find these tomatoes in various places
and they become more and more scarce as you enter tougher
levels.
1-UPs:          Naturally, these will give Kirby 1 extra life. These are very
plain to see, they are just what they say, 1-UPs. Collect as
many as possible to save up the lives giving you more tries.
Ability Icons:  These appear when you throw out an ability, or when you
combine an ability with another and it will form a double
ability icon available for inhaling. For more information on
the abilities, see the proper section in this FAQ.
Food:           Food is located randomly throughout the levels. Single pieces
of food, such as: cake, sandwiches, milk, etc. will replenish 1
bar on your health meter. But if you eat a Maxim tomato, you
will replenish all bars on your meter. You can also get food
using the "Refridgerator" ability combination [see combo
section].
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirby comes equipped with 1 default ability, the Inhale ability.  As most Kirby
fans know, this simple ability just sucks in any items and enemies within it's
range.  Once you suck up an enemy, you can then eat them and pick up their
ability.  There are a few different types of abilities, some of them being the
following:
FIRE:      Gives Kirby Fire ability.
CUTTER:    Gives Kirby Cutter ability.
NEEDLE:    Gives Kirby Needle ability.
BOMB:      Gives Kirby Bomb ability.
ICE:       Gives Kirby Ice ability.
ELECTRIC:  Gives Kirby Electric ability.
ROCK:      Gives Kirby Rock ability
Those are just the 1ST LEVEL abilities, Kirby can then combine different or
alike abilities, making more powerful abilities, which I've explained a bit
below this section.  Remember, to gain an ability from an enemy, you inhale (B)
and eat (Down on D-Pad), then B to use the ability in place of the default
Inhale.
If you don't want to use the ability you are using anymore, and you want to go
back to the default Inhale ability, you'd press C-Up to lift the ability above
your head.  This is useful to throw single abilities at other enemies to gain
double abilites, or you can simply throw it away and go back to Inhale.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Combinations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As explained earlier, you can combine abilities gained from enemies.  To do so,
you'd first Inhale an enemy (with an ability) and eat them using Down.  This
now equips Kirby with that enemies ability. To use it, you'd use B.  This is
called a 1ST LEVEL ability or a SINGLE ABILITY.  You can also combine similar
or different abilities for 2ND LEVEL abilities, which are far stronger than the
1ST LEVEL ones.
To combine a SINGLE ABILITY with another SINGLE ABILITY to make a DOUBLE
ABILITY, here's what you'd do...First, (when you have a single ability
equipped), take your 1ST LEVEL ability above your head (C-Up) and throw it at
the enemy of choice (which has the ability you wish to combine with).  This
should kill the enemy, leaving a DOUBLE ABILITY lying on the ground, Inhale it
and swallow to gain the new DOUBLE ABILITY.
Yes, there are several unique combinations capable of being made (over 22 of
them) which I have listed later in this FAQ.  You should always try different
combinations, and use the suitable ones applicable to the environment you are
playing in.  For example, if you need to fight flying enemies, you'd want to
use the huge clamps, which are capable of killing flying enemies, so it's up to
you to use your best judgement when it comes to abilities.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Worlds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a total of 7 planets in the game, 6 of them being gameplay planets,
and one being the Dark Matter (Final Boss) planet.  On each of the 6 planets,
there are 4 levels and one Boss level. In each level there are 3 crystal
shards.  In total there are 72 crystal shards in the whole game which make up
the final product which was shattered in the beginning of the game. Here's a
diagram to  help you understand more.

The Ending Game
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After each level you complete, you will have the opportunity to play a  closing
mini-game.  This mini-game consists of a playing mat with several prizes on it,
Kirby on the corner of the map, and Waddle Dee making sure Kirby doesn't cheat.
Press A to start moving Kirby, then press (and hold) A for your jump.  The
longer you hold A, the farther you jump.  The goal is to try and land yourself
on the prize you want.  I prefer going for the 1UP, but you can also go for the
star prizes if you desire.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*  You can only move in 4 directions, Left, Right, Up, and Down.  You will
notice this right away, as there is no 8-Direction in this game, just the
standard 4-Direction (Up, Down, Left, and Right).
*  As you will also notice very quickly, you cannot move on to other levels
or worlds in the game UNTIL you finish the current one you are on.  This is
very good in a game, as it eliminates getting lost.  The game is layed out
so that you cannot move on to another area until you complete the one before
it.  This applies to both levels AND worlds.  However, you _can_ still go to
the next level without getting all 3 Crystal Shards in each one.
*  When you encounter a door, or an opening into a building (or out of a
building), keep in mind that there are NO other paths to take, just the
straight path through the door. Why? Because the game is 4-Directional.

III.  Walkthrough
===============================================================================
Okay, first you'll have to start a new game. Select the Save File you wish to
save on (1, 2, or 3) and you will be asked if you want to get training or just
start the game (and view the opening story). For beginners, I recommend taking
training. Once you're ready, start the game and you will view the opening story
and finally be left to enter the first world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORLD 1: POP STAR - LEVEL 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL SHARDS: 1.) In the beginning, when you go down ramp, jump to get piece.
2.) Blow up small platform with 3 stars on top of it.
3.) Defeat evil eyeball inside friend.
Okay, from the beginning of the level, go backwards (Left) to find a yellow
star, collect it and then continue back forward (Right). Once you come to a
white fence, start Inhaling (B) to suck up a black enemy. You can either spit
it or eat it, whatever you choose. Now is the time you want to gain your first
ability, and I suggest you do it with the fire enemy you encounter next.
Press B to inhale it, and DOWN to gain the ability. Continue on and jump up and
over the block in your path. Kill the enemy on top of this block and continue
on. You will now encounter enemies on wooden platforms suspended in mid-air.
Jump onto these platforms while Inhaling to suck up the enemies.  You can gain
some abilities here, or just use them to shoot at the enemies up ahead.
Continue on, and you will come to 2 more wooden platforms in the air, kill the
enemies on them, and continue on to where the bridge is. Kill the spring enemy
and cross the bridge. On the other side, kill the flying and spiky enemies.
Then jump up onto the ramp and go down. Kill the 2 enemies at the bottom and
jump up to get the piece of shard (1).
Keep going and kill the enemy blocking your way into a ditch of water.  Come up
on the other side and kill the other enemy there. Then you will come to a
wooden house with a Maxim Tomato in front of it. Eat the Maxim Tomato to
restore all of your health on your HEALTH METER. Now go inside the wooden house
with the open door.
From here, you will face off against a giant black enemy. He will summons his
little friends to drop in on you. You can either use his little buddies as
ammo. to kill him with, or just use your ability you have to kill both the big
and little ones. Either way you choose, you only have to hit the big black
enemy a total of 3 times to kill him.
Once he's dead, go out through the back door of the wooden house where
the rest of the level is located. Follow the path and kill the 2 enemies you
come to, then jump up onto the platform and kill the throwing enemy. Jump
off onto the ground and kill the flying enemy as well as the black enemy.
Continue you on and jump onto the block with a dandelion on it.
Right after this block, you will find a little cannon sitting on a block.
Destroy the block to make the cannon fall. Then collect the star that came out
of the box and the piece of food while avoiding being shot by the cannon. You
will then come to another block with a dandelion on it, do the same things here
as you did with the other one.
Finally, jump onto the last block with a dandelion on it and kill the 3 enemies
on the other side (2 Flying, 1 Black). Now  watch out for the bomb thrower on
the other side of the little block you see. Kill him before he hits you with a
bomb, if you eat him, you will naturally get the bomb ability if it's your 1ST
LEVEL ability.
Kill the spring enemy on the tall block  as well as the fire enemy on the other
side of it. Head into the water and into the middle where you will find a small
platform with 3 yellow stars on top of it. Throw a bomb on this small platform,
it will blow up revealing the 2nd cystal shard (2).   Collect the stars and
continue on (killing the enemies in your way). Eat the food item up ahead and
then get rid of another bomb thrower.
Walk forward to exit the level. You will view a clip of Kirby's friend playing
with the piece of Crystal Shard when a dark, evil eyeball possesses his body.
You will know, unfortunately, have to do battle with Waddle Dee, who's body is
inhabited by the evil, black, eyeball.
This is pretty easy to complete. You can either use the ability you have (if
you have one equipped) and continually hit the eyeball, or you can wait for him
to bump into the wall or smash the ground, which is when he releases stars you
can use as ammo. if you are using your Inhale ability. Once you defeat him (by
getting rid of all his health meter), you will collect a piece of the Crystal
Shard (3).
After this level is over, you will play the closing game. This game is played
after each level you complete. Basically, Kirby stands on the corner of a mat
turning back and forth. On the mat are several prizes. You stop Kirby in the
direction you want him to jump by using A, and then he gets ready to jump. To
make him jump far, press A when he has his arms fully back, if you want him to
jump short, press A when his arms are extended. The farther Kirby's arms are
extended when you press A, the shorter Kirby will jump. If you are lucky, you
will land on a prize, which is yours for the keeping, and you're first level
will be complete.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORLD 1: POP STAR - LEVEL 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL SHARDS: 1.) When moving down platform, jump off to get piece.
2.) Kill the large spring enemy.
3.) Defeat Adeleine
From the beginning, once again. Go backwards (Left) to collect a hidden yellow
star. Then continue going forward (Right). When you come to the Dandelion on
the ground, start inhaling or using your ability to kill the oncoming enemy
just ahead. You will now come to a bomb thrower standing on a tree stump. Kill
him and continue on.
Kill the enemies on suspended wood platforms and keep going straight.  You will
come to several rock enemies, so kill them off and follow the path.  You will
soon come to a set of 3 suspended wood platforms in the air with 3 parachuting
enemies dropping down. Kill the parachuting enemies and jump up to the top
platform, where you will find a pummpkin. Eat it to replenish your HEALTH METER.
Continue on (Right) and kill the bomb thrower you come up to as well as any
enemies behind or near it. Also, you may want to be careful here because
gophers will burrow out of the ground and start coming at you, so make sure you
stay alert so you'll be able to eliminate a gopher before it does you.  You
will come to another big wood stump with a bomb thrower on it. Kill the thrower
and hop onto the stump. There is a Needle trapped in between the ground and a
box.  Destroy or inhale the box to release the Needle, then drop down into the
area where the Needle was. Collect the 2 stars and hop out on the other side.
Do the same thing to the next one you come to. Then hop out onto the other side
and kill the rock enemy waiting for you. Go straight near the tree and kill the
electric enemy. Then go inside the tree. Once inside the tree, make sure you
have some type of ability equipped, if not, just inhale an enemy and takes it's
ability.  Hop up the platforms and kill the 3 spider like enemies hanging from
strings. Continue up the next 2 platforms and kill the bomb thrower. Go up
another 2 and kill the electric enemy. Finally, head up the last 2 and kill the
2 enemies on top, then go out the door straight ahead.
You will now get a "free ride" from Waddle Dee, who will hop on top of a
transportation platform. He wheels the platform, you stand on it. Collect as
many of the yellow stars as you can without falling off, when you come near the
end of the ride, you will see 3 stars down below, jump off and get the shard
piece just below these stars (1), it will sacrifice a life, but you need to get
the peice of shard. Once on the other side from your "free ride", jump off the
platform and go into the open tree.
Now, first jump over the middle area and eat the food to replenish health.
Now, jump down the middle but FLOAT down so you can collect all of the stars.
At the bottom, go through the hole to drop down to find a mini-boss. It's a
giant spring enemy. Kill it with your ability, or inhale ammo. from the mini
springs that drop down, once it's dead, you will get the 2nd cystal shard (2).
It is now time to face the Level 2 boss(es). Adeleine will be overtaken by the
evil, dark eyeball again, and it will eventually gain possession of the Shard
piece, and will paint pictures of enemies and bring them to life to fight you.
Kill all of the enemies the painting sends out until she sends out a large,
frog looking type enemy. Hit the frog a few times to kill it, and Adeleine will
then send out an evil eye enemy from her painting.
Make sure you destroy it quickly using an ability, otherwise you may take
damage from it swooping down. Adeleine then gets so angry she jumps down from
her spot and tries to fight you, one hit and she's gone, and you will gain
possession of the cystal shard. You will then view the closing cinema of
Adeleine regaining her body, and Kirby will own the 3rd cystal shard (3).  Play
the closing game (preferrably going after the 1UPs) and you will be finished
with the second level of the first world. There is one more level and a boss,
and you will then have all of the Crystal Shards for World 1.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORLD 1: POP STAR - LEVEL 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL SHARDS: 1.) Use Boomerang ability on block inside tower to drop down.
2.) After you see Adeleine & go through door, float up & left.
3.) Defeat King DeDeDe.
As always, go backwards (Left) and collect the yellow star, then continue going
forward (Right). You will come to some boxes, one with a rocket on top, go
ahead and destory the boxes, as well as the rocket. Continue going right and
kill any flying or ground enemies you encounter, or if you see something
interesting, take their abilitiy. You will then come to a set of 4 boxes with a
rocket on top, destroy the boxes to find a yellow star in the bottom middle box.
Venture on, and you will come in range with 2 fire enemies. One on top of
a set of boxes and one on bottom, destroy both the boxes and the enemies. You
will then find 3 boxes, 2 with enemies on top, one with food on top. Break all
of the boxes and kill the enemies, and you'll find a yellow star in one of the
boxes. At the last box, eat the food.
Kill the 2 spring enemies you come to next and then jump up onto the
drawbridge.  From here, go into the opening at the end of the bridge. You will
be taken inside of a castle. Kill the guard enemy standing on a box when you
come in. The box contains a yellow star. Go up the stairs and into the opening.
Once in this room, head down the set of stairs and kill the Needle enemy.  You
will step onto a platform that begins to move. You have to be careful here,
because several flying enemies will fly toward you, trying to knock you off the
moving platform. Once on the other side, kill the shooting enemy and go up the
small flight of stairs and into the opening.
You will be taken into the inside a small area. Break the boxes you see somehow
to collect 2 yellow stars on the bottom. Now float back up to where the black
Needley enemy is. Wait for it to pass and then climb up to the next platform,
do the same thing here and once again for the last one, where you will now
climb out into the light opening.
You will pop out of a hole in the ground, now continue going right. Kill the
shooting and flying enemies as well as the parachutes. Continue venturing right
until you come to another hole in the ground, jump in. Once inside, break the
block you are standing on by using the 2ND LEVEL boomerang ability or another
ability that's capable of destroying the block. Once it's destroyed, you can
drop down and collect the cystal shard (1). Go through the opening where you
will find Adeleine again.
This time, she'll paint you a treat which comes to life! Pass her and through
the next opening. Right from the door, float up and left to find the 2nd shard
piece (2). Walk up the spiral staircase, killing all enemies you come to and
collecting all yellow stars. You will soon come to a chain leading upward.
Climb the chain and hop off to the right when you go up one level.
Now, continue going right but PASS the next chain you come to. Go to the next
chain (one with light coming from top) and climb it to the top where you can
exit. Here you will view a cinema of Kirby and the gang just about to grab the
cystal shard when the king grabs it instead. Then the evil dark eyeball comes
and possesses King DeDeDe, fending him against you.
Hit the King several times with your ability or inhale the stars he releases.
Once his HEALTH BAR is empty, he will float in the air and resurrect himself.
He will also start shooting mini black particles of evil. Once you kill him
this time, he will stay dead. The evil is now released from the King's body,
and you will be rewarded with the last cystal shard (3).  You will now see a
cinema of the King pretending to be angry, but eventually joins the gang. Now,
play the closing game, collect your prize (if any) and you will be finished
with the 3rd level in this world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS: WHISPY WOODS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL SHARDS: 1.) Defeat Whispy Woods
The first _real_ boss you will be facing in the game is this one, Whispy Woods.
He is rather easy to defeat, just not as easy as the mini-bosses you played in
the levels. First, you will have to destroy the mini-trees of the large tree.
To do so, rotate around the tree until you approach a small tree. You can
either use your abilitie to hit them a few times to kill them, or you can
inhale apples the tree drops and spit them at the mini-trees.  Once all of the
mini-trees are gone, the big tree gets angry and then starts his cycle. His
cycles goes like this:
Shake out Apples from tree
Spit out electric bolt
Release Roots
Whenever the roots are released and visible, circle around and hit them with
your ability or your stored fruit. Continue going around the tree several times
hitting the roots until the tree eventually dies, he will then leave you with
the only cystal shard in this level (1). You will then see the gang place all
of the pieces together to create the first Shard of the main crystal.
They then all gather up and transport to the next planet.

WORLD 2: ROCK STAR - LEVEL 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL SHARDS: 1.) Where the eyeball anvils are, float up to find the piece.
2.) Defeat cactus enemy.
3.) Break striped wall with Rock + Electric ability.
Hop off into the desert and kill the parachute enemy, then hop back onto the
land and kill the enemy there. Continue on and do the same thing, and you will
now come to the desert area with a cactus in it. Kill the cactus and jump onto
the piece of land, kill the 2 enemies and destroy the boxes, one of them has a
yellow star in it.
Kill the cactus in the desert  again and then blow up all the boxes and eat the
food. Kill the next cactus and blow up more boxes to get a yellow star, kill
yet another cactus in the desert ground and blow up the 2 boxes as well as the
2 parachute enemies. Then kill the desert cactus.
Now jump up onto the platform and continue straight. Kill all the oncoming
rock enemies, but make sure you inhale one of them so you can have a rock
ability, keep this ability. Hop back off into the desert. Here, you will kill
another cactus, then jump over the wall to eat the meat. Jump over the other
edge of the wall and kill the enemies. Also, watch out for the sand gophers
here.
Jump over another wall and eat the cake, then continue on killing enemies as
you come to them (or taking and testing new abilities). Now, hop up onto the
thing in the center, and when the heads pop up, that's when you kill them. Then
take the yellow stars on top of their heads.  On the other side, go through the
opening to the building. Once in here, blow up the boxes and enemies, then you
will come to a large anvil with an eyeball on it.
From here, float up above the anvil and you will find the 1st cystal shard (1).
Be careful of it and cross under the anvil when it's safe.  Do the same for the
next 2 you come to. Then on the other side, destroy the rock enemies and blow
up the boxes around them.  Jump up onto the metal boxes to collect the yellow
star, followed by another set of metal boxes, jump onto those too. Go up 2 more
sets and you will be under a sand fall area.
Jump up to get out. Now, you will be taken to a room with large mounds of sand
going up a hill. Walk up the hill of sand while attacking because several
cactuses will pop out. At the top of the hill there is a big cactus.  Hit it a
few times to destroy it and take the piece of the shard (2).  Now go through
the opening and the room will begin to fill with sand. Make your way up,
staying as high up from the sand as possible. Use the ladders on the sides of
the walls as well as Kirby's floating ability until you get to the top. Once at
the top, go to the center of the blocks and Waddle Dee will poke a hole in the
celing, allowing you to escape.
Exit through the hole and it will quickly fill up with sand when you get out.
Drop off the edge back into the desert area. Walk up the steep hill killing all
floating enemies. At the top you will find a squirming fish in a little water.
Kill it and continue on down the other side of the hill. Kill all floating
enemies once again.  Now, at the bottom of the hill, you will find an electric
enemy, throw the rock ability you kept from earlier at the electric enemy to
combine abilities. Now, go back to the beginning of this area (where the
striped wall is), and use this ability (Rock + Electric) on the striped wall,
which will make it break and reveal the hidden, and last cystal shard of this
level (3).
Now, go back to where you inhaled the electric enemy. Destroy the boxes here,
but be very careful of the background enemies, they look like cacti, but they
chomp at you from behind. Walk past them when the coast is clear and destroy
the box for a yellow star. Continue straight to where you find a black Needle
enemy, just go past it and out where you will finish the level.
Play the closing game to finish it off.

WORLD 2: ROCK STAR - LEVEL 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL SHARDS: 1.) Drop to bottom of structure where 2 enemies are.
2.) Float down from center box.
3.) Break wall to find the last piece.
Go backwards (Left) and collect the yellow star, then go forward again (Right)
and kill the electric enemy you come to. Continue on, and jump over the pillars,
killing the cacti on them. Jump off and onto the ground again, and kill the
hammer on the ground. Now you have to be very careful in this area. The  pillars
in the background will fall and kill you if you aren't careful. Continue on and
jump over each pillar while killing the flying enemies at the same time.
At the end, kill the spring enemies standing on the boxes and break open the
boxes as well, just to see if there are any hidden stars or something useful.
The middle box contains a yellow star. Venture up the steps and you will come to
a guard enemy, kill him. Hop over the large fallen pillar onto the other side.
Eat the food, and then kill the large pig walking back and forth.  Now, jump
back onto the left pillar so you can get on top of the 2 platforms, collect the
stars here and continue on. Kill the enemies and walk down the steps, destroy
the fire enemy and go in between the 4 pillars where there's a star in the air,
collect it.
Be careful in here because enemies will fall from on top of the pillars.
Continue going through all of the sets of pillars, collecting each yellow star
and avoiding the falling enemy. Once you leave this area, venture forward to be
taken to the next part of the level.  Float up so you can get on top of this
structure and kill the cactus up above. Then jump on the small platform and
through the hole in the celing to go up another level. Kill the enemies here
first, then climb up all the small platforms to go to the tip top of the
structure where you will find a 1UP, collect it.
Now, drop down to a lower level of the structure and find your way to the center
where there are holes in the ground, drop down to the very bottom where you will
find a cystal shard (1). Collect it and kill the guard enemies on both sides.
After they're dead, jump back up and go off the right edge of the building. Kill
the enemies and float up to eat the cake for 1 circle on your HEALTH METER.
Then go inside the opening in the buiding. Now go up the steps
and you will notice figures in the background coming out of windows, these are
ghosts and they cannot be killed, but watch out for the fire the throw at you.
Carefully climb the RIGHT set of boxes to find a Maxim Tomato which will fully
replenish your health, then hop back down and go up the LEFT set of boxes to
find a 1UP, collect it and carefully make your way back down, all while avoiding
the fire these ghosts throw.  Now, from the box in the center on the bottom, hop
off and begin floating, float down to collect the 2nd cystal shard (2), then
quickly float to one of the nearby platforms, otherwise you will die and lose a
life.
Now hop down the stairs on the right and exit this building. Okay, you can use
the boxes to get across the water (and kill the flying enemies) or you can just
swim your way across (and kill the water enemies).  Your choice, just make your
way across.  Okay, now this part is rather alarming, when you come to the large
white block on the ground, do NOT step on it, it lifts up and smashes with
another rock up above, which will kill you. Continue on, kill the Cutter enemy
and then float all the way up in between the 2 large blocks to find a lone star
on a platform. Get it and jump down, then float over the next white block,
making sure not to step on it.
When you land on the ground, kill the enemy and float over another white block
on the floor. Kill the guard enemy standing on the platform and then jump up
onto it. Then go up to the next platform for a yellow star. Collect it, and then
float over the next white block. Kill the fish on the other side, and if  you
wish, kill the guard enemy on top of the platform.
You will now have to cross over more water, here I suggest you swim in the water
and kill the 2 enemies there, it's much easier than confronting the flying
enemies. But be careful, because there is a white block, under water here.
Swim/Float over it and on the other side, float up a lot to get on top of the
wall, go up the steps, collecting the yellow stars and into the opening at the
top.
On the other side, go over the wavy wall, and kill the guard enemy you first
come to. Continue going over it, and be careful of many things.  There are
cannons shooting at you in the background as well as enemies to deal with in the
foreground, so kill the enemies as best as you can without being hit by any
oncoming cannon balls.  There are also many yellow stars on this platform, so
collect all of them as you go. Continue on, killing the spring enemy near the
end of the wall. Head down and back up the sets of stairs, and kill the
guard enemy at the end, then walk through the opening in the wall.
You will now get help from the king, he lets you ride on his back, and you will
now be controlling him. The king uses a hammer as his weapon, so venture forward
and break the wall with the hammer. Now, climb up the pole (and hop of for a
second to collect the 2 stars), and jump off on the left side to find another
pole.  Climb it to the top, and jump off to the left. Climb the small
ladder on the wall and break the wall blocking your way with the king's hammer.
Climb the long ladder on the side of the wall, and try to avoid being hit with
the toad enemies fire. At the top, jump off to the right and do a super long
jump right at the edge to get to the next platform.
Break the wall, and collect the cystal shard (3). Head back to the bottom where
the first pole was, jump off and break the wall to find another pole, climb it,
and jump off to the left, break this wall and climb another pole, jump off once
more, break the wall and you will find 3 stars in a little area, collect them
all.  Climb down one pole and hop across, break the wall and go down the ladder
(after going up to get the 2 yellow stars) on the right wall, where you will
find 2 more yellow stars. Climb the ladder back up and jump out the way you came
in. Climb down the pole and break the wall to find another ladder on the right
wall and some enemies below.
Kill the 2 spider enemies which will dangle from the celing.  Then go forward
and eat the Maxim Tomato, you will then come to a dead end. Head back out the
way you came in. Go across the pole into the next area, climb down this pole to
find 2 blocked walls, break them both and go into the one on the right. Kill the
cactus enemy and eat the food here.  Then hop out and go through the other wall
you broke, climb the ladder on the left wall. There is just a guard enemy here,
so kill it and go back down.
Now head to the center of this room where you will find a long pole, climb it to
the top to find a wall blocking your way, break the wall and continue out
through the opening in the wall to finish the level.  Play the closing game to
fully complete the 2nd level on the 2nd world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORLD 2: ROCK STAR - LEVEL 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRYSTAL SHARDS: 1.) Break through dinosaur bones and collect shard in mouth.
2.) Defeat Arrow Enemy.
3.) Swim to the upper left corner when going upward underwater.
Okay, you will be dropped into this level. Make sure you have the rock or double
rock ability equipped for this level. Go backwards (Left) quite a bit this time
to find a piece of cake, eat it for one circler on your HEALTH METER to
replenish, then continue forward again (Right).  You will come to some skull
headed enemies that can fly here, there will be about 4 of them, kill them and
continue going right. Go up the hill of sand where you will find a fire enemy,
kill it and  go up the next hill. Break open the 2 boxes, the one on the left
contains a yellow star. Kill the next fire enemy you come to and continue going.
Break the next 2 boxes you come to and kill the flying skull enemy. You will
then come to 3 mini-eyeballs of darkness and evil. Kill them and break open the
box. Now you will be placed in front of the mouth of a dinosaur, which has the
cystal shard in it's mouth, but you can't get in yet. Float up and land on top
of the dinosaur skull. Then, go down the back of the dinosaur killing the flying
skull enemies. You will notice a brown colored bone on the back of the dinosaur.
Use your rock ability on it to break through and go into the dinosaur's mouth to
collect the cystal shard (1). Hop back out and continue down the back of the
dinosaur.
At the bottom, drop of into the sand again and go up the small hill of sand.
Kill the fire enemy and the 3 eyeballs and continue on. Then go down into the
sand and destroy the 2 gophers (sand), then go up another hill of sand to find 2
bone throwers and some meat all on 3 different platforms.  First, eliminate the
2 bone throwers, then jump up and eat the meat on the 3rd platform. Go down the
hill to find a swirling funnel of sand. In the middle are 3 stars, jump in and
fall through the funnel of sand and you will land on another pile down below.
Go left to find yet another funnel, jump in and you will land right into the
hands of the arrow boss. Stand on the rock underneathe him and hit him with your
ability, or you can inhale the mini arrow enemies and spit them at the large one,
you choose. Once he is defeated, the rock will disappear and you will drop into
the background where you can collect your cystal shard (2). Now go right across
the bridge, killing the 3 enemies and hop into the sand funnel at the end.  Go
right and kill the 2 fish, and destroy the snowman. Now, you will see a very
large funnel in the middle here, don't go in it. Instead, hop onto the platforms
and make your way across, just make sure you aren't caught by the claw that
comes up from the funnel, also beware the the sailing enemies that will knock
you off the platform if you aren't careful.
Once on the other side of the funnel, you will find a pond. Break the boxes and
then go in the water, killing the enemies and fish below. Hop out and kill the
next arrow enemy (that tries to knock you off the platforms).  You will find
