Big Forest is the second level inKirby's Dream Land 2 and belongs to theRainbow Islands. As the name implies, the level is set inside a large woodland area, with a generally green hue. It is notable for being the first level in the game to featureCoo the owl. The level's bosses areNruff and Nelly. This level followsGrass Land and is followed byRipple Field.

Cutscene[edit]

Coo appears next to Kirby on a rocky cliff, where he helps Kirby pluck a fruit from a hanging branch, but accidentally makes him collide with the side of the cliff where it is hanging, causing him to lose the fruit and angrily yell at Coo.

Overview[edit]

Consisting of three regular stages and a fourth for the boss, Big Forest is a fairly short level. Like with Grass Land, Big Forest does not feature much in the way ofbottomless pits or other environmental hazards. However, it does offer much greater variation in topography, with many isolated platforms, as well as a few fully vertical areas. To tackle this,Coo appears shortly into the level, and his ability to fly quickly makes Big Forest a breeze to travel through.

TheRainbow Drop does not appear directly on Kirby's path this time, instead being tucked away in a side-door near the start of Stage 2, bellow the starting treetop. This time, Kirby doesn't need the help of one of his animal friends, as he can simply use theNeedle copy ability to obtain his secondRainbow Drop.

Stages[edit]

Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. DefeatingNruff and Nelly is necessary to move on toRipple Field. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table.
