 Area 1 | Lanterns and dark rooms challenge Kirby in this area. The darkness hides several hazardous elements such as spiked walls, spiked shutters, rotating spiked arms, and electric tiles. One particularly nasty room hasBlados chained to fans and very few lanterns. After navigating several areas with spiked arms, aswitch blocked by twin pillars of electrical rays will activate the spiked shutter to progress. The map of the area snakes from left to right throughout the entire stage.Waddle Dees are the only enemies present that can be defeated. Energy Drinks,Point Stars, andcheckpoints are all in plain sight and can be seen even in the darkened room. This area reappears as the Time Trial challenge of Rainbow Run. | This medal can be found in the first large room with fan switches orbited by Blados. It is in a pocket along the floor to the right. |
 Area 2 | Area 2 uses pipes to connect rooms. Kirby is automatically pulled into the pipe when close to it. This area also uses blocks with arrows on them as puzzle devices. The blocks will move in the direction indicated by the arrow. These puzzle devices are used to access areas, limitGordos movements, and block lasers in the static field that does not allowink use. Colored switches positioned beneath lasers and corresponding shutters are used as another stage challenge. Kirby must activate all of the switches in order to progress. The final stretch of the area has a large anti-ink zone and switches that open the shutters above pits. This area reappears as the Line Trial challenge of Rainbow Run. | This medal can be found in a chamber past the door forward. However, it is blocked off by a large blue Action Block, which can only be removed by pressing theBig Switch inFrozen Fantasy. |
 Area 3 | This area is another area focusing more on puzzles and challenges instead of combat. The first chamber is over a deadly pit and filled entirely with an anti-ink barrier. A series of rotating contact-activated cannons and fixed position cannons make up a new challenge. Firing in the wrong direction will cause Kirby to return to the first rotating cannon. The bumper pads and trampolines also serve to guide Kirby. The following area consists of a serpentine tunnel followed by a vertical shaft in which can simply be passed by riding a green pad. Waddle Dees,Bouncies, andFlame Shotzos are the only enemies present. | This medal is lodged in a small chamber blocked off with Metal Blocks. To get in, Kirby will need to use a Super Cannon and launch from it at the right moment while it is falling. |
