Hooplagoon, Relic of the Ruins is the last stage ofYellow Dunes. This stage pitsKirby against the mechanical relic bossHooplagoon within an ancient ruin. Completing this stage awards the HooplagoonFigurine and unlocks the next level:Indigo Ocean.

Overview[edit]

There are two principal areas in this stage. In the first, Kirby makes his way into a ruin similar to the one seen inThe Long-Lost Ruins. He'll have to dig through some soft clay on the way down and move aGrindarr out of the way before proceeding through the door.

Main article:Hooplagoon

The next room is wide and octagonal in shape. Before long,Hooplagoon emerges from the wall and begins his attack. Hooplagoon attacks by firing lasers from prongs between his plates while drifting around the room. To defeat him, Kirby must shatter each of his external plates. Each time a plate is broken, Hooplagoon grows in size and moves faster, while droppingPoint Stars. Three of the plates can be destroyed using simpleTouch Dashes, but the final plate is made of metal, requiring aStar Dash to break. Once Hooplagoon is defeated, Kirby and Elline have a victory dance, then move on toIndigo Ocean.
