Rainbow Falls is the third of the seven stages ofGrass Land, inKirby's Epic Yarn andKirby's Extra Epic Yarn. To unlock it,Kirby must get the Alarm Clock Patch fromFlower Fields. This level heavily revolves around water and its functions, taking place in a grassy canyon and series of cave systems. Near the end, theMetamortexSpin Boarder is used and introduced, as Kirby rides downhill past a series of rainbows.

Upon clearing the stage for the first time, theBean Patch is obtained, allowing access to the next stage,Big-Bean Vine.

Patch animation[edit]

When Kirby throws theAlarm Clock Patch, it lands in a slot below the ground next to a sleeping bear. An alarm clock appears and wakes up the bear. The bear stretches and raises the earth above it into a small hill with rocks. Then the bear goes back to sleep and the door opens.

Overview[edit]

The stage starts out in a small cave behind a waterfall, before quickly transitioning outside to a grassy canyon. As Kirby progresses forward, he encounters a series of waterfalls, with water flowing down the surface of various platforms. These push Kirby (plusPrince Fluff in theWii version's co-op mode) and other objects (likeCloth Blocks) in the same direction as the water flow, slowing his movement and threatening to push him into the manybottomless pits scattered around the stage. The major enemies in this first part of the stage areWaddle Dees andGators.

Later, Kirby encounters aYin-Yarn patch which spawns a constrant stream ofParasol Waddle Dees. Afterwards, he enters a tunnel, with another Yin-Yarn patch present (this time spawning regular Waddle Dees). Both threaten to push Kirby into nearby pits if he does not maneuver carefully. If Kirby travels upwards, he reaches an alternate path containing Gators and atreasure.

Metamortex stretch[edit]

Soon after, Kirby reaches aMetamortex patch, which introduces theSpin Boarder. Kirby starts out moving slowly, as a series of signs teach him the basics of the Spin Border, before he starts to speed up and move downhill. Along the way, beads are placed to lure Kirby over enemies, like Gators andButtonflies, or to treasures andBonus Stars.

Eventually, after a big jump, Kirby passes through theReel Gate, with the stage ending shortly afterwards.
