When he tries to approach aWiggler Segment, the web underneath it breaks and causes it to fall into the hole. After Mario jumps into the hole, he is bounced by several webs on the way down, causing him to lose all of hisstickers andKersti in the process. In the burrow, the Wiggler Segment andComet Piece are stuck behind giant webs. The webs can be broken with Mario'shammer. During the fight with theBig Scuttlebug, it makes a web that traps Mario if he uses a jump attack on it. It must be destroyed using other types of stickers. To reach and free Kersti, Mario must repeatedly jump on webs to break them.
