'''Dark Castle''' is the seventh and final level in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' and belongs to the [[Rainbow Islands]]. As the name implies, the level is set primarily in the interior regions of a castle swarming with enemies. When playing on a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System#Super Game Boy|Super Game Boy]], the level features a purple hue and the stage select area features thunderous, low-pitched wind noises.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQnIqVOiHBY Kirby's Dream Land 2 星のカービィ2 for the (Super) Game Boy SGB SOUND Functions] - nensondubois on YouTube</ref> The boss of this level is [[King Dedede]]. If [[Kirby]] managed to collect all the [[Rainbow Drop]]s up to this point, he will also battle [[Dark Matter]] after defeating Dedede.

==Cut-scene==
Kirby and all three of his friends overlook the castle in the distance. From there, after some 'discussion', Kirby mounts Rick and nudges Kine, then they all move off, with Kine lagging behind.

==Overview==
==Stage 1==
Dark Castle consists of the most individual stages of any level, at seven standard and one for the final boss fight. Despite this, most of the stages are rather short, and tend to mirror each-other. Even given the short length of these stages, Dark Castle's bridges and hallways are perilous, being filled with hazards (including an enormous number of [[spike]]s), tough enemies, and auto-scrolling areas. Every [[Mid-Boss]] in the game is fought as Kirby and his [[Animal Friend]]s ascend the castle.
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins in an exterior zone across many crumbling bridges.  


The [[Rainbow Drop]] can be found in Stage 7. Although every path in Stage 7 leads to the Rainbow Drop room, only a specific path will allow Kirby to reach the drop. That path is revealed via a cryptic message written in a dark room.
'''Room 2''' - The door leads to an auto-scrolling area in tight hallways. The first ascent through a spiky chute is rather tricky, and Kirby is prone to get pricked, then [[Crusher|crushed]] if he is not quick. From there, the hall continues past many Waddle Dees and Bouncy Tys until the door is reached.


===Stages===
'''Room 3''' - Kirby must contend with [[Efreeti]]. Defeating it opens the stage exit.
Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Defeating [[King Dedede]] and collecting every [[Rainbow Drop]] is necessary to move on to the final battle with [[Dark Matter]]. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table.

==Stage 2==
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins with a drop down a hallway to a pool, along with some other enemies. The pool continues to the right with a very large menagerie of Glunks and Blippers. From there, out of the water, a line of Icicles guard the door to the next room.
 
'''Room 2''' - The next room is a chamber with pockets containing every ability-providing enemy except for [[Sir Kibble|Load Kibble]], who is replaced by a [[Gordo]]. From there, another door leads to a hallway filled with spike pits and Spikeys. There are two doors at the other end, one above the other. Two more doors can be found on the other side of the wall.
 
The upper door leads to a room with a Blade guarding Kine in a bag. Once Kine is free, two doors appear, one on each side, the left door leads back into the previous area, while the right door leads to the other side.
 
The lower door leads to a split chamber with three [[1-Up]]s on one side. Kirby will have to do some maneuvering to get on the side with the 1-Ups.
 
Back on the main path, it continues to the right past falling Icicles, crumbling platforms, and a [[Sir Kibble|Load Kibble]] guarding the door to the next area.
 
'''Room 3''' - Kirby must battle with [[Master Green]] to gain access to the stage exit.
