This stage takes place in the sky, and as such [[Meta Knight]] is forced to fly through the first section. As Meta Knight flies, he will collect plenty of [[Bead|Fuse Beads]] and contend with bead-carrying [[Bronto Burt]]s as well as [[UFO (enemy)|UFOs]] that shoot dangerous lasers. The masked swordsman will then arrive at the nose of the Halberd, and, with no entrance in sight, he will be forced to move along the ship's surface. In this short stretch, he will encounter various obstacles, including a [[Halberd cannon]], a group of Yarn blocks containing beads, and more Bronto Burts and UFOs. As Meta Knight battles these foes, the screen will scroll up and to the right until he comes across a Combo Cannon, beginning the first enemy ambush section of the stage.

As Meta Knight battles these foes, the screen will scroll up and to the right until he comes across a Combo Cannon, beginning the first enemy ambush section of the stage.


The first ambush requires Meta Knight to destroy the Combo Cannon blocking his path, and to do so he must land hits while also avoiding the cannon's laser blasts and cannonballs. Along with the Combo Cannon, there are pairs of [[Orbitfly|Orbitflies]] that fly toward the middle of the screen as well as a variant of UFO that flies horizontally without shooting lasers. After completing the first ambush section, Meta Knight will finally enter the Halberd and have to navigate a narrow zig-zagging path littered with Cloth Blocks, UFOs, and Halberd cannons. Then, he will arrive at the second enemy ambush in which he will do battle with pairs of horizontally flying UFOs, groups of four Orbitflies that fly outward in every direction, and several [[Chain Flamer]]s.

The next section of Stage 4 involves agile maneuvering around walls and Flamethrowers attached to both the floor and ceiling. This part of the stage also includes intricate bead formations and Luminas for Meta Knight to collect if he is quick enough. Scattered along the way are a few harmless [[Waddle Dee]]s and Bronto Burts. The screen then briefly converges into two paths, the top containing a long series of Yarn blocks and the bottom some Luminas in between Flamethrowers, before the stage scrolls down and to the right. As Meta Knight follows the path deeper into the heart of the Halberd, he will once again be tested with Bronto Burts and laser-shooting UFOs. He will also come across plenty of Cloth Blocks and a Combo Cannon that he can slash through before facing off against the final boss of the stage and of Slash & Bead.

In the final enemy ambush section of this stage, Meta Knight will have to fight a Reactor. To succesfully destroy the Reactor, he must deal damage to the crystal in the center while being careful to avoid the streams of fire that the machine shoots in his direction. Meta Knight must also be wary of UFOs and Orbitflies that continuously rain down from the ceiling throughout the fight. After defeating the Reactor and using up all the available time, Meta Knight will have completed the stage and the Sub-Game.
