Access Ark - Stage 8 EX is an optional extra stage in Access Ark, unlocked by completing Access Ark - Stage 7 EX. There are three Code Cubes and five stickers in this stage. The Golden Sticker is one depicting the Dream Hatcher.

Overview

The stage begins with Kirby running down a long series of chambers in the virtual space, each of which has hazards from earlier stages. At the very end of this long road, Kirby can find the Robobot Armor. From there, he will head all the way back to the start of the hall, clearing out the obstacles as he does so. From there, a portal can be accessed.

Through the portal, Kirby will end up in an area where the Wheel Mode can be utilized. After that, Kirby will need to pick up one of the other abilities to reset the armor, and head into an encounter with Clanky Woods.

In the final area, Kirby will operate two elevators to head up, then turn on a monitor which displays the top of the tower from Bubbly Clouds, where sprite depictions of Kirby and Meta Knight "duke it out". This also causes the stage exit to appear.

This is not the end of the stage, however; as per series tradition, a secret can be discovered by jumping up to the moon on the monitor, and entering it like a Door. This will take Kirby to Fine Fields, where he can untwist a screw to free-fall through some Point Stars and other goodies, eventually leading to an alternate exit.

Code Cube & Gold Sticker Guide

• Code Cube 1 - While heading back with the Robobot Armor, this cube can be found by smacking a billiard ball into a pile in the background to bring the treasure chest forward.
• Code Cube 2 - While heading back with the Robobot Armor, this cube can be found by twisting the wire screw all the way out, revealing some Waddle Dees playing Kirby's Adventure on a Famicom.
• Code Cube 3 - Defeating Clanky Woods will yield this cube.
• Gold Sticker - Within the hidden area inside the moon, untwist a screw in the foreground to reach a platform that has the Gold Sticker on it.
