==Overview==
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.
 
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.

The stage begins with a climb up a silent tower. At the bottom, an [[Energy Drink]] can be found in a pool of water. The door to the boss's chamber can be found above.
At the top, Kirby must contend with King Dedede, who appears to be sleepwalking (and sleep-fighting). His attacks are mild when he's asleep, but he may occasionally wake and go berserk.
When Dedede is defeated, he staggers to the middle of the arena and falls over. At that point, if Kirby collected all of the Rainbow Drops, [[Dark Matter]] will emerge from Dedede's body, and Kirby will form the drops into the [[Rainbow Sword]]. Once the sword is formed, Kirby will grab onto it, and be whisked into the sky after the true foe.

Once in the air, Kirby and Dark Matter begin their fight. Dark Matter fights in two phases - one as his swordsman form, and the second in his true eyeball form. Each form has a separate life-bar, and if Kirby fails at any point, both will have to be fought again.
Dark Matter attacks by charging, tossing orbs, and shooting lasers and bolts of lightning. Kirby can swipe at him directly using the sword, or can knock the orbs back at him to deal more damage. However, in Dark Matter's second phase, both combatants are falling from the sky, so {{realMe}} doesn't have much time to react as Kirby fights Dark Matter. Should Kirby take too long to defeat Dark Matter, he will burn up in Popstar's atmosphere.
Once both forms are defeated, the level, and subsequently the game, is complete.

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 purple-hued interior regions of a castle swarming with enemies. The boss of this level is King Dedede. If Kirby managed to collect all the Rainbow Drops 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

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 spikes), tough enemies, and auto-scrolling areas. Every Mid-Boss in the game is fought as Kirby and his Animal Friends ascend the castle.

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.
