Dark Castle - Stage 7 is the seventh stage of Dark Castle in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and the final regular stage in the game. The last Rainbow Drop can be found here.

Overview

The stage begins at the bottom of a tall tower. Kirby will have to be quick to jump if he has Kine or Rick in tow, or else he will have to abandon them at the bottom. From there, the path continues upward past many spikes and hazards, in a rather tight squeeze.

The door leads to a dark room filled with Glunks and Star Blocks. An important hint to acquiring the last Rainbow Drop can be gleaned here.

The next section of chambers is a hodgepodge of ability-providing enemies and doorways behind blocks that can only be broken with certain powers. To reach the Rainbow Drop at the end, Kirby will have to follow a specific sequence of doors. All other blocked routes will lead to the Rainbow Drop room, but will place Kirby in an area where he cannot get it.

The next few rooms are vertical rises past several different enemies. Kirby will have to contend with more of these rooms if he goes through the unblocked doors in the previous rooms earlier.

In the last room, Kirby must contend with Jumper Shoot to access the stage exit. Jumper Shoot will start the fight by quite rudely trying to land on Kirby's head.
