Gamble Galaxy is the eighth and final level of Kirby: Squeak Squad, featuring an outer space environment, as well as a stage on the Halberd. It has one Ability Scroll and two bosses, those being Dark Daroach and Dark Nebula. At four stages long, it is the shortest level in the game, and the only one that does not feature an extra stage.
Stages
Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table.

Gamble Galaxy-Boss: Dark Daroach
The stage begins along a thin outer space platform. Three bubbles are made available, containing the Cutter and Parasol abilities, as well as a random item. The door to the boss chamber is just beyond.
The chamber itself is a simple flat area. Daroach appears again, but this time he bears a different color scheme. His attacks are much like they were before, but with the exception of the Triple Star Cane, have all been made more powerful. Once Dark Daroach is defeated, he falls unconscious and reverts to his normal self, a dark star jumping out of him. It bounces around for a bit, then rushes off to the right. Kirby then obtains the Triple Star cane from Daroach and chases after it.
Final Boss: Dark Nebula
From there, Kirby must run to the right, chasing the dark star as it bounces along, dealing with pitfalls and enemies in the process. This continues through a Warp Star flight path, then up a vertical shaft, as Kirby must dodge boulders and collect some more bubbles in the process. Once Kirby gets on another Warp Star, it takes him to a crystal-laden arena, where the dark star expands itself to reveal its true form, Dark Nebula. Here, Kirby has to do battle with it, fighting it with the Triple Star's projectiles as it changes form and unleashes elemental attacks. After Dark Nebula takes enough hits, it dissipates, finally defeated, completing the level, and the game.
