'''Ice Cream Island''' is the second level in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and subsequently, its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. This level has six primary stages, with its boss being [[Paint Roller]]. The museum [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] of this level are [[Laser]] and [[Fire]], and the Arena mid-boss of this level is [[Mr. Frosty]]. In ''Kirby's Adventure'', Kirby can play the sub-games [[Egg Catcher]] and [[Crane Fever]] in this level; in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', they have been replaced by [[Kirby's Air Grind]] and [[Bomb Rally]].
'''Ice Cream Island''' is the second level in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and subsequently, its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. This level has five stages, with its boss being [[Paint Roller]]. The museum [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] of this level are [[Laser]] and [[Fire]], and the Arena mid-boss of this level is [[Mr. Frosty]]. In ''Kirby's Adventure'', Kirby can play the sub-games [[Egg Catcher]] and [[Crane Fever]] in this level; in ''Nightmare in Dream Land'', they have been replaced by [[Kirby's Air Grind]] and [[Bomb Rally]].


The intro cutscene shows Kirby relaxing on a lounger imagining all the sweets he could possibly think of. However one of those dreams include a [[Waddle Doo]] hitting him on the head with the hammer. Kirby actually felt it himself! He drops his sunglasses and looks around but no one is there!
== Intro cutscene ==
Before entering the hub for the first time, a brief cutscene plays adorned in a cyan (indigo in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'') frame with the level's name overhead in the scene. The scene portrays Kirby reclining in a folding chair on a grassy cliff-side overlooking a tropical beach, wearing a pair of sunglasses and with a fruity beverage aside the chair. While visibly daydreaming of various sweets, a [[Waddle Doo]] appears from one of his thought clouds and strikes him with a hammer before disappearing. Having been knocked off of the chair and losing his shades, Kirby looks around frantically for the source of the blow he just received, but finds nothing as the scene fades to white.


==Stages==
== Overview ==
Ice Cream Island amps up the difficulty from the previous level by featuring longer stages with more environmental hazards to contend with. [[Bottomless pit]]s become increasingly common, though most of them are found at the bottom of large pools of [[Water (environment)|water]], making them easier to avoid. A good majority of the stages take place in and around the ocean, with plenty of tropical walkways, pools of water, cave systems (many of which are flooded) and a few trips to sandy dunes and cloud tops. Enemies begin to become more numerous and aggressive, with a good many standing in Kirby's way up in the clouds of Stage 5, as well as in the water.
 
In Stage 3, Kirby faces off against the [[Meta-Knights]] for the first time. These encounters will continue with some regularity in subsequent stages until Kirby confronts [[Meta Knight|their leader]] at the end of [[Orange Ocean]].
 
=== Hub ===
The hub of Ice Cream Island begins in a rather cramped area, but opens up both upward and to the right as stages are cleared. Access to the first sub-game ([[Egg Catcher]] in ''Kirby's Adventure'' and [[Kirby's Air Grind]] in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'') is granted after clearing Stage 1. Access to the second sub-game ([[Crane Fever]] in ''Kirby's Adventure'' and [[Bomb Rally]] in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'') is granted after clearing Stage 2. Access to the [[Museum]] (which contains [[Fire]] and [[Laser]]) is granted after clearing Stage 3. Lastly, access to the [[Arena (Kirby's Adventure)|Arena]] (versus [[Mr. Frosty]]) is granted after clearing Stage 4.
 
The hub itself opens up to reveal a large ocean scene, with the stage doors located on floating walkways and stranded islands in the water. At the right end is a large castle where the door to Stage 6 can be found.
 
===Stages===
Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Clearing Stage 6 is necessary to move on to [[Butter Building]]. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table.

Section 1: The stage begins with Kirby falling a short distance into a small pit with a bridge across the middle and a [[Parasol Waddle Dee]] floating down just to the right. From there, Kirby will need to jump past a bottomless pit to get to an outcropping with the door to the next section atop it.

Section 2: The door leads to a cave where Kirby drops into a small pool. Spikes adorn the ceiling, and Bomb Block barriers block the path downward. The area then becomes a bit of a maze, with several doors and paths to take. The door to the left, blocked off by a Bomb Block formation, leads to a small side-chamber containing a [[Maxim Tomato]] and a [[U.F.O. (enemy)|U.F.O.]]. Going through the door to the right takes Kirby to a new area, with a water-filled tunnel full of [[Blipper]]s and a [[Gordo]]. This then leads back into the previous section, now in a different area of the cave. One of the branching paths from here will lead to a [[1Up]]. The other will lead through to the door to the next section, past a number of enemies and a Bomb Block barrier.

===Stage 4===
[[File:Ice Cream Island NinDL Stage 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby uses [[Mike]] on a trio of [[Scarfy|Scarfies]] in Stage 4 (Nightmare in Dream Land).]]
Section 1: The stage begins on top of a flat cloud canopy. The path continues to the right past a few Bronto Burts and Waddle Dees as the canopy begins to split into separate clouds, creating pitfalls here and there. A doorway appears between two columns that leads to an optional room containing Bounders/Gips and a 1Up. From there, the path continues past more enemies over a wide pit, and a Maxim Tomato can be found encased in Star Blocks. The door to the next section can be found at the end of the path.
 
Section 2: The door leads back to the surface, where three enemies can be found encased in a stairway, including one who had not been seen up to this point, [[Rocky]]. Swallowing it yields the [[Stone]] ability. Climbing the stairs drops Kirby into a pit where he must fight [[Mr. Tick Tock]]. Defeating and swallowing him yields the [[Mike]] ability. The door to the next section can be found behind a pillar from there.
 
Section 3: The door leads back to the cloud canopy. The path continues downward on cloud steppes as many Scarfies vie to get in the way. Kirby might be able to convince them to leave if he shouts loud enough. The door to the next section lies at the bottom of the clouds.
 
Section 4: The door leads to the surface again, where a [[Laser Ball]] can be found trapped in a floating bit of ground, and several enemies and items are stuck in the ceiling. Swallowing the Laser Ball will grant Kirby a new technique, [[Laser]], which will let him free the ceiling objects by bouncing his lasers up there using slopes. One such object along the path is a [[Shotzo]], so it may not be the best idea to free it. Just above the door to the next section, a 1Up can be freed from the ceiling as well.
 
Section 5: The door leads to a sandy beach area, where Kirby is onset by another Laser Ball. To the right, another Shotzo must be dodged before coming across another optional doorway leading to a room with several enemies guarding an Energy Drink. If Kirby still has Laser, he can easily dispatch the [[Glunk]] guarding the ladder. The path then continues along the right past more Laser Balls, Shotzos and other ne'er-do-wells. The stage exit can be found past a series of stone steppes, guarded by a [[Waddle Doo]].

===Stage 5===
[[File:Ice Cream Island NinDL Stage 5.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby gets at a [[1Up]] cache using [[Burning]] in Stage 5 (Nightmare in Dream Land).]]
Section 1: The stage begins in a forest setting, as the path leads to the right past some logs. From there, [[Parasol Waddle Dee]]s and Shotzos harass the pink puffball as he continues along the path. A Parasol can even be seen carrying a Shotzo down into place. After dodging many more angry cannons, Kirby will find the door to the next section on a suspended branch, though an Energy Drink can also be found further right.
 
Section 2: The door leads to an open coastline area, as a series of platforms lead upward. This drops off into a sloped pit containing a few [[Wheelie]]s. Further down the path, several Laser Balls will attempt to ambush Kirby, as the path splits into two, the upper one continuing along the hills, and the lower one through a thing tunnel containing a [[Noddy]]. The upper path leads to an open door to the next section. If Kirby has the [[Wheel]] ability, however, he can plow through this lower path, past a [[Gordo]], and through a Bomb Block barrier to reach an alternate doorway, inaccessible from above. This lower doorway leads to a separate chamber, consisting of a pool with Gordos and an Energy Drink inside before returning to the main path.
 
Section 3: The door leads to a dry canyon area, with a few drop-through platforms leading to an open space where many Sword Knights will attempt to have at Kirby. To the left, a Bomb Block wall, when activated, reveals a doorway to a side chamber containing [[Flamer]]s. The path continues along the right, past many open spaces and enemies. A 1Up can be accessed by using [[Burning]] to plow through the metal blocks encasing it. In fact, two more 1Ups can be collected in a similar manner, so long as Kirby remembers to avoid falling into the bottomless pit afterwards. The door to the next section can be found at the top-right edge of the path, guarded by a number of enemies.
 
Section 4: The door leads to a cloud-top area, where two [[Starman|Starmen]] can be found on both sides of Kirby, with a checkered pattern of Star Blocks hanging above. Swallowing a Starman will grant Kirby the [[Hi-Jump]] ability, which he can use to ascend through the Star Blocks with ease. Within the Star Block formation are several more objects, including more Starmen, an Energy Drink, and a couple [[Bomber]]s. The door to the next section can be found above this formation.
 
Section 5: The door leads to another cloud canopy area, where two [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] can be seen balancing on fruit. One of which is a Maxim Tomato. To get this treat before the Poppy Bro. rolls off-stage with it, Kirby will need to dispatch the rider without hitting the tomato. The stage exit can be found further right from there, past a flock of Bronto Burts.

===Boss: Paint Roller===
[[File:Ice Cream Island NinDL Boss.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Paint Roller]] paints something to attack Kirby with (Nightmare in Dream Land).]]
Immediately upon entering the Boss Door, Kirby finds himself in a room with two elevated platforms on each side, and must fight the trickster foe known as [[Paint Roller]]. In each corner of the room is a blank painter's canvas, and Paint Roller rides toward one of them at random to paint something. This object then comes to life, jumps off the canvas and attacks Kirby in a manner depending on the object itself. Kirby can usually swallow this object and use it as a projectile against Paint Roller. Otherwise, he will need to engage Paint Roller directly with a [[Copy Ability]].
 
Objects painted include a Waddle Dee, a cloud that drops lightning bolts, a small car, a baseball that homes in on Kirby, a microphone, and a copy of Kirby. Some of these items will yield Copy Abilities when swallowed. Paint Roller may also rarely paint a bomb, in which case, swallowing it gives Kirby the [[Crash]] ability, and license to end the fight right then and there.
 
Defeating Paint Roller causes it to explode, yielding the next [[Star Rod]] piece for Kirby to collect.

Ice Cream Island is the second level in Kirby's Adventure, and subsequently, its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. This level has six primary stages, with its boss being Paint Roller. The museum Copy Abilities of this level are Laser and Fire, and the Arena mid-boss of this level is Mr. Frosty. In Kirby's Adventure, Kirby can play the sub-games Egg Catcher and Crane Fever in this level; in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, they have been replaced by Kirby's Air Grind and Bomb Rally.

Intro cutscene[edit]

Before entering the hub for the first time, a brief cutscene plays adorned in a cyan (indigo in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land) frame with the level's name overhead in the scene. The scene portrays Kirby reclining in a folding chair on a grassy cliff-side overlooking a tropical beach, wearing a pair of sunglasses and with a fruity beverage aside the chair. While visibly daydreaming of various sweets, a Waddle Doo appears from one of his thought clouds and strikes him with a hammer before disappearing. Having been knocked off of the chair and losing his shades, Kirby looks around frantically for the source of the blow he just received, but finds nothing as the scene fades to white.

Overview[edit]

Ice Cream Island amps up the difficulty from the previous level by featuring longer stages with more environmental hazards to contend with. Bottomless pits become increasingly common, though most of them are found at the bottom of large pools of water, making them easier to avoid. A good majority of the stages take place in and around the ocean, with plenty of tropical walkways, pools of water, cave systems (many of which are flooded) and a few trips to sandy dunes and cloud tops. Enemies begin to become more numerous and aggressive, with a good many standing in Kirby's way up in the clouds of Stage 5, as well as in the water.

In Stage 3, Kirby faces off against the Meta-Knights for the first time. These encounters will continue with some regularity in subsequent stages until Kirby confronts their leader at the end of Orange Ocean.

Hub[edit]

The hub of Ice Cream Island begins in a rather cramped area, but opens up both upward and to the right as stages are cleared. Access to the first sub-game (Egg Catcher in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby's Air Grind in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land) is granted after clearing Stage 1. Access to the second sub-game (Crane Fever in Kirby's Adventure and Bomb Rally in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land) is granted after clearing Stage 2. Access to the Museum (which contains Fire and Laser) is granted after clearing Stage 3. Lastly, access to the Arena (versus Mr. Frosty) is granted after clearing Stage 4.

The hub itself opens up to reveal a large ocean scene, with the stage doors located on floating walkways and stranded islands in the water. At the right end is a large castle where the door to Stage 6 can be found.

Stages[edit]

Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Clearing Stage 6 is necessary to move on to Butter Building. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table.
