Level 5-1 is the first stage of Level 5 in Kirby's Blowout Blast.
Layout
The stage starts immediately with an enemy ambush in an area where the path forward past some walls is blocked off momentarily. Kirby must battle the Mid-Boss Mini Masher before he can proceed. After this, Kirby can make only a small amount of progress before he is stopped by a second ambush, this time involving Spear Waddle Dees. From here, Kirby moves onto a narrow bridge, where he faces a third ambush. When this is cleared, Kirby can move along the bridge, which turned to the right past more spear-throwers, then back down another bridge where he is ambushed yet again. When this is cleared, Kirby will need to hop along some isolated platforms while dodging more spears. This will eventually lead him to an enclosed area with five separate platforms where the last ambush takes place. Once this ambush is dealt with, the stage is complete.

Tips
The following are tips for how to obtain a Platinum trophy on this stage:
- Time is of the essence when playing this stage. Kirby may not have time to wait for Spear Waddle Dees to chuck their weapons at him, and will have to take the riskier move of swallowing them directly to save time.
- A big combo of 15 can be obtained if Kirby inhales the Spear Waddle Dees on the bridge and then carries them past the three Waddle Dees shortly after, then spits his payload out at the enemies that appear during the following ambush, also hitting the Waddle Dees he passed by.

Level 5-1EX is the first stage of Level 5EX. It has the same layout as Level 5-1, but features a different array of enemies and score coin positions. The main differences in layout are as follows:
- All the enemy ambushes have different enemy line-ups.
- Shotzos and Spear Waddle Dees are added to the first ambush, and Mini Masher is replaced with a regular Masher.
- The second ambush is removed, replaced with continually-firing Shotzos.
- A new ambush is added after the first one on the bridge, involving Bouncies.
- More Shotzos are added along the latter parts of the stage, and in the last ambush.

Tips
The following are tips for how to obtain a Platinum trophy on this stage:
- The spears thrown by the Sectra Dees during the battle with Masher can be used to defeat Masher more quickly.
- Alternatively, Kirby can inhale the previous set of enemies to throw a big blaster bullet at Masher as soon as it appears.
- Kirby runs at the same speed as a Shotzo's bullet, which can allow him to keep pace on the last walkway as he grabs coins.
