This stage takes place in an underground setting. Kirby will first need to make use of a number of lifts that will ferry him over the bottomless pits ahead. There are quite a few of these, spread out over various rooms and pits of differing size and shape. Further up, Kirby needs to deal with bumpers and crumbling floors as he snakes his way further into the tunnel before reaching the gate. From here, Kirby will need to make use of red and blue lifts which need to be moved manually using the A and B buttons respectively. This done, he will need to use regular lifts to pass by platforms with Waddle Dees on them and then ride one more red lift along a long bottomless corridor with bumpers moving through it to reach the goal pad at the end.
In the Extra Game, some lifts are placed in different ways, and the Waddle Dees are replaced with blue rotating bars. There are also a few extra bumpers at the end.
