Nutty Noon - Stage 5 is the fifth stage of Nutty Noon in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. This stage serves as this game's version of the Tower of Mid-Bosses. There are four Energy Spheres in this stage. The Mid-Boss Dubior debuts in this stage.
Overview
The stage begins outside a looming tower sitting atop the nighttime cloudscape. The wind howls eerily, though no hazards are present here. Kirby will need to enter the tower to begin his ascent.
Once entering the doorway, Kirby will be subject to a series of trials, where he will need to fight a Mid-Boss on each subsequent floor, then solve a puzzle in another room to get an Energy Sphere. Kirby fights the following foes in order of appearance:
After clearing the tower, Kirby can proceed to the right out of the tower to find the stage exit.
Alternate Path
There is a hidden path in this stage, much like there was in its older incarnation in Kirby's Adventure. From the opening area outside the tower, if, instead of going through the door, Kirby hovers above it and goes through the barred window, he can access the other, harder path. Excluding the first section, this is how it progresses.
Kirby follows an inverted path from the original, with a number of different challenges and puzzles. Kirby fights the mid-bosses in this order, often in more difficult spaces:
After clearing the tower, Kirby can proceed to the left out of the tower to find the stage exit.
Energy Sphere Guide
This stage is unique, in that the energy spheres appear in two distinct places depending on which path Kirby takes. Collecting the spheres on one path collects them on the other, so only one path needs to be taken to get them all.
Main Path
- After defeating Gigant Edge, Kirby can cut a String Platform in the next room to get this sphere.
- After defeating Moundo, Kirby can bust through some metal blocks to get this sphere.
- After defeating Water Galboros, Kirby can bust through some fire blocks using the Water ability to get this sphere.
- After defeating Dubior, Kirby can use the Spark ability to access a sphere in the next room.
Secret Path
- After defeating Water Galboros, Kirby can use the Water ability to bust through some fire blocks and raise the spikes to get the sphere.
- After defeating Dubior, Kirby can use the Spark ability to access a sphere in the next room.
- After defeating Gigant Edge & Kibble Blade, Kirby can use either of their abilities in the next room to cut a String Platform and get the sphere.
- The final sphere can be found in the final reward room after defeating Bonkers & Moundo, when Kirby hits the two Stakes in the floor.
