Level 3: Onion Ocean is the third level in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. This level starts in a beach, but mostly takes place underwater. Completion of the boss battle against Fatty Puffer yields the left wing to the Lor Starcutter. There are sixteen Energy Spheres in this level, three in stage 1, four each in stage 2 and 3, and five in stage 4.

Stages

Stage 1

Section 1: The stage starts Kirby off on a beach under a palm tree, with the path leading immediately into the water. The other shore of the pool leads to some trees that yield Coconuts, which can be blocked with the Parasol if Kirby obtains the ability from the Parasol Waddle Dee there as well. On top of the trees are platforms with various foes. A shell arrow sign leads to a cave with a rope across the ceiling and pools of water below with interspersed spiky platforms. Occasional breaks in the cave ceiling hold stars as the rope takes Kirby past a Shotzo firing upwards. After the rope, there is a tree with a Chilly underneath, and an Ice Copy Pedestal on top of the next tree to supply Ice again if Kirby missed it the first time. Then comes another cave section with another rope and spiked floors and pool, with a section of the floor made of Fire Blocks. Kirby can use Ice to get rid of these blocks, uncovering Food, stars and a 1Up. After that, another wooded area is found with a Foley and lots of coconuts, including giant ones, which guard the Warp Star to the next section.

The Warp Star carries Kirby and anyone with him up the sandy cliffs, bouncing off enemies as it does so.

Section 2: Kirby lands on a sandy cliff with more palm trees, as Parasol Dees and a Parasol Copy Pedestal are visible just ahead. Kirby then must go down the cliff side, navigating past blocks and enemies as he does so. Occasionally there are depressions in the cliff wall with items inside, including one that leads to a small cave pool full of stars, but blocked off by a gray block that Kirby needs to Super Inhale to get rid of. At the bottom of the cliff is a pool with some Barracu swimming in it and a door in the water backed by a large Conch.

Section 3: The door leads inside another pool backed by a wall of sand to the left, with some Walfs at the surface. Just out of the pool is a beach area where Kirby can get the Tornado ability from a passing Twister, as well as a Tornado Copy Pedestal. Up the hill leads to a small cave entrance with a shallow pool and a few enemies. This leads to another opening that goes downhill and features a row of giant coconuts on trees. At the bottom of the hill is a deep pool and an entrance to a an area walled off on both sides. Kirby must ascend by jumping on floating canopies and avoiding falling Coconuts from above to find the next door on top of the rightward wall.

Section 4: The next area features squared-off sand cliffs and woven wood fall-through platforms. Immediately visible is a Pierce which can give Kirby the Spear Ability. After walking through a shallow cave, it opens up to a wooden platform floating on a deep pool with Gordos in it. The platform has a button on it which, when pressed, causes the platform to start moving to the right across the water. Bronto Burts are fluttering in the way of the platform's path and must be disposed of to cross safely. On the other side, there is a tree with a Waddle Dee swinging from it and a canopied ladder past that with a Waddle Doo doing the same thing. From here, another deep Gordo pool and button platform await, this time with Spear-wielding flyers and a Coconut tree waiting at the end. From there another pool lies below a walkway made of blocks that fall shortly after being touched. Another swinging Waddle Dee will attempt to get in the way here, and a Whippy waits on the other side. The next water platform section features a button in the ceiling being guarded by a Gordo. Kirby will need to use a long-range weapon that can aim straight up, such as Whip or Spear to push it safely and reveal an optional doorway that leads to an Energy Sphere. One more falling block walkway and button platform await, which takes Kirby at last to the door to the next section.

Section 5: The door leads to a clearing with a multitude of trees, both as platforms and in the background. To the right is a long beach area occupied by flaming tikis and sandcastles of various sizes, garrisoned by Waddle Dees. Kirby will quickly happen upon a Super Chilly and get the Snow Bowl super ability, which he can use to destroy the tikis and the sandcastles. Many of these items will get flattened as Kirby rolls across this section, including a large castle with a Blade Knight and Hot Head standing guard. The next door leads into the next part of the Snow Bowl section.

Section 6: The section starts at a ramp, which Kirby can immediately Snow Bowl down to collect a multitude of enemies along the way. Parts of the section feature bottomless pits, but they are not tricky to avoid. The last sandcastle is located to the right, guarded by two tiki statues. Destroying the castle opens the rift to the alternate dimension.

Alternate Dimension: The area features a monochrome version of the sandy terrain seen thus far, but boxed into a vertical descending section as the rift comes in from above. Along the way, there are large blocks of sandy ground that move when buttons are pressed, as well as bomb blocks that need to be spat at to clear out walls. The path proceeds in a zig-zag pattern, and soon Super Inhale blocks and Gordos need to be dealt with, as well as floating cubes of water with Blippers and Glunks in them. A 1Up is present over a wooden platform if Kirby can reach it fast enough to avoid getting crushed. After the door is reached, the Tornado and Sword Abilities are offered, and a Fire Sphere Doomer is fought on a platform surrounded on both sides by deep water. Once it is defeated, the remaining two Energy Spheres are revealed. Once Kirby has escaped the rift, he can proceed past the right tiki statue up the hill and immediately find the stage exit.
