Pancakes is one of the eight Race stages in Kirby's Dream Buffet. It is available at the start, and has the Kirbys racing on large trackways consisting of pancakes and waffles while climbing up walls of syrup and rolling along wafer slides.

Overview

This stage features a long series of wide straightaway tracks made mainly of waffles while the eponymous pancakes serve as rotating walls and tall stacks that can be climbed by means of the sticky syrup-falls on the front. In-between these straightaways are long curved wafer slides lined with strawberries. In addition to being made of pancakes and waffles, the stage also features whipped cream, cookies, hard candies, chocolate drizzle, wafer rolls, butter pads, chocolate squares, and cutlery. The chocolate drizzle and butter in particular can slow down any Kirbys that roll into them.

Variants of this stage differ in the particulars, but they all follow the same basic structure and have the following sections in the following order:

  • A straightaway at the start that leads to the first syrup wall.
  • A second straightaway featuring pancake walls with sections cut out that rotate, leading to the second syrup wall.
  • A connective walkway of some kind that leads to a Crumbling Cookie Wall, with the third syrup wall behind it.
  • A more precarious passage of waffles and spinning pancakes leading to the fourth syrup wall.
  • A diagonal passage leading to an open area with a spiral ramp going upward to a cannon that can be used to skip the last syrup wall leading to the end of the stage.

Variant details

The following are noteworthy details for each variant of this stage that cause them to differ from one-another. Note that each variant is named after the color of the background:
