==Stage==
==Overview==
The stage starts out in a small cave behind a waterfall with a bottomless pit, introducing the gimmicks of the level. The floor of the level is mostly covered in water with a current, so that the player will be gradually pushed down the slope most of the time. To make traveling less easy, this stage introduces bottomless pits which there are multiple of in the stage. Additionally there are small waterfalls everywhere, which is the apparent source of all that water. A lot of the time the waterfalls don't fall down near cliffs like they normally would.
The stage starts out in a small cave behind a waterfall, before quickly transitioning outside to a grassy canyon. As Kirby progresses forward, he encounters a series of waterfalls, with water flowing down the surface of various platforms. These push Kirby (plus [[Prince Fluff]] in the [[Wii]] version's co-op mode) and other objects (like [[Cloth Block]]s) in the same direction as the water flow, slowing his movement and threatening to push him into the many bottomless pits scattered around the stage. The major enemies in this first part of the stage are [[Waddle Dee]]s and [[Gator (Kirby's Epic Yarn)|Gator]]s.
 
Later, Kirby encounters a [[Yin-Yarn]] patch which spawns a constrant stream of [[Parasol Waddle Dee]]s. Afterwards, he enters a tunnel, with another Yin-Yarn patch present (this time spawning regular Waddle Dees). Both threaten to push Kirby into nearby pits if he does not maneuver carefully. If Kirby travels upwards, he reaches an alternate path containing Gators and a [[Treasure|treasure]].
 
===Metamortex stretch===
Soon after, Kirby reaches a [[Metamortex]] patch, which introduces the [[Spin Boarder]]. Kirby starts out moving slowly, as a series of signs teach him the basics of the Spin Border, before he starts to speed up and move downhill. Along the way, beads are placed to lure Kirby over enemies, like Gators and [[Buttonfly|Buttonflies]], or to treasures and [[Bonus Star|Bonus Stars]].
 
Eventually, after a big jump, Kirby passes through the [[Reel Gate]], with the stage ending shortly afterwards.

The first Treasure is in an area with a thin yarn block under a full yarn block. The thin yarn block has to be pulled to get on top of the full yarn block. Once the full yarn block has slid far enough onto the water, Kirby must jump onto the upper left platform to obtain the [[Rainbow Arch]].


The two-star Bonus Star is found in the same area as the first treasure, behind a patch on a water-free platform on the right side of that area.

* Level 4 of [[Mara's Race]]


The second Treasure is located in an area right before the Metamortex stretch. Here, there is a platform to the upper left of the Metamortex. When Kirby jumps on it, there are several crocodiles on the platforms ahead. Getting rid of them enables him to obtain the [[Outdoor Bath]]

Rainbow Falls is the third of the seven stages of Grass Land, in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. To unlock it, Kirby must get the Alarm Clock Patch from Flower Fields. This level heavily revolves around water and its functions, taking place in a grassy canyon and series of cave systems. Near the end, the Metamortex Spin Boarder is used and introduced, as Kirby rides downhill past a series of rainbows.

Upon clearing the stage for the first time, the Bean Patch is obtained, allowing access to the next level, Big-Bean Vine

Patch animation[edit]

When Kirby throws the Alarm Clock Patch, it lands in a slot below the ground next to a sleeping bear. An alarm clock appears and wakes up the bear. The bear stretches and raises the earth above it into a small hill with rocks. Then the bear goes back to sleep and the door opens.

Overview[edit]

The stage starts out in a small cave behind a waterfall, before quickly transitioning outside to a grassy canyon. As Kirby progresses forward, he encounters a series of waterfalls, with water flowing down the surface of various platforms. These push Kirby (plus Prince Fluff in the Wii version's co-op mode) and other objects (like Cloth Blocks) in the same direction as the water flow, slowing his movement and threatening to push him into the many bottomless pits scattered around the stage. The major enemies in this first part of the stage are Waddle Dees and Gators.

Later, Kirby encounters a Yin-Yarn patch which spawns a constrant stream of Parasol Waddle Dees. Afterwards, he enters a tunnel, with another Yin-Yarn patch present (this time spawning regular Waddle Dees). Both threaten to push Kirby into nearby pits if he does not maneuver carefully. If Kirby travels upwards, he reaches an alternate path containing Gators and a treasure.

Metamortex stretch[edit]

Soon after, Kirby reaches a Metamortex patch, which introduces the Spin Boarder. Kirby starts out moving slowly, as a series of signs teach him the basics of the Spin Border, before he starts to speed up and move downhill. Along the way, beads are placed to lure Kirby over enemies, like Gators and Buttonflies, or to treasures and Bonus Stars.

Eventually, after a big jump, Kirby passes through the Reel Gate, with the stage ending shortly afterwards.
