Cut-scene
Kirby and ChuChu walk up to the beach. As they converse, Kine swims up from the water. He jumps onto shore and swallows Kirby up. ChuChu and Kine then take turns grabbing Kirby from each-other, until Kine has him fully enclosed in his mouth. ChuChu gets angry at this, trying to reach for Kirby again, but unable to.

Boss: Acro
Kirby faces off against Acro in a cave with a lake beneath. The first part of the fight involves the killer whale charging at Kirby. When it hits the wall, a rock will fall down, which Kirby can use to hit back.
Once Acro is down to half health, the bridge they are fighting on breaks, sending them both to the water. Here, Acro swims around, and attacks by spitting Co-Acros, skulls and anchors at Kirby. Kirby can deflect these using his Water Gun. Acro may also again hit the wall, causing a rain of boulders which can also be deflected.
Once Acro is beaten, it explodes, leaving Kirby to do his dance. If all the Heart Stars in the level were collected, they will emerge and purge the Dark Matter from the area. From there, Kirby hops on his Warp Star and heads to the third level, Sand Canyon.
