Stage order First stage Crystal →

Sub-Tree is the first section of The Great Cave Offensive, and the area where Kirby initially falls into (and eventually climbs back out from). As the name implies, the area is an underground forest, with lots of trees and foliage. The Boss of Sub-Tree is Fatty Whale, and a Mine Cart ride leads to Crystal from this stage. There are 13 Treasures in this area.

Synopsis

The initial hallway has no treasures in it, but it is lined with a number of small stone steps and is very distinctive. Kirby will eventually find his way back here after clearing through the entirety of the cave, where a Warp Star will be waiting to take him back out again. A door can be found to the right which will lead into the first proper room of Sub-Tree.

The first room is a jungle-like walkway, where Knuckle Joe will be the first to greet our pink spelunker. There are several enemies and side-chambers to be discovered here, most of which hold treasure of some sort. There are three treasures here.

The second room is a more narrow and elaborate tunnel, with a few branches and off-shoots. There are two treasures here.

The third room is a more elaborate series of tunnels with magma in some. Kirby will have to watch where he steps. Along the way, a Save Room can be found. There are four treasures here.

The fourth room is a segmented jungle area. Bonkers is encountered here, though he can be defeated easily by breaking the floor out from under him. This area is split into several smaller chambers, accessible by ladder. There are two treasures here.

The fifth room is a more open jungle area, with lots of foes inside and a bottomless pit below. Some String Platforms can be found here, which need to be cut to access certain areas. There are two treasures here.

From here, the boss room awaits (details in the Boss section below).

Boss: Fatty Whale

File:Fatty Whale Fight.jpg

Kirby punches out Fatty Whale.

Just before entering the boss chamber, Kirby has the choice of three Copy Abilities from pedestals. They are Jet, Mirror and Sword.

In the main chamber, Kirby fights the giant whale boss from a bridge spanning over the water. Fatty Whale mainly uses its girth to attack, causing giant waves to carry Kirby off whenever it jumps, and making rocks fall from the ceiling. Defeating it clears the way forward to the first Mine Cart ride, then to the next area, Crystal.
