Vocal Volcano - Stage EX is an optional bonus stage of Vocal Volcano in Kirby Squeak Squad, unlocked by collecting the secret door key in Stage 4. The Sleep Ability Scroll can be found here.
Overview
The stage begins in a small volcanic room, with five doors to choose from, as well as three Energy Drinks which can be utilized at Kirby's discretion. The stage exit can also be seen below, but cannot be accessed from this room. Which order the doors are visited is up to Kirby.
(Doors are listed in clockwise order starting at the left.)
Door 1: Kirby appears in a hall full of blocks and lava floes, with some flame geysers bursting. Above Kirby's head, but inaccessible from his location is a bubble with the Metal ability inside it. As Kirby progresses to the right, he will need to be careful not to fall into the lava, as his path will crumble under his feet. From there, he'll have to head back left across another hazardous walkway, this time with fire shooting from above. After dispatching an Acchi, Kirby can acquire the bubble and return to the hub.
Door 2: This area consists of tunnels blocked off by pegs. Kirby will need an appropriate ability to progress through this area. There are many paths to take, leading to various treasures. Others lead to peril, so Kirby should watch where he treads. At the bottom right is a barrel containing a chest. From there, Kirby can acquire a bubble containing the Cupid ability before returning to the hub.
Door 3: This area consists of a series of small interconnected rooms and thin hallways filled with fire. Kirby will need some way to extinguish or otherwise bypass the flames before he can move forward. From there, it's a gauntlet through multiple fire pillars, culminating in retrieving a chest from a lava lake. On the way back down, Kirby can nab a bubble containing the Hammer ability.
Door 4: This area consists of two hallways lain on top of each-other. The large chest can be seen on the upper hall, but Spinni appears immediately to try and steal it. Kirby will have to wrestle it from him, of course, but he should watch out for flame pillars and Sparkies in the process. After that is done, Kirby can return to the main hub by means of the door to the right. However, this will place him in the small chamber below with the stage exit meaning that this is the last room Kirby can visit before completing the stage.
Door 5: This area is defined as a winding hallway, with a 1Up and Ice ability bubble lying on the other side of a switch gate the Kirby will need to be speedy to reach. In the process, he will also need to dodge a few flames. After obtaining the items, Kirby can return directly to the hub through the door he came in.
