Notes and Strategy (23)

You'll start by heading right and going up a purple cylinder. Use the springs to go past some mines. Drop down, go through another purple cylinder, hit a switch, and head down. Then, go right, hit another switch, and keep going down until you can head left.

After passing the Starpost, hit the switch and go up. Use the spider-like platform to cross the next purple cylinder. Carefully navigate past the mines and hit the switch. Drop down and go through the purple cylinder. Pass the Starpost and hit the switch.

Now, head right and jump on the flame blaster. This will undo the corkscrew mechanism. Drop down, go past the Starpost, and hit the switch. You'll need to Spin Dash immediately to avoid getting crushed. Hit two more switches, then drop down. Head right and use the platforms to move forward.

Keep going past the mines and use another spider platform. Drop down and hit the switch. Pass the Starpost and head left. Go up and move through the purple cylinder. Use the moving platforms to reach the top.

Here you'll encounter the first Mini-Boss: the Laser Machine. The goal here is to make it hit itself. Position yourself on the plunger. When one of its spiked arms comes down to hit you, quickly move off the plunger. The machine will then hit itself with its own arm. Repeat this process until it's defeated.

After that, you'll need to navigate through more hazards. You'll eventually reach the second Mini-Boss, which is disguised as a Prison Egg. To beat this one, you also need to make it attack itself. Stand on the plunger. Wait for one of the spiked arms to swing down towards you. As it's about to hit, jump off the plunger. The machine will take the hit instead. Keep doing this, and you'll take it down!
