Objective: Explore the pyramid and find the exit, avoiding traps.
The Pyramid stage is a unique vertical scrolling level. You'll encounter Pharaoh's Heads that spit out coins and sometimes enemies. The main challenge here is navigating the tight corridors and avoiding falling into pits. There are numerous hidden blocks containing coins and power-ups. Be thorough in your exploration, as some blocks are well-concealed.
Secret: There's a hidden room with a P-Wing (a powerful item that grants infinite flight for one stage) if you can find it. Near the top of the pyramid, look for a section with several blocks arranged in a staircase pattern. One of these blocks, when hit, will reveal a hidden vine. Climb the vine to a secret area with the P-Wing. This item can be incredibly useful for later, more challenging stages.
