Stage 1-2

Enter the first room and swallow a Parasol Waddle Dee to get the Parasol ability.

Just before the pipe leading onward, swallow a Bomber enemy to get the powerful, single-use Crash ability.

Proceed through pipes, collecting food from a Bandanna Waddle Dee and ignoring nearby Fire and Sword abilities.

Reach the first mini-boss, the Invader Armor. If you have the Crash ability, hold B and mash the +Control Pad to unleash a powerful energy ball that one-shots the mini-boss. Alternatively, it can be defeated with four star shots.

After defeating the Invader Armor, you will commandeer the Robobot Armor. Note that its flight is limited to a double jump and a small horizontal hover.

Head right and press Ⓑ near a Galbo to activate Fire Mode. Break the adjacent blocks to reveal Sticker #1.

Continue right and go through the door.

In the next room, you can activate Spark Mode by touching a Sparky enemy. Note that Waddle Dees with spike rods can be defeated with any attack.

Further on, touch Waddle Doos to activate Beam Mode.

Jump onto a 3D Warpstar and enter the large pipe to find Code Cube #1.

After another 3D Warpstar, find a Sir Kibble to activate Cutter Mode. Hold B and walk to shred enemies.

Behind breakable objects to the right, find Sticker #2.

At the end of the room, use the Robobot's wrench arm to raise an elevator and enter the door.

Immediately, you'll see a Poppy Bros. Jr. that can activate Bomb Mode.

Continue using 3D Warpstars and the wrench arm.

Break the third large grey block to find Sticker #3.

Head to the mech dock to drop off the Robobot Armor.

In the next room, swallow a Rocky enemy to get the Stone ability.

Slide down the slope to defeat enemies.

Continue right past wooden blocks and cannons. A Waddle Dee in a small mech walks on blocks with a bomb block on top; attack the bomb block to make the blocks disappear and enter the Robobot Armor below.

Optionally, backtrack to destroy wooden blocks and cannons.

Head right to find a Blade Knight enemy that activates Sword Mode for your Robobot Armor.

Use ⇩ + B to destroy all wood blocks on the right.

Head into the left alcove to find the Rare Sticker for this level.

Continue right and break the first, second, and fourth wood blocks, leaving the third intact as it has a treasure chest on top.

Hop on the 3D Warpstar inside the fourth wood block and open the chest to collect Code Cube #2.

Return to the foreground and go through the door.

In the next room, use the Robobot Armor to remove screws and spin platforms. Spin the first platform clockwise once to collect a 1up.

Spin the second platform 180 degrees so the stairs are on the right. Head up and slice the chain to make the floor fall, revealing a secret area.

Temporarily leave the Robobot Armor, go through the pipe above, get the Sword ability, cut the rope, and re-enter the Robobot Armor.

Use the Robobot Armor to break the grey block to the right and enter the Orange Star Door.

In this room, cut the right chain to make the platform fall, allowing you to reach Code Cube #3.

Backtrack to the previous room and follow the path right, up, and then left to reach the end of the stage.
