Stage 2 (2)

Move right and grab the Water ability from the blue dragon. Dash right over the water's surface and hit the tall enemies to shrink them.

Enter the hole behind the second tall enemy for food and stars, then proceed through the door along the main path.

Grab the Stone ability and slide down the hills. Pound the stake to destroy blocks and enter the next door.

Pound the stake again and rush to the [Energy Sphere] before the path closes. If you miss it, exit and reenter the area. Continue sliding until you reach and enter another door.

Swim right, then jump out and enter the door on the right for a 1-up, which requires the Water ability.

Swim along the bottom until you find a door and enter it. Examine the channels closely. If that doesn't help, hit the block on the ceiling to reveal an [Energy Sphere], then exit.

Continue through the ring trees and grab the Warp Star at the end. Jump up to grab the overhead lever, which opens a gate. Enter the door.

Climb up, avoiding the fire-breathing statues. Inhale the sparkly enemy to gain the Flare Beam ability.

Blast through the pillars and make your way upward. You can go back down for stars if you wish. A Maxim Tomato is in a statue head to the left.

When you reach an octagon of statues, destroy the left side to open a star gate. Enter it.

Get a running start to swim faster. You can also fly for a while. Make your way to the door at the end.

Grab either the Parasol or Whip ability. Proceed to battle the Fire Sphere Doomer, which uses fire attacks.

After defeating the Fire Sphere Doomer, grab the 2 [Energy Spheres] and go through the star gate.

Back in the normal world, go up to reach the exit.
