Stage 2 (2)

Grab the Water ability from the blue dragon. Dash right over the water and defeat the tall enemies by hitting them. Enter the hole behind the second enemy for food and stars, then proceed through the door.

Grab the Stone ability. Slide down hills and pound the stake to destroy blocks, then enter the 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 a door.

Swim right, then jump out and enter the door on the right for a 1-Up if you have the Water ability. Swim along the bottom until you find a door and enter it. Hit the block on the ceiling to reveal an Energy Sphere, then exit.

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

Climb up, avoiding fire-breathing statues. Inhale the sparkly enemy to get the Flare Beam ability. Blast through the pillars and make your way upward. You can go back down for stars, but there are no collectibles. A Maxim Tomato is in a statue head to the left. Reach an octagon of statues and destroy the left side to open a star gate, then 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 a 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 real world, go up to reach the exit.
