This level most has you raid a huge a castle to look for more missing Crystal Shards.

Again, the Copy Abilities are color-coded, and there are some obstructions in this game guarding Crystal Shards that you can break unless you use a Copy Ability that match its one or two colors.

One Crystal Shard is being protected by a green floor. Since Cutter is coded Green, you need to use some sort of Cutter attack to break it open, and you also need to make sure it can actually reach that green ground, too.

Continuing on with the teamwork, love and friendship theme of this game, Adeleine will appear in some levels to support Kirby with her living paintings. She can actually paint out new 1UPs for him!
----------

At the peak of the castle, Kirby and his cute cast of pals find another Crystal Shard... Unfortunately, it was right next to the owner of the castle: King Dedede.

Dedede snatched the shard away from Kirby, and was likely never going to let him have it if not for Dark Matter's next interference.

He ONCE AGAIN possessed Dedede, and used his body to attack Kirby!
----

This is basically a super-simplified version of his fight in Dream Land 3. Really easy to win depending on the Copy Ability you have, even with this boss having two health bars.
----------

Kirby promptly beats up the Possessed Dedede once more, and wins another Crystal Shard as a reward with his friends.

He left with Ribbon and Adeleine to look for the next Shard, while Waddle Dee stayed behind for a moment to make sure his selfish king was okay. Afterwards, he left to join the others, wondering if Dedede was going to go with them.

Dedede was hesitant, but knowing that Kirby saved his life ONCE AGAIN from the Dark Matter, he submitted to his kindness and joined the team.

And now the team was complete! Kirby, along with Ribbon, a Waddle Dee, Adeleine, and most surprisingly King Dedede, will travel altogether to gather all of the missing Crystal Shards and defeat Dark Matter and his forces once again!
