Concluding World 5 is an Extra stage that, like Extra 3, fits the theme. This is Extra 5: Kamek's Revenge. It's a snowy athletic stage with a constant threat: Kamek zooms around on his broomstick trying to knock you off the (not all that large) platforms...while you're already trying to dodge various other enemies who want to do the same thing. The first room is standard platforming fare, Yoshi's Island sky stage style. The middle section of the stage is a skiing section, and it leads into the final stretch, a helicopter-flying segment. (Of course, Kamek is there during all of this.) This helicopter section is easy to die in if you're not both careful and quick...if Kamek hits you, you get knocked into the pit (unless you were directly above a platform), and if you run out of time, you fall into the pit when you warp back. The goal ring roulette is just beyond that, though.

I have to say, this stage was a lot easier than I remember it being. To me, it feels the most "real" of the Extra stages, the most fitting with the normal stages. Most of the others seem a bit out of place somehow, like there's something "off" about them...I don't know.
