Smash Combat Chamber EX

Smash Combat Chamber EX is the fourth stage of Last Land in New Challenge Stages. It is unlocked after completing Magolor Race 3. It tests Kirby's proficiency with the Smash Copy Ability in a series of chambers, where the goal is to defeat all the enemies and collect all the coins as quickly as possible. This stage essentially serves as a Tower of Mid-Bosses. The window of time to earn a Platinum Medal is 0:30 or higher.

Layout[edit]

The stage consists of three long chambers, broken up by four smaller rooms with Food and coins in them.

The first room is rather simple. Kirby is lifted up on a moving platform, and must break through a metal block barricade to enter the door just to the right.

In the second room, Kirby must contend with three mid-bosses in sequence, as follows:

• Moundo
• King Doo
• Gigant Edge

Each time a mid-boss is defeated, the main floor raises in height, and a line of coins appears that can be collected. After the last one, a door to the next room opens.

In the third room, Kirby will bust first through a wall of Star Blocks, then stone blocks, then metal blocks before heading through the next door. A small cache of food can be found here under a different metal block barrier.

The fourth room is similar to the second, but this time with the following Mid-Boss encounters:

• Water Galboros
• Bonkers
• Kibble Blade & Dubior

The fifth room features an open space with two decks of metal blocks serving as the floor above an abyss. Several Gold Waddle Dees and Halcandle Dees appear here which need to be defeated, but Kirby should mind what moves he uses, or else he may accidentally break the floor and lose them. After this, another food cache can be accessed before entering the door.

The sixth room pits Kirby in a fight against Whispy Woods. The battle is similar to how Whispy fights in the Extra Mode of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Once the great tree is pacified, the door appears.

The last room features a Star Block formation spelling out the number "20", much like in the first Smash Combat Chamber. This time, however, it floats above a crumbling floor, so Kirby will need to be careful while collecting the coins. From there, the stage exit awaits.

Enemies[edit]

Tips[edit]

There are a few things to keep in mind when aiming for Platinum on this stage, though it should be noted that the strategies listed here are by no means the only ones that will do the job:

• There are food items in the stage that can be used to recover health, but an ideal run will result in Kirby not taking damage at any point, so these food items should be ignored.
• The Final Cutter attack is very handy for clearing out large groups of enemies due to its great reach and shockwave at the end. This is particularly true in the fifth room against the Gold Waddle Dees.
• The Hammer move does massive damage, making it very useful against the bosses on this stage.
  • Additionally, Smash Kick allows Kirby to pass through enemies unharmed, making it useful for crossing up mid-bosses.
• Both Hammer and Stone can be used to break metal blocks, while Final Cutter can be used to cut Ropes.
• Enemies that drop into an abyss or wander off stage are not counted as defeated. All of them need to be pummeled.

Guide[edit]

• "What a chaotic stage! Only the strong survive here!"
• "Master Kirby's Smash moves and defeat every foe to win."

Pro Tips[edit]

• "Use Smash Kick to safely get behind an opponent."
• "You have very limited time, so be sure to use powerful moves for quick wins."
• "Don't forget that you're invincible while using Stone moves and Final Cutter!"

Music[edit]

• There are two tracks that play on this stage. The first is "True Arena Showdown" from Kirby Super Star Ultra. The second is "Miracle Matter" from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
  • When only 30 seconds remain, the music changes to "Climactic Clash! Robo Dedede," which is the Kirby's Return to Dream Land arrangement of "Heavy Lobster".
  • The music that plays prior to the challenge is "Neo Star: Stage Select" from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
