Upon throwing the patch, a replica of the Galaxia appears and swipes several times through the clouds, then vanishes. This done, the clouds disperse and the Halberd flies into position. It then activates its wings and thrusters, prompting the door to open.
Overview
This stage begins with Kirby picking up the Star ShooterMetamortex on an isolated metal platform. From here, Kirby starts flying forward, as Bronto Burts carrying Spear Waddle Dees come out to meet him. From there, Kirby has to face some UFOs before finally reaching the Halberd proper. Kirby flies above the deck as he shoots down cannons while dealing with more Bronto Burts, this time carrying missiles. From here, Kirby has to battle the Combo Cannon before proceeding. Once that is destroyed, he can head inside the ship. In here, he will have to wind past several hallways filled with cannons and enemies. At the end of this path, Kirby has to face down the Reactor, which is equipped with two very nasty Flamethrowers that can shoot all the way across the room. If Kirby manages to overcome this threat, he can then reach the Reel Gate and complete the stage.
This classic tune was in Kirby's Dream Land. Now you can hear it on the battleship Halberd!

Trivia
The background music is an acoustic cover of the Boarding the Halberd theme from Kirby Super Star. The in-game description for this song's CD in the American version incorrectly states it as being from Kirby's Dream Land.
This is the only level in the game with two distinct Mid-Bosses in it.
