'''Sword Challenge''' is the first [[Challenge Stage]] unlocked in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]''. It tests [[Kirby]]'s proficiency with the [[Sword]] [[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. The window of time to earn a Platinum Medal is 1:00 or higher (0:30 in Extra Mode).

The stage consists of two main chambers, and two side-chambers.

Line 24: Line 23:
The second main chamber starts with Kirby moving down floors, then cutting the right rope platforms to get the coins and avoid the Gordos. From there, Kirby will need to fight some [[Sodory]]s as he continues his descent. One more set of rope platforms provides a new twist on the choices to make, as well as concealing a [[switch]] in the wall that opens up to reveal the second side chamber. In this chamber, Kirby will need to descend to get a series of coins past Gordos on patrol. Back on the main path, a few more obstacles, much the same as before stand in Kirby's way as he continues his descent. The bottommost chamber is guarded by several Sodorys, and is where the stage exit can be found.

When playing this stage in [[Extra Game|Extra Mode]], there are more coins scattered about, including some under a rope platform that Kirby has to cut down, then get after it has reset from him re-entering the area.

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:

*Drill Stab is useful for clearing out enemies while still moving forward. The burst of speed it provides can be handy in certain instances, but it should not be used repeatedly due to the stop at the end.

Line 53: Line 52:
*Due to being the first challenge, the time is not particularly tight, so Kirby does not have to move perfectly to earn Platinum on this stage. Take it easy.
