'''Rainbow Resort - Stage 2''' is the second stage of [[Rainbow Resort]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.
'''Rainbow Resort - Stage 2''' is the second stage of [[Rainbow Resort]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. This stage is a [[Tower of Mid-Bosses]] (the first of its kind in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]), holding every [[Mid-Boss]] in the game except for [[Grand Wheelie]] and the [[Meta-Knights]].


== Overview ==
==Overview==
Outside the Tower: The stage begins at the base of a lone tower. There is no music, only the sound of wind can be heard. The door to the next section leads into the tower.
The stage begins at the base of a lone tower. There is no music in ''Kirby's Adventure'', whereas ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' adds the sound of wind. Kirby can enter through the main doorway on the tower.


Room 1: The door leads to the first chamber, where [[Poppy Bros. Sr.]] is fought. Defeating him opens the door to the next section.
The following rooms consist of a fight with a [[Mid-Boss]], followed by a flight of steps to the next room before reaching the top. The fights take place in the following order:
*[[Poppy Bros. Sr.]]
*[[Mr. Tick-Tock]]
*[[Mr. Frosty]]
*[[Bonkers]]
*[[Rolling Turtle]]/[[Phan Phan]] (depending on version)
*[[Bugzzy]]
*[[Fire Lion]]


Interlude 1: The door leads to a sloped hallway inside the tower. Other hallways can be seen above and below, but are inaccessible. The door to the next room is up and to the right.
After the last fight, Kirby can fly out the top of the tower to reach a [[Warp Star]] that will take him away. He will then land in an open field and be able to proceed to the exit, though in the way is a [[Blade Knight]] who guards a [[Maxim Tomato]].


Room 2: The door leads to a room where [[Mr. Tick Tock]] is fought. He ought not be a big deal if Kirby kept the [[Crash]] ability from the previous fight. Defeating him opens the door to the next section.
===Alternate path===
A secret second path can be taken through this stage. It can be accessed by squeezing through a barred window on the upper portion of the tower at the start (in ''Kirby's Adventure'' there is no window, and the door is completely invisible). This will pit Kirby against a different shorter set of Mid-Bosses in the following order:


Interlude 2: Much like the first. The door to the next room is at the top-right.
*[[Bonkers]]
*[[Rolling Turtle]]/[[Phan Phan]] (depending on version)
*[[Bugzzy]]
*[[Fire Lion]]


Room 3: [[Mr. Frosty]] is fought here. He stands no chance against the [[Mike]] ability.
After the last fight, Kirby is deposited in a room containing five [[1-Up]]s. From there, it rejoins the main path, and Kirby can proceed to the stage exit.


Interlude 3: Rinse and repeat.

Rainbow Resort - Stage 2 is the second stage of Rainbow Resort in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. This stage is a Tower of Mid-Bosses (the first of its kind in the Kirby series), holding every Mid-Boss in the game except for Grand Wheelie and the Meta-Knights.

Overview

The stage begins at the base of a lone tower. There is no music in Kirby's Adventure, whereas Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land adds the sound of wind. Kirby can enter through the main doorway on the tower.

The following rooms consist of a fight with a Mid-Boss, followed by a flight of steps to the next room before reaching the top. The fights take place in the following order:

After the last fight, Kirby can fly out the top of the tower to reach a Warp Star that will take him away. He will then land in an open field and be able to proceed to the exit, though in the way is a Blade Knight who guards a Maxim Tomato.

Alternate path

A secret second path can be taken through this stage. It can be accessed by squeezing through a barred window on the upper portion of the tower at the start (in Kirby's Adventure there is no window, and the door is completely invisible). This will pit Kirby against a different shorter set of Mid-Bosses in the following order:

After the last fight, Kirby is deposited in a room containing five 1-Ups. From there, it rejoins the main path, and Kirby can proceed to the stage exit.

Trivia

  • In Kirby's Adventure, there is unused data for harder versions of the three mid-bosses skipped on the secret route, suggesting that they were initially planned to be included.[1]
  • Also in Kirby's Adventure, the secret route's 5 1-Ups will give the player 6 lives instead of 5. This is because the middle-most 1-Up is actually two of them layered on top of each other, most likely by accident.
