Walkthrough
First section
You start the level on a floating platform, with a castle entrance to your left. Jump to the grassy part of the platform in front of you and from there to a lower platform with a ring monitor across the pit. Turn left and jump across another platform to the cloudy floor surrounding the castle entrance. Walk through the entrance to reach a courtyard with a tower and a cloudy floor in the center. Walk around either side of the tower, but beware of a gap in the floor on the left side. Go through either of the two exits on the other side and walk up the staircase to the right. You will enter another courtyard with a tower in the center and a higher ledge surrounding the room. To reach it, either jump on the moving platform above the pit to your left or walk up the staircase on the other side. Walk through either of the two exits on the left side of the room to reach a cloudy platform floating in the sky. Turn right and walk around the courtyard building to reach a platform with the first Star Post.
Walk across the platform with the Star Post to reach a row of diagonal yellow springs that will propel you to a higher platform leading left, with a large tower behind it. Here you have two options to continue: You can either jump through the opening in the tower or make your way around it across a series of platforms and springs to the left. If you entered the tower, you must walk up two staircase to reach a row of diagonal yellow springs that lead up to the lowest level of a pyramid-like building. If you went around the tower, you will eventually reach the building as well. There are yellow springs on either side of the building that will propel you up to the second level. There, walk around to the middle part, where another row of springs leads up to the top. Walk around the tower at the top to reach a castle entrance with the second Star Post. Continue through the courtyard after the Star Post and walk through either of the two exits on the other side. After walking down a staircase, you will reach a large courtyard with a cloudy floor.
Path split
Walk around the wide pillar in front of you. Here the path splits three ways: You can either walk through the building entrance behind the pillar or turn right towards the pit, where you can make your way forward along the left or the right side of the pit.
Upper path
Enter the building behind the pillar and climb up the steps inside. You will reach a high entrance to the courtyard, with a platform in the pit in front of you. Jump to it and from there to a wooden platform behind it. Enter the passage in the tower in front of you and walk through it. Jump across another platform to reach a balcony with the third Star Post. Walk across the bridge in the next room and turn right on the other side to reach an exit into an outdoor area. Here the paths rejoin.
Lower paths
Turn right towards the pit. You can either jump to the ledge attached to the right wall or walk over to the left side, where you can walk across a similar ledge. In either case, continue forward across the room, jumping over gaps in the floor. On the left side, a part of the floor will crumble, so walk across it quickly. On the other side of the room, you will reach the third Star Post and an entrance to another courtyard. On the other side of this courtyard is a high ledge with an exit to the right. To reach it, either use the yellow springs on the right side of the room or walk up the staircase on the left side. At the exit, the paths rejoin.
Final section and boss
Walk through the exit and jump to the platform in front of you. Follow the U-turn to reach a teleporter to the boss. In Race mode, the teleporter will be replaced by a Level End Sign. The boss fight is a standard fight against the Egg Mobile on a cloudy platform surrounded by a pit. If you lost any rings during the fight, there are some rings around the edge of the platform that you can pick up. After defeating the boss, an Egg Capsule will rise from the center of the platform.
