| Aids |
logs, barrel |

This new Kongo Jungle is very similar to the old one on the N64. At the bottom of the screen is a moving barrel that will either save you or destroy you (not really destroy, just take you out). Also, on the right hand side of the screen there is a rocky platform in which you can stand and fight on. On both sides of the stage there are water falls that will occasionally bring out logs that you can stand on. However, the logs to go down the water, so be careful. However, logs are not the only thing the waterfall will wash your way; keep a sharp eye out for the Klaptraps, because they will surely inflict serious damage.

turtle, balloon |

There are four platforms in Great Bay. One is the main platform on the left of the stage, along with two accommodating platforms on both sides of it, and the other is the big turtle on the right side of the stage. The turtle occasionally leaves and returns, making it an unstable platform to fight on. The main platform has a total of four different levels: the first is the main platform with the laboratory; one is on the bottom left hand side; another is on the bottom right hand side; and the last is also an unstable balloon located on the upper right-hand side. The balloon sometimes appears and dissappears.

| Aids |
clouds, Shy Guy |

Yoshi's Story is unique for two things. First, a group of Shy Guys fly by and usually carry items; hit the Shy Guys and the items will drop and you can use them. The second neat aspect is the clouds that appear on the left and right sides of the stage. They follow a certain path and can help you to safety if you are ever knocked astray.

The Fountain of Dreams is by far the nicest looking stage in the game. In this stage, the two side platforms will move up and down. This is one of the smallest stages in the game.
|
| Lylat System: Corneria |
| Obstacles |
Arwings, enemy ships, Great Fox lasers |
|
| Aids |
none |
| Description |
|
One of the larger stages, this stage has only one new addition to it from the last game. On the front of the Great Fox, the two lasers will fire at times. The pros about the two lasers is that you can stand on it when you feel threatened. The cons are that when the lasers shoot, you'll instantly go out; furthermore, once you get on the lasers, it's hard to get back on the main platform of the Great Fox. Also, Arwings are not the only ships that will pass by and shoot lasers at the characters.

In this relatively small and boring stage, there exists only one obstacle. At times, a dinosaur like creature will appear from the waters and travel in the water across the screen. The only threat it possesses is that if you are hanging from one of the sides, it will knock you into the water and to your doom. Be very careful.

|
A considerably large arena with respect to both length and depth, this stage has a great many places to fight. One place I especially like fighting at is the underground section within the runes. Here, players can usually reach damage levels of about 200% before they are really threatened (or before they are knocked out). You are bound to have lots of fun in this place.
