Layout[edit]

Map of the level.

This mostly horizontal fortress-themed level consists of one long tunnel. The first half of the level also features many enemies; avoiding them is more challenging due to the narrow layout of the tunnel. This gradually transitions to fire bars, and the tunnel gets slightly wider, branching off into two routes at one point. The level concludes with a boss fight against two Boom Booms, one of which can fly after the first hit.
