It should be noted that the alternate Battle at Blizzard Bridge route does allow you to find all of the Hidden Waddle Dees, but each of the side rooms are more difficult. The Sword path has smaller platforms to drop the cone and Kirby onto. The Tornado path has icy platforms that sink faster. The Hammer path has smaller platforms and the moving walls pop back in place faster. The Ice path has a more precise jump that you need to make with Pipe Mouth.

I love all of the idle animations you do, it makes it seem like Kirby is actually just exploring lol

[RetroArchive]

Each of the 6 regular worlds has a hard-to-find secret area that are not mandatory for Kirby to visit if he is trying to complete the game 100%.
How many of these did you find in your playthrough?

11:42 seeing you greet that primal awoofy is pretty cute.

I really dig the first hal room - climbing on all the blocks while the camera stays zoomed out. Great secret

[SegaDisneyUniverse]

As someone who has been playing Kirby since the GBA era, I have to say that HAL is so sneaky with their secrets. I would not have known half of these secrets if I haven't gone out my way to look it up!😆

[mohammedabd]

I love how there’s always an alternate route in mini boss rush stages In Kirby games. It’s really interesting.

[finnjager]

Found the 5-1 one without even really searching for anything and rather just speeding through, I guess that was neat.

[DrakeFeatherwing]

You do not need to hit the lower switch to get to the 1-3 HAL room. Odds are, you'll have already hit it to get to the subroom with a Waddle Dee before making it to the goal.

I also love how in the third HAL room, they continue the 86 theme by giving you 860 cans of drink to shoot.

[GMKGoji]

For the record, I only knew about the HAL rooms. And the alternate route in 4-4.

[mohammedabd]

I’m so happy I completed the alternate Battle at Blizzard bridge without taking damage. The only room I managed to do in one attempt on the Alternate Battle at blizzard bridge was the ice room. I was so scared on that part. The platform was SUPER small

[andytekampe]

I love how you just wave at the Chief Awoofy. Lol this makes me want to replay the whole game and have a set rule where you must wave at all Awoofies and you have to spare every single one that doesn’t go on the offensive. I’ll call it the Awoofy run!

[waynemidnight]

As much as I like this game, I have to say I'm a bit surprised that there isn't a bonus level with Retro Kirby stuff at the end like there has been in the last few games, also, there isn't really a good level to grind for those gotcha capsules.
Other than that, this is an amazing game!

I found the Maxim Tomato in 4-4, but didn't know there was a path above it.

[edenmairay]

I found 5-1 by myself when I was playing the level for the first time. I was jumping around at the end to see what mission I missed out on. And I jumped behind there and was like, "Oh, is this the mission I missed?" it wasn't, of course

[LordRyuuki]

The only one I found out entirely by myself was the World 4 alternate route, because I had to find the Maxim Tomato for one of the missions anyway.

[masterseekerv]

Here’s an easy way to remember the 2nd HAL room: ID-F86 and the tour music. Found that out from another video, but I figure I’d help a little more.

[DrprofessorFrancis]

You can get stuck in the control room after the third HAL room if you don’t break the metal blocks to get the waddle dee first, but instead jump up using the blocks with the guy sleeping on them, which is enough to trigger the ladder outside to spawn

[ihaveakirbyobessesion]

this game just keeps on giving and giving with the secrets

[grugspro]

I was very close to getting 4-4's route on my first play of the level, i just didn't go through the window and in 2-2 I got the secret toom on my second pass trying to do the landfall on treasure island mission
