How to complete the Cutter Treasure Road stage in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Once you finish with the second main stage in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Through the Tunnel, Treasure Road stages will appear and test your skills with Kirby's copy abilities. This guide will show you how to complete the Cutter Treasure Road stage, "Throw and Catch! Treasure Collecting," within the time limit.

How to get the Cutter Treasure in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

If you want to complete this stage in the one-minute target time, you'll need to get skilled with Kirby's Cutter abilities. This includes throwing a boomerang blade with the B button, which you can hold down to have the boomerang hover and charge in mid-air, only to attack nearby enemies or objects upon release. But you probably won't need to charge it here.

Consisting of five obstacle phases, this stage uses teleportals on which you must stand before jetting to the next obstacle. To activate the teleportals, you must use Kirby's Cutting boomerang to hit and retrieve star fragments scattered among the enemies. Kirby's Cutter throws require precise aim, maybe more than any other copy ability does, and that makes this first Treasure Road stage among the hardest to complete in the time limit.

The first obstacle is just one platform with a fragment floating off to the side, but don't waste even a second if you're after the time-limit goal. Have your joystick in the running position from the beginning and ready your aim. And don't wait for the stone steps to the next obstacle—just jump and hover right away.

The second obstacle has two enemies you can ignore and dodge but four star fragments to retrieve, two of which are moving. Use good timing and aim for each of them, then take the teleporter to the third obstacle. Don't waste time hovering here. Jump quickly from one platform to the next, and if you find yourself hovering, tab B to release Kirby's air.

Practice Kirby's Cutter ability

The fourth obstacle phase includes a cannon enemy you can destroy with the boomerang. In fact, you can try to mash B to send multiple bladed boomerangs in quick succession, but aiming will be tougher. You'll probably end up taking out the Cutter enemy as you are activating the last teleportal, but you can ignore the two in the last phase as you collect the Cutter Treasure—hopefully in time. You might need to practice shaving off your seconds for this one.
