Volcano Valley is the most diverse island in the game, as well as the largest. The first few stages take place in volcanic areas where lava and falling rocks are the main hazards. The later stages take place in spooky graveyards where Zombons and Graveys dwell and in haunted mansions where Grueglooms and other poltergeists threaten the Kirbys. The final stages occur in and around the Space Oohroo space base. The stage before Skullord includes a mid-boss rush.
