[edit] Story

Link, Mario, Pit, Kirby, and Yoshi enter into the collapsed ruins to find a large pile of rubble and an opening in the wall leading to a long cavern. Upon exiting on the other side they find Bowser making his escape to a cliff-edge with Peach in hand. Mario and Link attempt to stop him and he falls off the cliff. Suddenly Bowser rises back up in his Balloon and flies away towards the Halberd. Kirby then notices Dededee's golden badge which fell off of Peach.

[edit] Walkthrough

At the start of the level watch out for giant boulders and collapsing roofs as you make your way into the cave. Once you reach a tall platform you will engage a large wave of koopas, goombas, hammer bros, and para-troopas. Continue along as you descend and ascend large trenches trying to escape being crushed by the roof or the ceiling. Warning At the bottom of some trenches there is a drop. Be extremely careful not to get caught there. Once you get to the third trench (the second one with a descending roof) wait until the roof descends completely the run along the top, jump on a platform to reach an indent in the wall with a door. Once you go beyond the door you have to be quick. Run off the small platform before the walls close in on you and trap you above (You cannot fall through the platform) Ignore the top box and go for the bottom on first; it contains a CD. Then jump up back onto the platform and get the trophy from the other box and escape back through the door. Be careful when descending this trench as there is not bottom. But on the very last platform there is a trophy box. Snag it quickly before the roof can trap you. Now ascend the ladder to the trickiest part of the level. At the top there are three differently shaped moving wall pieces that attempt to either crush you or push you into the pits. try to jump through the openings as accurately as you can. There is a box containing two M Tomatoes. Only get it if you need it. Otherwise try to get through quickly. At the other side a door awaits you. Beyond the door you will find yourself in a fiery cavern. Grab the key in front of you and get moving. The area is small but tricky. There are two chasms that spurt fire on either side of a small platform. On the platform is a block with moving spikes. Try to go under it as it ascends. Jump across the second chasm and unlock the gate. Go through the door. Next you will encounter a strange purple mist that adds to you damage % the longer you stay in it. Hit the button on the ground to get rid of it. Run across the area as fast as you can, ignoring the enemies. Climb the chasm at the far side to escape the mist. Jumping across a small gap you will find yourself battling a wave of enemies. Defeat them all to continue. Watch out for Gilres as you cross the small expanse to the next chasm. Now you will find more purple mist. Be careful when trying to hit the button as the ground in front of it is unstable and may collapse. Hit the button and ascend quickly. Now you find a small challenge. The mist is above a platform and the button is below. Be quick about it and you'll be moving along in no time. Continue hitting buttons and crossing expanses until you arrive at a button within the mist. Shoot a projectile at it to rid of the mist. But as you begin to cross a few enemies will appear. Defeat them quickly to escape. Next be wary of para-troopas and Bullet Bills as you cross a large chasm with floating platforms. On the other side there will be a point where you find a button. Hit the button to find a platform with a door above. Enter the door and be very careful as to how long you remain on these platforms. Gather you two stickers and trophy and leave. Defeat a giant goomba to proceed to the end of the level.
