====Mini-Boss====
[[File:Kirby64PopStar1MiniBoss.jpeg|thumb|right|The Mini-Boss N-Z]]In the middle of the stage, you reach a cabin with a maximum tomato in front to restore you back to full health before entering. The mini-boss is a giant N-Z. Once you enter the cabin, the door shuts and regular sized N-Zs appear in front of you. These enemies do not attack, but if you touch them (without attacking) you will get hurt. If you did not acquire any abilities before entering the cabin, that's where the regular sized N-Zs come in handy. You just inhale the N-Z and spit it out at the mini-boss. Another one will spawn immediately. It shouldn't take too many hits. You do not receive a crystal when you have defeated the Mini-Boss.
