The routine in this tunnel is still the same as before. Use shoulder tackles to break blocks and outpace the Pouncer. There are more blocks containing Hearts inside them if you are daring enough to collect them. Once the tunnel opens up, go into the door. There's no more Pouncer chases beyond this door, but there is still one Pouncer pounding on the floor, as well as two Pirate Gooms. If you can knock the Pirate Gooms below the Pouncer, they will be smashed flat, leaving a 10 Gold Coin for you to collect! Go through the exit door to exit the course.

==Course No. 5 - Toge Bro.'s cave==
==Course No. 5 - Cave of the Spiked Koopa Troopa==
''You've arrived at the exit of Rice Beach, but you have one more cave to go through. As the fortress where the boss of Rice Beach is situated, this course is much more heavily-guarded than previous stages. The prickly Spiked Koopa Troopa is no pushover. With spiked armor covering much of his body, you must find the right weak spot to do him in.''


The entrance to the cave is guarded by a lone Gaugau beyond a barrel. You are safe from its throwing knives while standing on the barrel, and you can move in to attack after it uses up its knives. Enter the door to proceed deeper into the cave. Things will start to pick up, as Pouncers and Pirate Gooms hinder your way forward. If you recall from the last course, knocking Gooms below Pouncers will net you a 10 Gold Coin whenever they are crushed, so you have more opportunities for money here. You must break all the blocks below the second Pouncer to move beyond it. The last Pouncer before the door is above a conveyor belt moving to the left. Use repeated shoulder charges to move under it quickly.
Through the door is a small room with two Chikuri. These spiky balls behave like Sparks from the Mario series, traveling along surfaces. You must crawl through a small opening in order to move across the room, but the Chikuri are slow enough that you can accomplish this with decent timing. Pay 10 coins to activate the checkpoint in this room if you need to, then continue through the door.
The following room contains plenty of Penkoons, enemies that resemble both penguins and raccoons. They attack by shooting spiked balls from the bellies. Take them out by jumping on them, and don't charge them head on. There are plenty of partially-broken blocks that you can break here for some coins inside. You can find a door near some of the broken blocks. Inside is a switch block that will remove barrier to the right of the door in the previous room. With the barrier gone, you can access the contents of the Face Blocks nearby. Jump over a tall pillar and defeat another Penkoon, then proceed through the door to challenge the boss.
===Boss: Spiked Koopa Troopa===
Rice Beach is led by a Koopa mercenary covered with spiked armor. It is even said that he is a rogue member of the Hammer Bros. family. The Spiked Koopa Troopa has quite a few tricks up its sleeve. It can hide in its spiked shell and spin toward you, either across the ground, hovering in the air, or burrowing into the sand beneath. The only part of the Spiked Koopa Troopa that isn't protected is its belly. Shoulder charge him while he is in his shell to expose his weakness, then ram into him to do damage. You can also bump into him from below as he is rising into the air. Three hits to his belly and the Spiked Koopa Troopa will be defeated. Your next destination: the aptly-names Mount Teapot.
