The Waddle Dees get trickier to find in Everbay Coast — the second set of levels of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The missions are more obscure, forcing you to replay all five levels multiple times to get them all. If you’re ever lost or confused on your Forgotten Land adventure and need more of these missing Waddle Dees to unlock the Level 5 boss door, here’s a full list of locations for World 2.
Everybay Coast is a unique location in the world of Kirby. What starts out as an idyllic coast, you’ll quickly begin exploring abandoned refineries and industrial zones filled with dangerous machinery. The levels are even more expansively detailed here. Kirby must swim and float to find secret areas filled with treasure — or more Waddle Dees if you’re lucky. The mission descriptions won’t always help here. Even if you replay the same level four times, you can very easily miss some of these secrets. Here’s how to 100% Everbay Coast, and that includes tips for earning all the Waddle Dees against the big boss at the end.

- Waddle Dee #2: In the third stage with the whirlpools, continue until you find a rock wall on the right. Climb up the platforms and smack the wood plug with a Hammer Copy Ability to reveal a mini-game area. You need to sprint to the end of the block path before the blocks break!
- Waddle Dee #3: At the Windblast Mouthful Mode area, reach the second yellow spinner switches. Cross the bridge to the left side and go down, activate the yellow spinner with gusts of wind and ride the boat. Ride up to the left-upper corner of the water area and smash through the cracked rock.

- Waddle Dee #1: At the water-slide section in the first part of the level, one Waddle Dee cage is in the metal arches at the end of the slide.
- Waddle Dee #2: Reach the second section of the map, then to the second star door. Set off the Bomb Block and drop down into the hole to the left. In this obstacle course, you need to reach the end before the time limit. Follow this route: right, left, center.
- Waddle Dee #3: In the third section, you’ll need to move the second Stairs Mouthful Mode across the metal bridge and onto a star switch. This raises one of the yellow fences above — make note of these fences!
- Waddle Dee #4: In the same spot as the previous Waddle Dee, there’s another in the far back. Use the Stairs Mouthful across the bridge with burning blocks and drop it onto the star switches to the right of the yellow gate. This will lower the other two yellow gates, giving you access to the Waddle Dee.
- Waddle Dee #5: At the second whirlpool, hit the star switch on the right to create a platform bridge leading to the floating Waddle Dee.
Mission: Eat 3 tins of fish

Ability to put out the fires and find this tuna can. - Fish #3: Later in the level, you’ll encounter a big swirling whirlpool. The tin of fish is spinning around the outer edge of the whirlpool.
Mission: Win the battle without falling into the water
- In the second section of the level, you’ll get locked into an arena with spawning enemies — defeat the enemies without falling into the water to complete the mission.
Mission: Find the golden fish
- The Golden Fish is located in the third section of the map, in the foreground at the second Stairs Mouthful Mode. Jump into the water
Level 5: The Tropical Terror
Mission: Clear the stage
Mission: Destroy Tropic Woods’s roots
- In the second phase, the boss spawns roots that chase you. They form walls in the arena — attack them to destroy the roots. Any section will complete this mission.
Mission: Clear without using a Copy Ability
- Dump your Copy Abilities and only use stars! Suck up stars and launch them to deal big damage to Tropic Woods. You can always find a star when the tree launches a windy gust attack. Stars also appear from the roots or when the tree summons a wall.
Mission: Clear within 2:00
- Beat the boss in two minutes or less. Go all-out with your upgraded Copy Abilities! Fire is a good one for dealing fast damage — but it makes winning without taking hits challenging.
Mission: Clear without taking any damage
- Using the upgraded Fire Copy Ability, you can drain his health bar very quickly. Float when he’s about to launch a gust of wind to avoid it and run away when coconuts start to fall. Take your time — if you’re very close to the boss, its root attack has a much harder time hitting you.
