How to Find the First HAL Labs Easter Egg
The first HAL Labs easter egg room is in level 1-4. Play through the first section of the level as normal until you get to the star door. Instead of walking through it, however, jump up the platforms to the right of it and stand on the ledge that has the two ovular pillars sticking out of it in the background. Once you touch that, you’ll have flipped an invisible switch.
Turn around and head to the left. You’ll find a section of the ground has been lowered so jump down and you’ll find a bush with a hidden door in it. Go through the door.
Inside the door, you’ll find a path with a decent amount of stars for you to collect leading to some star blocks that are laid out to spell “HAL” as well as some ability pedestals for copy abilities that are unavailable in the first world of the game. If you break the HAL sign, you’ll be rewarded with more red stars. Once you’re done in the room, exit through the door on the right side of the area and you’ll be taken directly to the second section of the level.
