Answer 1

4 - Navigating The Toxic Maze - Hazy Maze Cave
---------------------------------------------------
Drop to the platform below and kill the spider enemy for 3 extra coins. Take
the right path this time. As you progress, another spider enemy will hop out
of a hole and attack you, so watch out for him. Continue through the narrow
edge for 5 more coins, then you'll come to a pit with fire shooting out of it.
To safely get across this pit, you need to jump when the fire is not there. If
you jump across the pit and hit the fire, you'll fall into the pit and lose a
life. Once you cross the pit, go into the door. In the new room, look to the
front left and you'll see a pole. Grab onto the pole and slide down to safely
descend into the new area. In the new area, go into the second hallway, and
into the wooden door at the end of the second hallway. In the new room, get
the five coins and drop down the hole. In the new room, you'll be in an area
with toxic gas. As long as you remain in the toxic gas, you'll lose energy, so
always try to stay on the higher ground. Go straight ahead on the higher
ground, and continue past the higher ground back into the toxic gas. You can
get the Metal Cap now if you have already accessed it. Turn right, then turn
left at the next intersection. Follow this hallway all the way down to the
end, you'll go past a section of higher ground with a mole in it. Keep going
down the hall past the U turn, and past another Snifit (enemy that launches
balls out of his nose). Now, take close attention of the wall. Eventually,
you should see what looks like four streaks of light in the wall. When you
see this, stand against this part of the wall so that your face is facing the
wall, and do a double jump. You will grab onto the bottom of an alcove in the
wall. Pull yourself completely into the alcove, and then into the steel door.
In the new room, go left past a few bats and two fire-shooting balls. Get the
line of coins, then jump on the yellow elevator. The elevator will lead you
to a small room with a star in it. Grab the star. Good job.
