This pad with a circle (perfect size for Kirby!) is where Kirby will start the course. Before moving on, you can examine the course from this spot (and any spot for that matter) on the map, and plan accordingly.

When Kirby rolls over this pad, it will direct him in the direction the arrow is pointing.

When Kirby rolls over this pad, it will warp him to another part of the course! Where does he go? Where the other warp pad on the course is naturally.

These outline the courses on the edges and are extremely useful to not only help Kirby angle and bounce around, but to keep from falling off the course.

While it seems harmless, Kirby doesn't float over water - he sinks. Without an ability that can help him, water can throw Kirby off track.

These useful pads, can be rolled over to drain water or if you want to for some reason, fill it back up!

These tiles aren't just normal course tiles, they move and if Kirby is on one, so will he. Can be helpful, but can also send Kirby in the wrong direction.

These convenient pads will turn rotating tiles on/off when Kirby rolls over them.

These pads are one of the worst obstacles in the game, because the moment Kirby rolls over one, he becomes stuck. The only way to get off without special abilities to help, is shooting Kirby into the air and off of the pad.

While the grass is a nice bit of scenery, it can be frustrating to roll over, since Kirby will roll in the direction of the arrows on the grass.

These fun vents shoot out bursts of air, that will send Kirby temporarily flying up into the air should he roll over one - and give him an extra boost.

These springy things Kirby can roll over, can send him flying and bouncing onto platforms and hard to reach areas. If used wrong they can create a big distraction.

This nasty pit of spikes can take away Kirby's tomatoes if he rolls over or into one!

If Kirby rolls onto this belt, he'll go wherever it takes him. Don't try to get off - once Kirby is on he's on until the ride is over, so sit back and take a break.

If Kirby rolls over this flashy pad, he'll rocket at a high speed in the direction the arrows are pointing.

While it's not a bad obstacle, it most definitely is the most important part of the course. When Kirby makes it into hole, he'll get to advance!
