Rolling spike balls, Dry Bones, and Amps are some of the hazards that must be avoided as the floor scrolls upward. At the end of the fortress, Lemmy Koopa is found balancing on a yellow ball.

Castle
Lemmy's Castle is riddled with giant falling icicles and frozen floors making timed jumps difficult. There are also some segments with Bottomless Pits, which are traversed by a Ice Snake Block similar to the Snake Block seen in Roy Koopa and Larry Koopa's castles in Super Mario World. However, this one is frozen. This is also the first level to feature Bob-ombs.
Lemmy Koopa is fought again here. Kamek turns Lemmy's ball bigger so it will be harder for Mario and co. to hurt Lemmy. As he takes damage, Lemmy's ball will grow bigger in size after he is done sliding his shell to attack Mario and gang.
