Palazzo di Vaati

After vanquishing the evil forces on the mainland, a diabolical surprise appears in the heavens. It's a floating palace where Vaati, the wind mage, rules from above. He doubts that you can defeat him. Prove the blowhard wrong.

To enter Vaati's Palace, you'll need to have won a key from each of the mainland stages—the Sea of Trees, Talus Cave and Death Mountain. Once inside, you'll find dungeon constructions that put everything you've learned to the test. And, just like the wind, Vaati's Palace is ever-changing. Each time you enter, you'll find that the structure has changed into something even more treacherous.

When floor tiles pop up and fly toward you, block their attack with your shield. Eventually, the fiendish floor will run out of tiles and you'll be able to continue on your way.

Well-armored creatures patrol parts of Vaati's Palace. To break through their shells, strike with a spinning sword attack. At the very least, you might smack your foe off a palace ledge.
