Ugh, this stage. At first you'll have a flock of Albatosses bombard you with Bob-ombs. My only advice here is to run and reach the end of the segment asap. Things calm down considerably afterwards. Remember to put a lid on the vases as they can spawn Shy Guys infinitely.

You'll face off against Red Birdo again, so just dispatch her quickly and take the crystal orb before moving on to the real boss, Clawgrip.

Clawgrip is surprisingly easy if you know what to do, but i imagine he can be quite a pain otherwise. He just sits there throwing rocks at you at different angles. They're fast too, which can make it hard to hurt him as you need to pick them up and throw them back. It takes five hits for him to fall. However, if you stand on the safe spot, you can just calmly wait for the rocks to bounce back slowly at ya, which you can then easily pick up and hurl back. You shouldn't really even get hit. Kill him and move on to the next world. We'll be revisiting the desert now.
