Cutscenes Leading To

The Lake stage occurs after Donkey Kong punches Diddy Kong out of the way of Bowser's Dark Cannon. Diddy is jumping through the jungle and he lands by a vast lake. He sees a crashed Arwing (the same one shot down by the Halberd in the Skyworld level), and goes over to check it out. The lake then vibrates as Rayquaza rises from the lake, and threatens Diddy. Apparently, Diddy violated Rayquaza's territory, so the legendary Pokemon wants to make him pay. Rayquaza uses Dragon Pulse and engulfs the crashed Arwing in flames. Grabbing Diddy, the Pokemon is about to finish Diddy when a figure jumps out of the Arwing and uses his Fox Illusion technique to liberate Diddy. Landing, it shows his name, and then he gestures to Diddy to help him fight Rayquaza.

Overview

Choose between Fox or Diddy, and fight Rayquaza. Rayquaza can easily be defeated using Fox's acrobatics or Diddy's speed. Either way, defeating Rayquaza is a cinch. In a cutscene after the boss fight, Fox will attempt to leave, but Diddy will try to appeal to him, with no success. Diddy just decides to drag Fox away with him. Choose between Fox or Diddy and continue the level. You must traverse through a trail that parallels the lake. Afterwards, you will fight a false version of Bowser. After defeating him, a cutscene will occur where the real Bowser comes in and attempts to trophy the two new teammates. Diddy prepares to fight Bowser, but Fox grabs him and dashes away, knowing they can't defeat Bowser. After beating this level,Fox joins your party.

Returning

Characters with good speed and decent power should return to this stage if you missed any key items to completing the stage 100% (ex: Marth, Fox, Falco, etc.)
