Evolved the Needle to the Crystal Needle ability. This one leaves a trail of crystals as you roll around, plus it will throw a couple of crystals in addition to any objects stuck to you. I completed the associated challenge, which wasn't too difficult and earned me a rare stone.
Then I continued clearing missions. The boss battle against Sillydillo had the usual time and no-hit ones. The latter was slightly tricky since his rolling and dancing attacks are a bit difficult to dodge, but the Morpho sword is your friend - both for its long dash and ranged attack when at full health (this is also an easy way to track if you've been hit). I found out that you can block the puppets he throws at you, but most his other attacks will do chip damage.
I found the Buzz-Saw Cutter blueprint in the Searching the Oasis level - it was ridiculously well hidden and very easy to miss. I didn't have enough rare stones to evolve it, so I had to grind the Coliseum to obtain them yet again. The Cutter isn't a great power in general, but at least this was the last Copy Ability that I needed to evolve. The blacksmith rewarded me with a special figure of himself for achieving that. The Buzz-Saw looks really funny as a hat and its blades can bounce off walls, which is what the challenge was about - hit tricky switches from afar. Finishing this Treasure Road rewarded me with yet another special figure since it was the last one.
The Enter the Fiery Forbidden Lands stage had an annoying mission where you have to use the water balloon Kirby to extinguish 7 falling lava balls, which means you have to be precise and quick as you only get one chance to do that before having to replay the level.
