What each player can do here

P1 · Kirby
  • Kirby: the adventure is Kirby's; the other players join around Kirby as another Kirby or one of Kirby's friends.
P2 · Players 2–4
  • Players 2 to 4 can join at any point as King Dedede, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, or a Kirby in another colour. Joining costs a 1-Up, but it still works with no lives left (that player starts with half health).
  • Ride piggyback on another player, then press and release L or R together for a Team Attack.
  • A Super Ability swung at another player only knocks them back; it never hurts them.

If your skill levels differ: If anyone is new, turn on Helper Magolor: everyone gets a potion that doubles maximum health, and Magolor pulls players out of bottomless pits. Riding piggyback on another player also lets the two of you combine into a Team Attack. How to split the roles

The stages

Part 1 of 2. Clear the stages and collect the Energy Spheres.

  1. BothSuper Abilities appear in Stage 2 (Flare Beam), Stage 4 (Grand Hammer) and Stage 6, the boss (Ultra Sword).

Part 2 of 2. Beat Grand Doomer and win back the mast.

  1. KirbyTheGamer recommends Mecha from the six abilities on offer. Grand Doomer swallows the mast as the fight starts.single source
  2. BothWhen it swoops across the arena, get out of its path. Its fireballs can be hit back at it.
  3. BothWhen four dark rifts open, it will burst out of one of them; stay clear of all of them.
  4. BothIf a dark patch appears under you, move. It grabs anyone standing on it in its jaws; wiggle the stick fast to escape.
  5. BothIn its second half it fires faster and sends homing shots; destroy those quickly.
  6. BothWhen its health runs out it curls into a star-marked shield that only Super Abilities can hurt. One of the enemies it summons carries Ultra Sword; take it and hit the shield four times when it lands, then once more to finish it.
