About This Game

The game consists of six main sub-games plus two mini-games, each offering unique gameplay experiences. It introduced revolutionary mechanics like the Helper system where copied abilities could become AI partners.

Notable modes include 'Spring Breeze' (a condensed version of Kirby's Dream Land), 'The Great Cave Offensive' (a Metroidvania-style treasure hunt), and 'Milky Way Wishes' (which introduced permanent copy abilities).

The game was praised for its colorful graphics, innovative co-op gameplay (allowing a second player to control Helpers), and dynamic soundtrack. It influenced all subsequent Kirby games and received a DS remake in 2008.
