A New Twist on a Pink Hero
--------------------------
Everyone's favorite, flexible pink hero is back in a whole new
adventure for Nintendo DS with a unique gameplay twist, entirely
new to the Kirby franchise. In Kirby: Mass Attack, an evildoer
with a magic cane appears and amazingly splits Kirby into ten
pieces, but resilient as ever, Kirby is not only able to keep all
ten parts of himself in close proximity, but to also control each
of these simultaneously. Kirby then sets off on a journey to find
a way to return to his original form, but there will be
challenges and puzzles to face in this, all of which will require
your help if Kirby is to become whole again.
Gameplay
--------
Players use the stylus on the touch screen to control a swarm of
up to ten Kirby characters at once. Together multiple Kirbys can
help players defeat enemies and find treasure. The number of
Kirby characters under a player's control is important, as some
challenges require a specific number of Kirby characters in order
to be solved. And when the number of Kirby characters is
increased, players can gain the upper hand. Players can control
each Kirby character in a variety of ways using their stylus on
the touch screen. For example, single Kirby characters can be
launched into the air with a flick of the stylus, or players can
make a swarm of Kirby characters dash to a given point by tapping
on that spot on the touch screen multiple times. As with previous
Kirby games, success is rewarded with in-game medals -- gold,
silver and bronze -- which are handed out according to how you
succeeded. By collecting medals hidden throughout the various
stages, players can unlock a wide variety of additional
mini-games, each with its own distinctive challenges.
