Gavin is our gamer in the house. In the past year we’ve had to start limiting his time on the DS and Wii because he would never get off otherwise. He really likes the Kirby games that are out there right now and when he saw Kirby Mass Attack for Nintendo DS he immediately let us know that he wanted to tell Santa all about it.
One day, an evildoer with a magic cane appears and splits Kirby into 10 pieces. Kirby sets off on a journey to return to his original form. Players use the touch screen to control a mass of Kirby characters in a new and novel way. Swipe the touch screen to launch them in a mass attack against enemies, then tap the enemies into submission.
A New Twist on a Pink Hero
One day, an evildoer with a magic cane appears and splits Kirby™ into 10 pieces. Kirby sets off on a journey to return to his original form. Players use the touch screen to control a mass of Kirby characters in a new and novel way. Swipe the touch screen to launch them in a mass attack against enemies, then tap the enemies into submission.
- Players use the stylus on the touch screen to control a swarm of up to 10 Kirby characters at once. They 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. 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 a stylus on the touch screen. For example, a Kirby character 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.
- By collecting medals hidden throughout the various stages, players can unlock a wide variety of additional mini-games, each with its own distinctive challenges.

Oh wow! I haven’t seen Kirby since I was little, I almost forgot about him. It’s too bad Matt broke his DS, he’d have liked this game.
My girls love Kirby. Great review for this game, it will definitely go on the Christmas shopping list. Thanks!
The characters look very cool. I like the colors and the graphics.
