The golden rule with Kirby seems to be that when you take him out of his standardised platforming comfort zone and add some interesting mechanics or a fancy new control scheme – then some magic happens. There have been two previous Kirby outings for the DS – the exceptional Canvas Curse, with its sweet touch screen gameplay – and the slightly more underwhelming Squeak Squad, which was a fun, if conventional platformer packed with some rather unnecessary minigames. You see, he may not have the same high profile as some of Nintendo’s other intellectual properties, but as far as we are concerned, Kirbs is our homie and you can usually rely on HAL Laboratory to produce the goods where their puffy little rose-hued mascot is concerned. The last time we met caught up with him, our wee pink mucker Kirby was starring in a fabric based platformer that was stuffed so chock-full of innovation and wonderful, fuzzy charm that it instantly became one of the finest games of the year and for the Nintendo Wii, for that matter.
