Although the game was only released in Japan it is still very enjoyable. Released in 1996 the game never made it's way to the US but can still be played via emulation . The game includes nine different games in one pack, creating a megapack of fun and entertainment. The game features 20 "powers" that Kirby can gain from his enemies, this is a guide presented to cover those powers in-depth with descriptions and where they can be found. CORRECTION: It seems that 'Kirby Super Star' *was* indeed released in the United States shortly after the Japanese release, but it was on a small scale. The game is apparently a rare find and worth a pretty penny if you do find it. NOTE: I will *not* send anybody any ROMs!

Take accurate aim and throw carefully. Your throw will be controlled by Y. Y: hold bomb throw a bomb set a bomb (near enemy) Down + Y: drop a bomb Dash + Y: straight throw *: Bomb angle depends on how long you press Y. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cook: This is one of the few abilities that you can only use once, then it disappears. You get it by defeating and swallowing the Chef Kawasaki mini-boss. When it's used Kirby bangs on a metal pot and a giant pot falls to the ground. Then, all the enemies on the screen go into the pot and Kirby jumps up onto the pot and stirs its contents. Finally, the enemies that were in the pot pop out, but as power-ups to recover your health! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Copy: Copy enemies' abilities without fighting! The helper will also be able to copy abilities! Y: analyze beam (Kirby); sneaky hand (Helper) *: Can copy an enemy's ability. *: The helper can dump a copy ability by pressing A. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Crash: This is another one-use ability obtained by either swallowing the walking bomb enemy with a skull picture on it or using the Copy ability on the floating orange heads. When used, Kirby explodes and all of the regular enemies onscreen will be defeated. When used against a boss, it'll give the boss a good amount of damage. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cutter: The cutter can cut anything in its path. Use it to cut down enemies, as well as ropes that get in your way. Y: cutter boomerang Dash + Y: cutter dash attack Y repeatedly: cutter drop attack (in air) Down + Y: high-speed cutter drop (in air) Y repeatedly: nonstop cutter attack (near enemy) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Fighter: Copy the abilities of Fighter and assume the role of a mighty karate expert.

Get it by swallowing a walking microphone enemy. It destroys all regular enemies. It won't instantly destroy a boss enemy but it will take off about 30% percent each time, so by the time you use all three attacks you have most of the Boss's energy drained. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mirror: Reflect enemy attacks or fool them by creating a double image of Kirby. Y: mirror cut Hold Y: reflect force Dash + Y: mirror body L or R: reflect guard ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ninja: Copy the famous Japanese Ninja to hide in shadows and vanish into the darkness!

You can also swallow the blobs that Heavy Lobster spits out to get this ability. You can only use this move once, though. You can blind Heavy Lobster and change the Chameleon's colors with it! (You can't get this ability in the Milky Way Wishes.) Y: paint blast ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Parasol: Protect Kirby from enemies above! Splash, drill, or toss your enemies to the sky! A lot of possibilities with the Parasol. Y: parasol swing Forward + Y: parasol roll (near enemy) Hold Y: parasol shield Up: parasol chute (in air) Dash + Y: parasol drill Down + Y: parasol dive (in air) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Plasma: Shock your enemies by firing sparks! *: The more you press the Control Pad, the more power is stored.
