Kirby + Kirby

Kirby + Kirby is the twenty-sixth stage in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. It is the second stage of Purple Fortress. It comes after Infiltrate the Junk Factory! and before Wonder Space.

General Information
While traveling through a Suction Pipe, Kirby passes through a machine that splits him into two bodies. These two Kirbys are then separated and must use teamwork to collect items and hit switches to open doors. They then reunite on a rising platform. Soarars, Bronto Burts, and Cannon Cottas ambush the Kirbys; the heroes can counterattack by Tap Dashing into each other, which causes them to bounce around at high speed. The Kirbys eventually merge back into one body before heading into Wonder Space.

Both Kirbys share vitality--if the vitality meter runs out, both Kirbys are KO'd. If the player holds the stylus on one Kirby after collecting 100 Point Stars, only that Kirby will use a Star Dash.

Trivia

 * Kirby + Kirby and Deploy the Kirby Tank! are the only stages in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse in which Kirby can collect only four Treasure Chests.
 * Kirby + Kirby marks the third time in which Kirby was split into more than one copy. The previous two times were in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby Mass Attack.
