Kirby: Canvas Curse

Kirby Canvas Curse is a game for the Nintendo DS and was released on March 24, 2005 in Japan.

It was Kirby's first DS game, and played using only the stylus.

Plot
One day in dreamland, a strange portal appears in the sky. A witch named Drawcia comes out of it, and casts a spell that turns all of Dreamland into a world of paint. As Drawcia flees back to the world she came from, Kirby chases her, and finds himself in her world, which is made of paint. Drawcia then turns Kirby into a limbless ball, and escapes. However, Kirby touches the magical Paintbrush, which turns to the player to help Kirby. Kirby and the Player then set off to defeat Drawcia and return Dreamland to normal.

The game has seven worlds, plus an eighth world which is just a boss battle against Drawcia. Each level consists of three worlds, each with its own name. Instead of a set boss battle at the end of each level, you must complete one of three minigames, on increasing difficulties:

Cart Run, a race against King Dedede while swallowing food to increse your speed.

Paint Panic: A game where you must connect dots in the same order Paint Roller did within a time limit.

Block Attack: A game where you bounce Kirby into blocks and eventually fight Kracko, or Kracko Jr. on level 1.

The levels Are:


 * 1) Reddy Land, consisting ofPlant Plain, Tiny Town, and Ravine Road.
 * 2) Arange Gorge
 * 3) Iello Adventure
 * 4) Neo Greo
 * 5) Bloo Hills
 * 6) Omarine Zone
 * 7) Wonder Lilane
 * 8) The World of Drawcia

Gameplay
Instaed of the traditional control sceme, where players control Kirby directly with the D-pad and buttons, in Canvas Curse the player draws lines that Kirby will roll on, and taps Kirby to make him do a dash attack. If Kirby hits an enemy with an ability wiith the dash attack, he will copy their ability, and will do it in place of his dash attack.

Abilities
The game features 11 abilities: Wheel, Stone, missile, crash, freeze, balloon, and more.

characters
The game features, in addition to Kirby, Waddle Dee, Waddle Doo, King DeDeDe, and Meta Knight as playable characters. Waddle Dee is faster then Kirby, but can't copy abilities. Waddle Doo permanently uses Beam, King Dedede has a Hammer attack and the highest HP out of any character, but is very slow. Meta Knight is fast and has his signature sword attack, but has only 3 health. Also, Kirby is the only one whose max HP can be increased.

Medals
In canvas Curse, every world has three medals hidden in it, and they are what needs to be collected to get 100%. Medals can be exchanged in Medal Swap for things such as special ability themed courses in Rainbow Run, Different line colors, Music, and even new characters.

Rainbow Run
Rainbow Run is a way to unlock medals. In it, you go through a stage from the game, and try to either finish quickly or finish using as little lines as possible.

This game is fun.
