Kirby's Dream Course

Kirby's Dream Course (Kirby Bowl in Japan) is a video game for the Super Nintendo. It was the very first 3D Kirby (series)Kirby game. It is a golf style game with power ups. There are eight courses in the game and each one has eight holes. The game has a scoring system which awards Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for each level. There are unlockables in the game once a player gets enough medals. The player eventually meets a robot version of King Dedede at the top.

Gameplay
The player uses Kirby as a ball. Kirby must hit enemies on the course and the last enemy becomes a hole which must then be sunk into. There is a health meter represented by Tomatoes. Tomatoes are gained by sinking the ball and hitting characters. They are lost when Kirby hits spikes. Powerups can be gained by hitting certain enemies. These include Freeze, UFO, Hi-Jump and Stone. There is a video tutorial system in the game which explains 20 techniques.

Trivia

 * This game contains many sound effects from EarthBound/MOTHER2 as both games were being developed side by side.
 * Kirby's Dream Course was supposed to be a non-Kirby game called Special Tee Shot. Remnants from when it was supposed to be Special Tee Shot can be found hidden in the Japanese version of the game. Special Tee Shot was eventually released in 1998 in Japan exclusively on the Satellaview.
