Kirby's Chicken Race is a sub-game from Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble.
Game
In Kirby's Chicken Race, Kirby must race a chicken, as the name suggests. When the game starts, Kirby in a car and an egg will be sitting at the starting line. The player will have five seconds to hold left and the A button, then rapidly shake the Game Boy. This will charge up power in Kirby's car. Once five seconds are up, the egg will hatch into a chicken (which bears a striking resemblance to Tookey) and the player will no longer be able to charge.
When the race officially begins, the chicken will run ahead and Kirby, who is unable to control how fast he moves and cannot brake, will jet ahead. Kirby will earn points as he passes signs with numbers on them, similar to the goal game in Dyna Blade. The more charge the player put into the car, the farther Kirby will zoom, and the more points he'll gain.
There is a cliff just beyond 99m. The chicken will stop just before the cliff. The player must be careful how much charge he/she puts into Kirby's car; not passing the chicken will force Kirby to try again, as will driving off the cliff. If Kirby fails three times, the game will end with him being the loser.
Like all the sub-games in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby's Chicken Race can only be played if Kirby obtains the Bonus Star and clears the level he found it in.
Trivia
- If Kirby goes over the cliff, he will be wearing a bandage when he tries again. If he moves fast enough though, the bandage will fly off him.
- Along with his car metamortex, this is one of the few times Kirby interacts with an automobile.
