— Instructions • Kirby's Quick Draw |
Kirby's Quick Draw is a web game in the Kirby series. It was developed and published by Nintendo in 2015 as a promotion for Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. The game remained on the Kirby and the Rainbow Curse microsite on Nintendo of America's website until November 2019, when all North American Kirby microsites were deleted.[citation needed]
Gameplay[]
Kirby's Quick Draw is a timed connect-the-dots game. The player must click and drag the cursor across each point in numeric order, creating lines of different colors. These lines form the outline of a character whose facial features appear as images. When the outline is complete, artwork of the character appears, alongside a message. These include:
Number | Character | Points | Message |
---|---|---|---|
Tutorial | Grindarr | 4 | Congratulations! You got it! You're ready to play. |
1 | Kirby | 10 | Hi, Kirby! |
2 | Kirby Rocket | 13 | Blast off with Kirby Rocket |
3 | Bzztbulb | 15 | Don't get zapped! It's Bzztbulb |
4 | Grab Hand | 19 | Don't get picked up! It's Grab Hand |
5 | Whispy Woods | 24 | That's one angry tree. It's Whispy Woods |
6 | Bandana Waddle Dee | 31 | It's Kirby's good friend, Waddle Dee |
7 | Dangle Sloth | 21 | Dang, it's a droopy, bomb-dropping Dangle Sloth |
8 | Dethskullk | 24 | Uh-oh…it's a life-force draining Dethskullk |
9 | Sportle | 34 | This fellow will stick to you like glue. Meet Sportle! |
10 | The Claykken | 35 | Look out or you might get inked! It's Claykken |
"The Adventure Begins" plays once during the game and can be muted at any time by clicking the pink audio button in the upper-left corner. The player's time only begins counting for each round after lines have been drawn. It is possible to restart by clicking the green button in the upper-right corner (though as a safeguard, the player must click "Yes" after clicking the button). When all ten rounds are finished, the "Stage Clear" music plays and the total drawing time is given. The player is then challenged to beat this time by playing again or to challenge friends by linking the game via Facebook.
Trivia[]
- Despite the message stating that Whispy Woods is "one angry tree," the artwork shown displays a neutral expression.
- This is the only place in the series in which The Claykken is referred to only as "Claykken."
- Inspecting the game's files reveals that several characters' names are untranslated. These include "wispyWoods," "deathSkullk," and "squidLance."[2]
- As Kirby's Quick Draw lacks any credits list, the name(s) of the developer(s) is unknown.
