The four [[Kirby (species)|Kirbys]] are being chased by every single [[enemy]] and [[mid-boss]] in the game except for [[Glunk]], [[Blipper]], [[Foley]], [[Jack]], [[Snapper]], [[Gordo]], [[Mirra]], [[Noddy]], [[Shotzo]], [[Sir Kibble]], [[Sparky]], and [[Shadow Kirby]]. Pink Kirby trips and gets trampled by all the enemies (although a [[Giant Rocky]] slammed down on him purposely). When all the enemies run by, Kirby crouches down. He peeks up to make sure everyone is gone and he runs after them.

Meanwhile, down in the peaceful Dream Land, [[Kirby]] was enjoying a leisurely walk. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a familiar shadow appeared! It looked like Meta Knight, but something seemed different. Without warning, the shadowy Meta Knight lunged at the daydreaming Kirby!<br>

What happened next, you ask? Well, Meta Knight's sword split Kirby into four, each one a different color!

There is a parallel universe called the [[Mirror World]], with a mirror-like entrance that exists high in the skies of [[Dream Land]]. It is a world where any wish reflected in the mirror will come true. One day, however, it only copies evil minds, and rapidly changes the world into a world of evil as a result. [[Meta Knight]] notices this and recognizes this as a threat to not only the Mirror World itself, but also to his native Dream Land, and visits the Mirror World to save the two worlds.

Meanwhile, Kirby is taking a walk, when [[Dark Meta Knight]] - an evil Mirror World version of Meta Knight - appears. Before Kirby can react, Dark Meta Knight slices Kirby into four differently-colored "Kirbys". At this point, they have to share the same [[Warp Star]]. Kirby normally travels alone, but if his [[Cell Phone]] is working, he can call his friends and they will help him. The four Kirbys chase after Dark Meta Knight and enter the Mirror World.

''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' is a traditional platformer ''Kirby'' game; the player controls [[Kirby]], whose objective is to get to the end of each stage by using [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]].
⚫
Unlike other ''Kirby'' games, ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' features a maze layout (in a fashion similar to games in the [[Wikipedia:Metroidvania|Metroidvania]] subgenre). It is very nonlinear, allowing the player to explore the Mirror World freely. The game map branches out in several directions, similar to certain areas of [[The Great Cave Offensive]], and, providing Kirby has the proper power at his disposal, he is able to go anywhere in almost any order, excluding the final level. If the player gains access to all mirrors (excluding the mirror the player is collecting shards for), they will be able to access a new mirror full of [[Copy Essence]]s for their use.

If the player gains access to all mirrors (excluding the Dimension Mirror), they will be able to access a mirror to the [[Ability Testing Area|Copy Ability Room]].
⚫
The game also features multiplayer, which is available through using a Multi-Pak and the player can call other players or CPU-controlled Kirbys to the location with an in-game cell phone. There are several new powers in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', such as [[Cupid]] (called Angel in the Japanese version), which allows Kirby to fly around with wings and a halo and fire arrows, [[Missile]], which turns Kirby into a missile that can be guided in any direction and will explode on contact with a wall or an enemy, or when the B button is hit, and [[Smash]], which gives Kirby the abilites he had in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Also, in this version, Kirby's ability to inhale various things has been enhanced, expanding its mouth for stronger inhaling, until he needs to exhale.
  
   
  +
One of the game's core mechanics is the implementation of [[Treasure Chest]]s spread out across the world, allowing Kirby to unlock [[Sound Test|music tracks]], [[Spray Paint]], and maps for the game's areas, as well as healing items and [[battery|batteries]] for the Kirbys' cell phones. Opening all treasure chests, regardless of their contents, is required for 100%.
⚫
The bosses and areas in the game appear to be mirrored versions of those in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''/''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.

Melee]]''.
−
Also, [[Master Hand]] from the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] appears; both as a mid-boss, and, alongside [[Crazy Hand]], as a boss.
  
  +
  +
The moveset of each [[Kirby (species)|Kirby]] includes the [[inhale]], [[Star Spit]], [[Slide]], [[Air Gun]], and floating. Kirby's inhale also been enhanced, making him capable of the [[Inhale#Super Inhale|super inhale]].
  +
  +
The game also features up to four-player multiplayer, and the players can call other Kirbys to their location with an in-game [[Cell Phone]].

Many bosses and areas in the game appear to be Mirror World versions of those found in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''/''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.

Kirby flies through an area on the [[Warp Star]] filled with [[1UP]]s, [[battery|batteries]], and various types of food. The goal is to collect what is desired while avoiding obstructions in the form of concrete blocks before time runs out. If one of the blocks is hit, control will be lost for about a second, although Kirby takes no damage.

  +
*[[Green Kirby]]
  +
  +
The game supports multiplayer, with up to four players. Each player plays as a member of Kirby's species. Player 1 is Kirby, Player 2 is a [[Yellow Kirby]], Player 3 is a [[Red Kirby]], and Player 4 is a [[Green Kirby]]. If other players have obtained [[Spray Paint]]s before starting the game, colors can be switched beforehand.
  +
  +
Story Mode and [[Boss Endurance]] are cooperative modes; the remaining three sub-games are competitive modes. No player characters have any differentiation in their abilities, nor do their [[Copy Abilities]].
  +
  +
Before starting the game, each player chooses a file on their respective ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' Game Paks. After each player selects the multiplayer option (assuming all systems are connected accordingly), players will then choose to which Game Pak the data will be saved to.
  +
  +
When pressing the R button to call other players with the [[Cell Phone]], the other players have the option to respond to that call by pressing R, warping them to the location of the Kirby that called. [[Boss]]es and [[mid-boss]]es have more health when playing with multiple players, encouraging players to call and work together to take them down. If a player loses all of their lives, they have the option to borrow one life from another player to continue with their current progress, or can opt not to borrow lives and return to the [[Central Circle]] with the default number of lives remaining.

Revision as of 05:37, 12 June 2020

“ In this game, players didn't have to defeat stages in a specific, preset order. Instead, they were able to freely explore the game's vast new world and choose their own paths to victory. Along the way, Kirby could call his yellow, red, and green Kirby buddies for help by using his trusty cell phone. Kirby could also use new powers. One of them, Smash, was an incredible combat ability that let Kirby unleash his Super Smash Bros. moves.”
— Summary • Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror is a platformer Kirby game developed by HAL Laboratory, Flagship, and Dimps and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. It was first released in Japan on April 15, 2004, in Europe on July 2, 2004, and in North America on October 18, 2004. It was the last Kirby game released for the Game Boy Advance.

In the summer of 2011, this game was re-released during the Ambassador program promotion, and was given to certain people for free in the Nintendo 3DS online shop. This game has also been re-released in Europe for Club Nintendo members only. Kirby & The Amazing Mirror has also been re-released on the Wii U Virtual Console in April 2014.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror is notable for being the last Kirby title with the credited involvement of the series' creator Masahiro Sakurai.

Story

Intro

The four Kirbys are being chased by every single enemy and mid-boss in the game except for Glunk, Blipper, Foley, Jack, Snapper, Gordo, Mirra, Noddy, Shotzo, Sir Kibble, Sparky, and Shadow Kirby. Pink Kirby trips and gets trampled by all the enemies (although a Giant Rocky slammed down on him purposely). When all the enemies run by, Kirby crouches down. He peeks up to make sure everyone is gone and he runs after them.

Main Story

Dimension Mirror artwork

The Dimension Mirror

“ High in the skies above Dream Land floats the Mirror World. In this strange and beautiful land, mirrors have the power to make any wishes reflected in them come true. One day, a sinister presence invaded the Mirror World, and its mirrors could only reflect bad things. When Meta Knight discovered what was happening, he set off to save the Mirror World.

Meanwhile, down in the peaceful Dream Land, Kirby was enjoying a leisurely walk. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a familiar shadow appeared! It looked like Meta Knight, but something seemed different. Without warning, the shadowy Meta Knight lunged at the daydreaming Kirby!

What happened next, you ask? Well, Meta Knight's sword split Kirby into four, each one a different color! Meta Knight took off into the sky, and all four Kirbys hopped onto a Warpstar to chase after him! And that's where our adventure really begins!”
— The Adventure Begins • Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Instruction Booklet

There is a land called the Mirror World that exists high in the skies of Dream Land. It is a world where any wish reflected in the mirror will come true. One day, however, it only copies evil minds, and rapidly changes the world into a world of evil as a result. Meta Knight notices this and recognizes this as a threat to not only the Mirror World itself, but also to his native Dream Land, and visits the Mirror World to save the two worlds.

Meanwhile, Kirby is taking a walk, when Dark Meta Knight—an evil Mirror World version of Meta Knight—appears. Before Kirby can react, Dark Meta Knight slices Kirby into four differently-colored Kirbys. At this point, the Kirbys have to share the same Warp Star. The four Kirbys chase after Dark Meta Knight and enter the Mirror World.

The two Meta Knights fight each other, but the real Meta Knight is defeated. He is knocked into the Dimension Mirror, which is then cut into eight fragments by Dark Meta Knight. Those fragments are then scattered across the Mirror World. It's up to Kirby and his new friends to save Meta Knight, the Mirror World, and Dream Land.

The Kirbys decide to venture through the Mirror World, and they collect and reunite the Mirror Shards, so that they can gain access to the area where Meta Knight is being held and defeat Dark Meta Knight (as well as the mastermind behind the events of the game, Dark Mind). At the end, all the Kirbys have their own Warp Stars, showing that they are each heroes in their own right.

Gameplay

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror is a traditional platformer Kirby game; the player controls Kirby, whose objective is to get to the end of each stage by using Copy Abilities.

Unlike other Kirby games, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror features a metroidvania-esque open world to explore. The game map branches out in several directions, similar to certain areas of The Great Cave Offensive, and, providing Kirby has the proper power at his disposal, he is able to go anywhere in almost any order, excluding the final level. If the player gains access to all mirrors (excluding the Dimension Mirror), they will be able to access a mirror to the Copy Ability Room.

One of the game's core mechanics is the implementation of Treasure Chests spread out across the world, allowing Kirby to unlock music tracks, Spray Paint, and maps for the game's areas, as well as healing items and batteries for the Kirbys' cell phones. Opening all treasure chests, regardless of their contents, is required for 100%.

There are several new Copy Abilities in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, such as Cupid, which allows Kirby to fly around with wings and fire arrows, Missile, which turns Kirby into a missile that can be guided in any direction and will explode on contact with a wall or an enemy as well as on command, and Smash, which gives Kirby the moveset he had in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

The moveset of each Kirby includes the inhale, Star Spit, Slide, Air Gun, and floating. Kirby's inhale also been enhanced, making him capable of the super inhale.

The game also features up to four-player multiplayer, and the players can call other Kirbys to their location with an in-game Cell Phone.

Many bosses and areas in the game appear to be Mirror World versions of those found in Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Modes

Main Games

  • Story Mode

Sub-games

Goal Game

Kirby flies through an area on the Warp Star filled with 1UPs, batteries, and various types of food. The goal is to collect what is desired while avoiding obstructions in the form of concrete blocks before time runs out. If one of the blocks is hit, control will be lost for about a second, although Kirby takes no damage.

Characters

Playable Characters

The game supports multiplayer, with up to four players. Each player plays as a member of Kirby's species. Player 1 is Kirby, Player 2 is a Yellow Kirby, Player 3 is a Red Kirby, and Player 4 is a Green Kirby. If other players have obtained Spray Paints before starting the game, colors can be switched beforehand.

Story Mode and Boss Endurance are cooperative modes; the remaining three sub-games are competitive modes. No player characters have any differentiation in their abilities, nor do their Copy Abilities.

Before starting the game, each player chooses a file on their respective Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Game Paks. After each player selects the multiplayer option (assuming all systems are connected accordingly), players will then choose to which Game Pak the data will be saved to.

When pressing the R button to call other players with the Cell Phone, the other players have the option to respond to that call by pressing R, warping them to the location of the Kirby that called. Bosses and mid-bosses have more health when playing with multiple players, encouraging players to call and work together to take them down. If a player loses all of their lives, they have the option to borrow one life from another player to continue with their current progress, or can opt not to borrow lives and return to the Central Circle with the default number of lives remaining.
