Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (known as Kirby and the Rainbow Powerbrush in Europe) is an upcoming Kirby game for the Wii U set for release on February 13, 2015. The game is a sequel/successor to Kirby: Canvas Curse for the Nintendo DS,[1] but rather than centering around a painted art style, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse uses a clay motif instead.
Plot
On Planet Popstar, Kirby is seen up upon a hill. He brought an apple for a snack, but he accidentally dropped it down the hill. Kirby runs after it, but trips and begins rolling down the hill with the apple. Bandana Waddle Dee is seen fishing with his spear when the apple rolls and falls into the lake beside him. Kirby follows and knocks Bandana Dee over. While Kirby tries to get his apple, Bandana Dee gets up and notices a hole is forming in the sky. The hole begins to shoot a ray of light that drains the color from the land and makes anything it touches lifeless. Bandana Dee tries to warn Kirby, but is too late and the light turns them both into colorless clay. The hole begins to disappear, but before it closes, a paint brush-like girl falls through. Two hands then begin to chase the girl until she finds Kirby and Bandana Dee. She recolors them and Kirby saves her before she is about to be grabbed by the two hands. Bandana Dee then knocks the hands away before they can attack again, and the hands fly back into the hole in the sky. The paint brush girl asks Kirby and Bandana Dee for help and they both accept. The girl then paints a rainbow rope that Kirby and Bandana Dee follow into the hole in the sky.[2]

Gameplay
Kirby can ride on rainbow lines, much like in Kirby: Canvas Curse, and tapping Kirby will cause him to dash forward. The player can use the rainbow lines to interact with the environment, such as blocking off water- or lava-falls. Kirby has four hit points and can transform into a Tank, Submarine, or Rocket at certain intervals. After collecting 100 stars, Kirby can use "Star Dash," a charge attack with greatly increased power, speed, and range. Kirby will glow cyan when he has enough power to use it. Kirby's transformations can also receive buffs via collecting 100 stars. With the multiplayer co-op, other players can use Bandana Waddle Dees (which have two hit points) that can double jump as well as carry and throw Kirby. Goal game returns, featuring eight rotating circles in which Kirby may collide with one. Each circle is labeled with a prize. Rankings at the end of stages are given depending on the overall numbers of stars collected, ranging from Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals (though there may potentially be a platinum medal). Treasure chests collected throughout gameplay unlock trophies and music (some from previous games); in the game's Sound Test, players can even pick favorite songs by marking them with a star. The trophies can be viewed on a shelf, or individually. Viewing one individually allows the player to control the camera, and also provides a description of the character. There is also a story book. Pages can be obtained occasionally during the Goal game. The game is also compatible with Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede amiibo figures.
Trivia
- Unlike his appearance in Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby's hands and feet can be seen but are significantly smaller than in his usual appearances.
- This is the third game in which Kirby and the world around him are made to look like a specific crafts material (clay in this case), the others being Kirby: Canvas Curse (paint) and Kirby's Epic Yarn (yarn).
- Humorously, a clay bandage appears on Kirby's head when he is at low health. [5]
- Similarly to Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, there seem to be different color variations of characters, such as Bronto Burt and Bandana Waddle Dee.
- Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is set for release in 2015, ten years after the release of Kirby: Canvas Curse.
- When Kirby is painted into a tank by the fairy-like creature, it gives him a color scheme referencing Rick. It could also reference the fact that a tank was originally going to be the thing Kirby would ride, but this idea was replaced by Animal Friends.
- The power-ups Meta Knight's and King Dedede's amiibo figures grant Kirby are similar to their own respective stats in Kirby: Canvas Curse (increased speed and decreased weight for Meta Knight, and increased vitality and weight for King Dedede).
- A cyan Bandana Waddle Dee was shown in promotional artwork at E3 2014. This Waddle Dee, which was presumably meant to be a fifth player at one point, has not appeared since and was likely scrapped.
