'''''Kirby Mass Attack''''' is a spin-off ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2011. The central premise revolves around using the Nintendo DS stylus to direct and guide up to ten otherwise small and helpless mini-[[Kirby]]s, who were split from the original by the game's villain [[Necrodeus]] in order to make the pink puffball easier to defeat. Instead of controlling the Kirbys directly, the player has to use the stylus to flick them around, tell them where to run, and drag them over obstacles when needed. A lot of micromanagement is needed to keep the Kirbys from perishing as they make their way through the stages, and if any are lost, the Kirbys will need to collect fruit in order to create new ones, with the player losing if all the Kirbys are defeated. The objective is to lead them through the stages until encountering and defeating Necrodeus at the very end, so that Kirby may become his whole self again.

==Plot==

==Gameplay==

In another departure from the main ''Kirby'' series, ''Kirby Mass Attack'' does not have a traditional [[stamina|health meter]] for the Kirbys, but instead gives each one two hit points, and shows their state of health by their body color: Healthy Kirbys are pink, wounded Kirbys are blue, and KO'd Kirbys are gray. Wounded Kirbys can be restored to full health by tossing them through a Recovery Ring, which can be found at various points in stages. KO'd Kirbys will slowly flutter away on angel's wings and can be saved and returned to blue status if they are captured by a living Kirby before they are gone. However, some hazards such as [[Skully]]s and [[Gruegloom]]s may destroy Kirbys they manage to catch without any chance of rescue, while other hazards such as [[crusher]]s will KO Kirbys regardless of their health status. In the case that any Kirbys are lost, the player can replenish their numbers by having the remaining one(s) collect [[Fruit]]. Collecting 100 points worth of fruit will automatically add a new Kirby to the team, or give a score bonus if there are already ten. If all 10 Kirbys are lost during a stage, a [[Game Over]] occurs, and the stage has to be replayed from the beginning (there is no [[1-Up|extra life system]] in ''Kirby Mass Attack'').

|Unlike in other iterations, Whispy Woods fights by dropping spiky nuts instead of apples.

|-
