Kirby's Avalanche (known as Kirby's Ghost Trap in the PAL region) is a puzzle game developed by HAL Laboratory that was released in 1995. The game is an adaption of the Japanese puzzle game Puyo Puyo with Kirby characters. It is also like Tetris. Not being made in Japan, the game was not called canon and therefore never released in Japan.

Gameplay

Kirby competing against Lololo & Lalala.

Notably, in the cut-scenes between every round, Kirby is shown trash-talking his opponents in full sentences. This a strange part of this game considering the rest of the Kirby series where Kirby is not rude, and doesn't say a word.

Bosses/Stages

During the Competition mode of the game, Kirby may face a total of 16 Bosses in the order presented. These bosses do not possess any special skills (apart from King Dedede, whose blobs make the ground shake, resulting in a purely optical effect), but their playing styles vary slightly, generally becoming faster and more aggressive as Kirby advances through the game.

It should be noted that Waddle Dee, Bronto Burt and Waddle Doo are exclusive to the game's Easy mode (and are the only opponents fought in that mode), while Poppy Bros. Sr., Whispy Woods and Kabu are exclusive to Normal mode. Individual battles are referred to as Lessons (in Easy mode) or Stages.

Stage	Name	Appearance	Abbr.	Pre-Battle Exchange	Notes
Lesson 1	Waddle Dee		WADE	Kirby: Hi, Waddle Dee! Are you ready?!?	Waddle Dee never speeds up or turns any of its blobs while they are falling and appears to place them at random.
				Enemy: Umm, can we just walk together? The forest scares me...
				Kirby: Sorry, rules are rules!
Lesson 2	Bronto Burt		BRON	Enemy: Ah HA!! I have found my next victim!!	-
				Kirby: Bronto Burt you bully, the pleasure will be all mine.
				Enemy: Shut up and play!
Lesson 3	Waddle Doo		WADO	Enemy: You did not treat Waddle Dee with respect... Now I, Waddle Doo will repay you in kind!	-
				Kirby: I don't think so!!
Stage 1	Poppy Bros. Sr.		PBSR	Enemy: Hi, Kirby! Want a bomb sandwich?	Like Waddle Dee, Poppy Bros. Sr. does not turn its blobs.
				Kirby: I'll breathe in your pathetic bombs and send them right back at you!
				Enemy: Stalemate... Okay, let's compete in a quick game of Avalanche!
Stage 2	Whispy Woods		WHIS	Enemy: Please don't tread on my roots, it would not be a wise decision.	Whispy always opens the battle by attempting to build four rows of blob at the bottom.
				Kirby: I feel like some apple pie!
Stage 3	Kabu		KABU	Kirby: Who blocked the path with this boulder?	-
				Enemy: Your road to glory ends here
				Kirby: OH!! Hi Kabu, are you ready for a game of Avalanche?
Stage 4	Broom Hatter		BRMH	Enemy: Oh what a mess! Must I clean up this entire forest?	Broom Hatter is the first opponent in Hard mode and fills the leftmost and rightmost column to the top at the beginning of the fight.
				Kirby: I'd worry more about cleaning up your Avalanche skills first.
				Enemy: Dust, dust, sweep... Huh?!??
Stage 5	Squishy		SQUI	Enemy: I know what your dream is! But King Dedede was saying-	-
				Kirby: Go meddle in someone else's affairs, Squishy, I've got to get to the Dream Fountain.
				Enemy: An eight-armed Avalanche for you then, Kirby!
Stage 6	Lololo & Lalala		LOLA	Kirby: To get this far you must have a-MAZE-ing skill Tee hee hee!!	-
				Enemy: Oh yeah? Try and figure your way out of this!
Stage 7	Bugzzy		BUGZ	Enemy: ROOAAAAAAARRR!!!!!	-
				Kirby: Oh, I'm soooo scared
Stage 8	Paint Roller		PAIN	Enemy: Let me paint you a lovely portrait...	-
				Kirby: Oh, how sweet of yo-
				Enemy: ...of you losing to me, HA HA HA!
				Kirby: Paint Roller, you are the meanest art student I've ever met.
				Enemy: Student? HA! I am the MASTER!!
Stage 9	Heavy Mole		HVYM	Enemy: I am Heavy Mole, watch while I undermine your precious dream!!	Heavy Mole is the first opponent fought at the Dream Fountain and focuses primarily on rapidly destroying blobs rather than forming big chain reactions.
				Kirby: You are sneaky, but I will not be distracted by your under-handed tactics.
Stage 10	Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright		MS&B	Enemy: We rule both the night and the day!	-
				Enemy: This leaves no time for you Kirby! Be gone!!
				Kirby: I thrive at dusk and at dawn! I'll have you two fighting before the day is done.
Stage 11	Kracko		KRAC	Enemy: KRRR-RACKK!!!! Dance to my deadly music, or fry like a moth! HA HA!!	-
				Kirby: You couldn't hit a barn sized lightning rod, Kracko!
Stage 12	Meta Knight		META	Enemy: None shall pass! En garde, Kirby!	Meta Knight is more skilled than other opponents at making a comeback when most of his playing field has been covered in rocks.
				Kirby: But I have no sword!?!
				Enemy: Oh, you're so right... Then Avalanche it is, ha ha ha ha!!!
Final Stage	King Dedede		DEDE	Enemy: Kirby!! Your dream has carried you far but here it ends.	When Dedede's blobs land, his half of the screen shakes slightly. This has no effect on gameplay, however.
				Enemy: The Dream Fountain Cup will be mine!!
				Kirby: Welcome King Dedede. And good luck to you too.

Trivia

• Whispy Woods is the 5th boss rather than the first as in most other games.
• Tetris is similar to this game in many ways.
• The rival of Nintendo, Sega, released a game similar to this and Puyo Puyo, two years before this.
