Kirby: Squeak Squad, called Kirby Squeak Squad in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, is a game for the Nintendo DS released in 2006, developed by Flagship and Natsume, and published by HAL Laboratory and Nintendo. Unlike the previous DS Kirby game, Kirby: Canvas Curse, it is controlled using the four face buttons rather than the touch screen. It has a special feature in it, like most DS Kirby Games, called bubbles. It has a main story mode and four Sub-Games, one of them is hidden at the beginning. Another feature is the Collection Room, where the player can change Kirby's color, listen to music, and view collected items.

Story

As the game tells it:

Early Afternoon in Dream Land,

It's so peaceful even the clouds are drowsy.

And now it's Kirby's Favourite time of the day - snack time.

Today's yummy snack is a sweet, fluffy slice of strawberry shortcake!

Time To Dig in!

WHOH! The cake Kirby was about to eat has suddenly vanished!

That scrumptious, berry-topped slice of Mouth-Watering goodness...

No doubt about it! This must be the work of the greedy King Dedede!

Well, there's no time to waste! Gotta Get that Cake back!

Gameplay

Kirby: Squeak Squad plays like a traditional Kirby sidescroller. Kirby can still inhale and swallow enemies to gain their abilities, but now each one upgradable by finding copy scrolls hidden throughout the game in treasure chests. The game introduces five new abilities: Animal, Ghost, Metal, which bears resemblance to the absent Stone ability, Bubble, and Triple Star. Certain abilities can also directly affect the environment, such as using the Fire ability to burn down grass or using the Ice ability to freeze bodies of water.

Copy scrolls can now be found in levels to upgrade abilities (such as being able to charge the Laser or increasing the Beam's power). Another new addition to the franchise is the Item Bubbles. These bubbles contain food, copy abilities, stars, and mini-Kirbys, all of which can be combined. Combining three mini-Kirbys will result in an extra life, combining two small food items will create a larger food item, and combining three stars will result in a larger and stronger star for Kirby to spit at enemies. Typically, combining two ability bubbles will create a random bubble. However, after obtaining the required scrolls, the Sword or Bomb ability can be mixed with Fire, Ice, or Spark to create a new ability.

There are treasure chests hidden in each level which contain things like music tracks for the Sound Player, spray paint cans to change Kirby's color, jigsaw puzzle pieces, the aforementioned copy scrolls, vitality hearts to increase Kirby's maximum health, among other things.
