The game is a puzzle game in the basic style of ''[[wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]''. Domino-like groups of two connected blocks, which can be controlled with the directional pad and turned with the A and B buttons, fall from the top of the playing field one by one, eventually landing at the bottom of the field or on top of other blocks. Once the blocks have landed, the domino breaks up, and each block is individually affected by gravity. Six types of blocks exist in the game: three Friend Blocks are based on the [[Animal Friend]]s from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' ([[Rick]] the Hamster, [[Kine]] the Sunfish and [[Coo]] the Owl), | The game is a puzzle game in the basic style of ''[[wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]]''.

Six types of blocks exist in the game: three Friend Blocks are based on the [[Animal Friend]]s from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' ([[Rick]] the Hamster, [[Kine]] the Sunfish and [[Coo]] the Owl), Star Blocks, Bomb Blocks, and Hard Blocks. The goal is to score stars by placing one or more Star Blocks between two matching Friend Blocks, which will then cause both the Friend and Star Blocks to disappear, adding to the score total on the right-hand side. Hard Blocks and Bomb Blocks can likewise be sandwiched between Friends, the former transforming into Star Blocks, and the latter destroying the row of blocks they are on when this is done. | ||
In order to achieve greater numbers of star points, Chains have to be utilized; if destroying a group of blocks leads to a chain reaction of other groups being destroyed, this counts as a Chain. Every Chain that is achieved causes a group of stars to fall into gaps between blocks and be added to the star point counter, their number starting at two but increasing with each Chain, up to a maximum of twelve. If these stars end up sandwiched between Friend Blocks when they land, they turn into Star Blocks, causing another group of blocks to be destroyed and the combo to continue; stars that land in positions where it would not be beneficial for them to transform into blocks simply disappear. | In order to achieve greater numbers of star points, Chains have to be utilized; if destroying a group of blocks leads to a chain reaction of other groups being destroyed, this counts as a Chain.
