-Game modes are pretty much the bread and butter of Kirby games. Once you've gone far enough, you have a lot of options - especially in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', which have far more game modes than usual.
+''Kirby'' games have a lot of content to offer - some of it is recycled, but obviously there has to be some amount of original content. Below is a list of every common component in a game's library:
-*[[Story Mode]]: surprisingly, in spite of making the bulk of a game's content - reflected very clearly in the game's completion tracker - the story mode of a game is just there to introduce you to everything. [[Kirby]] can fly over anything he pleases in most games, or he can pay attention in class and learn how things work.
+*[[Story Mode]]: the main adventure for most players. Typically, this makes up most or all of the content in a game's completion tracker.
-*[[Sub-Game]]s: at least two per title starting in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', these are here for five-minute fun and usually don't go very far. You have three difficulties, depending on <s>your coordination</s> how spicy Kirby's feeling today. Rising difficulty means one, two, or all of the following: lower health, more complex stage design, and/or more interesting enemies. If you're a [[3DS]] title, your sub-games might get blown up and tossed onto the eShop for a few pennies.
+*[[Sub-Game]]s: at least two per title starting in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', these are here for five-minute fun and usually don't go very far.
-**[[Theater]]: just in case you want to experience the opening cutscene again... because sometimes that's the only story you're given for the next three fourths of the game.
+**[[Theater]]: A small menu containing a most of a game's cinematics.
-**[[Sound Test]] / [[Jukebox]]: For when you want to listen to [[Reproduction of Darkness]] over and over again. <small>...What do you mean, "that's not normal?"</small>
+**[[Sound Test]] / [[Jukebox]]: A repository of most or all of the game's music, and formerly the sound effects as well.
-*[[The Arena]] / [[Boss Endurance]]: Even if the [[Colosseum]] isn't called an Arena, it seems [[Shinya Kumazaki]] is directing ''Kirby'' titles towards having those rather than a single [[Boss Endurance]]. This mode is a great refresher if you want to enjoy some of the stellar boss fights again. Good warm-up, too.
+*[[The Arena]] / [[Boss Endurance]]: A gauntlet of boss battles, with varying leniencies to make the mode more or less fair.
-*[[Extra Mode]]: The extra mode is where the real game begins. Highlights of the story mode are made more interesting, and there's often a partially new plot involved. Not that you'll know what's going on if you forget to [[pause]] and read the [[Special Page]]s. In order to keep things fresh, there's usually ramped-up bosses coupled with lower health.
+*[[Extra Mode]]: The extra mode varies in exact composition from game to game, but it is essentially a way to extend playtime without having to make a whole new campaign from scratch.
-*[[The True Arena]]: The real - shall I say true? final challenge. This is where the game's toughest parts come together and challenge you one after another, barely relenting for but a moment. To top it all off, you get a secret final boss, buried deep behind all of the other enemies you've faced before. After this, there is no more to say.
