Super Kirby Clash: Difference between revisions

'''''Super Kirby Clash''''' is a free-to-start spin-off game in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on September 4th, 2019 worldwide. It can be considered to be a sequel to ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', which was itself an expanded version of the ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' [[Sub-Game]] [[Team Kirby Clash]]. ''Super Kirby Clash'' is exclusively downloadable from the [[Nintendo]] eShop and as such, no physical copy of the game exists.

*'''[[Beam Mage]]''' A supporting role based on [[Beam]]. Has the power to stop time if he hits the enemy enough with the right move.

*'''[[Doctor Healmore]]''' A supporting role based on [[Doctor]]. Has the power to heal his allies and himself.

*'''[[Hammer Lord]]''' A powerhouse role based on [[Hammer]]. Very slow on his feet, but can dish out huge damage.

*'''[[Sword Hero]]''' A front-line role based on [[Sword]]. Can protect his friends with a bubble shield.

All four roles are capable of using a [[Revival Spell]] on their fallen teammates in battle given enough time to do so, but Doctor Healmore is the most effective. Each role has distinct base stats which increase as the team increases in level. For more detailed information on the numbers, check the respective role pages.

''Super Kirby Clash'' features local and [[Online features|online multiplayer]], being the second in the whole ''Kirby'' series (after ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'') to feature full online support. Battles are separated into Story Quests and Party Quests, with an online multiplayer occupying the latter category. The player can choose to either host or join a lobby where a specific enemy encounter has been chosen. From there, they have the opportunity to equip their Kirby (and any CPUs under the player's jurisdiction) and communicate with other players using stickers before confirming everyone's ready to start. Regardless of whether everyone is ready or not, a game will begin 90 seconds after the lobby has been created. From there, they enter the battle and must work together to overcome the foe.

During fights, players can continue to communicate with each-other using stickers. Much like other online games, latency can be an issue between players, causing the game to slow down or delay inputs to varying extents. If any player disconnects during a battle, the battle ends automatically with no reward gained. As soon as the enemy is defeated, players are disconnected from each other, so no post-battle communication is possible (though Stickers can still be vainly used in the brief window during the enemy's defeat animation). If the team is defeated during a fight or time runs out, each player is given the opportunity to use their own Gem Apples to continue the battle or not. [[Heroic Mission (Super Kirby Clash)|Heroic Missions]] are tracked separately for Party Quests, and it is still possible for the player to play these alone if they wish.

One thing to note is that once players enter a lobby, they may not leave early unless the game is closed, nor may players leave through any in-game method while a battle is happening.

===[[amiibo]] functionality===

Like its predecessor, Kirby can ring an Adventurer's Bell in the village to call Kirby representatives from other players' games to assist him in battle as [[CPU]]s. When the bell is rung, Team Kirby also gains some material bonuses in the form of fragments and gem apples. The bell can only be rung once every 24 hours unless Gem Apples are consumed to speed up the process.
