“ | Is this your first time playing? | ” | — prompt from Kirby Super Star when starting a new game in Spring Breeze |
The Beginner's Room (also referred to as The Beginner's Show) is a tutorial system built into Kirby Super Star and Template:KSSU. When starting a new game in any of the original main game-modes (except Revenge of Meta Knight in both versions and Dyna Blade in Ultra), the unknown reader will be prompted with the option of watching the Beginner's Show or skipping it. These shows, as implied by the title, are designed to cater to first-time players for the game, and the show for Spring Breeze in particular caters to new video game players in general.
Basics
The Beginner's Room is (usually) set on a basic stage with an audience of Kirby lookalikes in the crowd, and a background wall which resembles a jigsaw puzzle. Most beginner's shows are set here, with the same musical theme, but with various images and/or objects that can appear on-stage. Each show is also narrated by an off-screen narrator who speaks directly to the unknown reader, introducing characters and explaining mechanics.
At any point during a Beginner's Show, the unknown reader can press the Start button to skip it.
Spring Breeze
The show for Spring Breeze differs greatly between versions.
Kirby Super Star
In Kirby Super Star, the Spring Breeze show is the most basic of all, explaining how to use the controller and introducing the unknown reader to Kirby. It then explains the basics of how to control Kirby and what the objective is. During the show, at various points, the unknown reader is given the opportunity to try out the moves being explained. Through the show, the unknown reader is taught how to move left and right, how to enter doors, how to jump, how to hover, how to inhale, and how to spit star bullets.
Notably, this show does not describe other basic moves, such as sliding, using the air bullet, swimming, dashing, guarding, or using copy abilities. Many of these demonstrations are reserved for the Dyna Blade show instead.
Kirby Super Star Ultra
The Beginner's Show in Template:KSSU is much more concise than the original version. Instead of handing control over to the unknown reader, it plays a quick video where it explains as many of the basic controls as possible. In order, it explains how Kirby jumps, hovers, inhales, spits, swallows, and uses Copy Abilities. It then explains how to call a helper, what helpers can do, and how to dismiss them using the Normal Beam. Lastly, it explains how to dash, slide, guard, and enter doorways.
When starting a new game, the unknown reader has the option of starting the show from the beginning, or starting it from when it begins talking about Helpers.
