Use the buttons to move the crane and try to get a Kirby! A big one's hard to get, but worth it!

Crane Fever is a Sub-Game in Kirby's Adventure (not in Nightmare in Dream Land). It can be accessed on certain levels by going through the appropriate doorways.

The objective of the game is to grab Kirby plushes from a crane vendor. The player gets two chances to grab one by pressing and releasing the button at the right location, and if successful, will drop the plush into the slot. Smaller plushes are easy to grab, and worth a 1Up. Larger plushes are somewhat harder to grab, but are worth two 1Ups. Along with Kirby plushes, the machine also holds plushes of Noddy, Waddle Dee, and Waddle Doo, though these cannot be interacted with.

This Sub-Game has three levels of difficulty. Higher levels make the crane faster and harder to control precisely.

The music used in this game is an altered cover of the Vegetable Valley theme when the crane is not hauling a plush, and the Butter Building theme when it is.
