'''Egg Catcher''' is a [[Sub-Game]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' (not in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'') and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. In the former, it can be accessed on certain levels by going through the appropriate doorways in the [[Level hub]]s, while in the latter, it can be accessed via [[Merry Magoland]] or in the [[Lor Starcutter]] (though playing it in the Lor requires 40 [[Energy Sphere]]s). The game takes place in [[King Dedede]]'s boxing ring. [[Kirby]] is standing in the ring, while Dedede ([[Scope Shot|Robo Dedede]] in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'') appears on the ropes, and begins chucking eggs and bombs at Kirby. The objective of the game is to swallow as many eggs as possible and avoid swallowing a bomb, which causes the game to end early. To play the game, the player must merely hold down A or B to keep Kirby's mouth open, and release it to close his mouth. | '''Egg Catcher''' is a [[Sub-Game]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' (not in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'') and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''.

There are three difficulty settings for this game, those being "Easy", "Medium", and "Challenging". Each difficulty features a different pattern of eggs and bombs which are thrown, with higher difficulties making it generally more difficult to avoid bombs while also getting eggs. While in ''Kirby's Adventure'', Egg Catcher was one player only, ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' features gameplay for up to four players simultaneously, with the winner being whoever caught the most eggs. | There are three difficulty settings for this game, those being "Easy", "Medium", and "Challenging".

*In the ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' version, [[Meta Knight]] and [[Bandana Waddle Dee]] use baskets to catch eggs, since they don't have usable mouths like Kirby and King Dedede. | *In the ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' version, [[Meta Knight]] and [[Bandana Waddle Dee]] use baskets to catch eggs, since they don't have usable mouths like Kirby and King Dedede. In addition, all characters but King Dedede stand on platforms to compensate for King Dedede's relatively large proportions, so as to unify the height of the characters' mouths and baskets (and by extension the location where eggs and bombs would land for each character).<ref>Nintendo DREAM June 2023 interview ([https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2024/04/18/translation-of-the-kirbys-return-to-dream-land-deluxe-interview-from-the-june-2023-edition-of-nintendo-dream/ translation])</ref> | ||
*Also in the ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' version, if any player gets a perfect score of 30 eggs, their Robo Dedede explodes and can be seen malfunctioning in the background of the results screen. The only exception to this is during a Magoland Tour. | *Also in the ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' version, if any player gets a perfect score of 30 eggs, their Robo Dedede explodes and can be seen malfunctioning in the background of the results screen.
