Characters

The following characters can be played in Story Mode stages. Beating each stage with each character is necessary for 100% Completion:

  • Kirby - Starts with 4 Vitality. Has decent speed and can copy abilities. Can augment vitality using Medal Swap.
  • Waddle Dee - Unlocked once the game is completed as Kirby. Has 4 vitality and otherwise is the same as Kirby, but cannot copy abilities.
  • King Dedede - Unlockable at Medal Swap after game is completed as Kirby. Uses a hammer while dashing, and has 8 vitality, but is larger (and thus less nimble) than other characters.
  • Meta Knight - Unlockable at Medal Swap after game is completed as Kirby. Fastest character, but only 3 vitality. Nearby enemies are struck with a sword slash.
  • Waddle Doo - Unlocked once all other characters have finished each stage. Has a slow dash, but 5 vitality and permanent Beam ability.

Bosses

At the end of each level, (except Wonder Lilane) Kirby faces off against a boss of his choosing. There are three initial bosses, and Kirby will have to face each one twice (with the second time being tougher). From there, Wonder Lilane technically has no boss, but Drawcia is revealed (along with her level) after completing it. The bosses faced are as follows:

Extras

Rainbow Run

Main article: Rainbow Run

Rainbow Run is a mode in which Kirby tries to set a record for the time in going through a course or for the amount of line he uses to complete it. It uses levels 1 through seven and replaces level 8 with other courses where Kirby can only use a selected ability.

File:Boss game dedede.png
In the subgame Cart Run, Kirby must race to defeat King Dedede.

Subgames

This game also has three subgames. The subgames are only unlocked after beating the second level of each in the Boss Fights of the Main Game.[1] The subgames are similar to the actual boss fights. Game Overs will occur if Kirby either runs out of time or health[2] In each game, there are three levels, with level 1 being the easiest and level 3 being the hardest. New Medals are only unlocked after achieving an A rank in Level 3.

  • In Cart Run, Kirby is racing King Dedede in a mine car vehicle.
  • In Paint Panic, he is trying to avoid a couple of bombers while connecting the dots drawn by Paint Roller in the same order he drew them in.
  • In Block Attack, Kirby is trying to destroy blocks and beat all the enemies in a certain section and go to a higher section.

Medal Swap

Main article: Medal Swap

This game also has a medal swap section, where Kirby can exchange the medals he earned in the game for lines, new levels in Rainbow Run, new songs, and even new players.

Trivia

  • Several bosses from previous Kirby games were intended to be playable characters in early development of Canvas Curse, including Lololo & Lalala, Nightmare, Dark Matter and Zero. Concept art of these bosses as balls can be found in 20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia (page 125), but they were cancelled in the final game.
  • Kirby: Canvas Curse is the first video game in the Kirby series that introduced the Soul Boss (Drawcia Soul being the first one). The main series would later introduce even more Soul Bosses.
  • In Kirby Battle Royale, one of Whip Kirby's Headgears is Gymnastics Leotard. This could be a reference to the Japanese commercial for Kirby: Canvas Curse, which features a female gymnastics athlete guiding the Kirby ball's movement with her ribbon.
