''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' is a two-dimensional side-scrolling platform adventure game, with physics, assets, and graphics borrowed from its predecessor, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. As such, it features most of the same enemies, moves, and [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] from the previous game. However, the premise and layout of ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' differ greatly from its predecessors and subsequent titles. The most notable change is to the world itself, which is no longer traversed in a series of levels and isolated linear stages. Instead, all nine major areas of the [[Mirror World]] are interlinked and transition into each other in a similar vein to the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' games]], allowing Kirby to pick his own path through the world for the most part. As such, a map of the world and each area can be found inside [[Treasure Chest]]s which can be used to navigate the world and observe how each individual room is connected to others around it. In the center of the world is the [[Rainbow Route - Central Circle|Central Circle]] in [[Rainbow Route]], where Kirby starts his exploration and where he returns to whenever the game is reset, he completes a [[Goal Game]], defeats a [[Boss]], or uses his [[Cell Phone]] to return. As various [[Big Switch]]es are pressed in the Mirror World, [[Mirror Door]]s link back to the central circle which allows Kirby to quickly return to areas he has already visited. | ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' is a two-dimensional side-scrolling platform adventure game, with physics, assets, and graphics borrowed from its predecessor, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.

The second main feature of ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' is the four-player co-op system. By linking up to four [[Game Boy Advance]] systems together, players can simultaneously play as each of the four Kirbys and explore the world entirely on their own terms and in completely separate directions. Using the Cell Phone will allow the Kirbys to call each-other and warp to each-others' positions, though this requires [[ | The second main feature of ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' is the four-player co-op system.

Using the Cell Phone will allow the Kirbys to call each-other and warp to each-others' positions, though this requires [[Battery]] power. While cooperation in this way is not necessary to obtain [[100% completion]], it can make a lot of the fights and puzzles easier. This multi-player extends to each of the [[Sub-Game]]s as well, which can all be played with up to four players. Any Kirbys which are not controlled by a player will instead be controlled by the [[CPU]]. | ||
