''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' looks and plays much like its predecessor ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', but features an expansive and non-linear interconnected world with bosses that can be defeated in a number of different orders. The game also features four [[Kirby]]s [[Color changes|of various col{{o}}r]] which can be played by up to four different players simultaneously, making this title the first main series game which can be played with four players in the main game. The different Kirbys can wander off in separate directions and assist each-other using their [[Cell Phone]]s.

As it is based on ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' uses much of the same [[sprite]]-work, enemies, [[Copy Ability|abilities]], and mechanics as its predecessor. However, many additions and a few cuts were made to these categories. Included in the additions are new enemies like [[Chip]], [[Roly-Poly]], [[Golem]], and others, some of which are quite complex in their ability to interact with Kirby. New abilities include [[Cupid]], [[Missile]], [[Mini]], and a few returning fav{{o}}rites from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' such as [[Fighter]] and [[Cook]]. Due to the open nature of the game, most of the area [[Boss]]es can be fought out of order, and aside from [[Kracko]], they are all new (although some are heavily based on older bosses).

Additionally, [[Dark Mind]]'s first form resembles the second form of [[Nightmare]], the main villain of ''Kirby Adventure'', both in appearance and fighting style, whereas his third form is fought similarly to Nightmare's first form.
