'''Kirby Card Swipe''' is one of the [[Sub-Game]]s that appears in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', and is available from the start of the game. Like the other Sub-Games, Kirby Card Swipe is played from the lower screen and requires the use of the stylus. It is available in both single player and multiplayer, where up to four players can participate, with only one Game Card required.


==Playing==
Kirby Card Swipe maintains a traditional Japanese theme, including the building architecture, [[wikipedia:karuta|karuta]] playing cards, and the outfits worn by [[Kirby (species)|Kirby]]s, which is identical to their [[Quick Draw]] outfits from ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.
[[File:Card Swipe2.png|left|100px|frame|A draw in play]]
The game pits four colored [[Kirby]]s (pink, yellow, red, green) in a card game. The game is a speed/reaction style card game with a slight degree of memorization involved. An array of cards (face up) will be shown on the lower screen (not all cards will be orientated correctly). The players have an unknown amount of time to study the cards and the placements. The sliding doors in the top screen will open and reveal a card similar to one of the lower screen cards.<ref>{{cite|Observe the cards on the top screen. Touch the same card on the touch screen!|Kirby Super Star Ultra|in-game instructions}}</ref> The players compete to be the first to touch the matching card.<ref>{{cite|Be the first to get 3 cards right!|Kirby Super Star Ultra|in-game instructions}}</ref>


The following rounds will vary in cards used, number of cards displayed, and flair passing the lower screen. The rounds will continue until one of the players wins 3 rounds. With four competitors the most possible is nine draws. Other than being slower than the winner, and choosing the wrong card, a player can be ''out'' for touching a card too early.
==Gameplay==
Kirby Card Swipe is a basic reaction card game also requiring a slight degree of memorization. As with the other Sub-Games, four Kirbys (pink, yellow, red, and green) compete against each other.
 
The bottom screen displays an array of faced-up cards each depicting a random Kirby character, while the top screen displays a closed sliding door and each Kirby's score. In each round, the player must quickly memorize the cards, as pink blossoms (sometimes white-and-red shurikens) float across the cards. Shortly afterward, the door opens, revealing a wooden post with an identical card to one of the bottom screen options. The player must immediately tap the matching card before one of their opponents. Whoever taps the card first wins the round and gains a point. The area in which each Kirby tapped is represented by a Japanese character in their color.
 
For each round, players only have one attempt at tapping a card: they cannot re-select their option. If a player taps on a card too early, they cannot participate for another two rounds. The first player to achieve three points wins. The Sub-Game can have up to nine rounds.
 
Based on the level difficulty, the cards display a different type of character: the first level displays enemies, the second level shows mid-bosses and the third level shows bosses. There are more cards appearing on the bottom screen based on the level's difficulty.
 
==Cards==
A handful of the cards depict characters that do not appear elsewhere in the game, sorted by debut appearance:
 
*''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' - [[Paint Roller]], [[Nightmare]]
*''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' - [[Rick]], [[Coo]], [[Kine]], [[Ice Dragon]], [[Dark Matter]]

Kirby Card Swipe is one of the Sub-Games that appears in Kirby Super Star Ultra, and is available from the start of the game. Like the other Sub-Games, Kirby Card Swipe is played from the lower screen and requires the use of the stylus. It is available in both single player and multiplayer, where up to four players can participate, with only one Game Card required.

Kirby Card Swipe maintains a traditional Japanese theme, including the building architecture, karuta playing cards, and the outfits worn by Kirbys, which is identical to their Quick Draw outfits from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.

Gameplay[edit]

Kirby Card Swipe is a basic reaction card game also requiring a slight degree of memorization. As with the other Sub-Games, four Kirbys (pink, yellow, red, and green) compete against each other.

The bottom screen displays an array of faced-up cards each depicting a random Kirby character, while the top screen displays a closed sliding door and each Kirby's score. In each round, the player must quickly memorize the cards, as pink blossoms (sometimes white-and-red shurikens) float across the cards. Shortly afterward, the door opens, revealing a wooden post with an identical card to one of the bottom screen options. The player must immediately tap the matching card before one of their opponents. Whoever taps the card first wins the round and gains a point. The area in which each Kirby tapped is represented by a Japanese character in their color.

For each round, players only have one attempt at tapping a card: they cannot re-select their option. If a player taps on a card too early, they cannot participate for another two rounds. The first player to achieve three points wins. The Sub-Game can have up to nine rounds.

Based on the level difficulty, the cards display a different type of character: the first level displays enemies, the second level shows mid-bosses and the third level shows bosses. There are more cards appearing on the bottom screen based on the level's difficulty.

A handful of the cards depict characters that do not appear elsewhere in the game, sorted by debut appearance:
