'''''Kirby Mass Attack''''' is a spin-off ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2011. | '''''Kirby Mass Attack''''' is a spin-off ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2011. It features touch-based gameplay in the style of ''[[wikipedia:Lemmings (video game)|Lemmings]]'', as the main gimmick is that the player assumes control of multiple [[Kirby]]s at once and directs them using the Nintendo DS stylus. ''Kirby Mass Attack''{{'}}s name was first revealed in the 267th issue of Nintendo Power (May 2011). The game was one of the Nintendo DS titles shown at E3 2011. ''Kirby Mass Attack'' was first released in Japan on August 4, 2011, and was released in North America a month later, then in Europe and Australia roughly a month after that. | ||

==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
The story of ''Kirby Mass Attack'' begins when Kirby goes exploring around an archipelago called the [[Popopo Islands]] in the south of Popstar. While he takes a nap in a field, an evil sorcerer, [[Necrodeus]], casts a spell that splits Kirby into ten smaller and weaker versions of himself. While Kirby is in this weakened state, Necrodeus manages to destroy all Kirbys except for one. The final remaining Kirby is saved by his own heroic heart which Necrodeus had separated from the original Kirby's body. The heroic heart takes the form of a star throughout the game. The last remaining Kirby, now with only a tenth of his normal power, joins the heroic heart on a quest to defeat Necrodeus and restore Kirby to his normal, undivided self. [[File:KMA Kirby using Rainbow Medals.png|thumb|left|260px|Kirby using [[Rainbow Medal]]s to shine a beam of light through [[Necro Nebula]].]] Necrodeus' motive behind invading Popstar is simply that he wishes to drown the universe in darkness, and Popstar is allegedly the brightest star in space. | |||
The | |||
[[File:KMA Kirby using Rainbow Medals.png|thumb|left|260px|Kirby using [[Rainbow Medal]]s to shine a beam of light through [[Necro Nebula]].]] | |||
Soon after Necrodeus' attack on Kirby, [[Daroach]] and the [[Squeaks]] approach Kirby in their airship and enlist his help in collecting [[Medals]] found in stages all around the Popopo Islands. These Medals are said to provide access to Necrodeus' realm, [[Necro Nebula]]. Daroach gives Kirby the task of collecting every [[Rainbow Medal]], a special type of Medal which is less prevalent than normal ones. Kirby uses the Rainbow Medals to shine a beam of light through the dark clouds surrounding Necro Nebula, clearing the clouds and allowing him to access the area. When Kirby finds the scepter needed to undo Necrodeus' curse and become whole again, Necrodeus appears and swallows it. Kirby battles Necrodeus and wins, saving Popstar and becoming one singular entity again. Triumphant, Kirby returns back home on a passing Warp Star. | |||

[[File: | [[File:Mass Attack Kirbys.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The player can flick the Kirbys to make them jump.]] | ||
' | Due to being split into ten by the game's villain, Kirby has again lost the ability to inhale or float, as he had in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]''. Instead, the player can use the DS stylus to control up to ten Kirbys at once to use their combined strength to gang up on foes, solve puzzles, and fight bosses. Tapping a target will make Kirbys interact with it, quickly sliding the stylus towards a target will toss one Kirby at it, and touching and holding will make all Kirbys try to latch onto the Hero's heart and use it to fly around. the player can add more Kirbys to the group by making the existing one(s) eat fruit to fill up a gauge on the top screen. If a Kirby takes damage, that Kirby will usually turn blue, although some sources of damage have different effects. If the mini-Kirby takes more damage, he will turn into an angel and leave the group. He can, however, be revived and restored to his blue state by making a non-angel Kirby catch him before he floats away. There are some instances, however, where a Kirby can be lost immediately, such as if a [[Skully]] gets away with one. | ||
The game, like several other Kirby games, is a side-scroller. The object of each level is to get to the end while collecting the hidden [[medal]]s and filling the [[Checklist (Kirby Mass Attack)|Checklist]]. Although many levels appear optional, they each contain one Rainbow Medal. All Rainbow Medals are required to access the final world. Both types of medals are used to unlock extras. | |||

At the end of each stage, the player is graded based on how well the Kirbys were handled. The rankings are as follows: | |||
