'''''Kirby Mass Attack''''' is a spin-off ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2011. The central premise revolves around using the Nintendo DS stylus to direct and guide up to ten otherwise small and helpless mini-[[Kirby]]s, who were split from the original by the game's villain [[Necrodeus]] in order to make the pink puffball easier to defeat. Instead of controlling the Kirbys directly, the player has to use the stylus to flick them around, tell them where to run, and drag them over obstacles when needed. A lot of micromanagement is needed to keep the Kirbys from perishing as they make their way through the stages, and if any are lost, the Kirbys will need to collect fruit in order to create new ones, with the player losing if all the Kirbys are defeated. The objective is to lead them through the stages until encountering and defeating Necrodeus at the very end, so that Kirby may become his whole self again. | '''''Kirby Mass Attack''''' is a spin-off ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2011.

''Kirby Mass Attack'' also features a very detailed hint system, which comes in the form of [[Daroach]] and his [[Daroach's Airship|airship]]. Daroach's main motive for helping the Kirbys is so they can collect the various [[medal]]s hidden throughout the game for him. | ||

''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. It would be the last ''Kirby'' game to release for the Nintendo DS, and the last one to feature primarily [[sprite]]-based graphics. ''Kirby Mass Attack'' would go on to sell roughly 1.06 million copies, making it the lowest in the list of ''Kirby'' games that have sold at least a million units.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2012/120427e.pdf#page=7 Nintendo's list of games that sold over a million units, published in 2012]</ref> | ||

''Kirby Mass Attack'' is - like the main ''Kirby'' series games - a side-scrolling | ''Kirby Mass Attack'' is - like the main ''Kirby'' series games - a side-scrolling 2-D platformer that tasks Kirby to reach the end of stages filled with various enemies, obstacles, and occasionally boss fights. However, much like ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' before it, the core gameplay is very different from that of the main series. Due to having been split into ten weaker copies, the Kirbys are no longer able to [[hover]], [[inhale]], or use [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]]. Instead, their main means of attack is by latching onto enemies and pummeling them, or by being tossed at enemies and hazards to impact them, in a very similar manner to how [[pikipedia:Pikmin family|Pikmin]] fight. In another similarity to the ''Pikmin'' games, the player does not control the Kirbys directly, but instead plays the role of a leader in the form of [[Kirby's heroic heart]], which is a star-shaped object that acts as a cursor. This heart is controlled by means of the Nintendo DS stylus, and tapping places on the screen tells the Kirbys where to go. Other key actions include tapping and holding down to drag the Kirbys along a magical line to get them around hazards, or tapping and quickly flicking a Kirby to throw him in the direction indicated. | ||
In another departure from the main ''Kirby'' series, ''Kirby Mass Attack'' does not have a traditional [[stamina|health meter]] for the Kirbys, but instead gives each one two hit points, and shows their state of health by their body | In another departure from the main ''Kirby'' series, ''Kirby Mass Attack'' does not have a traditional [[stamina|health meter]] for the Kirbys, but instead gives each one two hit points, and shows their state of health by their body col{{o}}r: Healthy Kirbys are pink, wounded Kirbys are blue, and KO'd Kirbys are gray. Wounded Kirbys can be restored to full health by tossing them through a Recovery Ring, which can be found at various points in stages. KO'd Kirbys will slowly flutter away on angel's wings and can be saved and returned to blue status if they are captured by a living Kirby before they are gone. However, some hazards such as [[Skully]]s and [[Gruegloom]]s may destroy Kirbys they manage to catch without any chance of rescue, while other hazards such as [[crusher]]s will KO Kirbys regardless of their health status. In the case that any Kirbys are lost, the player can replenish their numbers by having the remaining one(s) collect [[Fruit]]. Collecting 100 points worth of fruit will automatically add a new Kirby to the team, or give a score bonus if there are already ten. If all 10 Kirbys are lost during a stage, a [[Game Over]] occurs, and the stage has to be replayed from the beginning (there is no [[1-Up|extra life system]] in ''Kirby Mass Attack''). | ||
The main story mode of ''Kirby Mass Attack'' takes the Kirbys through over 40 extensive stages, each of which has a wide array of unique enemies, devices, hazards, and other gimmicks (many of which are unique to this game). As the Kirbys progress through each stage, their main objective is to collect the [[medal]]s hidden throughout. One medal in each stage is designated as a Rainbow Medal, and collecting all of these is required to access the final level of [[Necro Nebula]] and complete the game. Collecting medals is also how the player unlocks extra game features, including the [[Sub-Game]]s, [[Survival Rush|boss rush mode]], and other menu options like the [[Theater]]. | The main story mode of ''Kirby Mass Attack'' takes the Kirbys through over 40 extensive stages, each of which has a wide array of unique enemies, devices, hazards, and other gimmicks (many of which are unique to this game).
