Kirby Super Star Ultra is a main-series Kirby game for the Nintendo DS. It is a remake of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]] with updated graphics and new features. It was released in late 2008, but did not see a release in Europe until a year later, in 2009. It was developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo.

Kirby Super Star Ultra features all of the content from the original game, including the original six main game modes and the original three Sub-Games. From here, the remake adds a new main game, six sub-games, new multiplayer features, and replaces many of the original cut-scenes with pre-rendered ones in 3D FMV. The game also features updated visuals, updated descriptions and dialogue, and new enemies, Mid-Bosses and Bosses encountered mainly in the new game modes. Many other changes, particularly to the user interface, were made to accommodate the hardware of the Nintendo DS, and many areas of the game support the use of the DS stylus.

Gameplay

File:Spring Breeze KSSU gameplay.png
Gameplay of the first main game, Spring Breeze. Every other main game shares the updated graphical style.

Kirby Super Star Ultra is a side-scrolling two dimensional platforming game. The difficulty varies with the stage selected, helper used, and level of completion targeted. Kirby begins each stage from a starting point, and his goal is to reach the exit of the stage. Occasionally, stages are ended with a Boss battle, and few stages are time limited. Other gameplay elements include Kirby's health meter, obstacles along the way (enemies and environmental), unlockable bonus content, and health replenishing or power-up foods such as the Maxim Tomato.

Initially, only the Spring Breeze main game is available on the corkboard, but as the unknown reader progresses through the game, the player's can unlock more games to play, including eventually the original sub-games from Kirby Super Star. Each main game's setting and structure is unique to itself, are generally short and feature their own plot.

Kirby Super Star Ultra has support for multiplayer, both with its main games and the newly implemented sub-games. The other players are not required to have a Game Pak inserted, so long as they join via DS Download Play. There is a 2-Player Adventure mode where the unknown reader and a friend can cooperatively play in one of the main games, which includes racing each other in Gourmet Race. There are two other Multiplayer options: Group Sub-Games and 2-P Spring Breeze. The former mode allows for 2-4 players to compete in one of the three newly-added Sub-Games. In the latter mode, which is similar to 2-P Adventure, two players cooperate in Spring Breeze, except that the second player can only look at the first player's DS screen.

The cutscenes and intro/outro reels are pre-rendered via the Actimagine Video Codec. Once the cutscene is viewed, it can be rewatched from the Theater option.

Main games

Kirby Super Star Ultra contains seven main game modes, each completely separate from each-other and acting as if they were entirely separate games, but all sharing the same fundamental gameplay and assets, as well as being connected plot-wise in most cases. These games are unlocked one-after-the-other as previous ones are completed:

Sub-Games

These are smaller games with fundamentally different gameplay to that of the main game modes, which are not in any way related to them:
Bold games are exclusive to Kirby Super Star Ultra.

  • Kirby Card Swipe: A brand new sub-game that is similar to Samurai Kirby. Multiple cards with pictures of enemies on them appear on the bottom screen, and one of them appears on the top screen. The card that matches the card on the top must be tapped to win, and this must be completed three times. This mode is available in multiplayer with only one game card.
  • Kirby on the Draw: This simple western-styled game makes Kirby shoot targets that have pictures of his enemies. This mode is available in multiplayer with only one game card.
  • Snack Tracks: In this sub-game, Kirby is on a conveyor belt covered in food, bugs, bombs and rocks. the unknown reader should tap obstacles, but not food. This mode is available in multiplayer with only one game card.
  • Samurai Kirby: An unlockable nostalgic sub-game that was directly ported from the original. Ninja Kirby faces off against an enemy and the unknown reader must press a button whenever a "!" appears on-screen. If the enemy attacks before a button is pressed, Kirby is defeated. The enemies are always fought in order from: Waddle Doo, Wheelie, Chef Kawasaki, King Dedede, and Meta Knight.
  • Megaton Punch: Another unlockable nostalgic sub-game that Kirby against one of three enemies: Waddle Dee, Knuckle Joe, and Iron Mam, in a competition to strike blocks the hardest.

Extra Game Modes

These are additional games which have the same gameplay style as the main game modes, but are not canon to the main games, instead acting either as alternate 'what-if' scenarios, or simply as boss endurance modes:

  • The Arena: In this mode, Kirby must fight off 19 Bosses with only 5 Maxim Tomatoes and 5 normal tomatoes to restore his health in-between battles. Kirby may fight these bosses with the assistance of one helper. Unlocked when Milky Way Wishes is completed.
  • Meta Knightmare Ultra: Spring Breeze, Dyna Blade, The Great Cave Offensive, Revenge of Meta Knight, and Milky Way Wishes revisited as Meta Knight instead of Kirby. Unlocked when Revenge of the King is completed.
  • Helper to Hero: Similar to the Arena, a helper (or two) battles bosses. Unlocked when Revenge of the King and Meta Knightmare Ultra are completed.
  • The True Arena: Similar to the Arena, but instead battles 10 harder bosses, and only five normal tomatoes. Unlocked when the Arena, Helper to Hero, Revenge of the King, and Meta Knightmare Ultra are completed.

Abilities

Kirby's Copy Abilities appear again in this game, with instructions on how to use them on the pause menu. They also have a brief description of the ability.

Name Appearance Helper In-game description Notes
Normal File:Kirby KSSU sprite.png None Inhale foes and spit to KO them! Or swallow to copy their abilities and adventure with a Helper! Pink Kirby is Player 1 and in multiplayer, Player 2 controls a Yellow Kirby.
Beam File:BeamSSU.png Waddle Doo Flail this beam like a whip. It has many useful attacks. Try to store up a super shot!
Bomb File:BombSSU.png Poppy Bros. Jr. Grab a bomb and hold the button to set the throw angle. Toss it and it'll go Ka-BOOM!
Cook File:CookingPunk Ultra.png None (1-use only) What's on today's menu? Put all your foes in the pot and stew them to perfection! This one-use ability turns all normal enemies on-screen into food. The only drawback is that it is powerless against mid-bosses or bosses.
Copy File:CopySSU.png Tac Use a strange light to analyze and then copy foes' abilities. Might you learn weird ones? Since Kirby can inhale most enemies and copy them, this ability is useless unless used in Milky Way Wishes or when copying Scarfy.
Crash File:CrashSSU.png None (1-use only) KO all foes with a big BOOM! But be careful. This ultimate weapon has only 1 charge. This ability comes only from Bomber, unless Kirby has the Copy Ability when a Scarfy is nearby.
Cutter File:CuttingPunk Ultra.png Sir Kibble Throw a boomerang all over! Slash! Jab! Strike! You can even cut ropes!
Fighter File:FighterSSU.png Knuckle Joe Hi-yaa! Hold the B Button longer for a stronger blow! That punch is an instant KO! Fighter Kirby appears in the opening sequence of the Arena.
Fire File:FireSSU.png Burning Leo Burn bright with fire power! Light the fuse! Yow! Hot! You're on fire, man! Yoww! Fire Kirby can light the fuses of cannons, a trait it shares with Jet and Hammer.
Hammer File:HammerSSU.png Bonkers This Hammer packs a wallop! Punish stakes and blocks! When it's on fire, foes beware! Hammer Kirby can light the fuses of cannons when his mallet is on fire, and can also pound stakes into the ground like Stone Kirby. The hammer can be used underwater. Hammer Kirby appears in the intro of The True Arena.
Ice File:IceSSU.png Chilly Freeze foes with icy breath! Kick ice cubes into others! When you dash you skate! This ability allows Kirby to freeze enemies in an ice cube and then kick the ice cube, potentially hitting other enemies with it.
Jet File:JettingPunk Ultra.png Capsule J2 Strap jet power to your back! Hold the B Button to charge, then let go to hit Mach 5! Like plasma, charging this ability up makes it more powerful, although Jet is charged with the B button instead of the D-pad. It can be used to light fuses.
Mike File:MicSSU.png None (3-use only) Owowow! Ooh, yeah-ah! Yabba jabba yeah yeah yeah! Sing 3 times to silence all... Acts similar to crash, but can be used three times, each time more powerful than the last.
Mirror File:MirrorSSU.png Simirror This mirror has odd powers! Deflect projectiles or project doubles of yourself! When Mirror Kirby guards, projectiles bounce off him and back at his enemy.
Ninja File:PurpleNinja Ultra.png Bio Spark Hide in shadows and darkness. Use ninja skills on your mission. You're a ninja! A NINJA! Cool... Ninja Kirby can cut ropes.
Paint File:PaintSSU.png None (1 use only) Now's your chance to use it! A special onetime Copy Ability! Paint the town all of 7 colors! This rare ability can be found only in the boss battles of Chameleo Arm, Heavy Lobster, and Marx Soul, and has different effects depending on what boss it's used on.
Parasol File:ParasolingPunk Ultra.png Parasol Waddle Dee Guard against falling objects! Twirl to attack or just drift. Or do a parasol throw! Parasol can be used underwater, and it also guards attacks.
Plasma File:PlasmaSSU.png Plasma Wisp Tap the +Control Pad to make and store an electric charge! Plasma shots go through walls. Plasma shots need to be charged up, like the Jet ability.
Sleep File:SleepingPunk Ultra.png None (1 use only) Just a li'l while longer... ...Please. Let me sleep... A useless ability that leaves Kirby asleep for a small amount of time and open to attack.
Stone File:RockyBrownie Ultra.png Rocky Pound! Pound! CRUSH! Change into many heavy forms. When on a slope, you'll sliiiiide. If the unknown reader presses the B button, Kirby can turn into a stone, leaving him invincible. He can turn back to normal with another tap of B.
Suplex File:SuplexSSU.png Bugzzy This burns with fighting spirit! Grab foes and throw 'em! Learn all 8 throws to be a champ! To attack, Kirby has to grab an enemy and toss it into another, or kick one from above.
Sword File:SwordkSSU.png Blade Knight You wield the king of blades! At full health, you shoot beams! Show your sword mastery! Sword Kirby can cut ropes and use his sword underwater.
Wheelie Rider File:RidingPunk Ultra.png Wheelie Hop on your bike, Wheelie Rider! Go for a drive with a friend. Use teamwork to roll ahead! This ability is unique, as it requires Kirby to jump on a helper Wheelie. The two can roll around together, and after he dismounts, Kirby keeps his ability he had when he got on Wheelie.
Wheel File:WheelingPunk Ultra.png Wheelie Roll to be nearly invincible or ride a Wheel Helper! Beware thorns and holes. Wheel Kirby transforms completely into a Wheel, like Stone Kirby transforms into a stone.

Yo-Yo File:YoyoSSU.png Gim This isn't any yo-yo! Swing up and down, or break-spin! Try 'em all to look cool!

Jukid File:JukidSSU.png Suplex 130 A martial artist who, like Bugzzy, tries to grab and throw Kirby, which is why he gives out the Suplex ability. Jukid also attacks by shoots blasts of energy which, strangely, can be swallowed and shot back at Jukid. 3No 3No 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 3No
Kracko Jr. File:KrackojrSSU.png None 128 It is debatable whether this weak form of Kracko is a boss or mid-boss, since he is fought in the Arena by himself but there is no other mid-bosses in the level he appears in, Bubbly Clouds. Kracko Jr. attacks mainly just by moving around the screen, trying to collide with Kirby. He also can make Waddle Doos or bombs, a trait that the elder Kracko lacks. 1Yes 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No
Kracko Jr.'s Revenge File:KrackojrrevengeSSU.png None Unknown A darker, creepier Kracko Jr. with a red eye and brownish clouds. His attacks are more powerful than normal Kracko Jr. 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 1Yes

File:MaceSSU.png
File:TridentSSU.png
None Varies Four knights with various weapons- Ax Knight, Javelin Knight, Mace Knight, and Trident Knight. Kirby needs to defeat each one separately to defeat the mid-boss. They each can be inhaled like normal enemies (but it takes longer to inhale them), and they even appear as normal enemies sometimes. 3No 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 3No
Meta-KnightsAx Knight File:AxSSU.png None 64 One of the Meta-Knights that looks like a skull with a viking helmet. Axe Knight chops at Kirby if he is nearby, or throws his axe like a boomerang. Surprisingly, he doesn't give Kirby the cutter ability. 3No 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 3No
Meta-KnightsJavelin Knight File:JavelinSSU.png None 46 An octopus-like robot that flies around and shoots lasers at Kirby. He doesn't give Kirby the beam ability as one might expect. 3No 3No 3No 1Yes 1Yes 3No
Meta-KnightsMace Knight File:MaceSSU.png None 84 Another Meta-knight. Swings a mace around while walking or stands in place and throws his mace at Kirby. 3No 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 3No
Meta-KnightsTrident Knight File:TridentSSU.png None 64 A jet pack-wearing Meta-knight who throws an infinite amount of tridents at Kirby. 3No 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 1Yes 3No

Bandana Waddle Dee File:MidbossdeeSSU.png None 245 A mid-boss that appeared in the Arena in Kirby Super Star and also appears in Revenge of the King. In the original, he is a normal Waddle Dee that walks in place and doesn't actually move. In Super Star Ultra, he now sports a blue bandana and walks around. Kirby can inhale him to quickly defeat him. This is suggested since he has a huge amount of HP. Bandana Waddle Dee appears in the audience during Masked Dedede's battle He is also the only character that King Dedede converses with, much like how Meta Knight talks with his crew in Revenge of Meta Knight. 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 1Yes

Galacta Knight File:GalactaknightSSU.png None This legendary warrior attacks in a similar manner to Meta Knight, creating tornadoes, beams, and more with the power of his lance and shield.

Kracko's Revenge File:KrackorevengeSSU.png Beam A stronger (and more intimidating) version of Kracko.

Lololo & Lalala File:LolaSSU.png None The pink-and-blue duo from the Eggerland series returns as a boss.

Main Cannon #2 File:Maincannon2SSU.png Bomb A large cannon which can be found on the Halberd. It has three parts- a large cannon that aims and fires cannonballs, a robotic arm that can drop bombs or grab Kirby, and a laser gun near the bottom that can cover the whole floor with a dangerous beam of light. The robotic arm can be temporarily destroyed, the laser gun takes a while, but can be destroyed, and the only one that has actual health is the cannon itself. Helpers often attack the laser gun, which makes the battle easier once destroyed but doesn't get you closer to beating the boss. 3No 3No 3No 1Yes 3No 1Yes 3No 3No 3No
Marx File:MarxSSU.png Cutter, Ice The demon Marx is the final boss of the original, but now Marx Soul is fought at the end of the game.

Marx Soul File:MarxsoulSSU.png Cutter, Ice, Paint The final boss who appears only in the True Arena. He is Marx's soul after absorbing the power of the Galactic NOVA. He has a much creeper demeanor, especially his laugh, and his attacks are even more strange, such as splitting into two large blobs of paint that move across the screen. Marx Soul provides the paint ability, although it has no special effect on him other than making him lose some health. After defeating him, he let's out a bloodcurdling screech. 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 1Yes
Masked Dedede File:MaskeddededeSSU.png Hammer King Dedede wearing a mask and using his "new Dedede Hammer", which is mechanical.

He provides Kirby with a hammer of his own at the start of the fight. 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 3No 1Yes 3No 1Yes
Meta Knight File:MetaknightSSU.png Sword In the beginning of battle, Meta Knight sits on a platform with his cape over his face. After Kirby grabs the sword given to him, or takes too long to do so, Meta Knight jumps down and starts attacking with various sword and tornado attacks. After his defeat, his mask breaks and he escapes from the room. In Revenge of Meta Knight, he chases Kirby off of the Halberd. In Meta Knightmare Ultra, Meta Knight is a movable protagonist, and plays similar to a combination of Sword Kirby and Wing Kirby. 3No 3No 3No 1Yes 3No 1Yes 3No 1Yes 3No
Reactor File:Reactor.png None The main reactor of the Halberd that is nearly invincible. The only thing that can hurt it is to make one of its lasers reflect back its main crystal, as Sailor Waddle Dee mentions before the fight.

Like Main Cannon #2's laser gun, this cannon can be destroyed, but it doesn't hurt the reactor. 3No 3No 3No 1Yes 3No 1Yes 3No 3No 3No

Wham Bam Rock File:WhambamrockSSU.png Stone Wham Bam Rock's appearance changed drastically from Kirby Super Star. He still has pounding, slapping, and grabbing attacks, but looks more like a rock and less cartoon-like. 3No 3No 1Yes 3No 1Yes 1Yes 3No 3No 3No
