A Medal is a symbol meant to signify the unknown reader's performance in a given stage in some Kirby titles. Getting Gold Medals in each stage in these titles is typically a requirement for 100% Completion.

Medals are also collectible items in Kirby: Canvas Curse and Kirby Mass Attack. They are used primarily to obtain bonus material.

Kirby: Canvas Curse

Main article: Medal Swap

Medals can be found in each stage of Kirby: Canvas Curse, in various locations. They are used in the Medal Swap to obtain bonus content.

Medals are also earned by playing Rainbow Run, playing the Sub-Games, completing the game as other characters, and playing Jump Game.

There are 250 Medals in total. Collecting them all will signal 100% Completion.

Kirby's Epic Yarn/Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn

Each stage awards a medal from bronze to gold based on how many Beads were collected. The amount needed varies per stage.

Kirby Mass Attack

Rainbow Medal.png Medals can be found in each non-Boss stage, usually hidden in hard-to-access areas or locked away. One medal in each stage is a Rainbow Medal, which is needed to access the final world - Necro Nebula. There are a total of 186 medals, including one in the credits. Getting gold medals is necessary to unlock bonus material such as Sub-Games and the Sound Test.

The following are items which can be unlocked by collecting Medals:

For information on each medal's location, visit the stage pages for each level; Green Grounds, Sandy Canyon, Dedede Resort, and Volcano Valley (there are no medals in Necro Nebula).

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Each stage awards a medal from Bronze to Gold based on how many Point Stars were collected. The amount needed is different for each stage.

Kirby: Battle Royale

This title rewards medals to the unknown reader whenever a specific objective is met. When a medal is earned, the unknown reader is also given Battle Coins, which can be used to unlock material such as Headgear. The game keeps track of the medals which the unknown reader has earned in a separate menu, similar to the Checklist from earlier titles. There are 60 in total, and earning all of them is necessary for 100% Completion of the game. As it stands, an online connection is not required to obtain every medal, but playing online matches allows for faster accumulation of Battle Coins than offline Battle Modes (assuming a decent connection, regular players to play with, and decent performance in the games).

Medals are not awarded to the unknown reader until returning to the Main Menu.
