Samurai Kirby is a sub-game appearing in Kirby Super Star, and later as an unlockable Nostalgic sub-game in Kirby Super Star Ultra.[1] In both versions, Samurai Kirby can be played by pressing any button.[2] Unlike the other sub-games in Kirby Super Star Ultra, Samurai Kirby retains its dated graphical style. Samurai Kirby has three levels of difficulty. This sub-game can be unlocked after completing the Meta Knightmare Ultra game.
In Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the sub-game Quick Draw had its western theme changed to a style strongly based on Samurai Kirby's.
Gameplay
Samurai Kirby shows Kirby standing against his opponent in a scene lined with bricks and a horizon level sun. The objective is to draw faster than the opponent, by pressing any button immediately after an exclamation mark signal appears.[3] "Drawing" involves pressing any button after the exclamation signal. The round will restart if Kirby draws too early. The sub-game ends when Kirby loses to an opponent. A sign at the lower-right of the screen indicates the time from the signal to the reaction. Kirby uses a different weapon against every opponent, and likewise, every opponent uses their own.
