It typically has rules and gameplay completely different to the larger game it features in, and completing the Sub-Game typically is not required to complete the main game, but may offer bonuses like score or [[1-Up]]s, or contribute to [[100% completion]]. They may be accessed as bonus content within the main game itself, or be completely separate, and accessible from the main menu. Some Sub-Games have also been the source for larger standalone spin-off titles, particularly in later installments of the series.

Most games in the ''Kirby'' series include at least two Sub-Games. There are few, if any, Sub-Games that are considered to be part of the official ''Kirby'' [[canon]], however.

===''Kirby's Adventure''/''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===

''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', in addition to its Goal Game, also has extra Sub-Games that can be played once by re-visiting the [[Boss]]es of each level, referred to as a [[Bonus Chance]]. Instead of fighting the boss as usual, Kirby and/or his animal friends will instead play a bonus game with them, the rules of which vary with each boss.

Each third stage in the main levels of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' have a mini-game which involves guessing between various objects/sounds. Completing these is necessary to obtain the [[Heart Star]]s in the stages they appear in.

Once the game is complete, these minigames can be played in sequence in the menu - collectively called [[MG5]]. Completing this with a perfect score unlocks another game called [[Jumping]], which is a challenge based on the [[Goal Game]], having Kirby try to land as many times as possible without getting hit by a [[Tick]].

The Sub-Games in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' are unlocked by completing the second level of each in the Boss fights in the main game, and are similar to the Boss fights in question. Unlike in most games, Kirby will get a [[Game Over]] if he fails these Sub-Games. They are as follows:

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', Ninja Dojo returns alongside seven other sub-games from previous games and three new ones are available within [[Merry Magoland]]. Scope Shot doesn't return, likely replaced by Gun Gun Blasters.

*[[Gun Gun Blasters]]

*[[Samurai Kirby]]

*[[Bomb Rally]]

*[[Kirby on the Draw]]

*[[Samurai Kirby 100]]

All of these need to have all three difficulty levels completed to earn [[100% completion]] in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. The only exception is [[Flash Fishing]]: due to this sub-game only having one difficulty level, the player needs to reel in the Bling [[Blipper]] instead.
