'''The Great Cave Offensive''' is the fourth main game available in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. It features a large labyrinthine cavern system divided into four stages, with the goal being to escape the cave, while collecting [[Treasure]] along the way. Completing this game mode will contribute to unlocking [[Milky Way Wishes]] in ''Kirby Super Star'' and [[Revenge of Meta Knight]] in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.

Completing this game mode will contribute to unlocking [[Milky Way Wishes]].
The game begins with a cutscene showing Kirby venturing through a grassy plain wearing an explorer's kit (a beige hat and backpack), presumably looking for treasure. In his melodious strolling, he fails to notice a deep pit in his path, and walks right into it, falling down in cartoonish fashion. When he regains consciousness at the bottom, Kirby finds himself in a huge cave, thus beginning the adventure proper. Kirby's goal from this point onward is to find a way back out, and maybe obtain some valuable things along the way.

Once the final boss in the cave - [[Wham Bam Rock]] - is defeated, Kirby can then return to the beginning to find a [[Warp Star]] leading out of the cave.

The Great Cave Offensive is the fourth main game available in Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. It features a large labyrinthine cavern system divided into four stages, with the goal being to escape the cave, while collecting Treasure along the way. Completing this game mode will contribute to unlocking Milky Way Wishes in Kirby Super Star and Revenge of Meta Knight in Kirby Super Star Ultra.

The game begins with a cutscene showing Kirby venturing through a grassy plain wearing an explorer's kit (a beige hat and backpack), presumably looking for treasure. In his melodious strolling, he fails to notice a deep pit in his path, and walks right into it, falling down in cartoonish fashion. When he regains consciousness at the bottom, Kirby finds himself in a huge cave, thus beginning the adventure proper. Kirby's goal from this point onward is to find a way back out, and maybe obtain some valuable things along the way.

There are a total of 60 Treasures to collect in this game. Collecting them is not necessary to complete the game mode, but obtaining every treasure is required for 100% completion. The game progresses through four primary stages (in the order listed below), with a Boss lurking in each one. The stages are linked to each-other via Cart tracks. Each stage also has a Rest Area, where Kirby can heal up and the player can save the game progress. Once the final boss in the cave - Wham Bam Rock - is defeated, Kirby can then return to the beginning to find a Warp Star leading out of the cave.

There is also a much simpler version of this stage (known as Ω form) which consists of a single flat platform over a pit, giving it a very similar shape compared to the Final Destination stage.

The stage returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Like every other stage, the Ω form of The Great Cave Offensive is resized and reshaped to match Final Destination.
