The '''title screen''' is (something).
The '''title screen''' is a menu preceding the contents of a game. It typically includes developer information, the title of the game, a game mode selection, and a basic guide to the game and its story. In the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], it often has an opening [[cutscene]], as well as a '''demo''' in earlier installments. The title screen is accessible upon booting up a game or quitting after a [[Game Over]].


(Defined by being unplayable for the respective characters; has developers info, game/mode/settings select; reflects contents of the game)
In the context of this article, a title screen is defined as an unplayable screen or cutscene accesible at the start of a game or one of its components, more often than not its [[Sub-Game]]s.

The title screen is immediately visible upon booting up the game. It includes the game's logo with a stationary [[Kirby]] in the top left corner, as well as developer information at the bottom of the screen. This layout, with some changes, would go on to be the primary title screen layout of the franchise. The title theme, "[[Welcome to Dream Land]]", would become a staple in ''Kirby'' music.
The [[Nintendo]] logo appears briefly when the game is booted up. The title screen is visible immediately afterwards.

At the beginning of the animation, Kirby comes riding a [[Warp Star]] around the letters of his name. He then disappears, leaving a star to flash at different positions. An onslaught of Kirbys then walks in from the left, following a pattern: walking in, jumping and spinning, landing with a pose, moonwalking, rotating with the KO'd expression, squeezing and expanding repeatedly, rapdily crouching and jumping, faceplanting, hopping while moving backwards, and finally hovering away. This sequence loops indefinitely.

The title screen did not always have its current appearance. During [[Kirby's Dream Land/development|development]], there was a simple background based on the [[Green Greens|first level]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUY2AtBD6Sk&t=03m00s Masahiro Sakurai on ''Kirby's Dream Land''{{'}}s development]</ref> Whether or not there were meant to be dancing Kirbys is unknown.

The opening animation varies greatly between the original ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its [[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|remake]]. Each will be covered in its own section.

After Kirby hops on the Warp Star, a handful of story screens are shown to set up the scenario for why Kirby is embarking on this adventure. The screens are on an ornamented pink board and have the game title, story text and images. Meanwhile, Kirby moves around the bottom of the screen on the Warp Star in specific patterns. After the cutscene ends or if it is skipped, the game returns to the title screen. Idling from this point will replay the opening cutscene again.

In the ''3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure'' version, the title screen makes use of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] touchscreen, presenting additional options to check saved Records and change the game's settings via Options. The title screen itself uses the boxart logo rather than a smiling Kirby.

Setting the standard for its Flagship successors, ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' starts off with the [[HAL]] and [[Nintendo]] logos. Kirby run in from the right, followed by another 100 running, jumping, rolling, walking, grabbing, jumping and hovering behind him. As the last Kirby runs by, the title screen is revealed. This title screen is grey with patterns. The indication to start under the flashing logo is written out in boxed letters. The music here is an arrangement of the original "Title Screen / Demo".

The demo is omitted in the remake. Instead, the story cutscene plays with updated graphics, text and layout.

===File Select===<!-- KNiDL Extra Game Unlocked.png "Start Game menu"-->
The file select for ''Kirby's Adventure'' is a simple continuation of the title screen, with Kirby still smiling at the top of the screen. Each of the three save slots is called "Kirby" and reflects the completion percentage and current progress (Level 1-7, Finish, Extra, or Perfect). Besides the three save files, there is an option to delete save data. When a game is completed, its save file offers a selection between playing the Main Game, the [[Sub-Game|Bonus Games]] and the [[Extra Mode|Extra Game]]. The selected save slot/option has a star to its left. Additionally, a gap under the three slots has a description of the progress of the selected file:
*1%–9%: ''~ Water Drop  &nbsp;~''
*10%–19%: ''~ Son of Wind ~''
*20%–29%:  ''~Li'l Traveller~''
*30%–39%: ''~Swift Hunter ~''
*40%–49%: ''~ Star Herald ~''
*50%–59%: ''~Dream Hunter ~''
*60%–69%: ''~Dream Warrior~''
*70%–79%: ''~Star General ~''
*80%–89%: ''~ &nbsp;Great Ace  &nbsp;~''
*90%–99%: ''~ Final Star  &nbsp;~''
*100%: ''~Hero of Lore ~''
*100% + Extra Game cleared: ''~ Super Star  &nbsp;~''
 
''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''{{'}}s file select is more intricate than the original. It is separate from the title screen and a has an ornamented background. The word "Kirby" is spelt out behind the transparent parts of the save slots. Each slot, now simply called "File", has a corresponding number of dots to the left, as well as completion percentage, the aforementioned progress description (now formatted with a triangular bullet point and starting from 0%) and an image respresenting the last visited saved level.
 
When a file is selected, the Game Select offers to play the main game, including [[Extra Mode]] with its own completion percentage when unlocked, the [[Sub-Game]]s, visit the [[Jukebox#Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|Sound Test]] or erase the file.
 
The File, Game and Sub-Games Select screens have a corresponding letter in the top left of the screen. Separate [[Select (theme from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land)|music]] plays at these screens.

==''Kirby's Pinball Land''==
{{main|Cutscene#Kirby's Pinball Land|Cutscene}}
[[File:KPL main menu.png|thumb|200px|''Kirby's Pinball Land''{{'}}s title screen.]]
The Nintendo logo appears briefly. Following it is the opening cutscene of the game. Kirby walks in from the right along in a grassy field when [[King Dedede]] falls from the sky and lands on him. After Kirby recovers from this, King Dedede makes a bunch of [[bumper]]s appear in the air and bounces on them to get away. Seeing this, Kirby rolls up into a [[Kirby Ball|ball]] and uses the bumpers to chase after him. As he bounces up, the title screen pans down, and the [[Title (theme from Kirby's Pinball Land)|title music]] starts playing. The title screen offers to start a new game or play a previously saved one. Pressing A or B displays the top 4 registered scores and a sleeping Kirby on the Ranking screen, while the Start button leads to the main game.


When a file is selected, the Game Select offers to play the main game, including [[Extra Mode]] and [[Meta Knightmare]] when unlocked, the [[Sub-Games]], visit the [[Jukebox#Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|Sound Test]] or erase the file.
The Ranking screen offers the following records at start (all given names are based on flowers):
#Zephyra (00100000)
#Physali (00080000)
#Dendrob (00050000)
#Gerbera (00030000)


The File, Game and Sub-Games Select screens have a corresponding letter in the top left of the screen.
Idling at the title screen leads to the records screen. Idling from there will trigger the demos, which showcase each of the lands of the game up until their respective bosses. Unlike regular gameplay, they do not have any background music. These demos appear in a random order. Once all three play out with title screen intermissions, the opening cutscene plays again.

==''Kirby's Dream Course''==
===Title screen===
[[File:Kirby Dream Course title screen.png|thumb|200px|left|''Kirby's Dream Course''{{'}}s title screen.]]
When ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'' is booted up, the Nintendo and Halken logos appear one after another on a black screen, followed by the title screen proper and its [[Title (theme from Kirby's Dream Course)|music]]. This title screen is  blue and starry. The game's logo is in a checkered box, and Kirby himself is at the bottom center of the screen. Three spotlights rotate chaotically around the game logo, and the stars surrounding Kirby periodically flash different colors.
 
After the player idles at this screen, a demo plays. This demo has an image of a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] controller in the top left corner and a "demo" icon in the [[Heads-up display|HUD]] in place of the player's custom image. Also unlike regular gameplay, the demos do not have background music.
*[[Course 1 - Hole 1]] (Main Game) explaining the basic controls.
*[[Course 6 - Hole 3]] (Main Game) explaining [[damage]] and [[health]], [[Spike|Danger Zones]] and [[Bunker]]s, as well as map navigation and Grounder/Fly shots.
*[[Course 6 - Hole 5]] (Main Game) showcasing the [[Tornado]] and [[Hi-Jump]] abilities and explaining [[Conveyor Belt]]s and [[Kick Panel]]s.
*[[Course 2 - Hole 6]] (Extra Game) explaining [[Warp Panel]]s and showcasing the [[Wheel]] and [[Parasol]] abilities.
 
Unlike in previous and following installments, the order is preserved when returning to the title screen.
 
[] The original Japanese version of the game also had an opening cutscene that explained the scenario, but for unknown reasons, this was cut from international releases, and relegated to the instruction booklet only. (Music: Opening demo)

Nintendo logo -> developer info screen -> female voice aays "Kirby's Avalanche!" -> cutscene: Kirby rides in on his Warp Star and bounces off the ground as the background becomes a stone mural with Kirbys, some of which dance, and hidden "PuyoPyo" captions. The [music] starts as Kirby pulls down the elastic game logo and falls from it as a bunch of blobs drop from the top of the screen. He springs back from the bottom and lands on a glistening star platform, regaining his composture and waving at the player. A final blue blob drops onto his head.

After the Nintendo logo appears, a brief opening cutscene featuring close-up cutaways of [[Rick]], [[Kine]], & [[Coo]] sliding into view plays. The title screen and its [[Title (theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2)|music]] are then presented, with Kirby jumping in from the left. Most notably, Kirby walks around the screen, bumping into (invisible) borders, looking around, faceplanting and hopping, all in order.
 
Unplayabld demos of the game play out if Kirby is left to his own devices for long enough. No background music is heard in them. These demos naturally follow each other despite taking place in different stages:
*[[Grass Land - Stage 2 (Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Grass Land - Stage 2]] explaining the [[inhale]] and [[Burning]] ability and introducing Rick.
*[[Big Forest - Stage 3]] showcasing Rick with the Burning, [[Parasol]] and [[Needle]] abilities and introducing Coo.
*[[Iceberg - Stage 3 (Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Iceberg - Stage 3]] showcasing Coo with the Needle, [[Spark]] and (briefly) [[Ice]] abilities and Kine with the Ice ability.

A [[File Select (theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2)|separate track]] plays on this screen. Kirby walks in place next to the selected slot, which includes the last played level and completion percentage. Along with the three slots is an option to erase a file, which, when selected, has Kirby carry a [[Bomb (object)|bomb]] in his mouth and place it where chosen. When [[100% completion#Kirby's Dream Land 2|100% completion]] is achieved in a file, said file will offer an Option menu with a [[Jukebox#Kirby's Dream Land 2|Sound Test]], [[Boss Endurance#Kirby's Dream Land 2|Boss Endurance]] and [[Bonus Chance]], each marked by the first word.

When selecting a file, Kirby stands next to small buildings with [[door]]s saying "In". Above each building is a sign reflecting the number of the save file, last played [/progress] stage, and an image of Kirby reflecting the completion [check more details]. Besides the three buildings, there is a sign instructing to press Up and B simultaneously to clear previous records, as well as a [[bomb (object)|bomb]] that Kirby can inhale to then spit at the slot the player chooses to erase.

[[File:K64 title screen.png|thumb|200px|''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards|Kirby 64]]''{{'}}s title screen.]]
Following the [[Nintendo 64]], HAL and Nintendo logos upon first boot-up is the opening cutscene of the game. The title screen itself has a green checkered background and the five main characters of the game in an idling stance: [[Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Waddle Dee]], [[Adeleine]], Kirby, King Dedede, and [[Ribbon]], each facing a random direction in a range of 180°. This title screen has no background music.
Idling at the title screen will trigger a demo:
*[[Rock Star - Stage 2]] showcasing the [[Spark]], [[Spark-Stone]], [[Needle]] and [[Needle-Spark]] abilities.
*[[Neo Star - Stage 3]] showcasing the [[Needle-Stone]], [[Burning|Burn]] and [[Burn-Stone]] abilities.
*Training room
Much like the title screen, the demos don't have any background music. The title screen appears after each demo. Once they play out and the title returns, idling once more triggers the opening cutscene.
===Select File===
[[File:K64 100% Save File.png|thumb|200px|left|Select File.]]
The Select File menu has a corkboard as a background, and plays "[[Select Screen]]". The save slots have a corresponding color and number of pins. Each has an enumeration, an image of a [[Crystal Shard]]<!--fills up based on completion?-->, as well as completion percentage, last saved level, Options (marked by a small blue pencil) and Delete (marked by a bomb).
*Options includes Mini-Games, Enemy Info, [[Theater]] and Settings at the start, as well as Sound Check and Boss Battles upon reaching their requirements.
*Delete offers to clear save data for a file. Once accepted, a countdwon from 3 begins, after which the data is erased with a "Boom!"
There is a cheat code that will create a 100% completed game in File 3, as well as grant the player all of the [[Enemy Info Card]]s. To activate it, File 2 must be blank, while File 3 must be created with no progress. Then, while the HAL Laboratory logo is displayed during the game startup sequence, the player should insert the P2 controller, hold L, and press the buttons C-up, C-up, R, C-right, C-left, and Start in that order. The 1-UP jingle will play to indicate that the code was input correctly, and File 3 will be marked [[100% completion|100% complete]]. Because no C-button inputs are mapped anywhere on the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] or in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', this cheat code cannot be performed in those versions.
===Mini-Games & Boss Battles===
[[File:K64 100-Yard Hop select.png|thumb|200px|[[100-Yard Hop]] selected.]]
Much like most secondary options, the Mini-Games and Boss Battles menus have a simple cardboard-like appearance. While the former uses the "Select Screen" theme, the Boss Battles title plays "[[Entrance]]".
Each mini-game has a corresponding image and description attached with a yellow paperclip. When a game is selected, the number and appearance of playable characters can be chosen, followed by a difficulty selection marked by colorful stars.

A remix of "[[Planet Popstar (theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Pop Star]]" from ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' can be heard here. A 1-Up jingle plays when the game is started.
An earlier version of the title screen has 3 Kirbys in different poses insfead of 3 different characters.

In similar fashion to ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' and ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', the cutscene for ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' begins with the HAL and Nintendo logos, as well as the Flagship logo on the bottom screen of the [[Nintendo DS]], with a white background. Kirby walks in from the left and encounters a [[Treasure Chest|chest]]. As he looks at it, the [[Squeaks]] stampede from the left carrying the game's logo, with [[Daroach]] in the lead. [[Spinni]] snatches the chest while [[Storo]] flattens Kirby. When they leave, the logo stops shaking. Kirby looks around, as flat as a pancake, and then springs up. He watches a [[bubble (container)|bubble]] float over towards him. Once he inhales it and sends it to his [[Copy Palette]], the title screen proper materializes, with [[Whispy Woods]] in the background. "[[Squeak Squad: Title]]" starts playing from this moment. Skipping the cutscene leads the player to this screen. A hand pointing at the bubble Kirby inhaled instructs the player to touch the bottom screen to start the game; however, pressing the A or Start button will do the trick.

If the player idles at this screen, the first story cutscene will play out with the title screen's music, a partial version of the opening cutscene will play out again. If the process is repeated, unplayable demo portions of specific stages will play out in succession, using their own music:

Every two demo stages, the full version of the opening animation plays out, and the first story cutscene is seen again. Once all demos play out, they will loop from the start. If the player leaves the game or proceeds to the file select, the order is reset.
The order and format are unchanged from ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''.

In addition, Kirby and the Squeakers execute randomized movement patterns: Kirby reprises his behavior from ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' after running in from the left, three [[Squeakers]] (one of each color) hop around, and one of the larger [[Squeaks]] appears at random:
*Kirby first runs in from the left to the center of the screen. He may walk, run and either stop midway or halt at the edge of the scresn, stand and blink, puff up and hover diagonally with the possibility to puff out both in midair and near the ground with all in-game physics working accordingly, or sleep with his regular idle animation (that is, dreaming of the [[Strawberry Shortcake]] and eating it upon waking up).
*Three [[Squeakers]] (blue, green and yellow) start at even intervals and then hop around with differeing height and distance, including in place.
*[[Daroach]] teleports to random locations and may glide in any direction.
