Rainbow Run: Difference between revisions

'''Rainbow Run''' is one of the four modes in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''. Within it, [[Kirby]] competes for [[medal]]s by entering '''Time Trials''' and '''Line Trials'''. Time trials require Kirby to reach the end of the second room in a limited amount of time, while line trials require Kirby to get to the end of the room by using the least amount of [[Rainbow Line|ink]] as possible. It features seven levels and a [[Special Course]], which is not found in the storyline and replaces [[The World of Drawcia]]. Stages are selected by spinning the wheel and opting for any of the seven levels. From the hub screen, any hex shaped icon can be tapped to view high scores or open the option for the two trials pertaining to that stage. In each stage of the seven levels, there are two designated rooms from the world in the storyline. The Special Course has its stages focus on the [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]]: [[Stone]], [[Wheel]], [[Missile]], and [[Balloon]]. Unlike time and line trials, there is a '''Course A''' and a '''Course B''' for each ability, both of which have a line and a time challenge. The stages in the levels can be played in Rainbow Run once they are unlocked in the storyline, while stages in the Special Course must be unlocked by swapping medals.

==Time Trial==

Time Trial stages consist of one room from each of the Main Game level's stages. The objective in this mode of Rainbow Run is to race through the course to reach the exit door as quickly as possible. This mode can be selected by tapping the green box labeled as ''Time Trial'' in the Rainbow Run hub screen. Previously earned medals (if any) are visible in this hub for ease in finding which stages to play for further medal unlocking. The '''Best Scores''' are also saved, and the game has no set time limit. Depletion of Kirby's [[health]] will end the game, and no [[food]], or health replenishing [[item]]s can be found in the stage.

==Line Trial==

As with Time Trial, Line Trial offers rooms from each of the Main Game levels. Most of the stages in the two trials are different rooms from one another. The top screen replaces the clock with a large ink bottle. The rainbow colored ink bottle drains slightly with each [[Rainbow Line]] drawn. The objective is to reach the goal and exit the stage using as little ink as possible. To maximize efficiencies of the lines drawn, many of the devices and Copy Abilities offered in a stage can be manipulated. Especially useful are elevators, [[cannon]]s, cranes, inclined surfaces, or anything that will send the character ball skywards. Some Copy Abilities, such as [[Burning]] (to cross chasms) can be used to satisfy a need for a line. By taking advantage of these strategies, less ink will be used, resulting in a higher score and potentially a medal reward.
