'''''Kirby: Squeak Squad''''', (known as '''''Kirby: Mouse Attack''''' in British English, and sometimes spelled without a colon) is a main-series [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' game]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] released in 2006, developed by Flagship and Natsume, and published by [[HAL Laboratory]] and [[Nintendo]]. | '''''Kirby: Squeak Squad''''', (known as '''''Kirby: Mouse Attack''''' in British English, and sometimes spelled without a colon) is a main-series [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' game]] for the [[Nintendo DS]] released in 2006, developed by Flagship and Natsume, and published by [[HAL Laboratory]] and [[Nintendo]]. The game uses the same base graphical style as its preceding games, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', though several new [[sprite]]s for [[Kirby]] and other characters are present, and the game engine has been updated, providing smoother gameplay. Being on the Nintendo DS, a number of stylus-based features are included, mainly in the form of the [[Bubble (container)|bubbles]] and the [[Copy Palette]], which gives Kirby an inventory of sorts that he can use to store [[Treasure Chest]]s and other items. The game features a main story mode and four [[Sub-Game]]s, with [[Boss Endurance|one of them]] being hidden initially. Another feature is the [[Collection Room]], where the player can change Kirby's [[Colors|color]], listen to music, and view collected items. | ||
''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' plays very similarly to other main-series titles, though it features a more traditional level and stage system, similar to that of [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', though larger in scope. In this game, Kirby has his precious [[Strawberry Shortcake]] stolen by a band of interstellar thieving mice called the [[Squeaks]], and he chases them all over the world to get it back. In the process, Kirby gets tangled up first with [[King Dedede]] and then with [[Meta Knight]], and fights both of them over a misunderstanding. In the latter case, Kirby and the Squeaks' leader [[Daroach]] accidentally open up a treasure chest containing [[Dark Nebula|an ancient evil]], and Kirby has to battle and defeat it using Daroach's [[Triple Star]] cane. Only afterward, as thanks for saving him and as an apology for the trouble he caused, does Daroach return Kirby's cake to him, ending the conflict. | ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' plays very similarly to other main-series titles, though it features a more traditional level and stage system, similar to that of [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', though larger in scope.

Due to being a main-series title, ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' plays much like a standard ''Kirby'' game, with the main objective as always being to travel through stages containing various enemies and obstacles to reach the end or defeat a boss. Kirby has access to all of his standard moves and abilities, including his [[hover]], [[inhale]], [[slide]], and [[Air Bullet|air bullet]], among others. He also makes use of his [[Copy Ability]] as usual by inhaling certain enemies or collecting [[Copy Essence]]s inside [[Bubble (container)|bubbles]]. This game features many of Kirby's classic abilities, but five in particular are new to this game: [[Animal]], [[Bubble]], [[Metal]], [[Ghost]], and [[Triple Star]], with Ghost being a secret unlockable ability and Triple Star being the [[Last Battle Ability]] which Kirby uses to fight the main villain at the end. | Due to being a main-series title, ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' plays much like a standard ''Kirby'' game, with the main objective as always being to travel through stages containing various enemies and obstacles to reach the end or defeat a boss.

Despite it being very similar to the preceding games ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' and borrowing many elements from those games, ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' has a large number of distinct innovations and features, some of which have not been seen since. The most distinct feature makes use of the Nintendo DS stylus and lower screen, and is referred to as the [[Copy Palette]]. This feature allows Kirby to store up to five items inside his stomach, which are contained within bubbles. At any time while playing a stage, Kirby can spit out one of these bubbles or use it by having the player tap the bubbled item with the stylus. Certain bubbled items can also be combined together inside the Copy Palette for various effects. The most important use of this feature is for Kirby to carry the treasure chests he finds within stages to the goal, as these treasure chests are the main collectibles of the game, and contain bonus features for viewing in the Collection Room, [[Ability Scroll]]s which can upgrade Kirby's Copy Abilities, key items for advancing the story, and other things. | Despite it being very similar to the preceding games, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', and borrowing many elements from those games, ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' has a large number of distinct innovations and features, some of which have not been seen since.

''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' also has a number of general improvements and additions to the gameplay and stage content. The game's engine allows for much tighter controls than earlier games and also allows Kirby to make greater use of his momentum when performing certain actions, making his movement overall feel smoother. There are also a wider array of stage [[device]]s and [[hazard]]s, such as foliage that can be cut or burned to reveal secrets, water that can be frozen using [[Ice]] to walk on the surface, and metal surfaces that can have electric currents run through them using an electric attack like [[Spark]]. Many returning abilities are given additional attack options as well, with the most notable example being the [[Magic]] ability. Lastly, certain abilities can have attributes combined, such as imbuing the [[Sword]] ability with fire; a feature that would not return to the series until ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. | ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' also has a number of general improvements and additions to the gameplay and stage content.

Spinni can swipe at Kirby with his claw or throw a ninja star.

|Storo is the strongest of the Squeaks, giving him the most HP and the strongest attacks. However, he is big and slow, making him easy to hit repeatedly. His attacks involve pounding with a hammer or slamming to the ground with his body. Both attacks produce stars, which can be inhaled and thrown at Storo. If Storo is knocked down, he may drop his hammer, which Kirby can swallow for the Hammer ability. | |Storo is the strongest of the Squeaks, giving him the most HP and the strongest attacks.

However, there are two holes where she emerges. She can also appear in the background. Once she is in the background, after some time, the glasses in her eyes may shine, and then she makes a big leap. A big shadow appears under Kirby, and Kirby has to dodge Mrs. Moley's body. If her body touches the hard ground, she is stunned for a while. If her body touches one of the two dirt patches, she digs in and resumes her attacks. | |Mrs. Moley is a large, gray mole that apparently bears relations to [[Moley]], a boss from ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''.
