Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this platforming adventure, the player controls four distinct-colored Kirby clones who must chase Meta Knight into the perilous Mirror World. After being split by a shadowy doppelgänger, the team utilizes warp stars to pursue their goal of purifying the cursed mirrors that reflect only bad wishes.
Story
The Adventure Begins
High in the skies above Dream Land floats the Mirror World. In this strange and beautiful land, mirrors have the power to make any wishes reflected in them come true.
One day, a sinister presence invaded the Mirror World, and its mirrors could only reflect bad things. When Meta Knight discovered what was happening, he set off to save the Mirror World.
Meta Knight
Meanwhile, down in the peaceful Dream Land, Kirby was enjoying a leisurely walk. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a familiar shadow appeared!
It looked like Meta Knight, but something seemed different. Without warning, the shadowy Meta Knight lunged at the daydreaming Kirby!
Kirby
Meta Knight's sword split Kirby into four, each one a different color! Meta Knight took off into the sky, and all four Kirbys hopped onto a Warpstar to chase after him.
And that's where our adventure really begins!

Fighter
Kirby attacks with martial-arts moves and can keep it up for some fast-paced pummeling.
