Obviously Kirby is one of Nintendo's/Hal Laboratories biggest characters, and since I've enjoyed his game's in the past this one was fun to do. Kirby's Epic Yarn is on the Nintendo Wii, and is the first major console Kirby game since the Nintendo 64 (The Crystal Shards). It's capable of co-op as well, making it a good game to play with a buddy. After playing through the game to 100%, I've realized a few things. First of all, I'd like to note here that this game is NOT a hard game at all. In fact, it's one of the easiest platforming game's I've ever played. I attribute this mainly due to the fact that Kirby can NOT die during the game. Therefore, the need for an ultra-detailed guide is somewhat dampened. What I'm saying is that Thnikaman and I aren't here to hold your hand and guide you step by step through the game. Instead, we will focus more on where to find the game's vast amount of collectable items. We'll also point out Boss strategies as well as anything that made us scratch our heads as well. Since Kirby can't die, I would urge you, the reader, to NOT use a guide if all you care about is finishing the game. It's much funner that way. This guide is more of a reference on where to find all the level's treasures, as well as general strategies for certain parts of the game. The main game is rather short of you don't focus on getting everything. If you are looking to get 100% on the game though, you have quite a bit ahead of you. 100% means beating every level, collecting every item in the level, and getting a gold medal on every level. It also means completing every mini-game, of which there are quite a few, to collect all the items that they offer you. Ok, now lets get into the guide. +++++++++++ +(KeY 2.0)+ ++++++++++++++++ + + + Controls + + + ++++++++++++++++ As you probably know (or have at least guessed by looking at the game's box), Kirby's Epic Yarn isn't exactely your normal Kirby game. You won't be sucking thing up and gaining powers here. Instead, Kirby is made entirely out of yarn! Also, you'll be holding the Wii-mote sideways through 99% of the game, giving you very few buttons to worry about. I'll also note that you can learn these moves from the games obligatory tutorial level: Patch Castle in Quilty Square. Directional Buttons: Movement. - Kirby walks at a rather leisurely pace. You can double tap right or left to turn Kirby into a car to travel faster. - Kirby will also automatically turn into a fish/sub thingy if you enter water. You can tap "2" to make him go faster in this form. - Kirby is multi-layered! There are some levels where you will have to press up at a door to move between layers of the level (foreground to background and vice versa). "1" Button: Use Kirby's yarn whip. - Kirby is vicious! Tap the button to whip out your yarn and destroy enemies. - Kirby thinks ahead! Hold the button to coil up the enemy into a ball. You can than use them as a projectile by throwing them! - Kirby isn't god! Not every enemy is destroyable or coil-able. You will learn which enemies you can defeat by playing the game. "2" Button: Jump - Kirby is mobile! Hold the jump button to turn into a parachute. Useful for precision and taking advantage of any breezes. - Kirby is deadly! Press down in the middle of a jump to turn into a weight. Useful for killing things and breaking through blocks. "A" Button: Ghost Mode - Kirby knows when to share the stage! Pressing "A" is honestly only useful when you're playing co-op with a buddy. What it does is puts you in a ghost-like mode, which you can do to save yourself from certain "death" (and avoid any gems/beads being lost). When playing with a friend, this allows them to continue and get to safety. Your buddy can touch you to release you, but you can press "2" to get over to your buddy faster. "+" Button: Pause/Pictures Menu - Kirby is photogenic! Press this button to pause in any stage, as well as use the "try again" and "quit" options if you want to use them. You can also take pictures and save them to your SD card. "-" Button: World Jump -Kirby's got's frequent flyer miles! Use this button on the world map to jump to any unlocked land. Easy transportation! ------------ |(KeY 2.1) | -------------------------------------------| | | | General Pointers/Two Player Benefits | | | -------------------------------------------- Before we start going into the games worlds and stages, let me go over a few things with you. First of all, yes, the point of the game is to make it to the end of the stage, but on the way there you can collect beads. Beads look like gems (and I often interchange those two words) and come in varying amounts. The very small ones are worth one, than they get bigger and come in 5 and 10 amounts. There's also a star that is worth 100 beads. Color doesn't matter, only size. You can see how many beads you have on the upper part of the screen. There is also a string up there where the beads go. As you pile on beads there, they will stack and give you medals to show how good you did on that stage. The three medals are bronze, silver, and gold. If you get hit by an enemy that can harm you (not all enemies can harm you by touching you, look for spikes/spears and other sharp looking things) than you will get hurt. You will also lose a portion of your beads. The beads fall out of you as if you were sonic, which means you can stop and pick them up. This is hard to do over pits, as you'll lose your beads, but is easy on flat surfaces as you're invincible after getting hit for a short while. So... the obvious point to getting a gold is to go out of your way to collect beads and try your best not to get hit. Easier typed then done, of course. EXPLORE! Follow the golden rule to platforming games (if you want to find "hidden" items): go the way that they don't want you to go. Also, I will be emphasising the stage treasures, like :[THIS]:. As you play through the stages, you will also come across bell pieces. These are for the end of the stages where you can get bonus beads, so collect them whenever you can. I honestly can get the 5-star one almost every time, and don't really worry about the other two. I'll talk about the bell game after the first stage (which is coming up soon). Adding in a second player can be both a blessing and a curse. For starters, with two players you have to share platforms, and if you bump into each other that can cause someone to get hurt inadvertantly. You can also accidentally jump on-top of your partner or whip them up into a ball. But there are some blessing to a second player as well. For example, you can stand on player 2's head, have him jump, and than jump off of him to easily reach higher ledges (which I sometimes refer to as the 2-player jump trick). And since you can whip them and coil them up (they look like a baseball when you do this), you will always have a cheap source of ammo and never need to search for an enemy when you come across a breakable block (the colored-in ones). There are also several transformation stages that are handy to have 2 players in as well. Don't be afraid to hit "A" before you die in a 2-player game. Overall, the benefits vastly outweigh the problems, so grab a good buddy to help you out. Lastly, this is a game! Have fun! Onto the guide! +++++++++++++ + + + GUIDE + + + +++++++++++++ This work is seperated by Worlds, which have a control/find functions, and than seperated by stages, which don't have any search function since there is only seven stages in each game and our writings aren't terribly long. It's also worthy to note that Thnikaman and I each wrote different worlds. I will note when we switch writing duties, but I'm sure you'll see the difference in writing styles. I'll (Bkstunt) write World 1 and 2. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.1)+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 1: Quilty Square + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We start the game with the ever-hungry Kirby walkiing through Dream Land, with the story being narrated to us in a true story-book style. Apparently Kirby spies his favorite food just chilling on top of a bush (since when to tomato's chill on top of bushes?) and decides to gulp it down. Unfortunately for our hero, he is the one sucked up, by an evil sorcerer (Named Yin-Yang), into a sock of all things! No! Kirby comes to in a world made up of yarn, and is himself now just another yarn creation. This area is called Quilty Square and is going to be your home away from home for the remainder of the game. Here you'll meet Prince Fluff and go through the obligatory tutorial level. So lets get to it! ------------------------------------- | | | World 1 Stage 1: Patch Castle | | | ------------------------------------- Being the tutorial level, you'll have an easy time here. Watch the big screens as they show you how to perform all of Kirby's moves. There's really no threats in this entire stage. The treasure's here are also ridiculously easy to find. You can find the first one, the :[Chandelier]:, in the gift box right after you learn how to pull patches off of the stage. The next one, the :[King's Throne]: right where you learn how to swing. Instead of swinging right, swing left. Keep going through the stage and after you learn how to transform into a car, you can find the :[Music: Patch Castle]: treasure. At the end of the stage, you will find the bell mini-game. How this thing works is you find the three bell pieces as you play through the stage. They come in three sizes: the 2-star bell piece, the 3-star bell piece, and the 5-star bell piece. Each one you collect goes on the wheel. If you don't get them, the wheel piece where they were supposed to be will just be blank. Now, I was bragging earlier about how I can almost always hit the 5-star piece, and you can/should too! See the pointer at the top? That's space is what prize you get when you pull that bell string. Now the wheel isn't moving too fast, so when you see the 5-star piece BARELY ENTER the top space, pull the string. That's the secret to getting a 5-star every time. It's important to master, too, since a good 5-star reward at the end of a stage can be the difference between a silver medal and a gold medal. After the stage, you will recover a piece of the magic yarn, which was stolen from Patch Land and is used to stitch Patch Land back together. These things are our true goals at the end of each world. Now that we have this one, we will also unlock World 2: Grass Land. But first, let's get acquainted with the rest of Quilty Square. ------------------------------ | | | Knowing your Hub World | | | ------------------------------ Well, we might as well get familiar with this space, since it's our "home" for now. You have Prince Fluff's castle, as well as a door to Patch Plaza to the right. At Patch Plaza you can view your collectables, as well as the cast, cut-scenes, and soundtracks. It's a pretty cool place to browse what you've done in the game. This is also the area to check and see what you're missing, as each door here has a percentage above it to show you how much of that perticular collection you've unlocked. So when people talk about beating the game 100%, this is what they are referring to. Underneath Patch Place is a couple of shops that are closed for now, but will soon open to become a Fabric Shop and a Furniture Shop. You can spend your hard-earned beads here, and near the end of the guide I'll list everything they have to offer. To the right of that is the apartment complex that Dom Woole owns. Here you have your "Pad" which you can enter at any time and decorate. What's the point of decorating? Um... release some creativity? Dom Woole will also ask you to decorate the adjacent aparement, which will make a new tenant appear (The first one is Zeke). But he won't stop there, in fact he'll also ask you to give him some beads to build the apartment complex higher and higher. The first add-on will cost you 10,000 beads and will add on two more rooms to decorate (which bring in Beadrix and Carrie). The second add-on will cost you 25,000 and add on the last two rooms, which after you decorate will bring in the last two tenants (Buster and Mara). Feel free to come back here anytime to decorate the apartment rooms and do the game's mini-games. For now, lets continue onwards to Grass Land. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.2)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 2: Grass Land + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ----------------------------------------- | | | World 2 Stage 1: Fountain Gardens | | | ----------------------------------------- Ah, Grass Land. A fairly easy place and a nice warm-up to get used to the game. Fountain Gardens also does a nice job of showcasing the games graphics, which I've heard described as "disgustingly cute". I agree. Here, jump up the ledges on the tree to find gems and a :[Flower Sofa]: on the right. Also note that you can drop in the water by the bridge gap for some more gems. You can also shake several gems out of the trees (Have a second player collect them). Further on, unzip the castle and drop down to find a gift box with a :[Fountain]: inside. Fancy. Keep heading right and unbutton the level to warp out. Go right (we head right a LOT in this game) and use the water bursts here to find more goodies. Use the third water spurt to find a gift box with a : [Music: Fountain Gardens]: disc in it. At the end of the level you get to control Mega Tank Kirby. These transfroming areas appear in a number of levels throughout the game, and are very fun. Each one is different, and sometimes incorporates player 2. This one lets you spit out bombs (for one player) and control a robotic punching glove (for player two). Aim for anything in your way and if you get hit make sure to move back a bit to pick up any crystals that may have dropped. Keep on going to end the stage. After ending each stage, you will be given a patch. Use it on the world map (by pressing "1" to open up the next stage, as well as often seeing cute little ways showing you how the stage's open). -------------------------------------- | | | World 2 Stage 2: Flower Fields | | | -------------------------------------- Here, you can run along the flower wheels to make gems grow out. There's a whole bunch of wheels like this throughout the level, so do it to all of them. Past the big green wheel is a gift bos with the :[Flower Clock]: inside of it. Keep heading right to find some white flowers that can be whipped to make a floating/swinging platform that you can use to continue. Make sure to grab all the gems arranged like flowers. Use the second white flower to go up to the second ledge (instead of the first) where you will find a frog swing point. Use this to get to the gift box on the right for a :[Frog Umbrella Stand]: Go under the lillypads below and keep moving through the stage. Use the frog swings (two of them) to free an exclamation point from the gift box. Follow it as it circles around and forms a fountain. Unzip the fountain to find the :[Music: Flower Fields]: soundtrack. Keep going ever right and you'll find more flowers that will swing you upwards. Go up all three flowers to get to the highest ledge for more gems, than you can drop downwards and continue up the ladder. Here you will turn into giant UFO's. collect the gems and suck up any enemies (by pressing 2). You can also suck up the non-colored in boxes as well. Once you've sucked up any three items, you can do an electrical attack which breaks the colored-in boxes and often nets you extra gems and lets you pass onwards through this area. Be careful of the bees and mines here! After the level, Dom Woole will ask you to come help him. You'll have to go to his apartement and place down some furniture. The furniture you need is greyed out, but extremely easy to know/guess what it is. You'll have to aim your wii remote at the tv for this part, ladies and gents, but it's easy to figure out. Afterwards you'll meet Zeke, and can now start the Zeke's hide and seek mini-games, which are discussed in their own seperate section. See the table of contents if you need help doing them. After meeting Zeke, Dom Woole will come in and ask you for 10,000 beads. The nerve! well, maybe when we're rich, for now just blow him off. Head outside and to the left to find Dom Woole's two brothers, Chaise Woole and Loomis Woole who have opened a fabric store and a furniture store respectively. We're going to save our beads for now, though. You can check the shops section in the guide for a list of everything they sell. Their inventory changes randomly, though, just so you know. -------------------------------------- | | | World 2 Stage 3: Rainbow Falls | | | -------------------------------------- This level is a bit more challenging, as these pits will "kill" you (or make you lose beads at least) and the water here carries you along. Very pretty, though. Keep going until you make a block fall, than jump on it to get to the first gift box, which has a :[Rainbow Arch]: inside of it. Keep going through the level, enjoying the water and endless waves of Waddle Dee's. Fun. Past the 2nd Waddle Dee spawning box, go up the ladder, and take out the crocodile snappers to get to a gift box with a :[Outdoor Bath]:. Keep going to the tranformation yarn, and you'll transform into a giant surfing penguin. Here you can jump and spin kick ("1") to gain some altitude when you need it. You can also have player 2 shake the wii remote to fly for a bit. It's pretty fast paced here, but just try to hit all the circle exclamation boxs which make gems appear. You can also find the soundtrack to :[Music: Rainbow Falls]: here as well (it's hard to miss). -------------------------------------- | | | World 2 Stage 4: Big Bean Vine | | | -------------------------------------- This level is all about going up. Be careful of the Waddle Dees here and check where you're heading as they all have bow's and arrows. Continue upwards collecting the gems until you find two Waddle Dee's floating. Use their umbrellas to make it to the gift box on the left for the :[Lattice]: treasure. Keep heading up and kill the big beast guarding the door to the tree. Use the tree to grab all the red gems and enter the next section, where you have to ride balloon Waddle Dee's to go ever upwards. You can find the :[Music: Big Bean Vine]: music shortly after getting to the baloon Waddle Dees, just find it on your right. Keep heading up and keep your eyes open for a gift box on the right with a :[Cloud Pillow]:! Notice that the baloons deflate after standing on them for awhile, so alternate between baloons to finish the stage. -------------------------------- | | | World 2 Stage 5: Fangora | | | -------------------------------- Ah, our first boss fight. Fangora is one giant yarn dragon, but since it's the first boss it's not too hard. It does look awesome though. Wait as it roars at you and tries to intimidate you, than dodge it's tongue. Afterwards it will be tired and stick it's pullable tongue out. Grab it and whack the dragon to hurt in. It will fly off in anger. Now watch the cloud pieces of yarn below you and get out of it's way, as it will be coming straight up. It will telegraph where it's coming up at with the cloud yarn, so turn into a car if you have to! Now for this second part, he will spit fire at you. This fire is catchable and you can throw it right back at him. Try to throw them all back for maximum gems (it's easier with two people) and once again catch his tongue. He'll go through the whole flying off angry thing, so watch your feet as well. Now for the third time he will whip his tongue at you faster and three times in a row. Dodge them all and whip him one last time with his tongue to win (because every boss should die in three hits, right?). Now if you hit him with those fireballs and collected all the gems (as well as not getting hit), you'll get a special patch at the end of the level, the mole patch! You can get special patchs from every boss battle in the game, and they always unlock extra stages, just so you know. You'll also get the :[Music: Fangora]: music after the fight, along with a magic yarn and another cutscene, naturally. The magic yarn will sew more of the world together, and will open up Hot Land. Let's go do the new stage here first, though. You don't have to, but for the sake of completion I will always do all the stages. ---------------------------------- | | | World 2 Stage 6: Mole Hole | | | ---------------------------------- Unzip the string here to turn into a mole version of kirby. Here you can play around in the dirt, kind-of like dig dug. What, you don't recognize that reference? REALLY? Sigh... Go down and collect any gems you can, being careful of the salamanders. You can find a star piece on the left hand side before the door section, but you really should be exploring everywhere. Break the debri blocking the door and go in it to get the rainbow of gems as well as the :[Carrot Dresser]:. Keep going downwards collecting gems and breaking the debri for another star. Past that is another area full of those fire salamander things, so be careful. You need to often plan ahead to dig up things in the right order to gain access to certain gems. Past the third debris item is one of these timing points. The blocks here will obviously fall as soon as you dig underneath them. Push the bottom right block forward, than dig down quickly to get the circle and dig up and to the left to get out of there. You'll get a ton of gems and be able to go down a door, leading you to the :[Music: Mole Hole]: soundtrack. Move the block to the right over to get out of here. This area is just a huge amount of dirt with a :[Tree Stump Bed]: in the middle. Explore to your hearts desire to get all the gems, including a secret gem ring to the right, but eventually you'll drop down below to the gem wheel to end the level. ------------------------------------ | | | World 2 Stage 7: Weird Woods | | | ------------------------------------ Weird Woods is the 2nd UFO level, which is really fun, but a bit harder than the first time you were an UFO. Directly past the first vine spinner is the :[Log Cake]:. This one can be hard to get, make sure to go through the vine spinner fast and it's down and to the left. Past that you'll spy the next treasure, which is easy to acquire, so make sure to grab the :[Telescope]:. You'll just need to break open the boxes surrounding it. Past the tree you'll also see the :[Music: Weird Woods]: in another spot surrounded by boxes, but it's really easy to get. Well, I'll turn things over to Thnikaman now, and let him walk you through World 3: Hot Land. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.3)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 3: Hot Land + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------- | | | World 3 Stage 1: Pyramid Sands | | | -------------------------------------- This is a desert area filled with the cliche' sinking sands and dust devils. Here there is only one enemy to worry about, the spike balls. They drift in some of the later dust devils and if your not careful they'll get you. You can however kill them by throwing other enemies at them. At the end you'll turn into a race car and begin a race (if you have a second player they'll be able to boost you forward). Win the race in first and you'll get a bag of goodies. :[Camel Sofa]:: As you approach the second sinking sands area you'll see a pull string. Pull it to gain access to the area below where you'll find the gift box. :[Cactus Juice]:: A short while later you'll see a similar pull string. Pull it and drop down. Avoid the Waddle Dee's spears as you cross the string and grab the nearby patch. Behind it is an exclaimation point that will lead you to a pyrimid behind which is the Cactus Juice. :[Music: Pyramid Sands]:: Near the end of the race section you'll begin to see some platforms. Stay on the top-most one as much as possible and eventually you'll see the disk. ------------------------------------- | | | World 3 Stage 2: Lava Landing | | | ------------------------------------- This level is chock full of flaming death with lava spewing volcanoes and pits full of molten magma. All through the area there are bombs ready to blow the beads out of you. You can use these bombs to your advantage by clearing out blocks with the explosions. The Volanoes that you'll see throughout the level can be sealed by pulling the strings on their sides. Be cautious though, because they will quickly resume exploding. After you pass through a narrow tunnel you'll become a fire truck (The second player will just become another fire truck; nothing special here). Tilt the wii remote to aim the water cannon, use 1 to shoot a jet of water, use 2 to jump. With the fire truck you can kill anything that;s made of fire, and in this level everything's made of fire. After you lose your fire fighting ability you'll find yourself being chased by flames. I guess they're upset about you killing all their friends, so flee for your life from the rising lava until you reach the end of the level. :[Stone Lamp]:: After the first red dinosaur, grab the pull tab and you'll see an exclamation point. It will lead you over the other dinosaurs to a door above a volcano where you'll find the item. :[Cartoon Meat]:: Above the volcano you'll see some platforms. Seal the volcano up and jump upwards and you'll see a present box beind a wall of yellow blocks. Use the bombs above you to blow a hole in the wall to gain access to the box. :[Music: Lava Landing]:: As you are fleeing from a fiery doom inside the cliche' volcano level you'll see a present box behind some hollow blocks to your left. Lasso the blocks to get to the present. --------------------------------- | | | World 3 Stage 3: Cool Cave | | | --------------------------------- A refreshing change of pace, Cool Cave is a watery cave with relaxing jazzy piano. That aside, it has some challenging moments. The first thing you'll encounter is a series of narrow tunnels you'll need to navigate in order to reach the next area. Here you'll face some large rolling spike balls that you'll have to avoid. Next, the floor will become unstable. Be careful not to get squashed as the waves of floor pass by. Then, the ceiling will begin to fall as sharp spikes drop from above. As they fall the spikes create temperary platforms. You'll have to use all your timing skills to ascend the shaft. Once you've navigated the verticle tunnel you'll be turned into a mole machine again. This part is not very difficult, just dig your way to the end of the level. :[Crystal]:: Once you enter the large chamber with multiple caves, you'll see an odd platform you can drop through. As you fall you'll land on another platform. Before it drops out from under you, pass through the cave to your right. Here you'll find the present box. :[Music: Cool Cave]:: When you exit the series of caves you'll be in another large chamber. In this room there are large spiked balls that will roll towards you. After awhile you'll see a present box behind a wall near a ladder. Ahead is a pit of spikes with a pully over the top. Still further down the path is a place that spawns the large spiked balls. To reach the present box you'll have to spawn a spike ball, raise the ground under the spikes with the pully (to make a bridge) and let him smash through the wall. :[Frog Mirror]:: After you are turned into a mole machine, keep digging and stay near the top. When you reach the end you'll be in a room with a present box in it. ----------------------------------- | | | World 3 Stage 4: Dino Jungle | | | ----------------------------------- Well, it's a jungle full of dinosaurs, what can I say? There aren't really any tricks to this one, just go through it and don't die. :[Torch]:: After you ride across the water on the dinosaurs for a while you'll see some long necked dinosaurs. Jump on their heads to get the first present. :[Music: Dino Jungle]:: After the area with the drop downs, you'll see a present box below you. Nearby you'll find a drop down tab. Go down and pass through the hidden area to get the box. :[Bronto Slide]:: When you reach the two T-Rex's drop below them and peel back the patch to find an exclamation point that will lead you to a nearby egg. This egg will contain the item. --------------------------------- | | | World 3 Stage 5: Hot Wings | | | --------------------------------- Hot Wings is a giant flaming bird. The first thing he'll do is spit out several flaming birds that will fly towards you. These you can catch to throw at him. If you hit him he'll fall down dazed, walk up to him and grab his tab and hurt him. Then he'll fly up from the lava below followed by flying across from the edges of the screen. Watch for the orange light at the edges to show you where he'll come from. Dodge these attacks and lava will spew up from the bottom, so just make sure your standing on a platform. Next, he'll come down and launch a volley of fire balls at you, so just stand between them. That's the basics, just repeat until dead. Remember you'll have to do pretty good if you want to get the hourglass patch which unlocks the secret level (don't get hit!). Afterwards you'll get the next magic yarn piece as well as the :[Music: Hot Wings]:. You'll also unlock the next world, Treat Land. ------------------------------------- | | | World 3 Stage 6: Temper Temple | | | ------------------------------------- There's not much to write about here. You are a fire truck for the entire level, so just stay on the platform, shoot water, fight fire and win. :[Pyramid]:: Kill the first fire centepede. After the first platform stops he'll come up from below you. :[Camel Hump Pillow]:: Kill the second fire centepede after the platform starts to move verticle. :[Music: Temper Temple]:: Near the end of the level, when the platforms seperate and go around a central pillar, kill what will be the last fire centepede in the level. ---------------------------------- | | | World 3 Stage 7: Dusk Dunes | | | ---------------------------------- This level is a race and that's about it. Pretty fun! Move fast, dodge obstacles, stomp your enemies, and win. Here's the treasure locations: :[Magic carpet]:: To get the magic carpet stay on the upper platforms. It's floating in the air after the second big jump. :[Hour Glass]:: After the magic carpet, drop to the bottom level and wait until you hit a spring. This will launch you up to the hourglass. :[Music: Dusk Dunes]:: After the hour glass continue to stay on the upper platforms making every jump. Eventually you'll run into the music disk. Ok, time for Bkstunt to continue writing for World 4. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.4)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 4: Treat Land + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ---------------------------------- | | | World 4 Stage 1: Toy Tracks | | | ---------------------------------- TREAT LAND. Ah, onto something a little more friendlier! First of all, note that you can pull the cars out here to make platforms (like the gems suggest). After the second car, leave the Waddle Dees who are throwing the blocks alone, as you can ride the blocks that they throw to get up higher. In fact, ride the third block upwards to find the :[Stuffed Bear]: treasure, but make sure to grab the bell past the duck right below you. use the doors underneath the soldiers feet to continue. The next set of soldiers has the same trick, but don't stay outside the middle doors (where the big yellow gems are) for any longer than it takes to grab them. Use the last door to find an exclamation mark that will lead you to the :[Toy Robot]: under the soldiers hat. Keep going past the moving toy robots and you'll come up to a bear. Be careful here, as there's an ambush, so show them who's tougher. Help out the poor bear by going below and hitting the button, than fixing his foot. This next area will have you as a train, and you'll have to point your remote at the tv to draw train tracks. It's pretty fun and you have all the time in the world, since you can flip the train around by pressing B. Draw tracks to avoid obstacales and gather items, and take note that you need to hit a charge ball to break through blocks. You can get the music track for :[Music: Toy Tracks]: here. Also, grab the three cargo pieces of the train for a star each at the end. ------------------------------------- | | | World 4 Stage 2: Mushroom Run | | | ------------------------------------- Eck, I personally hate mushrooms. Oh well, it's just a game. These mushrooms are fun though, since they let you bounce. Continue on until you see the yellowish mushrooms. The trick here is to turn into a weight and crash down into them, which will send you soaring up in the air. Do this to find a lot of extra gems along the way. One of these will send you to another section of this level, but make sure you weight drop the gem boxes to find a gift box with a :[Mushroom Bed]: in it. Go to the next section now where you will have to ascend ever upwards on floating mushroom chandelier things. At the top is a swinging button you can use to get to a higher chandelier, so do that and you'll find a gift box on the left with a :[Mushroom Lamp]:. Keep heading to the right past the frog thing to a bunch of houses. This area is another one you need to explore and travel upwards. You can find the :[Music: Mushroom Run]: music in a gift box past three breakable blocks to the left of this area. Make sure to break the boxes with the purple gems as well. Keep ascending and do a weight drop on the last mushroom for a star. Hit the wheel and you're done. ------------------------------------ | | | World 4 Stage 3: Sweets Park | | | ------------------------------------ The first thing to note here is that you can unzip the big cake at the start to reach those gems below. Continue ever onwards past the first flan dropper to the second, where you can drop down hard on it for the gems. Do this for the third one too and continue onto the conveyor. Here flans are dropping all the time, so watch your step. When the conveyor's start going upwards, make sure to use the flans to jump left to find a star and further up for a :[Donut Pillow]:. Continue past the conveyor to find some giant spinning cookies. This place is pretty fun, but gets tougher since there's portions of it where you can fall to your "death". When you reach the ladder, go ahead and go up it. The button on the right is a warp point which you should take, and you'll become a mole. Ok BEFORE going crazy, notice that gift box there. The ladder on the left at the start of this area (by the warp point) leads to this cake where you can be normal Kirby, buy you can't reach that gift box by yourself, so use your mole form to make steps for normal Kirby and come back and collect the "[Dessert Dresser]:. Now you can go crazy as a mole. After your fun, go down the ladder and continue east and use the cookie to get down below and reach the :[Music: Grass Land]: music in the gift box. Head east to finish the level. ------------------------------------ | | | World 4 Stage 4: Melody Town | | | ------------------------------------ True to it's name, in melody town you will be walking over piano's and hitting drums to make sounds and spawn gems. Keep going east until you reach the trumpet, where you can hit up and down to collect the gems in the stanza. Get them all for a star. Head past the cymbals and use the bongo drum to get to a gift box with a :[Toy Piano]: in it. Keep heading east and you'll come to some harps, which are neat. For now head east past them and go to the lower platform to find a gift box with a :[Clef Tree]: in it. Clever, but not very well hidden though. Now go back to the harps and use them to swing up and to the right, where you can go into a tuba for another note game with another star at the end. Now head east past piano land and you'll find an acordian. Go past that one to the second accordian, and hit the button on it and use the bongo drum to the left to get on top of it. When it goes back up it'll take you to a gift box with the :[Music: Melody Town]: music in it. Keep heading east for one last music puzzle and one last star before ending this stage. ---------------------------------- | | | World 4 Stage 5: Squashini | | | ---------------------------------- You'll be performing in front of an audience here. Squashini will come out and spin a roulette wheel to decide how to attack you. Here's the spins. Cards: He throws several cards at you. Stay to the right and jump, than grab one and hit him with it. Grab him again and throw him across the room. Rope: The curtains shut and he ties you to a massive bomb. Fun. Jam on the buttons until you are free, at which point he will dissapper. Hit the bell to gather gems, than just run all the way to the right when the bomb's about to explode. Hats: Dodge the hats as they come down trying to squash you. Do this three times than pick a hat and pull the button. You only have a 33% chance of getting him, so if you don't, just dodge whatever he does and continue on. I've seen him spawn a monster and fire after this attack, but make sure to select a button, though, because if you don't he'll just attack you with BOTH of the other hats. Skulls: He produces several bombs from behind his bomb cloak. Very easy to avoid as he doesn't follow you when the bombs start dropping. Personally I killed him on three card runs, as I missed grabbing the bombs and never picked the right hat. Just keep at it and make sure to get alot of gems for the cookie patch (the rope thing helps here). After the fight you'll also get the :[Music: Squashini]: music. And another piece of magic yarn. Man, those two are gluttons. Doesn't Nintendo know that gluttony is a cardinal sin? Guess I've been playing too much Dante's Inferno lately... -------------------------------------- | | | World 4 Stage 6: Cocoa Station | | | -------------------------------------- In this level move forward and you'll turn into a train. Fun! The first exclamation mark you make will spawn a plane with a star, so quickly get the charge to catch up to it. In the second area, hit the yarn to open a gate and get your train up there to find the :[Choco Ottoman]: treasure. Keep going and hit all the switches in the next area to make the :[Chocolate Bar]: treasure accessible. The blocks in this next part hide a switch, which lets you get to that exclamation mark above you, which spawns a lot of gems by the charge orb. Also make sure to use the charge orb to get the five star bell piece. Keep going through the next tunnel where you'll have to hit the charge orbs to break through the blocks if you want any of the goodies. You can get another cargo piece here (you should have four now) as well as the :[Music: Hot Land]: music. ----------------------------------- | | | World 4 Stage 7: Dark Manor | | | ----------------------------------- This level is fun. It's pretty dark in the manor, but there's always a light on by Kirby. You can also find a ball of light to carry around and you can even whip the ghosts to make more balls of light. Go past the first ghost to the second ghost. This area has a ladder that you probably need to car jump to, but it leads up to a gift box that has a :[Ghost-in-a-box]: Use the button on the lamp to light up the way ahead. Do this a couple more times until you see a ghost floating around. Get him and use him to break the box to the left (the one above you), than jump up there to get some more gems and eventually a gift box with a :[Pumpkin]:. Keep going through the house; there's not really anything here that's a threat to you. Gather the stars along the way and eventually you'll leave the house. Break the blocks to continue downwards. You're in a well here, but can still use the ghosts to light the way. The northeast path leads to a room where fire orbs spin around blocks. Be careful if you whip them, as they will stop and shoot at you like a fireball. Past the orbs is an elevator which leads to a new section of the manor. Here you can light the way with gems, but you can also get some bigger gems by falling down the holes. By the button which turns on the lamps, jump to the left to find a swinging button, which leads you to a gift box with the :[Music: Dark Manor]: music disk. Sweet. Pull the lights on and jump down the hole to get the 5-star bell piece. Pull the next set of lights to spawn five ghosts if you want, but continue past them to end the stage. Time to turn over writing duties to Thnikaman, who will write about world 5: Water Land. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.5)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 5: Water Land + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------ | | | World 5 Stage 1: Spash Beach | | | ------------------------------------ As you begin the level you'll be on a beach at night. After a short while you'll find a tear in the wall that will take you up into the clouds. Here you'll see the moon has a pull tab. Pull it and you'll turn the sea from a peacful night to a day teeming with life. Continue along navigating the rising and falling tides, being sure to avoid any enemies that get in your way. Opening umbrellas will create temperary platforms for you to reach higher areas. There's a great area near the end of the level where you ride across on big waves. :[Sun Clock]:: Under the third lone umbrella is a present box. :[Moon Clock]:: After you swing across the swings and drop into the water you'll see an umbrella above you. Open the umbrella and climb the above ladder to get to the present box. :[Music: Secret Island]:: When you enter the area with the large waves be sure to look above you. There you'll see a present box. Ride the top of the wave and jump onto the platform with the box. ---------------------------------------- | | | World 5 Stage 2: Blub-Blub Ocean | | | ---------------------------------------- This is another beautiful level full of water. You'll spend nearly the entire level swimming. You'll need to avoid the tenticles as they will pull you in and hurt you. You can kill them by throwing other enemies at them and if you struggle you can escape. Later on in the level you'll fulfill everyones greatest dream: you'll become a dolphin. As a dolphin you'll be able to move quickly through the water and dash forward hurting enemies (Press "2", you can also do tricks by pressing "1"). You can also move against the strong currents to collect items, and there are a lot of good items to get in this part. :[Jellyfish Light]:: Near the beginning just before the two verticle pillars of water you'll see some breakable gold blocks. Destroy them and jump upwards to reach the present box. :[Music: Blub-Blub Ocean]:: After the waterfalls in the dolphin area you'll see two rings floating above the water. Between and above them is the music disk. :[Aquarium]:: Get all the balls into the net with the dolphin. -------------------------------------- | | | World 5 Stage 3: Secret Island | | | -------------------------------------- Shhhhh, it's a secret! No, not really. This Island is full of them though. First you'll find a back and forth area just pass through the doors and work your way past the various enemies. After that there is a large open space which you'll have to traverse by jumping on balloon Waddle Dees. Next is yet another back and forth area. Here you'll have to time your crossovers to end up standing on a platform. That being done your free to finish the level. :[Treasure Rug]:: After you drop down from the back and forth area you'll see the present box below to the left. :[Totem Pole]:: After you drop down the long shaft into a chamber with a lot of grey arrow blocks. Go through the nearby door and walk past the spikes. Climb upwards staying in the background. Come into the forground, grab the button, and jump across and back down. Now the spear carrying Waddle Dee's wil be at ground level. Grab their spears making sure not to grab the Waddle Dee and throw the spear at the gold blocks. This will give you access to a pull tab revealing an exclamation point that will lead you to the other room and attach to the fossil. Pull the tab and a giant bird will stand up creating a platform for you to reach the box. (Editor's note: It's also easy to get this one using the two-player jumping trick). :[Music: Splash Beach]:: In the area with the balloon Waddle Dees, ride them all the way to the top, jumping from one to the other. There you will find a present box containing the music disk. --------------------------------------- | | | World 5 Stage 4: Deep Dive Deep | | | --------------------------------------- This is another level you'll spend entirely under water. However, this one is much more perilous. Right off the bat you'll have to navigate past some electric eels. Just follow behind them until you have an opening to move forward.. Next, you'll run into some angler fish. To defeat them get them to try and suck you in, then grab their dangler. A little ways further you'll be chased by a lamp-ray. Not only that but along the way will be some volcanoes that you'll have to seal up. After this you'll get to be a dolphin again. Swim past some more eels and go through another few lamp-ray chases to finish the level. :[Angler Lamp]:: When you get to the angler fish be prepared to dodge it's sucking attack (I don't know why it can suck and I can't). Once it gets done, grab it's dangler and it will die. Behind the second one you'll find the angler lamp. :[Mast]:: After you turn into a dolphin you'll come across some eels. Go straight down the first one through some boards and you'll get the mast. :[Music: Deep Dive Deep]:: At the end of the dolphin/eel area you'll see the disk. Circle around so that you can destroy the gold blocks, then circle down and around to collect it. --------------------------------- | | | World 5 Stage 5: Capamari | | | --------------------------------- Capamari is a giant squid enemy and to be honest he's not that hard. Just grab his dangling string and hold. He'll begin to unravel, so just watch out for his tentacles which will try and grab you. Wrap them up and throw them at him to produce beads. After you have him completely unraveled he'll become an octopus thing and four pots will appear. He'll also darken the screen with ink. Grab the projectiles and look for his eyes to appear and throw them at the eyes. Next, he'll travel from pot to pot. Avoid him and grab the mini octopi. Eventually he'll come out of all four pots but only one will have his eyes. Throw the mini octo at that and you'll win. Remember to do well to get the patch after the fight! For winning you will get the :[Music: Capamari]:, a Treasure Map patch if you did well enough, and of course another piece of the magic yarn. -------------------------------------- | | | World 5 Stage 6: Boom Boatyard | | | -------------------------------------- This is reportedly the most difficult level in the game and it's easy to see how (Editor's Note: Yeah, it probably is.). Throughout the entire stage you'll be bombarded by bombs which will also sink the boats your walking on. The best stratagy is to keep moving and never ever stop. There are many patches you can pull to get extra gems, but just make sure they don't distract you from your primary goal of running as fast as you can. There are also a couple of big ships that are full of beads so search them at your leisure. After the second ship you'll have to fight a miniboss cannon guy. Grab the small bombs he shoots and throw them back at him. :[Treasure Chest]:: After the first set of boats you'll see the present box above you. Jump up as soon as you see the lower gold blocks and grab it. :[Music: Boom Boatyard]:: On the first large ship climb the ladders all the way to the top. Here you'll see a flag, just pull it to get the disk. :[Pirate Ship]:: On the second ship climb to the top of the first mast and swing across and pull the flag to get the treasure. ------------------------------------ | | | World 5 Stage 7: Fossil Reef | | | ------------------------------------ This is a wonderful dolphin level filled with water bubbles (ripped directly from Super Mario Bros Wii). Simply navigate the ascending/decending bubbles to the end. Be sure to explore thouroghly as there is lots of fun and beads to be had. :[Anemone Sofa]:: In the second room, after you first encounter the spiked fish, go up to the bubble with the arrow in it. Instead of following where it tells you go up and to the left. The sofa is in the upper most bubble. :[Fossil]:: Next go through the third room and over a large pillar of reef. Then, you'll see two bubbles moving up and down and intersecting one another. Get into the upper bubble and ride it up into the small pool of beads above. Here you'll see the fossil. :[Music: Water Land]:: After you decend the long verticle shaft, head into the fourth bubble room. Follow the first couple of bubbles up. It's at the top of the room to the left. Once again, Bkstunt will be taking over and writing the next World, World 6: Snow Land. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.6)+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 6: Snow Land + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------- | | | World 6 Stage 1: Snowy Fields | | | ------------------------------------- Ah, the mandatory snow levels. Here Kirby will slip on the ice if you run on it, like most platformers. You'll also have Waddle Dee's throwing snow balls at you. These aren't too big of a deal, just jam on the buttons to get out of them (you don't lose any gems). You can also ride on the snow balls to gain some height (or just use the two player jumping trick to get height). You can find a lot of gems in this first area, so feel free to explore. Head past the first two shallow ponds and get the exclamation marks. Head up and use the button swing to get to the right for the :[Big Bear Sofa]: gift box. Keep heading up these ramps full of snowballs, riding them to find extra gems. Go down the boxes to continue. Soon you'll come across some BIG snowballs. Use the house to hide from the first one if you need to and ride the second one for lots of gems and a bell piece. Break the boxes downwards to continue. Here's another big snowball run, but this time use the tower in the middle to jump up to the top and swing to the left to find a :[Penguin Mirror]: in the gift box. The next area is rough, just take your time and check out all the snowballs the Waddle Dee's are throwing. You can find the 5-star bell piece to the northwest of this area. In the next area, keep going and remove the door to the tower, than ascend it. Don't come out until the big snowball is below you, as you need to ride it to find the gift box containing the :[Music: Snowy Fields]: music. Continue on to finish. ----------------------------------- | | | World 6 Stage 2: Cozy Cabin | | | ----------------------------------- Ah, a nice little cabin. Ready for some home invasion? Go ahead and climb the tree, than ride the air gust upwards and down the fireplace. Continue on and roll up the board to start a timed race downwards. On the first pass, break the colorless block guarding the gift box to find a :[Fireplace]:. Keep going to exit this first house, than climb up the next tree to find an exclamation mark, which puts gems on the tree. Pull the door to go into the next house (one invaded home isn't enough for Kirby!). This one will start collapsing as soon as you enter, so work fast! You'll have to be fast to reach the gift box here, which has a :[Chimney]: inside of it. After the house, head out into the field and enter the door to take a spill. Don't worry, you can use the wind currents to find all sorts of goodies here, just look around. Head east to the next house which has no door and is just asking to be broken into. Well, this house collapses from the bottom, so race upwards using the jet streams to rise whenever you can. The important treasure here is the :[Music: Cozy Cabin]: music that you'll see in the gift box on the way up, so be sure to grab it. The end of the level isn't too far off, so go ahead and finish it. ---------------------------------- | | | World 6 Stage 3: Mt. Slide | | | ---------------------------------- This level is pretty fun, as the entire thing has you riding on a snowboard. There's also wings scattered around for you to find which give you an extra jump. Also don't forget you can jump kill an enemy, than jump again. Try and aim for the tops of the caves for the most gems and use any falling icicles as ramps as well. Also an important note here is that you can jump OFF of the trees as long as you do it BEFORE they reach their apex. The music is the first thing to aim for, so make your way past the first icicle cave and make sure to grab the wings at the end. Now on this big pine you come up to, ride it upwards and than jump off (remember, you can jump before hand) and get on top of the next cave. Grab the wings and instead of going up to the next roof, jump underneath it to the right. Use your wings to reach the :[Music: Mt. Slide]: music disc. Now we'll aim for the knit cap sofa. To get it, keep going right and use the roofs. Be careful of the Waddle Dees with spears here, and use the monsters to reach the :[Knit Cap Sofa]:. Now for the Snowman. It's right after the knit cap, so be ready. The very next tunnel has some falling icicles that you need to use as ledges to reach some wings. Use the wings to reach another set of wings higher up, than you can in turn use those to grab yourself a :[Snowman]:. All in all, this is a fun level, but due to the fact that you can't back track, it make take a few tries to get everything. Do a few "fun run's" first and you'll see exactely where the treasures are. ------------------------------------- | | | World 6 Stage 4: Frosty Wheel | | | ------------------------------------- This level is well designed, notice that you turn into a sled instead of a car? Use the sled combined with the slopes to reach new heights. You'll find the :[Snow Clock]: in a gift box if you keep heading right instead of up when they let you. You'll have to have a good sled jump to reach it, though. Keep heading past the icicle geyser's and than past the floating ice blocks and you'll come across the frosty wheel's. Use them to reach a gift box containing a :[Snow Globe]:. Keep going past the ever-increasingly difficult ice geyser's and wheels and you'll find a gift box with the :[Music: Frosty Wheel]: music disk in it, behind some colored boxes. You can use the second player to break these, or an enemy that you can find below it. Keep going and use your sled to act like you're in a sonic game. This next section is full of jumps and gems, and in short is just plain awesome (Thnikaman approved!). Have fun. ------------------------------------ | | | World 6 Stage 5: King Dedede | | | ------------------------------------ Time for a nice fight with King Dedede. As you can see at the start, Dedede is a marionette. He has four strings controlling him, which you will need to take care of. His attacks vary depending on how many strings he has left. At the start he will pound with his hammer, producing stars which you can grab and hit him with. He will also do a dash attack from left to right (or right to left) that you can dodge. Now hitting him with a star will put him on his back/belly, kind like how he is when he dashes at you. What you need to do is turn into a weight and pound down on him. This will make the marionette buttons appear, than you just need to whip them off. Now he'll add in a shout which pushes you away but is unremarkable otherwise. He'll also add in a ground pound that sends out shockwaves, which you must jump to avoid. However, he'll also have mines drop down, so choose your jumping spot carefully. He also does his first attacks as well. At 2 strings left, he'll do everything above but add in a hammer attack that produces stars and than he proceeds to do a whirling hammer barrage. Do your best to grab the star and use it to stop him early. At 1 string left, it's more of the same, but he'll do the mine and ground/pound attacks longer. Defeat him to recover yet another piece of the golden yarn, as well as the :[Music: King Dedede]: music and the Penguin Patch (for doing good). ------------------------------------- | | | World 6 Stage 6: Frigid Fjords | | | ------------------------------------- Ah, another fun level. Here you will be in another race, with a TON of racers. The first part isn't hard, but notice you can jump onto the ice pillars to get higher and usually get on the top paths. Keep on the top path at the beginning to find the :[Penguin Chest]:. Keep going gathering gems and charges and you'll have to jump over two rock structures. Keep going and you'll have to use three ice pillars in a row to get to the :[Sleigh]: treasure. Keep going on however you want, go through the caves, but to get the music disk be sure to keep low after the caves. You'll go under three rock pillars at some point and hit a boost. Jump the gap right after that charge to get the :[Music: Snow Land]: music. Getting the music is on the path with the lesser amount of gems, though, just a FYI. -------------------------------------- | | | World 6 Stage 7: Evergreen Lift | | | -------------------------------------- Now this level, like most levels after the boss, is quite fun. You're on a giant lift that you have to forceto move by winding up the center button. This gives you a lot of control on how fast you want to go. Also, there is really no area to explore here, so here's some general notes: Beware of the archers shooting down. You can find the :[Holiday Tree]: in a gift box on the left. The cannon looking enemies shooting snowballs don't seem to be killable, but you can kill them with a weight or other enemies. You can find the :[Star Wreath]: in a gift box on the right. Towards the end of the level, you can find the :[Music: Quilty Court]: music in a gift box on the right. Now, normally I would give over the next world to Thnikaman, but since "real life" got in his way I'll be doing the next World too. Don't worry, he'll return for the world after the next one, but for now let's go onto World 7: Space Land. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.7)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 7: Space Land + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------ | | | World 7 Stage 1: Future City | | | ------------------------------------ Oooh, a future based world. Fun, Thnikaman is missing out. Enter the door here to go up the elevator and ride the train thingy. This train is fairly safe to ride on, just don't get between the cracks when it goes downhill or you may fall. The ladders it passes lead to a bell symbol, but it's just the first one. On the second platform, go up the elevator and across the platforms. A ufo enemy here can shoot beams at you, just fyi. Go into the structure next and use a Waddle Dee to access the first gift box with a :[Space Monitor]: in it. Keep going past the gift box and use the weights to head upwards (you'll have to get rid of any enemies on the bottom weights, obviously). Head up the next elevator to turn into a ufo. Use the ufo shock (remember, the one you get after sucking in three enemies?) to break the boxes below the starting point for a lot of gems, and further up for even more gems. Keep your eyes open in this area for lots of gems. After turning back to "normal" Kirby, fall down the door and use the Waddle Dee to hit the colored in block. Jump over there to worm your way up to a gift box with a :[Space Table]: in it. You can also use the box you dropped to worm yourself to the 5-star bell piece. This next area has those slightly swingy platforms with volcano's, but they miss you entirely if you stand on the edge, so just take your time. enter the next door. This leads to one last train ride, so just be careful of the downwards parts and collect gems. Near the end is some ladders you can jump to to get the :[Music: Future City]: soundtrack (or you can easily get it with the two player jump trick). ---------------------------------- | | | World 7 Stage 2: Tube Town | | | ---------------------------------- Well, first of all avoid the obviously bad spikes of electricity and move up to the Waddle Doo. Use him to destroy the block to the left which leads to the :[Digital Clock]: gift box. Keep going upwards avoiding electricity until you get to a worm hole. Go left in it and get the snapper to chase you and power the next platform so it moves up and down. Use it to continue, and than go downwards. Unleash the exclamation mark from the first nook on the right and get down so you're below where the stage makes that upwards platform. Now use it to reach the exclamation mark for the :[Music: Tube Town]: soundtrack. In this next area, clear all the blocks out and collect the gems (you can use the projectiles to ball up and clear the blocks out easier). Than kill the snapper to the left, so you can make it chase you and power up the other outlets. The middle outlet gives you a star while the right outlet lets you move on. You can use the far right enemy as a stepping stool to get that 5 star bell piece, by the way. Ride up and make the snapper give you some more juice, than head up the platforms, ducking under an especially tight space. Past this use the button to go right and find a :[Circuitry Rug]: in a gift box. Head right now and ride the wave, dodging the cleverly placed mines along the way to the end. --------------------------------------- | | | World 7 Stage 3: Mysterious UFO | | | --------------------------------------- This level is pretty cool. Head in the ufo and hit the button to turn off gravity to an extent, giving you extra long jumps. Explore around a bit and you'll find a gift box to the left with the :[Communicator]:. Head to the top to turn on the gravity and jump down (as a weight) on the box to the right for a star. This next area, just proceed along the platforms normally until you get to a door which will drop you down to the anti-gravity button. Use it but be careful of the electricity. Explore a bit to find some gems and an especially nice stash to the north (grab a box to propel yourself up to the exclamation mark). Head right and use the rotating sphere to make another exclamation mark appear, than use the sphere twice in a row and get up that northern shaft to find the gravity button and some :[Space Food]: behind the exclamation mark. Go downwards to turn on another anti-gravity button, than use it to keep heading right until you pass the third set of mines. Now we're going to get fancy. To get up that northern path (which is obviously hiding something) you need to car jump to the first enemy, whip him (just unravel him, don't hold him) than with your new height whip the second enemy on the right so you can get on top of that ledge. It may take some practice to do, but it's entirely possible and leads to the :[Music: Space Land]: soundtrack. Head back down and keep going right to get to a much bigger sphere. You can use this combined with a Waddle Doo to get the 5-star bell piece. Use the sphere to go up and turn back the gravity, and than to go right to end the stage. ------------------------------------ | | | World 7 Stage 4: Stellar Way | | | ------------------------------------ Here we have to be careful, as there is no floor under us for the majority of the time. Use the stars to travel right, but don't put yourself in danger for that bell piece or an extra gem. Just time things right and be safe. This next platform has several enemies with comets raining down. watch your head and continue, grabbing the ribbon below to turn all those comets into gems for awhile. The comets will come back though, so be ready. Use the buttons to get the ladder (and the star down below) and in this next room kill any ufo's you see. Those things are a pain. Than use the rotating ledges to go up and left to reach a gift box with the :[Star Candy]: in it (that last ledge can be tricky to get to, jump when it's straight, the go counter-clockwise around it). Head right and use the swinging button to continue. You can get a few gems here by swinging around creatively. On this first planet thing, get to the apex and follow the path to reach the :[Music: Stellar Way]: soundtrack. You can also get the :[Rocket Bed]: by using the stars below the BIG spinning planet (the second one). Also be sure to get the 5-star bell piece by climbing the ladder at the second spinning planet's apex. Keep heading right past one last comet infested area (there's an exclamation mark to turn them into gems) and you'll reach the best part of the game so far: Rocket-Ship Kirby. This section is awesome, just use "1" to shoot stars in a 1942-like mini game. Get as much as you can without getting hit by any projectiles for maximum gems. This section leads to the end of the stage, so have fun! ------------------------------------ | | | World 7 Stage 5: Meta Knight | | | ------------------------------------ Ah, you knew this was coming... For the first part of the fight, Meta Knight will roam around and slash at you, sometimes sending off a wave attack. Grab his wave attack and spin it up, using it to hurt him. When you hurt him, grab his sword to get rid of it. Now he'll go get another sword, blue this time. He gets a bit faster, so be careful. He also shoots the one big wave still, but can shoot two smaller, homing waves as well. Grab one of them and hit him again, than make sure to grab his sword again to hurt him. Now he'll go get yet another sword, purple this time. This one took me by surprise, but you'll know better! This thing has a MASSIVE range, so get far away and up/down to avoid it. He also is able to do a downwards thrust if he catches you below him. He still shoots out the waves, though, so grab one and hit him with it, than grab his sword. Not done yet, Meta Knight will go and grab another sword, red this time. This one gives him several new moves, such as a huge fiery swing and a move where he sends out wind gusts (which take you up to the roof and hurt you, since the roof has spikes) followed by a wave attack. He also sends out three homing waves now. Grab any of those wave attacks and hit him with it, than pull away his sword to win the battle. One thing worth note here is that sometimes if you throw something at him in front of him he will slice it, making it disappear. Being fast seems to limit this, as well as hitting him when he lands and not being in front of him forever, but as always, practice makes perfect. For winning you will get another piece of golden yarn, as well as the :[Music: Meta Knight]: music and, if you score high enough, the satellite patch. ---------------------------------- | | | World 7 Stage 6: Moon Base | | | ---------------------------------- This level, like most levels after the bosses, is quite fun. You'll be transformed into a tankbot right away, so cause havoc until you reach the orange boxes than jump backwards for the :[Cosmic Bin]: treasure. Keep going and kill the crystal inside of the ball. Remember, if it isn't dying, you probably just need to use excessive force! Head past the two fire dispensers, killing everything to get to the :[Porthole]: treasure. Keep heading right to face down another hiding crystal, but on a treadmill this time! Fun! Now head past the boxes into a... meteor swarm! Yes, blow them up before they manage to hit you. Note that the bigger ones take more rockets, and you can nab the :[Music: Tankbot]: music on the way! Sweet. Head right out of the meteor swarm to reach the final hidden crystals, only this time there's two of them and a ton of cannons. Spray rockets everywhere and protect yourself to beat them and finish the stage. ------------------------------------ | | | World 7 Stage 7: Outer Rings | | | ------------------------------------ Yes, oh dear god yes. I prayed there was this level ever since I found out about the Rocket-Ship Kirby. If you liked that at all, you'll just love this level. Feel free to kill at will and collect the gems, as I point out the treasures for you, just in case you miss any! This level features you riding as Kirby the Rocket-Ship the whole time. Use your star powers to take out the comets for gems. A bit into the level, those bee things will pop out and try to ambush you, but kill them and nab the :[Saturn Stand]: treasure they leave behind on the right. Now things get a bit tougher, as ufo's will eventually come out and shoot at you. In fact, those sneaky little things will come out left to right and right to left, four at a time, and shoot at you right away at one point, so get ready to dodge some streams of laser fire. Than they'll bring out the tentacle monster things, but make sure to kill all of those as the last one drops the :[Saturn Donuts]: treasure. Keep kicking butt and soon you'll face the "boss" of the level: a giant electrical cloud thingy. Lay into it with concentrated fire as it fires comets at you. You can destroy the comets easily and still hurt him, though, and even sway side to side. He does a few special attacks that you should know. The first one he just rams downwards, which is easy to dodge. The second one he will fire electricity down and move a bit towards you, but as long as you move away you'll be ok. The hardest to dodge is where he centers himself in the middle and shoots out four electricity fonts and rotates. To dodge this, just hide in the corner. Once you kill him you can end the stage, but be sure to grab the :[Music: Outer Rings]: soundtrack that he drops. Well, that's it for World 7. I'll now let Thnikaman write about the last world for you. +++++++++++ +(KeY 3.8)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + World 8: Dream Land + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------- | | | World 8 Stage 1: Whispy Forest | | | -------------------------------------- A true classic, Whispy Forest is pretty easy to navigate. Enjoy the retro music. There's plenty of secret doors here and a few cannons that are easy to operate. There's nothing too hard here or that you can't handle, so here's the treasure list: :[Whispy Woods]:: When you get to a tree you can pull down, take an enemy and throw it at the wall of bombs. This will reveal a secret door that will take you to a cannon room. Fire yourself at the blocks to the left. You'll now be in a room with the box. :[Apple Pie]:: After you drop through the Whispy Wood tree, head left until you see a cannon below you. Jump in and fire straight up. Now climb the bouncy platforms up, avoiding the cannon fire as you do. At the top go left and decend minding the spikes over head. At the bottom again you'll find the present box. :[ Music: Green Greens]:: In the ladder room climb up until you see a secret door to the left. Work your way to it and go in. Once in the other room take the cannons up to the top of the room. Go to the middle cannon and fire straight down. You'll now be directly next to the box. --------------------------------------- | | | World 8 Stage 2: Tempest Towers | | | --------------------------------------- Tempest Towers is essentually a big wind tunnel. The tempest towers challenge above all else your skills at timing. The trick is before you jump across a gap make sure the wind is at your back. When you're crossing particularly large gaps use your parachute to help as you'll be blown a good distance in that form. Another area to note is the upwards draft room. Here you'll have to activate and release your chute to ascend and descend. Avoid the obstacles and enemies as much as you can. After this area is the end. :[Bookcase]:: Just past the first spike pit is a secret door. Warp through it to the next room. Mind your timing so the the winds are blowing to the left. This should carry you all the way across the gap. Countinue up to the present box. :[Pancakes]:: After you climb the ladder to the next floor of the tower you'll see some star blocks above you. Make sure you have an item to throw and use a right-bound wind to carry you to the ledge. Break the blocks to reveal a secret door. Go through and you'll see a Waddle Doo. Grab him up and throw him at the bomb block then quickly get out of the way as the blocks above will begin to fall down. The falling blocks will create new platforms for you to climb up. Grab another Waddle Doo and hit the other bomb block. Again, get out of the way of the falling climb on them for K.H.O.P time. :[Music: Butter Building]:: As you ascend the upward draft chamber you'll come to a place where there are two Waddle Dees throwing bombs. Behind the blocks that the left one is standing on is a secret door. Go through and a bunch of gems will appear leading to the present box. Open and close your parachute to control your elevation and guide yourself to the box. Open it to get the disk. ------------------------------------- | | | World 8 Stage 3: Cloud Palace | | | ------------------------------------- This level's a bit more complicated than the previous ones. There are lot's of places to die as you are in the clouds. You'll have to focus on timely grapples because there are a lot of moving grapples about. The bouncy clouds are fun but can be difficult to time. Oh, and when you run across the giant cloud monster RUN. Do not grapple him, RUN. Do not throw things at him, RUN. Just run as fast as you can. Later you get a star cloud shooter thing and you'll be able to take your revenge on the evil cloud beast. When you do get to the airplanes, you're bound for more AWESOME. Any second players will just be a seperate plane. For some reason, these things shoot star clouds. Huh, oh well, have fun. :[Cloud Rug]:. When you first see the bouncy cloudy creatures bounce on them until you see a grapple above you. Grab it and swing back and forth. It will eventually take you to the box. :[Bubbly Soda]:: After the first big cloud monster that you hopefully RAN AWAY FROM you'll see a series of the railed grapples. If you take the path being fed from the bottom right feeder it will take you to the present box. :[Music: Bubbly Clouds]:: A little while into the star cloud shooter transformatioon area the path will split. Take the bottom path to get the disk. -------------------------------------- | | | World 8 Stage 4: Castle Dedede | | | -------------------------------------- Cannons, cannons everywhere, that's pretty much this level to a T. You can jump on the cannonballs just be sure they don't slam you into the wall. That's really about it. Be sure to explore the castle's many warp door's as well. :[Castle Dedede]:: When you arrive at the room with three cannons in a row, jump up to the top ball. Let it carry you to the left wall and go through the secret door there. Once on the other side use the Waddle Dee's arrows to break the blocks they're standing on. Then kill each of them to spawn an exclaimation point. It will attach to the portrait in the middle of the room. Pull the tab to get the item. :[Dedede's Robe]:: After you pass through the room with the downward cannons and up into the room with a single launch cannon in the middle take the right path to continue the level. Pull the tab to move the wall. Behind the wall is a secret door that will lead you to another kill the enemies room, this time with UFO's. Kill them and the exclaimation point will spawn. Pull away the portrait to reveal the item. :[Music: Gourmet Race]:: In the room with three horizontal cannons and spikes, take the last path you can take and jump to the left. The door will lead you to one more kill room. Kill the bombs to get the exclaimation point and pull the portrait. --------------------------------- | | | World 8 Stage 5: Yin Yarn | | | --------------------------------- Finally, the baddy behind all of this. Time to teach him a lesson. First, he'll summon Fangora (which you'll only have to fight for one phase). Simply dodge Fangora's attack and grab her tongue. Once you defeat Fangora he'll drop a cloth over the screen with only a few holes in it to see through. While the screen is down he shoots needles at you which will sew strips of thread that will act as platforms and walls. Use these platforms to get to the door and exit to escape. Next, he'll summon Capamari in his final phase. Grab a small octopus and throw it at the blob that has eyes. Then grab it to kill it. Now Yin Yarn will drop his cloth again. This time, however, he'll summon lesser enemies that you can grab and throw at him. Do this twice and he'll fall down. Comince celebraaa... Well, he's still alive. This time though Meta Knight comes through with a giant robot transformation. Fire missles at him as fast as you can, making sure to hit the projectiles he throws at you. A second player operating the robot arm really helps here. Once you beat him this time, he's down and out. For winning the battle, you of course win the game. Congrats! You'll also get the :[Music: Yin Yarn]: soundtrack, the baseball bat patch, the :[Music: Dream Land]: soundtrack, and the :[Music: Staff Credits]: disk. Good job! Now you can tackle Dream Land's extra stages as well as any mini-games that you wish. ------------------------------------------ | | | World 8 Stage 6: Meta Melon Island | | | ------------------------------------------ This level is fun to the Nth degree. You'll start out as a race car. Then, before you know it, your a fire truck. Next, you're a dolphin. After that you transform into a train. Finally, you become the surfing penguin. Really what more can you ask for? You have nearly all the best elements in the game in one level. This level is essentially a tour-de-force in transformations, so have fun! The one thing to note here is that you can shoot the lava with the fire truck to make it harden and become a platform. :[Palm Chair]:: Kill the first fire centapede after the fire dinos. This one is obviously in the firetruck section. :[Ice Cream]:: This is located between the two train cars on the ground above where you start in the train section. Very easy to get. :[Music: Ice Cream Island]:: Make sure to hit the rainbows at the end of the penguin section, as the disk is up in the air a bit. ------------------------------------------- | | | World 8 Stage 7: Battleship Halberd | | | ------------------------------------------- The Battleship is basically a side scrolling shooter game featuring Kirby (Editor's Note: And one of my favorites!). Just fly through the level dodging enemy fire and destroying everything in your path. The end boss is a flame spewing computer of sorts. Just destroy his two weapons and central core. :[Galaxia Sword]:: The item is inside the second large cannon (what's a sword doing in a cannon?). :[Knight Helmet]:: This item is located inside the first large cannon that is inside the ship. :[Music: Halberd]:: The disk is inside the bottom of the two large cannons that are above and below the inside of the Halberd. ++++++++++++++++++ + + + Mini-games + + + ++++++++++++++++++ Here is a collection of the game's many mini-games. All of these mini-games take place in the game's levels, and you can only play through the ones that you've already beaten. Meaning that you'll naturally know the levels before you play these mini-games. They provide a good distraction from the main game, as well as tack on many extra hours of game play. For the most part, they all reward you with one new fabric for each mini-game you beat. Necessary? Not really. Only really necessary if you want to play longer, gather fabrics, or get to 100%. Most of these mini-games are fairly simple. I will note here that practice makes perfect, and there's no better way to pass a level than to keep on trying. To access these mini-games, you must first decorate the various apartment building. You must also build onto the apartment to access the other four rooms. Here is a list of what you need to decorate the apartments, as well as how many gems you need to build onto the apartments. APT: 101 Kirby's Pad APT: 102 Zeke's Pad Required: Flower Sofa Flower Clock To build the second level: Required: 10,000 Beads APT: 201 Beadrix's Pad Required: Rainbow Arch Camel Sofa APT: 202 Carrie's Pad Required: Stuffed Bear Bronto Slide Dessert Dresser To build the third level: Required: 25,000 Beads APT: 301 Buster's Pad Required: Chimney Torch Outdoor Bath Totem Pole APT: 302 Mara's Pad Required: Clef Tree Jellyfish Light Space Monitor Knit-Cap Sofa +++++++++++ +(KeY 4.0)+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + Zeke's Hide and Seek + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Zeke's mini-games involve taking you to a stage and making you find five monkey's in a hide-and-seek game. When you spot one (and for the most part they are SUPER easy to find), just whip them to hit them. Some can be hard to find, i'll admit, especially in the latter stages.

Reward: Floaty Ghost Fabric Once you have beaten all of his mini-games, he will want to come over to play with you after you finish a stage. Go into your room to meet with him and recieve a Zeke Fabric. +++++++++++ +(KeY 5.0)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + Beadrix's Bead Runs + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Beadrix will want you to collect a certain amount of beads in a certain amount of time. These mini-games are pretty easy. They often lead you onwards with beads, and almost always give you more beads in the stage than you need. They also like to transform you, which is fun. Overall, these one's are pretty fun and easy. The most important thing here is, of course, not to get hit (you don't want to lose your beads). Two players help for any transformation levels, especially in the later stages. Here's the stages, beads and times, and rewards. Bead Run 1: Flower Fields 600 Beads / 1:30 Reward: Flower Fabric Bead Run 2: Pyramid Sands 200 Beads / :30 Reward: Hot Land Fabric Note: Make sure to kill the single monster at the end.

Use the parachute for precision. Bead Run 12: Fountain Gardens 200 Beads / :20 Reward: Brick Fabric Note: Do a few practice runs, this one is all about car form and knowing when to jump.

Go into your room to meet with her and recieve a Beadrix Fabric. +++++++++++ +(KeY 6.0)+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + Carrie's Transport + + + +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Carrie will want you to carry her to the thone at each stage. These are probably the easies mini-games, and having a second player helping you makes them super easy as they can clear the way and provide a stepping stool. Just remember to have some urgency, and use car mode whenever you can. Transport 1: Patch Castle Time: 2:00 Reward: Fluff Blue Fabric Transport 2: Fountain Gardens Time: 1:00 Reward: Green Tartan Fabric Transport 3: Flower Fields Time: 1:00 Reward: Berry Soda Fabric Transport 4: Lava Landing Time: 2:00 Reward: Lava Fabric Transport 5: Mushroom Run Time: 1:30 Reward: Mushroom Soil Fabric Transport 6: Melody Town Time: 1:30 Reward: Yellow Dot Fabric Transport 7: Splash Beach Time: 2:00 Reward: Palm Island Fabric Transport 8: Secret Island Time: 1:30 Reward: Treasure Map Fabric Transport 9: Cozy Cabin Time: 1:30 Reward: Warm Mittens Fabric Transport 10: Tube Town Time: 1:00 Reward: Famicom Fabric Note: Kill the creature, car throw her over, than take the downwards path.

Go into your room to meet with her and recieve a Carrie Fabric. +++++++++++ +(KeY 7.0)+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ + + + Buster's Training + + + ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Buster is all about death! No, really, all this guy wants you to do is kill enemies. For the most part, this is pretty easy. Make sure to use enemies as projectiles when it's useful for you? Have a chance to use a spear as a throwing weapon? Take it! In fact, there's a few levels here where they expect you to do things like that. Also, have a sense of urgency. Car mode when you can, projectiles when you can, etc... Oh, one more VERY important note. On these stages, you get hurt by an enemy, and you LOSE TIME off of the clock. So it's VERY important that you don't get hit. In fact, not getting hit is the single most important thing on later stages like Cloud Palace and Evergreen Lift. Here's the stage, how many enemies you have to beat, how long you have, and your rewards. I put a few notes by the harder ones. Training 1: Sweets Park 10 Enemies / 1:20 Reward: Sweet Dot Fabric Training 2: Rainbow Falls 20 Enemies / 1:30 Reward: Waddle Dee Fabric Training 3: Pyramid Sands 10 Enemies / 1:30 Reward: Mummy Mania Fabric Training 4: Mushroom Run 15 Enemies / 2:30 Reward: Buttonfly Fabric Note: Make sure to explore this area. Maybe do a dry run first to locate all of the enemies. Not too hard, considering all the time you have. Training 5: Melody Town 10 Enemies / :40 Reward: Orange Soda Fabric Training 6: Cool Cave 15 Enemies / 1:30 Reward: Dandan Fabric Training 7: Dino Jungle 25 Enemies / :45 Reward: Hot Wings Fabric Training 8: Splash Beach 15 Enemies / :40 Reward: Water Hoop Fabric Note: Use the enemies her for arrow ammo. Training 9: Blub Blub Ocean 10 Enemies / :30 Reward: Waterfall Fabric Training 10: Snowy Fields 20 Enemies / 1:00 Reward: Midnight Dot Fabric Training 11: Frosty Wheel 10 Enemies / :45 Reward: Snowflakes Fabric Training 12: Mysterious UFO 4 Enemies / :15 Reward: UFO Sighting Fabric Note: Wow, a Doozy. Car Jump than use the grabbable blocks to propel yourself forward. Grab the ufo, wind him up, and unleash him to win. Training 13: Stellar Way 30 Enemies / 1:00 Reward: Meta Knight Fabric Note: Continuosly throw arrows (wind up their weapons) at them. Stand right before the inclined area and use the one respawning sword guy to get arrows from for around three kills per wave. Kill the spear guy to the left in your spare moments. When you're close to getting 30 kills, go crazy and kill whoever. Training 14: Whispy's Forrest 20 Enemies / :50 Reward: Woods Fabric Training 15: Tempest Towers 10 Enemies / :35 Reward: Candy Dot Fabric Training 16: Cloud Palace 70 Enemies / 1:10 Reward: Yin Yang Fabric Training 17: Weird Woods 30 Enemies / 1:00 Reward: Fangora Fabric Training 18: Dark Manor 15 Enemies / 1:30 Reward: Squashini Fabric Note: This is king of a hide-and-seek stage. There's two at the start. Another is behind a box, there's the ghost, and than one past the ghost (you should have 5 now). Another one is past the one past the ghost, and there is a ladder above him where you can find another one (don't forget that ladder! You should have 7 now). At the foot of the stairs is one, and another in an alcove to the right of the second set of stairs (tricky). One is at the top of the second set of stairs as well (10 now). One in an alcove to the left of the third set of stairs, past that is another ghost. Jump up and right to hit an exclamation mark and bump into another, than follow the path to find the last two. Training 19: Boom Boatyard 20 Enemies / 1:30 Reward: Capamari Fabric Note: Don't get hit! Take the upper path at the start. Try to be at the front of the screen whenever you can, ready to kill whatever show's it's face. Training 20: Evergreen Lift 20 Enemies / 1:20 Reward: King Dedede Fabric Note: Again, getting hit is almost a call for a re-do. Take out the Waddle Dee's throwing snowballs first, as they can kill other enemies with their snowballs. Use weight Kirby or other enemies to destroy the snow bullet enemies. Once you have beaten all of his mini-games, he will want to come over to play with you after you finish a stage. Go into your room to meet with him and recieve a Buster Fabric. +++++++++++ +(KeY 8.0)+ +++++++++++++++++++ + + + Mara's Races + + + +++++++++++++++++++ Ah, Mara's races.

As I stated before, they are generated at random, so I'm just going to list them by how much they cost. Oh, certain items aren't available until a certain point in the game. Like the Meta Knight and King Dedede items aren't available until after you fight them. +++++++++++ +(KeY 9.0)+ ++++++++++++++++++ + + + Fabric Shop + + + ++++++++++++++++++ FABRIC SHOP 100 Bead Items: black cotton orange cotton white cotton light blue cotton pink cotton brown cotton purple cotton blue cotton yellow cotton red cotton green cotton lime cotton 200 Bead Items: white felt yellow felt black felt red felt lime felt light blue felt purple felt blue felt green felt pink felt orange felt brown felt 300 Bead Items: gray quilted green quilted beige quilted aqua quilted pink quilted purple quilted 400 Bead Items: green border black border orange border light blue border pink border 500 Bead Items: choco mint green tile blackberry picnic blueberry brown tile beige choco chip checkerboard blue tile red tile vanilla mint bumblebee blue checkered yellow tile 600 Bead Items: white star pistachio gold star country red lavender lemonade sky blue flower dot purple striped green striped light blue striped yellow striped pink striped black star 700 Bead Items: blue argyle pink argyle green argyle 800 Bead Items: leopard print tiger print giraffe print zebra print cow print ++++++++++++ +(KeY 10.0)+ +++++++++++++++++++++ + + + Furniture Shop + + + +++++++++++++++++++++ FURNITURE SHOP: 300 Bead Items: hanging plant display stand rocking horse round table sandwich table lamp toast alarm clock rotary phone ceiling lamp seat cushion fabric frame basketball net dartboard box long cushion pizza coloring set small dresser square planter flower vase wall mirror counter table cushion coffee round cushion 500 Bead Items: snare drum tv stand potted plant sofa rug round rug elegant chair long mirror car tube tv diamond rug normal bed mini fridge trumpet wall clock wall sconce picnic basket steak omelette phone 800 Bead Items: vanity table train steamboat old clock fruit bowl elegant sofa floor lamp refrigerator xylophone bouquet vase cake large dresser sewing machine guitar 1200 Bead Items: flying saucer taiko drum sushi microphone plasma tv electric guitar elegant bed wardrobe helicopter 2000 Bead Items: scarfy bomber bronto burt waddle doo chilly waddle dee 5000 Bead Items: king dedede meta knight 8000 Bead Items: (Note: Beat the game for these two.) star bed bell hanging ++++++++++++ +(KeY 11.0)+ ++++++++++++++ + + + Credits + + + ++++++++++++++ Bkstunt's Credits: Thnikaman for the idea to do Kirby's Yarn. At the time, no one had a guide written on it! Thanks to my wife and kids for the late nights, and to Good-Feel and Hal Laboratories for a well-done game. Disgustingly cute, but well done. Thnikaman's Credits: I'd Like to thank my wife for giving me the time to work on this, my friend Bkstunt for cowriting, and Family Video for the rental.
