− | '''Kirby Super Star''' | + | '''Kirby Super Star''' is a collection of Kirby games. The game has nine games in total. Most of the games are platformers, but some are smaller mini games. |

− | + | =Gameplay= | |
+ | |||
+ | Most of the games in the collection are platformers. As in most platformers, Kirby must avoid hazards and defeat enemies. Unlike past Kirby games, Kirby uses a bar rather than capsules to represent health. Kirby's powers were also more versatile, with each power giving Kirby a variety of moves rather than just one. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Perhaps the best feature of the game was the helper. The helper was an enemy turned ally. A second player could control the helper or the computer could control it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =Games= | ||

+ | ==Spring Breeze== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Spring Breeze'' is a remake of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' using the enhanced gameplay and graphics of ''Kirby Super Star''.

+ | ==Gourmet Race== | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ==Great Cave Offensive== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this game, Kirby must try to reach the end of the game while collecting as much treasure as he can. Unlike most Kirby games, there are no "levels"; everything is interconnected. There are 60 treasures in this game. Some of them are nods to other Nintendo franchises including [[Portal: Mario Brothers|Mario]], [[Portal: Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda]], [[Portal: Metroid|Metroid]], [[Portal: Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]], [[Portal: F-Zero|F-Zero]], [[Portal: Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem]], and [[Earthbound]]. | ||

+ | ==Revenge of Meta Knight== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', Kirby attempts to destroy The Halberd before [[Meta Knight]] can take over Dream Land. Unlike most Kirby games, each level of ''Revenge of Meta Knight'' has a time limit. Going over the limit will cost a life. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Milky Way Wishes== | ||
− | + | The Sun and Moon are fighting. In order to stop their fighting, Kirby defeats the bosses of various planets in order to reach NOVA, a machine that Kirby believes can solve his problem. | |
