The Kirby series has been running strong for decadeꦦs now. While there are a ton of mainline titles, the Kirby series also includes a healthy helping ⛄of spin-offs. These games can range from being unique interpretations of sports titles to being Kirby-themed versions of arcade classics.
The world of Kirby offshoots has even grown to include sequels to spin-off titles. The🌜re are a few unifying traits among the Kirby side games. They all include that loveable puffball, and they are consistently well-made. Even the worst Kirby spin-of꧋fs are competently constructed. This consistency makes them a bit of a treasure trove for Kirby fans.
15 👍 ൲ Kirby Planet Robobot Offshoots
What happens when bonus games get spin-offs? Well, this phenomenon is best depicted by the deluxe titles released for the 3DS. These titles included Kirby Clash Deluxe (an RPG-lite, boss arena battler), Dream Fighters Deluxe (a Smash clone featuring Kirby characters), Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe (a rhythm game featuring Dedede), and Kirby's Blowout Blast. The best of the bunch here is Blowout Blast, which feels like a proof of concept for a 3D Kirby game.
All o▨f these games are upgraded versions of their Planet Robobot counterparts. As such, they feel very limited in comparison to all other Kirby side-releases. They serve one purpose only: extending the experiences already found in Planet Robobot for those who real🤪ly enjoyed those titles.
14 𒆙 Kirby Battle Royaleℱ
No, despite its name, this isn't a Battle Royale title. This is a Kirbyified version of Mario Party without the board game component. Battle Royale is composed of 10 minigames. The story mode does an okay job of gluing these minigames together. Outside of the story, players will cycle through these minigames in the online multiplayer mode.
As a mulꦆtiplayer experience, this features a few fun mini-games (such as Flag Ball and Slam Hockey), but most of these games are extremely basic and focus on mashing buttons.
13 𒈔 Super Kirby C🐻lash
Oh no, the bonus game s𓄧pin-offs are getting sequels. This title is an expanded version of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. This is a pseudo-RPG with real-time combat. There are multiple RPG-inspired, Kirby classes to utilize. Ultimately, Kirby Clash plays like🐼 a series of boss arenas that you tackle with a squad of Kirbys.
Interestingly, Super Kirby Clash is free-to-play. It isn't a bad time (especially when played co-op), but it is pretty basic. If you own a Switch and are curious, the barrier of entry has never been so low.
12 🌄 Kirby Dream Fighters 2 ♔
The first Kirby Fighters was a bonus title that played like a version of Smash Bros exclusively featuring Kirby characters. Kirby Fighters 2 is super cute, and despite having a roster filled with versions of Kirby (this may give you flashbacks to Goku in D🍃ragon Ball FighterZ), combat has a surprising amount of variety.
There is also a pretty engaging single-player mode where you climb a tower (which includes a light upgrade system). That being said, it really feels like most people would just be better off playing 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Smash Bros Ultimate. While fun, Kirby Fighters 2 is𝓰 exclusively for Kirby fanatꦫics.
11 Kirby's Block Ball
This is a Kirby-themed Arkanoid clone. Thankfully, they made sure to include a number of elements taken directly f🌼rom the mainline Kirby games. For one, you do get copy abilities. Secondly, and most importantly, Kirby boss ba♊ttles have been implemented.
Honestly, theౠse boss battles are the highlight of the game. They will see you keeping Kirby in play, bopping the boss while defending Kirby from spikes that surround the🎉 boss arena. In practice, they are pretty simple, but they do a great job of breaking up the Breakout-style sections.
10 Kirby Starstacker 🐟 ༺
This is a cute, easy-to-play puzzle game with a Kirby theme. Collect stars by sandwiching them between two of the same block type (all based on Kirby's allies). The more stars you can wedge between the two blocks the better. The real skill here involves stacking your blocks deliberately to help create a chain reaction.
Starstacker is a lot of fun, but it never really feels like a Kirby game. Nearly every element here that is tied to Kirby is purely visual. It is worth noting that there is a Japan-ex🦄clusive sequel to the GameBoy title onไ the Super Famicom, but it plays identically.
9 Kirby's Avalanche
Like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine before it, this is a Puyo Puyo re-skin. Match the colorful blobs; four connected blobs will burst. Stack them in such a way that with each cleared group of blobs another group will drop down and, ideally, come in contact with a blob that matches th💮eir color (creating a chain reaction).
What are the Kirby elements, then? Well, Kirby dances around in the middle of the screen and series staple characters make appearances. So it's all visual stuff. But if you like Puyo Puyo, and you like Kirby, there is nothing wrong with that.
8 Kirby Tilt 'N' Tumble
In Kirby's Tilt 'N' Tumble, the game cartridge itself has accelerometers that determine the angle you are holding your GameBoy at. You will guide Kirby through the world by tilting the console in the desired direction. You can also flick your wrists to make Kirby hop. It is a simple concept, but it is extremely novel.
Unfortunately, this is a game that yo🌟u need to play on a GameBoy, as on the Advance the🦩 accelerometers are reversed (making the controls pretty unintuitive). If you still have an old GameBoy Color kicking around, it is worth a go.
7 Kirby's Canvas Curse
Canvas Curse is an inventive Kirby title that implements the DS's touch screen better than most. Use the touchpad to draw a rail system for Kirby to ride. However, be careful, as you only have a limited supply of paint to create these rails, and you will need to load back up by planting your two feet on the ground.
Kirby has his copy abilities in this title as well, which really helps add to the Kirby feel. This engaging little game 🏅is an absolu꧃te necessity for any DS game collector.
6 ꧅ Kirby And The Rainbow Curse🌃
There is very little distance between Rainbow Curse and its predecessor. The powerups in Canvas Curse feel bet𓃲ter than the abilities do here. But the core gameplay is generally pretty similar.
What ultimately helps Rainbow Curse stand out is its graphical style. Rainbow Curse does for the Wii-U what Epic Yarn did for the Wii. Just with clay instead of yarn. This is an absolutely stunning game. The only downside to the presentation is that you are going to be viewing most of it through the Wii-U's tablet controller.
