There are also new friends to be made who bring about several smaller challenges such as finding a certain number of characters in a stage within a time limit, carrying a character to a new location, and more.Īlso, Kirby's Epic Yarn follows the seemingly current trend from Nintendo of the game playing largely as an old-school side-scrolling title a la New Super Mario Bros. Each "world" in the game features a boss battle and extra stages should the player meet the right challenges in item collection. As well as the item collection, each stage contains three hidden secrets for players to hunt. However, taking damage causes Kirby to lose precious items (colored beads for instance) that the player collects throughout the levels to, in effect, earn higher scores, medals, and to unlock more challenges in the game. Like the Lego games or later Wario Land titles, Kirby really doesn't die.
Kirby floats by transforming into a parachute, flies as a UFO, drives as a car, and features a wide range of other transformations including an anvil, a dolphin, a mole, a dune buggy, a rocket, a robot, musical notes, and more. While Kirby no longer swallows enemies to steal their powers, he hasn't slowed in the least bit where transformation and unique powers are concerned. Stages and puzzles are heavily designed around the fabric themes and aesthetics, such as enemies being made out of yarn, and puzzle elements involving zippers and buttons.Īs mentioned, Kirby has lost his typical powers, and instead of using his formidable lungs as a weapon, he uses a whip (obviously) made of yarn. Where Mario was designed around a flat paper theme, and Yoshi lived though a living story-book (in a sense, a variation on a paper theme), Kirby ventures into strange new territory being made of fabric and yarn. Kirby's Epic Yarn follows previous Nintendo franchises Paper Mario and Yoshi's Story in its creative design around physical real-life aesthetics. After meeting and saving Fluff, a prince, Kirby and his companion decide to work together to "stitch-up" Patch Land in the wake of the destruction caused by Yin-Yarn. As a result, Kirby has lost his signature inhalation and power absorption abilities. Everything in this new land, including the heroic marshmallow Kirby, is made of yarn and fabric. The plot of Kirby's Epic Yarn largely revolves around Nintendo's cutesy cream-puff being dragged out of his normal world by an evil sorcerer named Yin-Yarn and trapped in a fabric-based world called Patch Land.
