Kirby Mass Attack

Kirby Mass Attack can best be described as Kirby meets Lemmings. Kirby gets split up into 10 smaller (and somehow more adorable) Kirbys that have to work together to destroy enemies, open paths, and get food. It is also the successor of Kirby: Canvas Curse in some ways, and contains unlockable subgames in a variety of genres (vertical shoot-'em-up? J-RPG?).

Unused Palette Swap Feature
It seems you could originally modify Kirby's color, like in Kirby Squeak Squad, but this feature was scrapped fairly early. The only remains, those of the menu for that feature, were left untranslated. Available colors would be indigo, cyan, grey, light pink, pink, red, orange, yellow, blue-green, green, purple, dark grey, and beige.

Unused Enemies
Block Dragon, Giga Clanksprout, Hammer Knight, Shuffler, Pytago, Toroppon, and UFO have unfinished shading.

Carryon, Rocketon, Tortletummy, and Spiky have more complete shading.

Unused Subgame Elements
There are even some unused elements in the subgames, particularly Strato Patrol EOS, which was to have Plasma Wisp as an enemy and King Dedede as a playable character.

Unused Hint


Can't grab on...

While hanging on to a star, you cannot grab on to other things.

Removed Enemy Credits
The Japanese version has an enemy credits sequence with 35 pictures and Kirby having a picnic that was, for whatever reason, dummied out from all subsequent versions. The untranslated graphics are still in the game files.



Graphical Changes
In addition, there are some aesthetic differences in the subgames, such as the game over screen in Strato Patrol EOS.
