Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is Kirby's second and final GBA adventure, taking on a Metroidvania type of gameplay similar to Kirby Super Star's "Great Cave Offensive" mode and featuring three Kirby partners who aren't very helpful.

It was released for the 3DS Virtual Console in December 2011 (with no difference aside from lack of multiplayer functionality), as part of the 3DS Ambassador Program.

Debug Room


One small room is hidden in the game. Use code and you'll be transported there after you lose a life.



This room uses a similar tileset to Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land's debug rooms. This was probably used as a debug room earlier in development, but it's empty now.

Placeholder Ability Icons
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror was planned to be localized in Europe since its development, therefore the Japanese and possibly the US versions contain several placeholder graphics where the right ones in the European versions would be, some partially translated.

Starting with the German ability icons, most are either the same from Nightmare in Dreamland, or copies of the Japanese ones. First at, there are also graphics for the Star Rod. Taken from Nightmare in Dreamland. Then at, there's a completely unused "Kirby" icon. These are repeated along the different language placeholder graphics, in place where the different hurt icons should be.

Version Differences
The Missile ability deals different amounts of damage depending on the game version. It deals 6 (direct hit) and 2 (explosion) on the Japanese version, versus 4 (direct hit) and 1 (explosion) on the English version.

In the Japanese version, if you use the mobile phone before dying from falling into a pit or by touching dangerous surfaces (such as spikes or fire), the game will lock up. Instead of using the mobile phone, getting an ability roulette (when one of the other Kirbys uses Magic and the outcome is that everyone gets an ability roulette) will work the same way. This glitch was fixed in the English version.
