Kirby Canvas Curse - DS

Title: Kirby Canvas Curse

Platform: Nintendo DS

Region: NTSC (Region Free)

Condition: cartridge only

Following their popular YOSHI TOUCH AND GO title, Nintendo has released KIRBY: Canvas Curse for the Nintendo DS. Players won't need to touch the control pad or the buttons here: the game is entirely controlled by using the stylus and the touch screen. Players draw lines, bridges, and walls to maneuver Kirby or to protect him from enemies. Kirby spends a lot of time as a ball in the game while players draw bridges over pits, walls to change his direction, and barriers to protect him from enemy attacks. Different colored lines have different properties as well, so players will have to be quick in changing colors. When Kirby comes unrolled, he can use a dash attack or copy enemy special moves. The game is broken up in to several different worlds, each comprised of three levels. At the end of each world, players select one of three bosses to battle. Players have the choice of the same three bosses for each world, but the more a player fights a boss, the stronger that boss becomes. Once the main game is completed, there are several other quests. Rainbow Run lets players replay sections of previous levels with different mission goals and rewards players with medals that can be spent at the item shop or used to unlock secrets like sound tests. KIRBY: Canvas Curse makes full use of the touch screen abilities of the DS, and players who enjoy using the stylus controls will find the game a fresh challenge.
