How it plays
How does Kirby & the Amazing Mirror play?
The game uses a side-view perspective across a large interconnected map. Kirby must locate four major areas, defeat bosses, recover the shattered pieces of the Amazing Mirror, and eventually confront the threat behind the corruption.
Kirby walks, jumps, floats, inhales enemies, and copies many enemy abilities. Warp doors and cannons connect distant parts of the map, while switches and hidden rooms reward backtracking. In single-player mode, three computer-controlled Kirbys can be summoned; up to four players can cooperate with compatible multiplayer equipment.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Kirby & the Amazing Mirror?
Explore each connected area carefully rather than rushing toward the next boss. Mark unexplored doors mentally, because many routes become useful only after obtaining a new Copy Ability or triggering a switch.
Use the map and warp points to reduce backtracking. Keep a versatile ability such as Beam, Sword, or Bomb when possible, and summon helper Kirbys for difficult battles or crowded rooms.
