How it plays
How does Kirby & the Amazing Mirror play?
The game is viewed from a side-scrolling perspective. Kirby explores the interconnected Mirror World, searches for boss rooms, and defeats the bosses guarding the fragments of the shattered mirror.
Kirby can walk, slide, jump, float, inhale enemies, swallow them, and copy certain abilities. Warp stars connect distant areas, while switches and hidden routes open new paths. Up to four players can control Kirby characters in multiplayer with compatible hardware.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Kirby & the Amazing Mirror?
Explore each room carefully rather than rushing toward the next boss. Mark unopened doors and return after gaining abilities or activating switches.
Use the Copy ability menu strategically. Flying, cutting, burning, and other abilities can reveal routes or make particular bosses easier. Call the other Kirbys when available, especially during crowded fights.
Keep health items for boss rooms when possible, and use warp points to shorten repeated trips through the connected map.
