About Kirby Super Star
That awful King Dedede is at it again—h'es stolen all the food in Dream
Land! It's up to Kirby to get it back and ultimately save Popstar from
being taken over! Our round, pink hero will have to journey through six
main games and two minigames, finishing with the ultimate showdown in
the Arena. Each game offers its own story and variation of platforming
action, as well as unique environments and an assortment of enemies.
Swallowing an enemy allows Kirby to copy the abilities of that enemy,
granting him the power to perform special attacks and giving him a new
hat to don. Kirby can also give up an acquired ability and use it to
create a helper. The helper will follow Kirby around and automatically
fight as his ally—or offer a second player the chance to join in the
game by controlling it. There's never a dull moment as Kirby dashes,
flies, and fights!
This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. We hope you'll enjoy the new features (including off-TV play) that have been added to this title. See more Virtual Console games for Wii U.
