Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

The cute, puffy little guy with the very large appetite is back in an all-new adventure on the N64! Join Kirby and his pals as they fight to save the peaceful people of Ripple Star from the vile and sinister Dark Matter. Kirby isn't just going to get by on his cute looks, he's got all his powers from the previous titles like the ability to inhale his enemies to acquire their attacks, then unleash them right back at 'em in brilliant and powerful new ways. All this and more awaits you in Kirby's bid to round up six pieces of a shattered magical crystal in order to set things right.

Kirby's first 3-D adventure is also his Nintendo 64 debut, and it finds the always-versatile hero battling a new enemy called Dark Matter. Dark Matter is after a distant land's powerful crystal, but a young fairy named Ribbon attempts to save it by escaping with the gem to Dream Land. Now the crystal has been broken, and it's scattered around the world. Take control of Kirby and help him journey across six worlds, battling a wide variety of enemies and challenging bosses, as he tries to collect all 100 pieces of the shattered crystal. Along the way, you'll use Kirby's trademark copying ability to use enemies' strengths against them. Not only that, but try combining any two abilities to create a brand-new one that is usually stronger than the original. Throw in three exciting multiplayer minigames, and you've got a package of which even King Dedede would be proud. Fans of Kirby and action games with bright, colorful graphics should vacuum this one up.
