It's up to you to blast Kirby's adversaries in the most thunderous puzzler around. Strategically stack the color-coded Blobs and watch them meld together. A colossal explosion will cause a massive bombardment of Boulders to cascade upon your opponent! Rise above these grizzled veterans and claim the prized Dream Fountain Cup! Help Kirby bury his opponents in a landslide victory! - - - - From the back of Kirby's Avalanche Box ------------------ 2. Controller Info ------------------ Directional Pad - The only directional keys you'll be needing are LEFT, RIGHT and DOWN. LEFT and RIGHT will move your string blobs... LEFT or RIGHT ;) Down will accelerate them to drop faster, which will become a must in the later levels. A,B,X,Y - These all switch around the colors of your blobs. Start - Pauses the game, or enters your choice. Select - Selects stuff ;) ----------------- 3. Emulator Users ----------------- Being one myself, there are a few things I have noticed and haven't been able to figure out. 1. When making SPCs from the game, for some weird reason I can't get them to play on any SPC player. Does anyone know why? 2. When you beat the game, you get an option to use Player #2's Controller by holding buttons and resetting.. but can you do this on the emulator? I've tried and I don't know how. (I use ZSNES). ---------------- 4. Odds and Ends ---------------- - In the U.K, Kirby's Avalanche is named Kirby's Ghost Trap. Why the name was changed... just one of those weird Nintendo things. - Kirby's Avalanche is a clone from the famous Puyo Puyo game. ------------ 5. Game Info ------------ a. menu _______ On the menu, you have several options: Competition: This will take you to a 3 item selection screen, where you can choose what challenge you'd like. Unless you choose the training stage (which only has 3 levels), you'll go right to the competition. - Don't sweat it though, you get as many continues as you need for each boss... that is until you turn off the system. Options: Options galore! A sound test, sound options.. the usual. Practice: Just a little space in the game where you can test your chain reactions. Pretty challenging (I've only gotten to Level 15). 2 Player Mode: Here you can play against someone and slam each other to blob oblivion. b. boulders ___________ There are 3 different types of boulders you can get: Normal, Small Sized - These will send only 1 boulder down on your opponents side. Medium Boulders - This will send down one entire row (6) on your opponents side. Red, Big Boulders - This will send a big truck load of 36 boulders crashing down! When you get one of these, your opponent is pretty much.. well out of luck. Purple, Big Boulder - I think these exist, but I can't really remember. I want to say there is, but it's after connecting a ludicrous amount of blobs. ----------------- 6. Character Info ----------------- There are a total of 16 different stages. While I can tell you the stages and how challenging the opponents are, it all depends on your skill. This game is really not like a tetris type game. If requires a lot more thinking and consequence. It does take practice, and you can't just connect the blobs for single reactions... and that definetely won't help you win the game... especially in those higher levels! If you really are having trouble, use the practice mode, or try the Beginning Stage with Waddle Dee over and over. That will give you plenty of practice. The character info just tells you the dialog of speech between Kirby and the characters, and challenge rating for an average player. Ratings are 1-10 Beginning Stage --------------- Stage 1 - Waddle Dee ____________________ Challenge: * Kirby: Hi, Waddle Dee! Are you ready?!? Waddle Dee: Umm, can we just walk together? The forest scares me... Kirby: Sorry, rules are rules! Stage 2 - Bronto Burt _____________________ Challenge: ** Bronto Burt: Ah HA!!! I have found my next victim!! Kirby: Bronto Burt you bully, the pleasure will be all mine. Bronto Burt: Shut up and play! Stage 3 - Waddle Doo ____________________ Challenge: ** Waddle Doo: You did not treat Waddle Dee with respect... Now I, Waddle Doo will repay you in kind! Kirby: I don't think so!! After you beat Waddle Doo, the screen comes up with King Dedede telling you to try the harder levels. King Dedede: Congratulations! You are a fast learner. I underestimated your skill... MAYBE! King Dedede: Now hurry through the forest and join us at the Dream Fountain for the serious competition. Normal Stage ------------ Stage 4 - Poppy Brother Senior ______________________________ Challenge: ** Poppy: Hi, Kirby! Want a bomb sandwich? Kirby: I'll breathe in your pathetic bombs and send them right back at you! Poppy: Stalemate... Okay, let's compete in a quick game of Avalanche! Stage 5 - Whispy Woods ______________________ Challenge: *** Whispy: Please don't treat on my roots, it would not be a wise decision. Kirby: I feel like some apple pie! Stage 6 - Kabu ______________ Challenge: *** Kirby: Who blocked the path with this boulder? Kabu: Your road to glory ends here. Kirby: OH!! Hi Kabu, are you ready for a game of Avalanche? After you beat Kabu, you'll go directly to the hard stage... Hard Stage ---------- Stage 7 - Broom Hatter ______________________ Challenge: *** BH: Oh what a mess! Must I clean up this entire forest?
