Stamp Rally
“ | I even made a Stamp Rally. It's super fun! Try out the various subgame attractions, and collect a bunch of stamps as you go. | ” | — Manager Magolor introducing the Stamp Rally in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
Stamp Rally is a feature in Merry Magoland in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, wherein rewards are given for getting a certain number of stamps, earned by playing Sub-Games or finding Hidden Magolor stickers in the park. Stamp Rally appears to be the primary way that Souvenirs and Dress-Up Masks are obtained.
Each Stamp Rally card has 15 spots for stamps which forms the same line, spacing, and number of rewards, with a minor reward at the seventh spot and a major reward at the last one. They come with different kinds of illustrations at the top: one depicts Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, Magolor, and some visiting Waddle Dees carrying Dress-Up Masks of Magolor, King Dedede, and Meta Knight, another depicts Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle dee visiting Souvenir Shop Waddle Dee, while Magolor accompanies them.[1] The only real visual differences between the cards aside from these illustrations are the background and line colors and the card number. At this time, it is not known how many of these cards there are, if there is an upper limit. However, in the Demo version of the game, the number stops increasing at "No. 05", and just repeats from there with a different color palette each time.
It appears that the minor reward is always a single Souvenir, while the major reward is typically a Dress-Up Mask. After all Dress-Up Masks are obtained, the major reward is two Souvenirs instead.
Stamp rewards
Playing Sub-Games is the main means of earning stamps for the Stamp Rally. The following are some known methods of getting stamps, and how many stamps each task rewards:
- Performance Bonus! - Worth an unclear amount of stamps.
- Times played - Worth 1 stamp per play.
- You played for the first time! - Worth 12 stamps.
- You found a Hidden Magolor! - Worth 5 stamps.
Trivia
- It is possible to skip the manual count-out of stamp adding, wherein the game will just display how many souvenirs the player received. This is particularly handy if the player earned a very large number of stamps in one session.
