'''''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''''' is a main-series [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' game]] released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] on April 15th, 2004 in Japan, on July 2nd, 2004 in Europe, and on October 18th, 2004 in North America. It was produced by [[HAL Laboratory]], published by [[Nintendo]], and developed by Flagship and Dimps. ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' looks and plays much like its predecessor ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', but features an expansive and non-linear interconnected world with bosses that can be defeated in a number of different orders. The game also features four [[Kirby (species)|Kirbys]] [[Colors|of various color]] which can be played by up to four different players simultaneously, making this title the first main series game which can be played with four players in the main game. The different Kirbys can wander off in separate directions and assist each-other using their [[Cell Phone]]s.

The name of the game is a pun on "maze", as the game sports a labyrinth-like level layout different from other traditional 2D Kirby games.


As it is based on ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' uses much of the same [[sprite]]-work, enemies, [[Copy Ability|abilities]], and mechanics as its predecessor. However, many additions and a few cuts were made to these categories. Included in the additions are new enemies like [[Chip]], [[Roly-Poly]], [[Golem]], and others, some of which are quite complex in their ability to interact with Kirby. New abilities include [[Cupid]], [[Missile]], [[Mini]], and a few returning favorites from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' such as [[Fighter]] and [[Cook]]. Due to the open nature of the game, most of the area [[Boss]]es can be fought out of order, and aside from [[Kracko]], they are all new (although some are heavily based on older bosses).

*The term "amazing" in the tile could be a pun on the word "maze", as it is shown that the entire Mirror World is one maze that Kirby needs to guide himself through to find the Mirror Shards to rebuild the Dimension Mirror.

**Later, in the ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' [[Extra Mode]] [[Dededetour!]], however, King Dedede does take part in a sense by traveling through the Dimension Mirror and battling [[Dark Meta Knight]]. This might be a reference to his lack of appearance in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''.
