A '''Big Switch''' (otherwise known as a '''Secret Switch''') is a very large (usually red) button which is typically found in hidden or hard-to-reach places. Unlike their [[Switch|smaller counterparts]], a Big Switch - when pressed - usually unlocks areas in the main hub of its respective area, and then disappears. [[Kirby]] comes across them in several of [[Kirby (series)|his adventures]], beginning with ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and pressing all of them is often required for [[100% completion]] of the games they appear in, but not required to complete the game otherwise.

Line 39: Line 111:
There are a small number of stages which require Big Switches to be pressed in different stages to access. Normally the switches are found at the end of the stages they appear in after going through a Goal Door with a ? on it, but this is not always the case. In [[Volcano Valley - Stage 10]] for instance, the Kirbys have to chase some [[Space Oohroo]]s who stole the switch by building a spaceship to go after them. The switch, however, actually is not able to be jumped upon until [[Volcano Valley - Stage 11|the next stage of the island]].

In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', Big Switches can be found in the rest areas in [[Dededetour!]] and bear a special design that includes King Dedede's emblem. Pressing one completely restores [[King Dedede]]'s [[health]] and saves the game's progress up to that point.

In ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', two big switches appear, each attached to the [[Bastron]]'s self-destruct sequence in the stages [[Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff]] and [[Back to the Battleship]]. Unlike in other games, the switches in these stages need to be pressed in order to progress through the stages they appear in.

Big Switches return in this title after a lengthy absence from the main series. They can be found in a few stages. Pressing them is necessary to unlock extra stages and [[Dream Palace]]s, and is also necessary for [[100% completion]].
Big Switches similar to their original design and function finally return in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', and can be found in a few stages. Pressing them is necessary to unlock extra stages and [[Dream Palace]]s, and is also necessary for [[100% completion]].


Unlike in previous titles, Big Switches can be pressed again, but doing so does not unlock more extra stages. Instead, when pressed, the team is healed and some items (usually [[Picture Piece]]s and [[Point Star]]s) are dispensed. There are specific Big Switches in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] that also yield a [[Dream Palace|Dream Rod]] when pressed.

There is a Big Switch in [[Extra Planet δ]], though it does not unlock a new stage. Instead, it causes a statue featuring Kirby and all the [[Dream Friend]]s to rise out of the ground in the area where the switch is present.
