'''''Kirby Mass Attack''''' is a spin-off ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in 2011. The central premise revolves around using the Nintendo DS stylus to direct and guide up to ten otherwise small and helpless mini-[[Kirby]]s, who were split from the original by the game's villain [[Necrodeus]] in order to make the pink puffball easier to defeat. Instead of controlling the Kirbys directly, the player has to use the stylus to flick them around, tell them where to run, and drag them over obstacles when needed. A lot of micromanagement is needed to keep the Kirbys from perishing as they make their way through the stages, and if any are lost, the Kirbys will need to collect fruit in order to create new ones, with the player losing if all the Kirbys are defeated. The objective is to lead them through the stages until encountering and defeating Necrodeus at the very end, so that Kirby may become his whole self again.

In addition to the main story and its expansive stages, collections of [[Enemy|enemies]], and variety of [[device]]s, [[hazard]]s, and other gimmicks, ''Kirby Mass Attack'' also features a very large collection of unlockable [[Sub-Game]]s, which offer novel ways to play and tons of references to other ''Kirby'' games and even other games outside of the ''Kirby'' series. ''Kirby Mass Attack'' also features a very detailed hint system, which comes in the form of [[Daroach]] and his [[Daroach's Airship|airship]]. Daroach's main motive for helping the Kirbys is so they can collect the various [[medal]]s hidden throughout the game for him.

''Kirby Mass Attack''{{'}}s name was first revealed in the 267th issue of Nintendo Power (May 2011). The game was one of the Nintendo DS titles shown at E3 2011. ''Kirby Mass Attack'' was first released in Japan on August 4, 2011, and was released in North America a month later, then in Europe and Australia roughly a month after that. It would be the last ''Kirby'' game to release for the Nintendo DS, and the last one to feature primarily [[sprite]]-based graphics. ''Kirby Mass Attack'' would go on to sell roughly 1.06 million copies, making it the lowest in the list of ''Kirby'' games that have sold at least a million units.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2012/120427e.pdf#page=7 Nintendo's list of games that sold over a million units, published in 2012]</ref>

==Plot==
{{Quote|Necrodeus split Kirby into 10 copies of himself, each having only a fraction of Kirby's greatness!|Opening [[Narrator|narration]] in ''Kirby Mass Attack''}}
The premise of ''Kirby Mass Attack'' involves [[Kirby]] flying down to explore a novel area in the south of [[Popstar]] called the [[Popopo Islands]], only to be attacked by a dark wizard named [[Necrodeus]]: the leader of a marauding band of skeletal creatures called the [[Skull Gang]]. While Kirby is taking a nap, Necrodeus appears out of nowhere and zaps Kirby with his magical staff, splitting the pink puffball into ten weaker copies of himself. Necrodeus then proceeds to pick off the Kirbys one-by-one in hopes of snuffing out the planet's greatest hero so he can blot the light of Popstar out forever. However, one of these smaller Kirbys manages to escape, and from there, rendezvouses with [[Kirby's heroic heart|his heroic heart]] which popped out of him when he was split. The heart - which serves as the player's cursor in gameplay - leads this Kirby into the wilderness so that he can regain his numbers and eventually restore himself to normal.
[[File:KMA Kirby using Rainbow Medals.png|thumb|left|260px|Kirby using [[Rainbow Medal]]s to shine a beam of light through [[Necro Nebula]].]] 

As Kirby ventures through each of the Popopo Islands and regains his numbers, he is repeatedly attacked by lesser members of the Skull Gang who try to carry Kirbys away and destroy them. As they progress, the Kirbys receive advice from [[Daroach]] - the leader of the [[Squeaks]] - who travels with his band in [[Daroach's Airship|an airship]] they built. Daroach tells the Kirbys that they need to collect [[medal]]s in each island they visit, and pay particular mind for special Rainbow Medals, which - if gathered - can be used to pierce the gloom surrounding the Skull Gang's homeworld of [[Necro Nebula]]. After visiting each island and defeating the Skull Gang's influence there, the Kirbys manage to collect all of these medals, and then are able to infiltrate the craggy lifeless homeworld of Necrodeus and his minions. 

When the Kirbys arrive at Necrodeus' palace, they find his staff - the one he used to split them apart - and try to claim it so the spell can be undone, but Necrodeus shows up and swallows the staff, forcing the Kirbys to defeat him if they want it. After a long and grueling struggle - part of which takes place in a zero-gravity environment - Necrodeus is soundly beaten and relinquishes the staff as he is banished to oblivion. Using the staff's magic, the Kirbys are finally able to recombine into one being. This done, Kirby takes to his [[Warp Star]] and returns home to Popstar, but not before pondering for a moment about how the darkness surrounding his home makes it shine all the brighter.

==Gameplay==
[[File:KMA Green Grounds Stage 6 screenshot 04.png|thumb|200px|The player can flick the Kirbys to make them jump.]]
''Kirby Mass Attack'' is - like the main ''Kirby'' series games - a side-scrolling 2D platformer that tasks Kirby to reach the end of stages filled with various enemies, obstacles, and occasionally boss fights. However, much like ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' before it, the core gameplay is very different from that of the main series. Due to having been split into ten weaker copies, the Kirbys are no longer able to [[hover]], [[inhale]], or use [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]]. Instead, their main means of attack is by latching onto enemies and pummeling them, or by being tossed at enemies and hazards to impact them, in a very similar manner to how [[pikipedia:Pikmin family|Pikmin]] fight. In another similarity to the ''Pikmin'' games, the player does not control the Kirbys directly, but instead plays the role of a leader in the form of [[Kirby's heroic heart]], which is a star-shaped object that acts as a cursor. This heart is controlled by means of the Nintendo DS stylus, and tapping places on the screen tells the Kirbys where to go. Other key actions include tapping and holding down to drag the Kirbys along a magical line to get them around hazards, or tapping and quickly flicking a Kirby to throw him in the direction indicated.

In another departure from the main ''Kirby'' series, ''Kirby Mass Attack'' does not have a traditional [[stamina|health meter]] for the Kirbys, but instead gives each one two hit points, and shows their state of health by their body color: Healthy Kirbys are pink, wounded Kirbys are blue, and KO'd Kirbys are gray. Wounded Kirbys can be restored to full health by tossing them through a Recovery Ring, which can be found at various points in stages. KO'd Kirbys will slowly flutter away on angel's wings and can be saved and returned to blue status if they are captured by a living Kirby before they are gone. However, some hazards such as [[Skully]]s and [[Gruegloom]]s may destroy Kirbys they manage to catch without any chance of rescue, while other hazards such as [[crusher]]s will KO Kirbys regardless of their health status. In the case that any Kirbys are lost, the player can replenish their numbers by having the remaining one(s) collect [[Fruit]]. Collecting 100 points worth of fruit will automatically add a new Kirby to the team, or give a score bonus if there are already ten. If all 10 Kirbys are lost during a stage, a [[Game Over]] occurs, and the stage has to be replayed from the beginning (there is no [[1-Up|extra life system]] in ''Kirby Mass Attack'').

The main story mode of ''Kirby Mass Attack'' takes the Kirbys through over 40 extensive stages, each of which has a wide array of unique enemies, devices, hazards, and other gimmicks (many of which are unique to this game). As the Kirbys progress through each stage, their main objective is to collect the [[medal]]s hidden throughout. One medal in each stage is designated as a Rainbow Medal, and collecting all of these is required to access the final level of [[Necro Nebula]] and complete the game. Collecting medals is also how the player unlocks extra game features, including the [[Sub-Game]]s, [[Survival Rush|boss rush mode]], and other menu options like the [[Theater]].

===Rankings ===
At the end of each stage, the player is graded based on how well the Kirbys were handled, which is separate from the medals. The rankings are as follows:
*'''Gold Star''' - No damage was taken
*'''Silver Star''' - No Kirbys were KO'd (put into angel state)
*'''Bronze Star''' - No Kirbys were lost
*'''No star''' - Kirbys were lost or a shortcut was used

While these rankings have no direct effect on gameplay, getting a Gold Star on every stage is required for [[100% completion]]. This means that to earn this distinction, the player has to clear each individual stage and boss fight without any Kirbys being harmed once, which is among the most difficult tasks any ''Kirby'' game directly imposes on the player.

==Levels==
There are five levels in the main story mode of ''Kirby Mass Attack''. The first four take place in an area in the southern regions of [[Popstar]] called the [[Popopo Islands]]. The fifth level - [[Necro Nebula]] - does not appear until every [[Medal#Kirby_Mass_Attack|Rainbow Medal]] is collected in the prior four levels.

==Nintendo eShop description==
''Gather a mob of Kirby characters, and then lead them on a crazy adventure where nothing can stand in your way! You can send Kirbys swarming over your enemies, fling them into the air to hit flying floes{{sic}}, and even take on challenges of strength! Be sure to collect medals hidden throughout various stages to unlock minigames.''

==Trivia==
*Often when performing actions, or when entering doors while still eligible for a Gold Star, the mini-Kirbys shout "Poyo", which was a vocalization Kirby often repeated in place of actual speech in the anime, ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''. This is among the few ''Kirby'' games where that is the case, as most other games where Kirby "talks" has him shouting variations of "Hi!"
**In addition, the Sub-Games of ''Kirby Mass Attack'' feature a number of characters otherwise exclusive to the anime who make cameo appearances. These include [[Chef Shiitake]], [[Max Flexer]], [[Escargoon]], [[Captain Waddle Doo]], and the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]].
*This is the only game in the series where Kirby can drown [[Water (environment)|underwater]] (but can still breathe in space).
*This game has a very large amount of unused content left in the game's files. More details can be found [[tcrf:Kirby Mass Attack|here]].
**The game's internal codename is <code>wadogo</code>, although filenames also use <code>WADO</code> frequently. The Japanese name for Waddle Dee is ワドルディ or ''wadorudi'', with "wado" being a shortening of this name.
**Additionally, a number of sound effects of Kirby's voice have internal names of <code>SE_WANYA_DO</code>, <code>SE_WANYA_RE</code>, <code>SE_WANYA_MI</code>, and so on up to <code>SE_WANYA_HI_DO</code>, suggesting that they may have been "wanya" vocalizations earlier in development (similar to the "wanya" vocalizations used in Kirby Brawlball for the Waddle Dee elements on the board).
