Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, known as Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush in British English, is the sole Kirby title released for the Wii U in 2015. The game is distinct in that everything is rendered with a clay motif, with the opening cutscene even being an actual claymation. Known as a spiritual successor to Kirby: Canvas Curse, the game's genre is called a "touch platformer", and involves guiding Kirby through stages by drawing lines for him to ride upon to help him avoid hazards, collect items, and battle enemies. Almost all gameplay is handled by use of the Wii U GamePad's touch screen, with additional players joining in using an external controller such as a Wii remote.

In Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Kirby is called to adventure when his home planet Popstar has all its color (and hence, life) stolen by Claycia - a talented magical sculptor gone bad - who uses the color to build the seven distinct worlds of Seventopia. Claycia's former friend Elline finds and repaints Kirby and Waddle Dee so they can help her stop Claycia's machinations and try to knock some sense into her. The three battle their way through each world of Seventopia and confront Claycia in her palace in Purple Fortress, where they soon realize that she is being controlled by a malevolent entity named Dark Crafter. After freeing Claycia from this monster, Kirby chases after and defeats Dark Crafter, and is thanked by Claycia who restores Popstar to its old vibrancy.
