Story
One day, Kirby and all of his pals from other adventures were celebrating the pink ball's birthday, until a sorceress known as Chromila tries to steal all the colors of the world, but thanks to magic, the Grasslands stay colored, now the whole team has to activate the Rainbow Orbs scaterred through Popstar and get the colors back for the entire universe.
Gameplay
This is a basic Kirby game, the big difference between the previous games is that there aren't just 4 characters you and your friends can play as, all of Kirby's buddies were invited and all of them can be selected by the players, from Gooey to Prince Fluff, the gang's all here. If you use Gamepad as Kirby, you can store Item stars and Ability trophies
Gamepad Controls
To make this easy, I will only cover Kirby's basic moveset
D-pad/Circle pad = Move/Crouch/Look up
D-pad/Circle pad L/R x2 = Dash
A = Jump
B = Inhale/Shoot star
Y = Use a stored item
X = Drop ability

Wii Remote Controls
