Dream Land’s been drained of all its colour in Kirby and the
Rainbow Paintbrush for Wii U! Explore a wonderful world of clay
in a colourful platforming adventure, using the Wii U GamePad
touch screen to draw rainbow ropes for Kirby to roll along, or to
block obstacles and enemies. Use every skill at your disposal to
hunt down loads of collectibles and help bring Kirby’s homeland
back to its bright and beautiful best!
It’s just another relaxing day for Kirby and his Waddle Dee
friends, until a portal opens up and a mischievous villain called
Claycia appears and steals away the colours, stopping Dream Land
still. Luckily, a magical paintbrush known as Elline also emerges
from the portal and restores Kirby and his friends to their usual
colourful selves. Always ready for adventure, the heroes go after
Claycia in hot pursuit.
Tap and draw on the touch screen to travel through each stage.
Kirby, in ball form, rolls along rainbow ropes in whichever
direction you draw. Sketch loops for Kirby to zoom round to
increase his pace, or tap him to unleash a burst of speed,
sending him smashing through enemies or blocks with a Star Dash!
You can only draw a limited a of rainbow ropes at any one
time, though, so keep an eye on your ink gauge!
Kirby can completely transform into a variety of vehicles at
certain times. Use rainbow ropes in different ways depending on
your form: guide Kirby Rocket’s flight path, steer Kirby
Submarine’s torpedoes at your targets, or direct Kirby Tank’s
fire and forward movement with a combination of taps and rainbow
ropes!
While the player using the Wii U GamePad controls Kirby and draws
rainbow ropes, up to three additional players can drop in and
drop out of the fun at any time, using Wii Remotes or Wii U Pro
Controllers to play as Waddle Dees. Waddle Dees can run along
rainbow ropes, collect items, attack enemies and pick up Kirby if
he needs a helping hand.
There’s loads to find in each level, so search every corner and
scrape away at every bit of clay to uncover everything, like
hidden Treasure Chests containing music tracks and clay figurines
of familiar Kirby characters. And if you really want to put your
skills to the test, try your hand at Challenge Mode. Conquer
one-minute challenges, in which four Treasure Chests have to be
grabbed within 15 seconds each, or attempt to get 12 Treasure
Chests in a row in survival challenges – miss one and you’ll have
to start again!
In certain stages, you can also tap a compatible amiibo in to
give Kirby new looks and extra powers. The Kirby amiibo lets you
use Star Dash whenever you want, the King Dedede amiibo gives
additional bars, while the Meta Knight amiibo boosts
Kirby’s dash speed, allowing him to charge right through certain
enemies!
