One day, an evildoer with a magic cane appears and splits Kirby™ into 10
pieces. Kirby sets off on a journey to return to his original form.
Players use the touch screen to control a mass of Kirby characters in a
new and novel way. Swipe the touch screen to launch them in a mass
attack against enemies, then tap the enemies into submission.

Players use the stylus on the touch screen to control a swarm of up to
10 Kirby characters at once. They can help players defeat enemies and
find treasure. The number of Kirby characters under a player’s control
is important, as some challenges require a specific number of Kirby
characters in order to be solved. When the number of Kirby characters
is increased, players can gain the upper hand.

Players can control each Kirby character in a variety of ways using a
stylus on the touch screen. For example, a Kirby character can be
launched into the air with a flick of the stylus, or players can make
a swarm of Kirby characters dash to a given point by tapping on that
spot on the touch screen multiple times.

By collecting medals hidden throughout the various stages, players can
unlock a wide variety of additional mini-games, each with its own
distinctive challenges.
