Played on Wii
The game is played with the Wii Remote held sideways. Differing from other games in the Kirby series, Kirby no longer has the ability to inhale enemies, copy abilities, or fly. He instead uses a whip-like ability to attack enemies, able to wind them up into a ball of yarn and throw them. Kirby can also use his whip to activate mechanisms, such as zips and pulleys, and swing on buttons. He also no longer floats in the air by holding his breath like in previous games, instead gliding in the form of a parachute. Kirby can also transform into a car while dashing, and turn into a submarine whilst underwater. Certain areas give Kirby unique transformations, such as a giant missile-launching robot, a turbo-powered buggy, a UFO, and a train that travels on tracks drawn by the Wii Remote. A second player can join in, playing as Prince Fluff, who plays identically to Kirby.
Kirby can collect beads scattered throughout each level, with medals earned for collecting enough beads before the end of the level, which in turn can unlock more challenging levels in each world. Kirby does not have health or extra lives, but will lose some of his beads upon receiving damage or falling into bottomless pits. Beads can be used to purchase furniture and wallpaper for Kirby's apartment, which the player can customise to their liking. Additional furniture, as well as music tracks, can be unlocked by finding treasure chests hidden in each level. By decorating other apartments with the right furniture, new tenants will move in, opening up bonus challenges such as time trials.
