Kirby: Canvas Curse facts for kids

Kirby: Canvas Curse is a fun platform game for the Nintendo DS console. In Japan, it's called Touch! Kirby (タッチ!カービィ, Tacchi! Kābī). In other parts of the world, like Europe, it's known as Kirby: Power Paintbrush.

This game was made by HAL Laboratories and published by Nintendo. It stars the famous character Kirby. Your mission is to help Kirby defeat an evil witch named Drawcia. What makes this game special is that you play the entire game using only the touch screen!

The Story of Kirby's Adventure

In Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby gets pulled into a magical painting. Inside this painted world, he turns into a ball. An evil witch named Drawcia is causing trouble in the painting.

To help Kirby, you use a special item called the Power Paintbrush. This magical brush lets you draw lines on the screen. These lines guide Kirby through the painted world. Your main goal is to help Kirby defeat Drawcia and save the day!

How to Play the Game

Playing Kirby: Canvas Curse is unique because you only use the touch screen and your stylus.

To make Kirby move, you simply tap him. This makes him roll forward. The most important part of the game is drawing lines with your stylus. Kirby can roll along these lines you draw. He will stick to them until they disappear.

You can use these lines in many ways:

• To help Kirby reach higher places.
• To get Kirby across dangerous pits or gaps.
• To protect Kirby from enemies or obstacles.

In most Kirby games, Kirby eats enemies to get their special powers. But Canvas Curse is different. To get a power, you first tap an enemy to make it dizzy. Then, you make Kirby roll into the stunned enemy. If the enemy has a power, Kirby will gain it. To use Kirby's new power, you just tap him again on the screen.
