And now I take my turn on the first-ever Kirby game!
Stage 1: Green Greens
The controls are pretty simple. Press Up to fly (and B to spit the air out - works as a weapon, too), Left and Right to move around, Down ducks, while A are B are jump and suck respectively.
Once again, you can't copy abilities when you press Down after inhaling an enemy. Also, inhaling two enemies still gives you the normal star attack. (Both wouldn't debut until the next game, Kirby's Adventure.)
Once you have an enemy in your mouth, B spits them out as a star-shaped projectile. I don't know why I'm even mentioning this, as the controls are so easy you don't even need the instruction manual to figure them out, so let's just get back to the game.
The enemies here are nothing you haven't seen before (unless you've never played a Kirby game in your life - if you haven't, then your gaming expertise is bad and you should feel bad), so all you really need to do is just inhale them and spit them back out at other enemies.
The door with the word "in" above it leads you to two Pep Brews. Don't know why you'd need to refill four units of health this early in the game unless you've either run into or jumped on everything...but okay...
There's a Warp Star at the end of the first segment. It takes you a fight with Poppy Bros. Sr., which is a joke if you've played Kirby before. Just inhale the bombs he throws, and spit them back out at him. He [b]does[/b] have a leaping attack, but if your aim is perfect every time you won't see it. After three hits, it's smooth sailing from here.
The third section is the inside of a tree. The segments of the level blocked off by the Star Blocks lead nowhere, so just go straight up. If you need to refill your health for whatever reason, there's a Maxim Tomato near the top, which refills all your energy.
The boss here is Whispy Woods. He's ridiculously easy - just suck up the apples and spit them at him. Duck when he spits the air clouds. That's it.
When you beat him, grab the star and it's on to Stage 2.
Stage 2: Castle Lololo
It's the stage they didn't put in Kirby Super Star - sort of.
When you enter the castle, inhale the microphone and spit it back out to destroy the enemies. Go into the door on the right. If you go up, you'll find a door that leads to two ghost enemies and two Pep Brews.
Some of the other doors take you to dead ends with either enemies or power-ups. The game is so easy, however, that they aren't noteworthy.
When you see the bomb, inhale it and spit it out. As long as the resulting explosion remains on-screen, they'll kill off any enemies in your way.
The masks can be inhaled when they change expression. The faces in the ? blocks can also be inhaled. Go down and to the left in the third section.
Interesting note about the fourth section: he can't attack underwater, because the water gun attack wasn't introduced yet. D'oh! Just go from Point A to Point B here.
Grab the Candy and float all the way up. Simple.
The sixth section has the Mummy Balls, which can only be destroyed by an air pellet (made by pressing Up to fly and pressing B to stop flying). Since you're most likely still invincible, just run to the Warp Star.
You'll face Lolo here. Spit three of the boxes he shoves at you to beat him and move on.
You could go all the way right in the next section, but going to the top beforehand gives you a Maxim Tomato...and more points in the way of enemies to fight when you get up there.
After an easy section, you'll get a room full of doors. The one at the very top is the one you want, but another door leads to a 1-Up! (The rest just take you to another door in the room.) One last easy section, and you'll face Lolo and Lala.
Same thing as last time...just spit three boxes at each of them. Try not to get cornered, please.
Stage 3: Float Islands
Another easy level, though there are a few things to mention:
The clams that attack like the Waddle Doos can't be inhaled if their shells are shut.
The cannons have easy patters, but it's easy to damage from them if you're careless.
The falling coconuts on the palm trees (or are they dates or leaves? I can't tell) don't explode like bombs here, unlike in the later games.
The shells cannot be inhaled unless the occupants of them are poking their heads out and moving around.
The first two sections are easy. The first one just has you moving all the way to the right, and you can fly over all the enemies with ease. The second one has you making your way to the door at the bottom-right corner.
When you reach the ship at the beginning of the third section, you'll find a plate of curry. Taking it will have Kirby spitting out fireballs when you press B, and he'll be in motion and flashing as long as it's in effect. If you go through the door in the middle, you'' find a 1-Up. If you still have the curry power-up in effect when you jump in the water, it'll stop working.
The door at the end of the ship takes you to a Warp Star that takes you to a Whale's blowhole which takes you to the boss section. Fight off the Kaboos and you'll find what looks like an oversized lemon. Taking it makes you fly indefinitely and triggers a boss fight.
Just hold B and move around so your air pellets hit the blimp. Avoid the cannon shots, and move out of the way when it spins.
