Spring Breeze
From Kirby Wiki
"King Dedede and his soldiers, have stolen ALL the food in Dream Land!"
—Spring Breeze opening narration, Kirby Super Star
Spring Breeze is a sub-game in Kirby Super Star, and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. It is essentially an enhanced remake of Kirby's Dream Land, the first game in the Kirby franchise. The game features the same basic plot of the original title, in which King Dedede has stolen all of the food in Dream Land, and features similar enemies of the original title.
[edit] Differences to Kirby's Dream Land
Although Spring Breeze and Kirby's Dream Land are very similar, there are major differences between the two, mostly done to truncate the length.
- The biggest difference is the addition of Copy Abilities instead of the old system of occasionally stumbling upon power-ups. This alone virtually makes it an entirely different game.
- Obviously, Kirby Super Star game mechanics apply, meaning the ability to guard against attacks and more advanced powers.
- The Castle Lololo stage was removed; Kabula is no longer the boss of Float Islands, as a Warp Star instead takes Kirby to a tower where Lololo and Lalala are fought. Kabula was removed altogether, meaning there is one less Sparkling Star to collect.
- Kirby has a health meter instead of health bars.
- Kirby can now shoot water while underwater.
- Kirby can be assisted by Helpers.
- Some enemies from the original Kirby's Dream Land were removed. Some from later games were added.
- Mr. Frosty and Bonkers have been added in as mini-bosses.
- Mt. Dedede is now only two rooms, the main floor and Dedede's arena.
- Level designs are inspired by the original, but are clearly different.
- Enemies behave differently, particularly Kracko.
- Extra Game is not available.
[edit] Multiplayer
In Kirby Super Star, a second player can control a Helper via a second controller. In Kirby Super Star Ultra, a second player can now control a Helper after connecting with the first player via local wireless.
[edit] Remake
Although Spring Breeze doesn't change in any way in Kirby Super Star Ultra, aside from graphical enhancements, a new sub-game introduced in Kirby Super Star Ultra is Revenge of the King, which itself is another reimagining. It has an extreme increase in difficulty, and reintroduces Kabula and some of the map from Kirby's Dream Land removed in Spring Breeze. It is still considered easier than Extra Game of Kirby's Dream Land due to, once again, the addition of Copy Abilities.
