Spring Breeze is a sub-game in Kirby Super Star, and Kirby Super Star Ultra. It is essentially an enhanced remake of Kirby's Dream Land, the first game in the Kirby series. One night under the cover of darkness, the gluttonous King Dedede and his minions steal all of the food in Dream Land. The next morning as the residents are discussing what to do, a young boy named Kirby steps forward and offers to help retrieve the food and stop Dedede.
Two players can play Spring Breeze simultaneously.
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. There is a "2-P Spring Breeze" option available on the file select screen of Kirby Super Star Ultra, which allows the game to be played in two-player mode with only one player having a copy of the game. The player that does not have the game uses DS Download Play, and instead of having a separate screen, plays the game while watching the first player's screen.
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Although Spring Breeze doesn't change in any way in Kirby Super Star Ultra aside from graphical enhancements, Revenge of the King is another re-imagining of the events in Kirby's Dream Land. This time based on the Extra Mode of the original game. It is more difficult than Spring Breeze is, reintroduces Kabula, and several parts from Kirby's Dream Land are removed. Kirby can still use Copy Abilities.
Curiously, the crowd seems to cheer when Kirby lands a hit on Dedede, and not the other way around.
King Dedede's arena changes its appearance from Kirby Super Star to Kirby Super Star Ultra; in its first incarnation, it appears to be based off of a boxing arena. In the remake, however, the arena mimics its original design seen in Kirby's Dream Land.
The music that plays on the title screen of Spring Breeze in Kirby's Super Star Ultra is a remix of the title music of Kirby's Dream Land.
Miitopia contains a tornado-like enemy known as Spring Breeze, which may be a reference to this sub-game.
In a 2017 interview, Masahiro Sakurai stated that Spring Breeze was originally not planned to include Copy Abilities, to follow Kirby's Dream Land more closely and make it simpler for beginners. [1]
In the same interview, Sakurai mentioned that the title of the sub-game was derived from a line in the manual of Kirby's Dream Land that described Kirby as "a youth who came with the spring breeze."
