Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

One day, Kirby and Waddle Dee are hanging out on their home, Planet Popstar, when a mysterious hole appears in the sky. Through it, the evil Claycia steals all of Popstar's colors. Elline, a rainbow fairy paintbrush, rescues Kirby and Waddle Dee by giving them their colors back, and the three of them go through the hole in the sky on a mission to bring color back to Planet Popstar.

The game is broken into seven colorful worlds, each of which has three levels and one boss fight. In each world, Kirby encounters all kinds of adorable bad guys and collectable treasure chests. Kirby can also collect secret diary entries by Elline, which tell the story of how Claycia—her onetime best friend—became evil and "totally selfish."

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse saves automatically after each level.

Although Kirby and the Rainbow Curse has a super kid-friendly demeanor, the game can be incredibly challenging. Young kids will probably need help reaching the end.

• Have you ever had a friend whose personality seemed to change overnight? What do you do in that situation?
• Do you want to make some of the characters out of clay?
• Does Elline need Kirby to save her, or do they help each other equally?
