DESCRIPTION

Nintendo's first stab at miniature golf, Kirby's Dream Course is a highly original game that incorporates elements of billiards, action, and platforming. Kirby is the ball, and each of the 64 holes (spread over eight courses) is hidden and must be found by running into enemies. Certain enemies will release a power (such as bouncing or a backspin maneuver) to Kirby when hit. Lining up some of the harder shots and shooting for lower and lower scores requires skill and strategic thinking as players set spin, aim, power, and other factors throughout the tricky, geometrically intimidating courses. Fans of Kirby's Adventure and other Kirby games (primarily of the platform variety) will enjoy the cute, familiar characters and music, while hardcore gamers will appreciate the surprisingly high level of challenge. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
