STORY OF THE RAINBOW ISLANDS

Kirby lives on the rainbow islands of Dream Land. The rainbows that connect the
islands have been stolen by the evil Dark Matter! Dark Matter has taken control
of King Dedede and wants to turn Dream Land into a dark world. With the help of

their powers. Inhale the enemy, then press Down on the +Control Pad to copy
their powers. Use the copied power by pressing the B Button.

Other Offensive Weapons
* Inhale -> Exhale
Press the B Button once to inhale enemies or blocks and again to spit them out.
(There are some enemies that Kirby cannot swallow or cannot be defeated.) If
Kirby swallows more than two enemies or blocks at the same time, his weapon will
be more powerful than ever!

You can use either of these weapons by pressing the B Button, although they're
not as powerful as spitting stars.

KIRBY'S THREE FRIENDS

Rick - Rick the hamster carries Kirby on his shoulders.
Rick doesn't slip on ice!

Kine - Kine the fish is a great swimmer.
With Kine, Kirby can swallow while in water.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 13

Coo - Coo the owl, can help Kirby get to those hard-to-reach places. When he has
special powers, watch out!
While with Coo, Kirby can't swallow and fly at the same time.

Defeat the mini-boss who is on guard. When the friend comes out of the bag, you
can go with him. When the friend's life meter runs out, he'll disappear, but you
can continue the game. In some cases, it's better to let your friends go.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLAYING THE GAME

After the opening demo, the STAGE SELECTION screen will appear. Complete each
stage in numerical order. When all stages have been completed, the boss door
will open. Defeat the boss to advance to the next island.

- After each stage, Kirby will jump and land on a bonus cloud. Press the A
Button at the right time to get better items.

RAINBOW DROPS
To fight Dark Matter, Kirby must find a rainbow drop hidden on each island. As
Kirby finds the rainbow drops, a mark will appear on the island letting him know
that the drop for that island has been found. Kirby may need to re-visit an
island if he's missing a drop.

GAME OVER

The game is over when all remaining Kirbys are gone. When the game is over,
select CONTINUE to try again or GAME END to return to the title screen.

-Advice-
* Be careful when jumping down to an area you cannot see, because sometimes you
will drop into a bottomless pit and lose a life!

* Kirby blinks when he is hit by an enemy. While he is blinking, he is
invincible.

* Some enemies might be your friend's natural enemy, so watch out! [ie - they
kill them instantly.]
