Kirby Canvas Curse is really fun.But it's easy. I just got it today (and played with it once for about 20 minutes) and I'm already up to level 3 part 3. I like the bonus games. I never heard of Kirby before this DS game. Hard to belive,huh?

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

Kirby: Canvas Curse is sort of a spiritual sequel to a DS showcase game called Yoshi: Touch & Go, in that they both use nothing but the touchscreen to control the game. I've never played Yoshi: Touch & Go, but the concensus was while it worked well, the game lacked substance.

Well, Kirby: Canvas Curse doesn't. It is a full-fledged platformer worthy of the purchase price, and the unique control scheme seals the deal. I had my doubts about how well the game would be able to interpret what I draw on the touchscreen, but it really does work splendidly -- just the way I imagined it would work.

Five stars, two thumbs up, etc. Now if only I could figure out why the game is out of production...buy one while you still can.

Kirby is great... AND THIS ONE IS INCREDIBLE!

Although probably not the greatest Kirby game ever, this is definitely the best handheld Kirby out there.

Kirby Canvas Curse has Kirby regularly doing his thing in Dreamland, when an evil sorceress appears out of the sky. She waves her magical paintbrush, and the world turns to paint! Kirby gives chase, but the sorceress turns him into a ball! Helpless, Kirby lies on the ground and sees the magical paintbrush. Then, it transports to you on a ray of light! (also known as your stylus)

This game is probably the only Kirby game with a good story (I haven't played any of the classics so I don't quite know). You play with Kirby as a ball. You can touch Kirby to make him dash forward and attack or just go faster, and you use your stylus to draw lines for him to ride. There are 6 main levels each with 3 smaller levels within, which each have 3 stages. Once you clear one level, you can go on to the next and the next, until you reach level 7 after facing a few boss challenges along the way. Here you see "The World of Drawcia". Here, you go through two stages. Once through, you see a very strange mirror. Once you enter, you are put in fierce battle with Drawcia Sorceress! I won't elaborate further.

In each stage of each mini level of each level, you can find a Medal. There are 250 levels to hunt for and collect. However, most of the medals are NOT found in the stages. They are found-no, earned-in something called Rainbow Run. Here, after you have completed a LEVEL, you will find these mini levels again. However, you will be trying to either finish a certain stage as fast as possible, or will be trying to use as little ink for lines as possible. I have currently beaten the game (minus 3 medals) and now find Rainbow Road the only thing that is very satisfying.

These medals can be traded for prizes inside "Medal Swap". Here you can get things from new courses in Rainbow Road to new characters! These new characters you must use in order to completely beat the game. Once you beat the game with all 5 characters and have gotten all the medals, you will have beaten Kirby Canvas Curse!

This is a game that needs to be in every gamer's library of games. This one is just too good to pass up. I give it 5 stars out of honest. That is what I think! I'm not just over doing the star button here, I MEAN IT!! If you don't get it, sorry for you. If you do get it, get ready for one of the greatest games on the hand held market! Your friend in gaming,

This is by all means a very good game, my one problem with it is that there just isn't enough replay value. Ever since I played my first Kirby game I have been a huge fan of the Kirby game franchise. The difficulty of the 7 worlds with 3 levels each are honed to perfection and very fun to maneuver. The level design is spectacular. The final boss is creative but predictable. The copy abilities are great, but their just isn't enough replay value. I got this game with a DS for Christmas and loved it, but I had beaten it a few days after New Year's, but it got gradually more boring after that. I recommend this game to everyone, but I'm warning you, it won't last long.

Yeah....................NO!

This game is fun in many different ways, but I think it is better using buttons. It is great game for the ds but the 2d game play. It will be better 3d. but it is good to play so buy it.

this game has only 7 worlds with each world taking about 5 minutes, and the controls are stupid because you can only use a stylus pen.

My Children Really enjoy the Game

This is such an awesome game i spent countless hours with my friend Clask Boichkenrick and after that we spent hours playing hide and go seek. Then we did the tango. Then we played this game again. It was so fun. To bad my DS got swept away by the waves on the beach! I don't know how the Pacific Ocean got to Iowa, but you know, these things happen! My brother had a seizure from this game because of all of it's shiny lights and such! THEY SHOULD PUT THESE THINGS ON THE BOX OR SOMTHING! But over all it is a very good game pastimer thingy.
