islands have been stolen by the evil Dark Matter! Dark Matter has taken control

* 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* 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.]
