Flash Fishing is one of the threeSub-Games available inWaddle Dee Town inKirby and the Forgotten Land andKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, which requires the rescue of 155Waddle Dees to unlock. It is similar in concept to other quick reflex sub-games such asQuick Draw,Samurai Kirby andSpeed Eaters, but is themed around fishing instead.

Catching the "BlingBlipper" in this sub-game is required for100% completion ofKirby and the Forgotten Land.

Gameplay[edit]

To begin Flash Fishing,Kirby merely needs to sit down on his chair and then cast a line. After a moment, he will get a bite, and need to start reeling it in. This is done by having the player press either the A, B, X, or Y buttons as a quick-time event, with larger catches requiring more buttons pressed in sequence and with quicker timing. The last button to press is always X (or the fourth and the last, if reeling in the biggest catch). Done correctly, Kirby will reel in aBlipper and then shortly afterward gainStar Coins for it. If the player fails to press the correct button in time, Kirby will be pulled out of his chair and fall into the pond (or to the ground, if the fish is small enough), failing the catch. If the player presses the wrong button, Kirby will reel in a junk item and gain no reward.

Making several successful catches in a row will result in better odds of catching larger Blippers, and thus earning more Star Coins. Failing catches has the opposite effect. The following is a list of each Blipper type that can be caught (though weight values in "g" can differ slightly):

• Small Blipper (1 or 2 buttons, under 1000 g) - Yellow Star Coin (1)
• Regular Blipper (3 buttons, roughly 1000 g) - Green Star Coin (5)
• Large Blipper (4 buttons, roughly 8000 g) - Red Star Coin (10)
• Huge Blipper (4 buttons, over 8200 g) - Blue Star Coin (30)
• "Bling Blipper" (7 buttons, roughly 10000 g) - 500 Star Coins (catching this for the first time also rewards the "Fishing-Pond Kirby"figure)

Flash Fishing can also be played simultaneously by Kirby andBandana Waddle Dee, who share the screen and play separately. The top three catches, organized by weight first and time taken for the catch second, can be seen on a separate board at the far end of the pond. Until Kirby or Bandana Waddle Dee sets a record, the displayed record is of a Waddle Dee with a 300 g Blipper.

Trivia[edit]

• If both players are fishing and one of them successfully catches a Bling Blipper, the other player will stop and watch as a red ! appears over their character. They will also applaud after the Blipper lands on the other character. This only happens for the first time the Bling Blipper is caught.
  • Additionally, if Bandana Waddle Dee is the one who catches the Bling Blipper, the Fishing-Pond Kirby figure will still land in Kirby's hands after the fish is turned into coins.^[1]
