Kirby's Inhale Showdown (Normal Treasure for short) is a stage inTreasure Road, found inRedgar Forbidden Lands. This stage tasksKirby with completing a challenge revolving around the use of hisinhale and spit to defeat waves of enemies. The stage is initially hidden, and needs to be found by "searching" theWorld Map. It is located on a wooden watchtower left from the stage select area forConquer the Inferno Road. It is marked by three stars of difficulty and has a stage time of three and a half minutes (three minutes in Wild Mode), with a target time of two minutes.

Stage details[edit]

This stage plays much like a stage inKirby's Blowout Blast, consisting of several paths connecting larger platforms where enemy ambushes take place. There are a total of three rooms with ambushes and four intermediary bridges connecting them from the starting position to theRare Stone at the end. On each of the bridges, Kirby will need to run and inhale enemies in the way, with the second one in particular tasking him with dropping someGigatzos on the path. The first two ambush rooms have Kirby using his inhale to dispatch groups of enemies, while the last one has Kirby facing off against theWild Bonkers &Wild Edgemid-bosses simultaneously. Once all of these trials are clear, Kirby can collect the Rare Stone at the end.

Tips[edit]

The following are tips on how to attain the target time for this stage:

• In the first two ambush rooms, there is an optimal method of clearing out the enemies.
  • For the first, Kirby will be given four groups ofPrimal Awoofies and one line ofBronto Burts at the end. Kirby may be best served to save the last group of Awoofies and shoot them down the line of Bronto Burts.
  • For the second, the intended enemies to inhale are the twoRabiroos that jump into the center at the start, the line of Bronto Burts on the left in the second part, and the twoKabu that roll into the middle for the last part.
  • Kirby should aim to hit theSssnacker first with a Kabu, as it is considerablyharder to inhale.
• Against the mid-bosses, Kirby should find every opportunity he can get to grab two or more objects with his inhale, and then spit them out in such a way to hit both foes at once. Alternatively, he could focus on taking out Wild Edge first by hitting them when their Spike Shield is up and quickly taking them out while they are dazed.
• It is relatively easy to avoid the Gigatzos, so Kirby does not need to waste time by hitting the bomb block to drop them.
• Kirby tends to automatically face towards enemies when spitting out a star bullet (said bullets also tend to home in on enemies when fired near their general vicinity), so he does not need to waste as much time aiming.

Enemies[edit]

Trivia[edit]

• This stage is a direct homage toKirby's Blowout Blast: one ofKirby and the Forgotten Land's precursors. The Japanese and Korean names "カービィのすいこみ大決戦だいけっせん！"/"커비의 빨아들이기 대결전!" are both one character off from their respective names forKirby's Blowout Blast: カービィのすいこみ大作戦だいさくせん / 커비의 빨아들이기 대작전 ("Kirby's Inhale Operation").
