This article is about the planet cracking sub-game fromKirby Super Star. For the sub-game with similar mechanics fromKirby & The Amazing Mirror, seeCrackity Hack.

Megaton Punch is one of theSub-Games inKirby Super Star, and it later returned inKirby Super Star Ultra as one of the two unlockable nostalgic sub-games, the other beingSamurai Kirby. This mini-game pitsKirby against a series of three opponents in a challenge to strike the blocks the hardest. Strong punches will crack much more than the targeted blocks, with evenPop Star being cracked (nearly in half). Up to two players can play the sub-game.

InKirby Super Star Ultra, Megaton Punch was directly ported from the original release. The only differences from the original version is that two-player support was dropped and it has to be unlocked by defeating all 19 bosses and mid-bosses inThe Arena first.

A demo of Megaton Punch was also broadcast in the Japan exclusiveKirby's Toy Box.

Gameplay[edit]

Three levels of difficulty are offered with the only difference being how high the opponents will score. A set of three meters will determine the strength of the players' punch. The first is a rising and falling bar meter that gives a harder hit when activated at the top. Secondly, a pair of cross-hairs will rotate and occasionally blend together. Activating while the centers are overlapping yields the hardest punch. Lastly, a pendulum will swing past a targeted circle, which rewards a harder strike for activating while dead-center.

Opponents[edit]

Kirby's three opponents will always beBandana Waddle Dee,Knuckle Joe, andIron Mam. At the end of each match, the opponents' force is compared in Mt. (metric tons, orMegatons if the title is relevant). Player's scores range from 2 Mt. to 201 Mt.

The following lists theCPU scores in single-player mode.
