This article is about the game inKirby Super Star andKirby Super Star Ultra, and should not be confused withSpring-Breeze Mode.

Spring Breeze is the first main game inKirby Super Star andKirby Super Star Ultra. It is essentially a simplified remake ofKirby's Dream Land, withsome differences to compensate for this. It is the first main game to be playable, and is designed to introduce new players to the game.

InKirby Super Star Ultra, the newly added main gameRevenge of the King follows the layout of Spring Breeze and has increased difficulty based on theExtra Game ofKirby's Dream Land.

In the originalKirby Super Star, Spring Breeze is completely optional; everything up to and includingThe Arena can be unlocked without playing it. This was changed inKirby Super Star Ultra; the first stage of Spring Breeze must be cleared in order to unlockDyna Blade,Gourmet Race andThe Great Cave Offensive, and the entire game must be cleared to unlockMilky Way Wishes and all games past it.

Plot[edit]

Much like inKirby's Dream Land,King Dedede has stolen all thefood inDream Land, prompting Kirby to set out towardsMt. Dedede to get it back (and despite still finding plenty of food along the way). As Kirby makes his way to thecastle, he must fight Dedede's minions and recover theSparkling Stars they are guarding. After eventually defeating King Dedede in his castle and retrieving the fourth and final Sparkling Star, Kirby uses the power of the Stars he has obtained to inflate into an enormous hot-air balloon, becoming bigger than the castle itself and carrying it all over Dream Land, raining the stolen food down onto the kingdom. Although Kirby eventually deflates to his normal size again, the four Sparkling Stars keep the castle in the air as a crowd of grateful citizens cheers for Kirby.

Differences fromKirby's Dream Land[edit]

Although Spring Breeze is heavily based onKirby's Dream Land, there are still a number of notable differences from the original game:

• The graphical fidelity and sprite/background detail has been improved (including adding color), asKirby Super Star andSuper Star Ultra are on more powerful consoles, the SNES and DS, respectively.
• Castle Lololo has been mostly removed, although parts of it were merged with Float Islands, such as the boss fight with Lololo and Lalala. The original boss,Kabula, was removed entirely.
• The events from the Castle Lololo intro cutscene were moved to that ofBubbly Clouds. Consequently, the original Bubbly Clouds cutscene, depicting a cloud raining various Kirbys after the original falls into it, is removed.
• Various types of enemies have been removed, while others were added.
• Kirby Super Star's gameplay mechanics are now used:
  • Kirby can nowDash,Guard,Slide, and use theWater Gun andNormal Beam.
  • Kirby can gain aCopy Ability from inhaling an enemy, and in turn, receive assistance from aHelper.
  • Kirby now possesses alife meter instead of discrete life bars; likewise, enemies possess health rather than being defeated instantly by all attacks.
• Various stage design changes were made, mainly resulting in considerably smaller, less complex stages.
• Mid-Boss encounters are slightly different;Lololo is no longer fought on his own, andMr. Frosty andBonkers are added throughout the game.
• Mt. Dedede no longer acts as a boss-rush style stage. Instead, Kirby immediately engages in the final boss battle againstKing Dedede after entering a door.
• Two players can play the game together, with player two controlling a Helper.
• Extra Mode is absent, with the sub-game only featuring one difficulty level;Kirby Super Star Ultra would eventually reintegrate an Extra Mode of sorts in the form ofRevenge of the King.

Profiles[edit]

Kirby Super Star[edit]

• Menu caption: "HELP! All the food from Dream Land has been stolen! Hurry, Kirby, or everyone will starve!"
• Opening narration text: "There's trouble in Dream Land! King Dedede and his soldiers, have stolen ALL the food in Dream Land! Here comes our hero, Kirby,riding^[sic] in on the spring breeze. Let the adventure begin."

Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

• Instruction manual bio (page 22): "Adventure through four stages as you try to recover all of the food stolen by King Dedede. This is a basic game mode with simple rules for new gamers. This is the only game mode you can play at first."

Trivia[edit]

• Several characters from theSuper Mario series appear in the audience during the fight against King Dedede, including Mario,Luigi,Wario,Princess Peach,Toad, andBirdo.
• InKirby Super Star Ultra, playing Spring Breeze for the first time results in bosses either having half as much health or sustaining twice as much damage from player attacks than on repeat playthroughs and all the other game modes.
• The title of Spring Breeze is based off theKirby's Dream Land manual, which states that "Kirby is a youth who comes with the spring breeze". This was confirmed in an interview withMasahiro Sakurai.^[1] This, in turn, is a reference to the original working title forKirby's Dream Land, "Popopo of the Spring Breeze" (はるかぜポポポ).
• Notably, the title theme -Welcome to Dream Land - is present on the title screen inKirby Super Star Ultra, but not in the originalKirby Super Star, which has a silent title screen instead.
• According to Masahiro Sakurai inthe "Kirby Super Star" video on his YouTube channel, he had originally wanted Copy Abilities to be unavailable in Spring Breeze, much like the originalKirby's Dream Land, but was urged to add them in by one of Nintendo's producers. To this day, he wishes he could have left them out, as he feels with the abilities in, there is little distinguishing Spring Breeze fromDyna Blade; in the same video, he recommended that players attempt Spring Breeze without using Copy Abilities as an added challenge.
