StreetPass
 | NintendoWiki has more information about this subjecthere. |
StreetPass is a feature on theNintendo 3DS that allows players to automatically exchange data with others' 3DS consoles. It works when two or more Nintendo 3DS consoles, with wireless communications turned on, pass nearby and electronically "tag" one another.
StreetPass can be enabled for up to twelve games at a time, and will function even when none of them are being played. If the 3DS consoles have any StreetPass-enabled games in common, a successful tag will be indicated by the status light on the system's upper-right corner turning a bright green.
Use in theKirby series[edit]
Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]
InKirby: Triple Deluxe, StreetPass is used to exchangekeychains and records ofThe Arena,The True Arena, andDededetour with other 3DS consoles. Having any StreetPass data, even of someone who doesn't own the game, also upgrades the items inAssist Stars to more powerful healing items (ie. a cherry becomes anEnergy Drink) inStory Mode only. If receiving StreetPass data from a player who owns the game,Bandana Waddle Dee also givesPoint Stars and a keychain in addition to the healing item. If data of a same player is gathered at least twice in a row, Bandana Waddle Dee gives more Point Stars and a rare Keychain.

Puzzle Swap[edit]
The mini-gamePuzzle Swap has the player collect pieces of "puzzles", which are large image panels featuring various Nintendo characters and games (and some third-party ones), either by selecting a piece from the visiting Miis' collections or by exchanging 2 Play Coins for a random piece. Once all pieces of a puzzle are collected, it becomes an animated diorama. One of the original seven puzzles was based on Kirby; new puzzles were periodically added through updates, which usually offered players one free piece to get their collection started.
- Kirby's Dream Land (15 pieces) (pre-installed): Kirby stands in a grassy field resemblingCookie Country, doing things like waving at the player and looking around.Parasol Waddle Dees float by in the background.
- Kirby's 20th Anniversary (40 pieces) (released 19 July, 2012): A large sprite of Kirby appears against a blue background. It swings open like a door, revealing the "real" Kirby behind, who waves to the player then stumbles and falls onto aWarp Star. Kirby flies past sprites from olderKirby games until he comes across aSparkling Star and inhales it to become his 8-bit self. He flies toward the camera and poses like the sprite seen at the beginning, and the animation repeats.
- Kirby's Return to Dream Land (40 pieces) (released 7 November, 2012): Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, Meta Knight, and King Dedede allpiggyback on each other, running through Cookie Country until they topple over, whileMagolor laughs and flies into theLor Starcutter.
- Kirby: Triple Deluxe (40 pieces) (released 26 December, 2013): Kirby runs through stages resemblingFine Fields,Wild World, andLollipop Land until he comes across aMiracle Fruit, which he jumps toward.
- Kirby Fighters Deluxe /Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe (24 pieces) (released 16 July, 2014): A two-sided diorama; on one side, King Dedede hops on drums to the beat, while on the other side, four Kirbys duke it out onDyna Blade's Nest.
- Kirby: Planet Robobot (15 pieces) (released 21 April, 2016): Kirby in hisRobobot Armor and Meta Knight fly toward the camera in a pose resembling the game's box art.Susie in her Business Suit can be seen if the camera is tilted to the right. Bandana Waddle Dee can also be spotted if the camera is titled to the upper left.
