Boss Game
The term Boss Game refers to one of three Sub-Games which are playable at the end of the first six levels of Kirby: Canvas Curse. These games take the place of standard Boss stages. When Kirby reaches the end of a level, he will have to choose one of the games, prompting Drawcia to appear and create a portrait of the boss to challenge Kirby. This pattern continues until all three bosses have been bested at both Level 1 and Level 2 difficulty.
Upon completing both difficulties of a Boss Game, it will be removed from the rotation and become available to play at any time from the main menu. In free-play, the player can choose from both original difficulties and a new Level 3 option, where a Medal is available upon reaching rank A on each.
Boss Games do not appear when playing as characters other than Kirby.
The games are as follows:
| Boss Games in Kirby: Canvas Curse | |
|---|---|
| Game | Description |
| In this game, Kirby bounces up a series of chambers filled with blocks that he can break by hitting into them, similar to Kirby's Block Ball but more frenetic and with the ability to "draw" paddles anywhere on the screen. Up at the top chamber, Kirby faces down either Kracko Jr. or Kracko, and must crash repeatedly into his eye to win. | |
| In this game, Kirby has to chase down King Dedede in a mine cart through a long horizontal race-track broken down into many screens, in a similar vein to Gourmet Race. Kirby can speed up by eating fruit along the trackway, but needs to avoid obstacles and power-down items. | |
| In this game, the player needs to draw a series of paintings in the lower screen in order to speed Kirby along before a line of Bombers catch up to him. After clearing several screens, an explosion occurs which will defeat Paint Roller. | |
