Kirby's Epic Yarn Nintendo Wii, 2010 CIB Complete In Box Manual

Nintendo's popular pink puffball with an unassuming grin and a voracious appetite returns in a new form in Kirby's Epic Yarn. After eating a strange tomato planted by the evil wizard Yin-Yarn, Kirby is transformed into yarn and sucked into a dimension where everything is made of colorful fabric. Kirby quickly befriends Prince Fluff, and the duo agree to head off after Yin-Yarn to foil his malevolent plans. The new dimension has removed Kirby's ability to ingest enemies and absorb their abilities, but the classically styled side-scrolling action still finds him bounding and floating through levels, and the pliable nature of the yarn lets Kirby lasso enemies, throw objects, and swing from grapple points.<br><br>Kirby's Epic Yarn is designed to offer two-player co-op action, with the second player taking on the role of Prince Fluff. Both characters can completely transform into a variety of different objects, including a surfing penguin, a destructive brick, and a submarine, and the duo can combine to transform into a massive robot that fires missiles and bats down enemies with a huge boxing glove. Each level contains three secret treasure chests, as well as a large number of colorful beads, and many secret areas can be accessed by unzipping two pieces of cloth, tunneling through fluffy cotton, or yanking a loose thread. Beads earn players higher scores and win medals at the end of the stage, while the treasure chests and medals open up new levels to explore.
