Kirby's Epic Yarn

KIRBY'S EPIC YARN

Kirby's Epic Yarn started out as an entirely original game starring Prince Fluff before it was turned into a Kirby game. It features Kirby trapped inside a magic sock and turned into yarn, becoming friends with a prince there and working together to escape from the sock.

Kirby is, of course, the main playable character, with Prince Fluff as our player two (and our obvious gimmick rep). In place of an inhale ability, Kirby and Fluff use a yarn whip to lasso enemies and unravel them into balls of yarn that they can then use as projectiles or to transform. The transformations include a car, parachute, pendulum, spinning top, snake, submarine, and weight, as well as bigger "Metamortex" transformations including digger, dolphin, fire engine, off-roader, rocket, saucer, surfboard, starship, tank-bot, and train.

King Dedede and Meta Knight both end up getting pulled into the sock as well and "brainwashed" using puppet strings. Both fight about how they typically fight, Meta Knight gaining a flaming sword. Yin Yarn is the main villain, a yarn wizard with two knitting needles that turn out to be his true self. He can create enemies out of yarn, unravel a person into yarn, drop a giant curtain, cast a beam of yarn magic, and turn into a tank.

Other bosses include Fangora, a dragon with breathes fire, attacks with his long tongue, blows gusts of air, and flies up to slam down; Hot Wings, a phoenix that breathes fire and sends out smaller versions of herself; Squashini, a magician who hides in one of three hats, tosses card, balances bombs on a red cloth, and ties Kirby to a bomb in an unseen cutscene; and Capamari is an octopus wearing a squid cap who attacks with tentacles, ink, and babies called Octopeas.

The mini-bosses include Blast Mariner, who shoots missiles; Combo Cannon; Gate Core; Space Kracko, a version of Kracko that also shoots meteors; Whispy Woods; and Wicked Willow, a dark tree that shoots spores. Our enemies include Waddle Dee (with balloons, bows and arrows, parasols, spears, and driving cars), Waddle Doo, Amprey, Anemonee, Battin, Blipper, Bobber Clod, Boinger, Bomber, Bronto Burt, Buttonbee, Buttonbug, Buttonfly, Calderon, Candlemander, Chilly, Cutfish, Cyclod, Dandan, Danglerfish, Dropso, Emba, Embaconda, Embird, Freezo, Gator, Gordo, Grizzo, Jelly Jr., Magmotamus, Mariner, Octopea, Ooki, Orbitfly, Rolling Clod, Sawgill, Scarfy, Sea Jelly, Shelby, Slobba, Sneak Sack, Snip-Snap, Soldier, Soocher, Space Jelly, Spore Jelly, Sulkworm, Stogue, Swadclod, Twiggy Woods, UFO, and Uniclod.

The stages on this game are Quilty Square, a sort of hubworld with a handful of NPCs giving out sidequests; the generic Grass Land; the volcanic Hot Land, Treat Land made entirely of candy; the beachy Water Land; the icy Snow Land; the interstellar Space Land, and finally Dream Land, outside of the sock.
