[edit] Gameplay
Dream Course is a golf video game which is viewed from an isometric perspective. Instead of using a ball, Kirby is used as the ball. The player must set the power, angle, and spin to connect with various enemies found throughout the levels. Once all but one enemy remains, that enemy will transform into the hole.
The game has eight courses, each with eight holes on each. There is a high score board for each level, with medals to be won on each of them. The player can unlock extra features by winning the medals. There are Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals to be won, which are awarded to Kirby at the end of the course.
Kirby loses one of his health points every time he makes a shot, and gains one every time he hits an enemy or lands in a hole. He loses one life when all his health points are gone. When Kirby run out of lives, the game will end. Afterwards, the player can either continue from the beginning of the course or exit it.
[edit] Development
In the beginning, the game was not going to be a Kirby title. Rather, it was intended to be a miniature golf game entitled Special Tee Shot. It was only midway through development that the developers retooled it with elements from the Kirby series. Special Tee Shot was eventually released in Japan only on the Satellaview add-on.
