Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, known in Japan as Hoshi no Kirby: Kagami no Daimeikyū (星のカービィ 鏡の大迷宮 Hoshi no Kābī Kagami no Daimeikyū?, lit. "Kirby of the Stars: The Great Mirror Labyrinth"), is a Kirby video game released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance.
[edit] Plot
The game takes place high above Dream Land in the mirror world. An evil force invaded it, and Meta Knight flew up to protect it, but was swiftly defeated by Dark Meta Knight, his shadowy mirror image. Kirby flies up as well and as the game starts Dark Meta Knight cuts Kirby into four different Kirbys, each with a different color (pink, red, yellow, and green). There is also a Shadow Kirby, though it is not nearly as malicious as Dark Meta Knight; if you attack it, it will throw a power-up at you and flee.
[edit] Gameplay
Unlike other Kirby games, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror features a maze layout. The game map branches out in several directions and (providing you have the proper power at your disposal) you may go anywhere in almost any order, excluding the final sequence. It also features multiplayer, and you can call other players or CPU-controlled Kirbys to your location with an in-game cell phone. There are several new powers in it, such as Cupid (called Angel in the Japanese version), which allows Kirby to fly around with wings and a halo and fire arrows, and Missile, which turns Kirby into a missile that can be guided in any direction and will explode on contact with a wall or an enemy, or when the B button is hit.
