Kirby Squeak Squad (DS)

I’ve now done all the secret levels (I think!) and have all the treasure on 4 of the 8 worlds. I’ve completed one of the jigsaws, and something odd happened when I completed the Ghost Medal in the collection – loads of ghost came out and one went into each world. What do I do now? Find them? Kill them? Collect them? Do nothing? QUESTIONS!

Kirby Squeak Squad (DS)

I think, but I’m not sure, that the “xx/120” counter is in fact number of chests found, not number of levels completed. You see, I went back and unlocked another secret level, and completed that, and the counter went up from 76 to 81. I still have a ? for part of the collection screen too. I assume I get something there for getting all of the treasure chests or something. Or maybe it’s to do with that yellow Kirby …

Kirby Squeak Squad (DS): COMPLETED!

What? Already? Yes indeed. I thought there was at least another world after 8, but no. And World 8 was somewhat shorter than previous ones too. The final boss battle was quite hard, until – yes – I got a Tornado power-up, and then after that there was another boss. I sort of expected it, as it seems to be the norm with Kirby games. You even get a weapon not unlike the Star Rod from Kirby’s Adventure. I seem …

Kirby Squeak Squad (DS)

I’m well en-route to finishing this quite soon now. I ripped through levels 4 to 7 in double-quick time, although I did miss out on finding one secret level (and I haven’t got all the chests in every level yet either). I’ve died maybe 5 times now, mostly on bosses. The trick (as always with Kirby) for bosses is having the right power-up when you get to them. So I’m on Level 8 now, which I thought was going to …

Kirby Squeak Squad (DS)

Only a short session on this today, but I did play for long enough to complete all of the rest of World 3 (including a secret level). I died for the first time too – on the end of world boss. En-route to him, you get two power-ups: fire and tornado. Based on my death, I would suggest you use the latter rather than the former. Cleared two levels of Jam Jungle then too, which is World 4. Looks like …

Kirby Squeak Squad (DS)

Sssh! Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve started a new game even though I haven’t finished Excite Truck, Contact or Military Madness yet! It’s a secret to everybody! It’s a proper Kirby game this time around. Not that Canvas Curse thing, which was good but not “right”. This, however, is right in everything. It differs from other Kirby games in two main ways: firstly, you can store up to five power-ups for later use (although the treasure you need to collect …

2007: A Year in Gaming – Part 1

So, the end of the year is nigh, and I thought I’d round up this year’s games. That is, the games I’ve played this year, rather than just those that have come out this year, although in most cases it’s the same thing. January The year started as 2006 ended – with Castlevania. Specifically, Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance on the GBA, supplemented by Super Castlevania IV for the Wii’s Virtual Console. There was also a lot …
