Kirby has never really been a popular Nintendo icon like Mario and Link are. Solid platformers are released, but they are never the one that gets all the hype. Now Kirby gets another turn on the DS to show everybody that great things come in small packages.

Graphics
I am a little disappointed with the graphics just because they show no change over the GBA Kirby games though the graphics don't make the game any worse. Also instead of showing of the DS's 3D graphics, like New Super Mario Bros. did, it keeps it colorful and cartoony which really sets it apart from a lot of other platformers.

Sound
Like the graphics, the sound hasn't really changed much in GBA to DS transition. Once again the game is saved by its upbeat and bubbly tunes. It helps this cartoony image.

Gameplay
This is where Kirby Squeak Squad really shines, in gameplay. -Story-
The story is very simple. I mean VERY simple. Someone has taken Kirby's Strawberry Short Cake. Kirby has to get it back. Of course the story gets a little bit longer as you progress through, but not much. -Single Player-
This Kirby is similar to a lot of other games, which involves running through levels and then fighting a boss. The stages are pretty easy, but fun and colorful. Also new to this game is the bubbles. When Kirby eats a bubble, it goes to his stomach (shown on the tough screen). You can tap bubbles to heal Kirby or to change him. When two morph forms are put together it randomly selects a new ability or better some fuse together. There are also 120 chests to find (with new Kirby colors, special abilities for morph forms, and more) and 8 worlds full of fun levels. Even with all those the game is over too quickly. -Multi Player- There is not much to say about multi player. 4-Player Single Card download play makes it easier to play with friends. There are 3 mini games that use the stylus rather than buttons. They are fun but get old fast.

With all of its ups and downs Kirby Squeak Squad is a fun game. If you need a new platformer, or just a new DS game, then this is a great game that I can recommend to almost anyone.
