Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

This is the Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Nintendo 64 Game cartridge. It has been cleaned, tested, and is guaranteed to work!

Kirby, that cute mushy star of other Game Boy, NES, and Super NES games, has arrived on the N64 in this nearly 3-D game. For those of you who don’t know Kirby, think of him as an adorable action hero with an eating disorder–in battle, he often swallows his enemies whole and then spits out everything except their powers. Absorbing the attack style of a rock enemy, for example, allows Kirby to later apply a rock shield in his defense.

In this episode of the growing series, Kirby has to save the colorfully cute world of Ripple Star from the encroaching force of Dark Matter by locating and collecting six different shards of a broken crystal. Though the game is primarily a one-player side-scrolling adventure, there are four minigames (one is a hopping race, and another will have you catching falling fruit from a tree) that accommodate up to four players.
