1. Tips on Playing
------------------
Kirby's Star Stacker, isn't a game you can be told how to do it, you've got to
learn the skills by yourself. It's like Tetris; you can tell someone how to
do it... but it's up to them on how they actually do it. I hope you know
what I mean hehe.
I can give you a few tips though:
- The only two rows you must worry about, are the two in the middle. The rest
of the rows can pile up higher then the screen. The two in the middle, cannot
have more then one block above the screen.
- When setting up chains, always do them as close as you can to the bottom.
- If the levels start getting to hard, don't build chains, just take it slow
and try and match up the characters, instead of setting up something.
- The blocks that come down with animal friend, try to place that in an isle
besides
the middle (if you don't have room). This won't disappear once you make a
chain,
it will change from a block to a star. Even though this is good, it can still
take up space.
2. Rules
----------------------
From the game:
"Hi! I'll teach you the rules for this game now! Use your friends to collect
the
stars!! Sandwich stars between like friends to stack the stars. If another
friend
is between, you won't collect it.
When you can chain your stacks together, bonus
stars will fall! Use chain reactions to get lots of stars at once time!
With the bonus stars, you get, you can connect even more chains!!
Here comes Dedede's fist! When you set the block... whammo! ... Wow!
Get caught on a center column, and the game is over."
3. Round Clear
--------------
Round clear is a elimination game, round by round. Each round, King Dedede has
so many hit points. Knock him out by getting stars. Each star you get, knocks
off one of his hitpoints. There are four levels, Normal, Hard, Very Hard and
Super Hard. Beat all of these and you get the bonus Insane level... which is a
pretty good challenge! Every 5 levels, there is an intermission as well. It
will show the Kirby animal friends dancing, playing with apples and a bunch of
other stuff. You need to beat so many rounds though to make it to the end of
that challenge level.
*TIP - The levels ARE predetermined. As you will notice in Normal level, just
one block can clear the whole round! I don't think it's like that for every
level (especially the insane levels) but I'm pretty sure the levels are not
random. If your having trouble, just keep trying to put the beginning block
somewhere new everytime.
Here's the list of hitpoints for each round, rounds needed to beat the level,
the ending and King Dedede's commentary:
*Normal: 8 Rounds
King Dedede: Hey Kirby! This means war!! If you can stack this many stars, you
win!
Ending: Shows Kirby and Rick having a picnic

4. Vs.
------
I can't tell you anything about Vs. =( If you've played Vs., please send me an
e-mail about it, and I'll put it in this FAQ with credit to you.
5. Challenge
------------
Here, you can be as free as you want in how you want to set up your chains.
There's no
time limit or hitpoints, just as much time as you have to play it. Rack up as
many
points as you can, and get a high score in the Records part of the game.
Thanks to LegoManiac900@aol.com:
"If you get at least 1000 stars, you open up the insane speed in challenge
mode."
6. Time Attack
--------------
You have 3:00 minutes to try and rack up as many stars as you can. Get a
highscore, and
it will wind up on the Records part of the game.
Send in your highest scores and I'll put them here!
Thanks to LegoManiac900@aol.com:
"If you get at least 100 stars, you open up the insane speed in time attack."
7. Records
----------
This part of the game keeps track on how well you did in Challenge and Time
Attack. There
are 3 high score spaces for each. What are your bests?
8. The Ending
-------------
LegoManic900@aol.com:
"Once you have opened up insane in everything, at the title screen Kirby will
now have a crown and scepter. That's the end of the game."
This is really cute! Not to mention the cute screen you get when you open it
up!
