Only the winner of the match may continue onward towards the Dream Fountain. If, while on their journey, two Dream Landers happen to meet, they must challenge each other to an Avalanche match.

The rules for the competition are quite simple: Everyone will travel by foot to the Dream Fountain. Like Kirby, they have been dreaming sweet dreams of becoming the Avalanche Champion and claiming the highly sought after "Dream Fountain Cup."

To be held at the Dream Fountain, this would be the biggest event in the history of Dream Land!Īll the Dream Landers have been practicing, and all plan to attend and compete. In Dream Land the local pastime is a puzzle game called "Avalanche." Kirby decided that since every Dream Lander plays the game, it would be a great idea to have a country-wide competition to determine who is the best player of all.Īfter months of organizing, the First Annual Dream Land's Avalanche Competition was finally announced. Welcome to Dream Land, a small and peaceful country situated on a far away little star. Due to its similarities to Super Puyo Puyo, this game was never released in Japan, making it the only Kirby game with this distinction. The game, which can be played with one or two players, revolves around stacking multi-colored blobs (otherwise known as Puyos) and matching chains of the same color. It is a spinoff title and a direct modification of the Japanese puzzle game Super Puyo Puyo, except featuring Kirby characters. Kirby's Avalanche, known as Kirby's Ghost Trap in European languages, is a puzzle game developed by Compile, in collaboration with HAL Laboratory, that was released in 1995.
