* Main Games

** '''DynaBlade''': A mysterious creature named Dyna Blade is terrorizing Dream Land, [[Running Gag|and it's up to Kirby to stop it]]. Adds a world map, some additional powers, and a couple extras, but in the end is mostly an intro game like ''Spring Breeze''.

** '''Gourmet Race''': Kirby and Dedede race to see who can eat the most food while still reaching the finish line first. It's pretty straight forward. Very notable for its music: the Gourmet Race theme "Run, Kirby, Run" is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY7xg92aNrY one] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVjdol0qcvQ of] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHz7mQ_pDRs the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoIbpSSQXYw most-][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGA8eHiGFRw remixed] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OXSLiYdrKU songs] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEIEOB5KRYU on] [[YouTube]] and one of [[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog|two]] sources of the THIS VIDEO CONTAINS [[Memetic Mutation|meme]]. And that's just a sample.

** '''Revenge of Meta Knight''': Meta Knight is setting out to conquer Dream Land in his massive flying battleship, the Halberd, [[Rule of Three|and it's up to Kirby to stop him]]. In this game, the levels are timed -- failing to clear it within a certain amount of time results in a loss. Also noted for the story -- Meta Knight and his crew can be heard talking about Kirby attacking, and the crew is visibly [[Mook Horror Show|freaking out]] as he [[Battleship Raid|lays waste to the Halberd.]]

** '''Milky Way Wishes''': The Sun and the Moon are fighting, throwing day and night into chaos, [[Overly Long Gag|and it's up to Kirby to stop them]]. This game takes Kirby to other worlds to find the wish-granting Galactic Nova, and since the enemies on these worlds are different than the usual ones, Kirby can't absorb their powers; instead, he has to find the Deluxe Copy Essences around the levels, after which point he has those powers forever, and can shuffle through them. {{spoiler|It turns out that Marx, who sent you to find Nova, was [[Unwitting Pawn|using you to get Galactic Nova's power]] in order to [[Take Over the World|rule Popstar]]. Kirby has to rush back to stop him in a [[Final Boss|climactic]] [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield|final]] [[Best Boss Ever|battle]].}}

** '''Samurai Kirby''': Kirby faces off in a first-strike duel with five increasingly tough opponents. Like the Quick Draw game in Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land, it's a game of reaction time.

** '''[[Megaton Punch]]''': A contest of <s> strength</s> timing, the challenge is to line up the strength and timing meters just right to deliver a strong enough punch to [[Earthshattering Kaboom|break Popstar in half.]] Remixed in ''[[Kirby and The Amazing Mirror]]'' as Crackity Hack.

* Main Games

** '''Meta Knightmare Ultra''': You play as Meta Knight through abridged versions of the original main games, excluding ''Gourmet Race'' and ''The Arena''. Meta Knight has a whole suite of moves at his disposal, and uses them to [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|thrash his way through the stages.]]

** '''Helper to Hero''': Instead of playing as Kirby, you choose one of his helpers (characters based on an element that Kirby absorbed, usually controlled by computer or by a second player) and run though a shortened version of ''The Arena''. This can create [[Self-Imposed Challenge|quite a challenge]]: sure, winning as Bonkers ([[Drop the Hammer|Hammer]]) or Plasma Wisp ([[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Plasma]]) isn't too bad, but how about winning with Capsule J2 (Jet) or Wheelie (Wheel)? Not to mention getting the best time...

** '''Kirby Card Swipe''': Kirby plays [[wikipedia:Karuta|Karuta]].

 

* [[Abandon Ship]]: Discussed near the end of ''Revenge of Meta Knight''. {{spoiler|They decide to fight Kirby one last time before doing so.}}

* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore|American Meta Knight is Hardcore]]: The "Meta Knight's Counterattack" part of the game was changed in the occidental release to "[[Revenge]] of Meta Knight" and Meta Knight's new dialogue makes him sound clearly villainous. They even made him threaten Kirby to ''[[Never Say "Die"|death]]''! Those changes have been maintained in ''Ultra'', [[Bowdlerization|sans]] the "Prepare to die!" line.

** The Subspace Emissary levels of ''Brawl'' resemble this game so much that it may have been an attempt at salvaging a cancelled Kirby game.

* [[This Cannot Be!]]: Captain Vul's reaction to the rest of the crew's reports that Kirby destroyed Main Cannon #2.

* [[Underground Level]]: Cocoa Cave in Dyna Blade, the Underground Forest in The Great Cave Offensive, and Cavios/Cavius in Milky Way Wishes.

* [[Unexpected Shmup Level]]: The last normal stage of ''Milky Way Wishes'' is a side-scrolling shooter, as well as Kabula in ''Revenge of the King''.
