   In my opinion Kirby's Adventure is one of the best platformers of all
time (it surely beat SMB3 for gameplay). Yet every Kirby seems to be all
too easy, and Kirby's Adventure is no exception.
   While playing the game I became fascinated by the mixing of enemies.
Was there a pattern to it? After some experimenting, it seemed so and
after a LOT of experimenting, I came up with the following list.
   Frankly, I am quite surprised, nobody has ever noticed the pattern to
mixing. In all the Kirby FAQ's and walkthroughs I have read, I have
never found anything concerning this... Does this mean I am the ONLY
Kirby-fanatic (next to the game's creators of course) ever to discover
this? Sheesh...(^_^)! Comments to cyhwuhx@c4.com, please.

[1]: Special thanks to Jackson Duncan for pointing that mix out.
[2]: Again thanks to jackson Duncan, but this one even came with its
     own instructions. Appearantly during the third boss-fight (Mr.
     Bright and Mr. Shine), Mr. Bright will at sometime shoot out with
     his 'solar ray'. This will generate two stars. Inhaling both of
     these will also generate a mixture, resulting in Wheel. I have to
     agree with Jackson, for thinking HAL put this one in on purpose,
     for Wheel is an ideal weapon against these two bosses. Also see
     the Mix-rules addition.

*NOTE: This list does not contain every thinkable combination, simply
because there is no possibility of getting the combination within the
game.


	|-MIX-RULES:
1. Enemies are mixed as follows:
   a) enemy + enemy = nothing
   b) weapon-enemy A + enemy = weapon A
   c) weapon-enemy A + weapon-enemy B = mix AB
2. If a weapon is released, and the released star is mixed with another
   enemy, the star is favored as the resulting weapon. Note, that it is
   impossible to gain a mix by using a weapon-star and a weapon-enemy.
   Also, any hopes of getting TWO weapon stars are also in vain, because
   if Kirby gets a new weapon, any weapon-stars on screen will be
   destroyed.
3. The above combinations only work if you let the "roulette" finish by
   itself! If you press a button before it finishes, you acually gamble
   for your weapon.
4. Some mixtures of enemies can result into one out of two powers, this
   is ALWAYS level-dependend. I plan to have these levels planned out in
   a future version.
5. Appearantly, mixing two 'empty' stars (which will not grant any
   powers), will also generate a mix.

6. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get the StarRod through mixing. Although it would
   be nice if it were possible (^_^).


------------------------------------------------------------------------


 * I do not know if it is possible, but I have been unable to mix three
weapon-enemies (although it is possible to suck up three objects at
once). Is there anybody out there who has accomplished this?

 * Should you find this list incomplete (that means POSSIBLE mixtures I
missed throughout the game), please notify me at cyhwuhx@c4.com.

completely intact. This document should not be used for profit, without
