-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Kirby's Dream Land 2 is obviously a sequel to the original Kirby's Dream Land 
for Gameboy. This game has improved the series majorly with the addition of 
different abilities, friends, and an actual storyline. There are 7 worlds, 
each with varying amounts of levels in each, and each world has a Rainbow 
Piece that you must obtain in order to reach the real final boss and ending. 
This is the best Kirby game for the Gameboy, so go play it sometime!

-=  3. Story  -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Kirby lives on the rainbow islands of Dream Land. The rainbows that connect 
the islands have been stolen by the evil Dark Matter! Dark Matter has taken 
control of King DeDeDe and wants to turn Dream Land into a dark world. With 
the help of three friends, Kirby sets out on his latest quest to save Dream 
Land.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Friends
-------

Coo: He can fly, but in order to swallow things you've inhaled, you must land.

Kine: With him, you can inhale and swallow things underwater.

Rick: He has great traction on the ice, so he doesn't slip.


Abilities
---------

The 7 special abilities are Fire, Needle, Cutter, Stone, Ice, Spark, and 
Parasol. Each ability has a different effect when combined with each of the 3 
Friends. Below, I'm going to tell what each possible effect of the ability 
does:

Coo + Cutter: Coo throws out feathers in three directions: one straight
              forward, one diagonally upward, and one diagonally downward.

Coo + Fire: Kirby and Coo will rocket diagonally down to the ground like a
            huge fireball! 

Coo + Ice: Kirby exhales icy breath really fast in any direction except
           upward, freezing anything that gets hit!

Coo + Needle: Kirby turns into a spike pointing downward, killing any
              enemy that's below him!

Coo + Parasol: Kirby and Coo spin around really fast like a tornado, hurting
               anything in the way.

Coo + Spark: Coo will shoot lightning bolts straight down to the ground,
             literally frying anything they hit!

Coo + Stone: Kirby turns into a stone and Coo and himself drop down to the
             ground, crushing anything below them!

Kine + Cutter: Kine shoots out a large beam shaped like a cutter. It doesn't
               decrease in size as it travels like in KDL 3, but it's still a
               great move!

Kine + Fire: Kine shoots a single fireball out of his mouth straight forward,
             hitting anything in its path.

Kine + Ice: A bunch of ice "pellets" spin around Kine. If you hold B for a
            couple moments, he'll turn into an ice block!

Kine + Needle: A bunch of spikes come out of all sides of Kine's body, hitting
               anything that walks into you!

Kine + Parasol: Kine sticks the parasol out of his mouth for a couple seconds.
                It's a really useless move in my opinion!

Kine + Spark: Kine sticks a light bulb out of his mouth that shines light in
              darkened areas! You can also spit the bulb out by releasing the
              B button, then detonating it in mid-air by pressing B while it's
              flying!

Kine + Stone: Kine turns into an oddly shaped stone and drops to the ground,
              crushing anything below.

Rick + Cutter: Rick takes Kirby and throws him like he's a boomerang so he can
               hit enemies across the screen!

Rick + Fire: Rick shoots out many fireballs from his mouth in many directions
             straight ahead.

Rick + Ice: Rick rolls into a ball with Kirby rolled up on top of him like a
            snowman! A bunch of ice pellets circle them in that form freezing
            any enemies that come near.

Rick + Needle: An entire bed of spikes come out of Rick's back, hurting any
               enemies approaching you from behind!

Rick + Parasol: Rick balances the umbrella on his nose with Kirby rolling
                around on top of it.

Rick + Spark: Rick shoots a beam out of his mouth that goes from the air to
              the ground, hurting anything that gets hit.

Rick + Stone: Rick turns into a boulder and Kirby can walk on top of it and
              roll over any enemies in their path!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Efrite
    Ability: Fire
    Strategy: He will hop around for a few seconds, then all of a sudden, he
              will jump up and ram himself into the wall! He sometimes rams
              himself into the floor as well.

Mr. Frosty
    Ability: Ice
    Strategy: This big walrus likes to toss ice blocks at you, charge straight
              at you, then repeat the same pattern. Inhale the ice blocks and
              spit the stars back at him!

Waiyu
    Ability: Cutter
    Strategy: Dodging this mini-boss's boomerangs is pretty tricky. He will
              throw one cutterang at you, then teleport. Inhale the tiny
              ninjas he tosses at you and send them back at him!

Blocky
    Ability: Stone
    Strategy: He will charge into the walls, knocking the rocks out of the
              walls. Suck them up and spit them back at him. He will also
              triple jump. On the third jump, he will smash down, creating
              more rocks.

Captain Stitch
    Ability: Spike
    Strategy: This guy isn't confined by gravity! He will float around after
              you if you try to take refuge in the highest corner of the room.
              He will throw his spikes against the wall, leaving him
              vulnerable to attacks for a moment. Inhale the spikes and spit
              them back at him before he grows back new spikes! This mini-boss
              will also charge against the walls, which will knock off his
              spikes. He is the hardest of the mini-bosses, in my opinion.

Jumper Shoot
    Ability: Parasol
    Strategy: He will kick off his sandal, so inhale it and spit it back at
              it. He will also spin around the room. Fly to the high corner of
              the room where he can't reach you.

Big Spark
    Ability: Spark
    Strategy: This jellyfish mini-boss is pretty easy. All you have to do is
              stay away from him. He will slide after you, so jump over him
              when he slides closer to you. He will surround himself with a
              huge spark that shields him from most attacks. When he jumps,
              he'll fire a shockwave at you. After firing the shockwave, he'll
              toss a star at you. In midair, he'll shoot lightning from his
              tentacle. He'll also toss stars at you while in midair. Suck up
              the stars he throws and fire them back at him!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Whispy Woods
    Found In: World 1
    Strategy: Inhale the fruit falling from the tree and spit it at him.

Big Porcupine
    Found In: World 2
    Strategy: Inhale the smaller enemies and spit them out at him.

Angler Fish
    Found In: World 3
    Strategy: Use Kine to inhale the small enemies floating around and spit
              them back at him.

Ice Dinosaur
    Found In: World 4
    Strategy: Inhale the icicles that fall from the ceiling and spit them at
              him until he's defeated.

Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon
    Found In: World 5
    Strategy: When they attack, inhale the stars that appear and spit them
              back at them until they're both defeated.

Kracko
    Found In: World 6
    Strategy: Inhale the smaller enemies and spit them at him.

King DeDeDe
    Found In: World 7
    Strategy: When he uses his hammer or jumps, inhale the stars that appear
              and spit them back out at him. After you take away some of his
              power, he'll throw his hammer at you and it will blow up, making
              him turn a dark shade. Now, follow the same procedure as before
              to attack, but when he attacks you, an explosion will come with
              the stars. Keep attacking until he is defeated.

Dark Matter
    Found In: World 7 (Only if you have all 7 Rainbow Pieces)
    Strategy: Dark Matter has two different phases you must fight in order to
              win. In his first phase, Dark Matter takes the form of a sword
              wielding wizard-type thing. He attacks by swiping his sword at
              you and dashing around the sky. He also shoots an energy ball at
              you, which you can hit with your sword to bounce it back at him.
              Keep attacking him with your sword and bouncing energy balls at
              him until he blows up and starts the second phase of battle.
              Now, Dark Matter will take the form of a large black orb with
              smaller orbs attached to his body. He attacks this time by
              sending the smaller orbs after you and by shooting bolts of
              lightning. Attack him again as before, swipe him with your sword
              and hit his small orbs at his eye when they come near. (They
              take a bit more power away than your sword.) Keep doing this
              until he is defeated and then you've won the game!

Tips on Getting 100%
--------------------

When you defeat a boss, reenter that world and enter the boss door again. It 
will be a bonus game where you have to catch all the stars and not get hit by 
anything else. If you beat all 7 mini games in each world, you get more 
percentage towards the 100% mark.

When you defeat a mini boss, the bag opens up and usually reveals a friend to 
take along. If you defeat the boss and the bag opens when you have a friend, a 
blob will come out. If you happen to find and take the elusive Girl Blob, 
you'll get percentage towards the 100% mark. (Note: You must get the Girl Blob 
to get the full 100% at the end.)
