A Ball of Yarn

Think about it: what if you were made of yarn?

In this game for the Nintendo Wii, you are basically a pink puffball that is called Kirby. The story begins when a sorcerer made of YARN called Yin-Yarn captures Kirby by sucking him into a MAGIC SOCK that teleports Kirby to a place called Patchland. There he meets a blue boy named Prince Fluff. Prince Fluff is native to Patchland and is trying to sew his home back together with magic yarn. Yin-Yarn stole the magic yarn from Patchland and is now attempting to take over Dreamland and turn everybody into yarn. That’s right… yarn. This is NOT weird at all… apparently.

*Spoiler Alert*
I liked Kirby’s Epic Yarn because it’s so fun. You can never lose a life; only lose beads (Patchland’s form of money). There are 9 worlds to play in, and you need all of the magic yarn to stitch together Prince Fluff’s home. Once you beat 8 bosses, you will travel through yet again another MAGIC SOCK that teleports you to Dreamland, where Yin-Yarn has turned into a yarn… well, I guess a PARADISE made of yarn for him. After you defeat the stage Dedede Castle (I prefer to call King Dedede King Fatpenguin because he’s a fat penguin), you get a Happy Bells patch (I don’t remember what it’s called; I only know it has something to do with bells) and Yin-Yarn will come out. This fight was pretty fun, but most other bosses are hard if you’re used to playing with somebody like your friend or sibling. Oh, unless you have played solo the entire game. Congrats, you have just beaten Kirby’s Epic Yarn! There are extra stages that you do not actually HAVE to play to get through that world just absolutely DIEING to be played. Those, I believe, are extra levels for more fun. There are levels like Meta Melon Isle (what?) and Battleship Halberd, but those are both in Dreamland. There are others in the worlds like Grass Land and Space Land (that sounds ridicules). You can also play hide and seek with some floating yarn thing named Zeke, who lives in a home with only two pieces of furniture in it: a flower couch and a flower clock. The weird thing is, you don’t know if Zeke is a boy or a girl, so she/he doesn’t make sense. But hey, who really cares? I certainly don’t. I just play hide and seek with Zeke. Oh, hey, that rhymed. (Zeke and seek).

So, if you like games with extremely cute characters, I give this game 5 paws. Also: I think Kirby is cuter than a kitten in a cup. He’s absolutely ADORABLE!
