Kirby: Canvas Curse Nintendo Ds Paint Panic Faq Copyright Tyler Weier 2005. All rights reserved =============================================================================== By: Ultrawhiplash (also known as just Whiplash.) Hello! This is my First Faq, but don’t let that deceive you. That doesn’t mean I don’t know things. I have a strange memory, not quite photographic, but more like My Documents on your computer. So anything I learn about a game, it gets filed away in my imaginary Brain Computer. Plus I don’t give up on games. For Example, I hold the WORLD RECORD for Fastest Completion Time in Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World: 9 min 33 sec. Think you can beat it? If you do, you better tell me. I’ll stop at nothing to get it back. I already did once XD. (Long story, don’t ask.) The reason I decided to write this Faq on Paint Panic is because this mini-game interested me, since it had many nostalgic references, like the Triforce or the SSBM logo. So on with the Faq! And if you ever need help on a Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Sonic, Kirby, and any other Nintendo game (with the exclusion of Sonic, which is Sega’s) Email me at frostyinferno@sbcglobal.net. ***************** Table of Contents ***************** 1a.

If anything is wrong, just tell me! ============================================================================== ******************************** 1b. Intro to Kirby: Canvas Curse ******************************** Kirby: Canvas Curse is Played entirely on the Touch Screen, with the exception of the Start Button. The gameplay is very much like Yoshi's Touch and Go, except, K:CC is more inventive and enjoyable. Instead of clouds, you make lines to guide Kirby through various levels. Kirby can dash into enemies, and of course, take their powers. ***** Story ***** Kirby was taking a stroll in Dream Land, when suddenly, the colors changed and a strange witch appeared. With a wave of her brush, she changed the land into a painting. After seeing Kirby, the Witch flees into her portal, with Kirby right on her trail. He finds himself in a world of paintings, and challenges the witch, but fails and is turned into a helpless ball. Not able to move, he watches the witch escape. Kirby looks up, and finds the Witch's rainbow brush, which is transported to you (Maybe it's just me, but I seriously don't remember a magic rainbow brush flying out of a dimensional vortex into my face.) You are Kirby's only hope! ============================================================================== ************************ 1c. Intro to Paint Panic ************************ Paint Panic is a Mini-Game in Kirby: Canvas Curse. Normally it is a Boss Stage, but after beating it three times, you can unlock it for play in your subgames. Paint Panic is very fun, and involves using the stylus in a game of connect the dots to make pictures that should seem very familiar. You must use the stylus to draw lines to connect the picture Paint Roller Draws. You have to do it before the enemies hit you. If you miss a dot, the get closer to you. You have four pieces of vitality, and if you lose them all, game over. If you are playing it as a Boss Stage, this will count as losing. if you play it as a sub-game, it will go to records and yours will be recorded. Every time you get hit by the enemies you lose a vitality point. at the end of the stage, you will come to an area where you have to hit the flashing squares before they fizzle out. And extra points are awarded when you make good time with a drawing or if it's accurate. ============================================================================== ************** 1d. Characters ************** Kirby Everyone's favorite pink gelatinous blob (whether he is gelatinous or not is still debated.) returns, but this time, he really is a blob, simply a ball that needs your help. although he is only 12 inches high, he's pretty tall compared to the other residents of Dream Land, located on the planet of Pop Star. He has a bottomless belly like a yoshi, but How he can copy other enemies abilities is a mystery. Paint Roller This guy appeared in Kirby and the Magic Mirror, but this is the first time we have heard his name. Probably the best artist on Pop Star (Although Drawcia is good too), he sports a hat and roller skates, and can summon creatures from his paintings. He also seems to like Rock music, seeming how he holds his hand up with the "Rock on" gesture (Is that trademarked? :P). Kaboombas The "enemies" that follow you. They look sort of like missile-bomb things. In the main game they give you the crash ability. ============================================================================== *********** 2. Controls *********** Kirby: Canvas Curse is almost completely played using the Touch Screen, but the Start Button is also used. Paint Panic is no exception. However in Paint Panic, their are many control techniques using the Touch Screen: Straight lines: While straight lines are hard to make on the Touch Screen, they really help when you need extra points in accuracy. try playing on a flat and non-moving surface. Curved Lines: Sometimes using good curves can help get speed points by decreasing the time it takes to finish each picture. Tap: Tapping the screen is important for the flashing square part of the game. Don't tap to hard or it might damage the screen. Line Recover: If you realize you are going to miss a dot, turn back towards it, no matter how messed up your line is. All you have to do is connect it to the dot. Swipe: If you miss a dot with one left, it might be helpful to swipe the stylus across to the point to save some valuable time. ============================================================================== ************* 3. Game Modes ************* When you unlock Paint Panic as a Sub-game, their will be three levels: 1,2 and 3. Each is different, but 3 is the hardest. Pick the one that goes along with you skill level. Level 1. For the most part, Level 1 is quite easy, but some of the drawings might be more difficult. However, the enemies seem to move slower that in other modes, so you have more time. The game ends after you tap ten flashing squares. Level 2. It's safe to say that Level 2 is really just a beefed-up version of Level 1. But a lot more difficult pictures are added to it, less time is given to you, and so on. Also ends after the squares. Level 3. Level 3 is a whole other story. It only ends when you die. This is also the most important mode, since it is possible to get a medal here by getting 36,000 points. in order to get this, go slowly, but not really slow. Don't worry about the accuracy bonus. If you need help on this, just refer to the Controls section and the Drawing section. Bonuses: Speed Bonus: up to 200 Accuracy Bonus: up to 150 1-Stroke Bonus:up to 500 Penalties: Miss: -10 pts. Fail drawing: -250 pts. ============================================================================== *********** 4.
