Kirby: Red Diamond

Kirby: Red Diamond, known in Japan as 星のカービー：レッドダイヤモンド (Hoshi no Kabi: Reddodaiyamondo, or Kirby of the Stars: Red Diamond, is a game released for the Game Boy Advance. It is the third Kirby game for GBA as well as the first GBA game to be made in well over 10 years.
BiggestKirbyFanEver1994 did not come up with the original idea for this game, but it is interpreted in his own way.
== Plot ==
Kirby finds a baby bird alone in her nest during one of his afternoon walks. Kirby takes the initiative to care of the chick by feeding her with Whispy Woods' apples. However, one of the apples turns out to be a shiny glowing red diamond. Kirby picks up the diamond and turns red and starts breathing fire, which burns Whispy Woods to a crisp. Kirby ends up inadvertently frightening the baby chick. When the chick flies away, Kirby follows after her.
== Gameplay ==
Kirby Red Diamond is a 2D sidescroller platformer in which players assume the role of the series’ titular protagonist, Kirby.
Unlike the majority of Kirby games, Kirby does not gain Copy Abilities upon swallowing enemies that hold special abilities. Instead, Kirby has with him in his possession a Red Diamond at all times. The Red Diamond has the power to change the color of Kirby’s skin and grant him a Copy Ability. The B button is used to make Kirby perform said Copy Abilities. Though it cycles through only one at a time, the player can change Kirby’s color at any time they wish with the press of the L button. Therefore, this concept works essentially the same as the Copy Essences Deluxe mechanic from Kirby Super Star’s ”Milky Way Wishes” sub-game.
=== Alive-Enhanced Features ===
When the game is played on the Alive console (with Transfer Pak Advance and Game Boy Player boot disc), special features can be accessed.
For example, players can use the Touch Center to move the screen around and show more parts of the level.
