Kirby: Power Paintbrush Hints & Cheats

Kirby: Canvas Curse Unlockables

New characters to play in regular game and time trial/ink trial mode.

To unlock the first new character, Waddle Dee, beat the game once. He is exactly the same as Kirby except for the fact that he has four life, is a bit lighter, and cannot obtain powers.

The second new character, King Dee Dee Dee, is purchasable for 20 medals once you get Waddle Dee. He is large, strong, heavy, sinks in water, wind has less of an affect on him, has 7 life, and swings his hammer when you touch him. If you hold the stylus on him, he will continue to swing his hammer. He cannot get powers either.

The third new character is Metaknight. He is purchasable for 25 medals once you get King Dee Dee. He is almost twice as fast as Kirby and cannot get powers, but he only has 3 life.

The fourth character, Waddle Doo, (the kind with Beam ability), is available only once you beat the entire game with all four of the other characters. He has 5 health, is Kirby’s weight, and has a perpetual Beam ability, touch him to use it. If you hold your stylus on him, the beam will continuously spin around him.

The game will keep track of what stages you beat with each character, and you will be awarded medals for beating the game with each character.

Kirby: Canvas Curse Easter Eggs

  • Alternate title Screen

    When you beat the game 100%, when you load up the title screen it will be blue instead of the normal white.

Kirby: Canvas Curse Secrets

  • Easy Unlock Waddle Doo

    Normally, you would have to unlock Waddle Doo by beating the game with the other four balls. However, if you own a copy of Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland or Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, place it in the GBA slot of your DS when you beat the game. The next file you load will have Waddle Doo unlocked.

  • Recharge paint supply in midair

    When you pick up a powerup that lets Kirby hover, such as Beam or Spark, hold Kirby in midair by pressing him with the stylus. He will hover until the stylus is removed, and the paint supply recharges while he hovers. This is useful for when Kirby is too high in the air to recharge normally.

  • Easily unlock Nightmare In Dreamland music

    Rather than buying it for fifty medals after acquiring 200 allready, simply insert a Nightmare In Dreamland or Amazing Mirror gamepack into the GBA slot. What to spend those last fifty medals on? I have no idea.
