Kirby is basically a ball, and you control him using brush strokes that you "paint" with the stylus. He attaches himself to the stroke and rides on it in whichever direction he is moving. You can also block enemy attacks and obstacles, and it is also used to keep Kirby underwater in certain levels. The level design is varied and well done, and there alot of unlockables that can be purchased with 250 medals that have to be found/earned. There are a bunch of fun minigames as well, plus 4 characters that give the game a very different feel supposedly (haven't unlocked any of them yet). You can take the ability of the enemies just like the other Kirby games.


Hopefully this is the start of a slew of good DS titles to come.
