Game(s): Kirby's Dream Land 3
Players: 1
Type: Observation

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, on the third stage of each level there are mini-games Kirby must play to obtain Heart Stars. They all revolve around having careful observation skills and can be quite difficult.

Kirby must get three points in a row in each game to get a Heart Star. If he gets even one wrong, he will have to try again. After every correct answer the games get a little faster and harder, so focus is crucial to beat these games.

Once Kirby has beaten all of the mini-games, a new feature in the options will appear labeled as “M”. In this challenge Kirby takes on all of the mini-game one after the other. This needs to be completed without making a single mistake in order to gain 1% towards the 100% complete goal.

If Gooey is being controlled by the second player and not the CPU, they can select a different option than the first player. As long as one player gets the correct answer, the point is scored, meaning this can be used to double odds of success.
