The kirby in Scratch

kirby
The appeal of Kirby lies in its colorful and adorable characters and unique world. Players control Kirby, who can inhale enemies and gain special abilities, in order to clear stages.
To express this appeal in Scratch, it is necessary to first create colorful and adorable characters. Scratch allows for the creation of custom sprites, which can be used to create original characters. Additionally, programming Kirby’s special abilities and the ability to switch between them can emulate Kirby’s unique gameplay.
To capture Kirby’s world, it is necessary to create stages. Scratch allows for the creation of custom backgrounds and objects, which can be used to create original stages. Additionally, programming enemy characters can help to create a Kirby-like experience.
Let’s explore how to express these qualities in Scratch together!

Controls:
Walk - Arrow keys
Crouch - Down arrow
Inhale - Space key
Jump & Hover - Up arrow
Note: Don't press the arrow keys when jumping, it's not ready yet. Also, avoid high platforms to prevent glitches. Hovering works, but it's still buggy, so I'll keep fixing it!
Crouch code by @Matcha-Latte. Thanks a lot for the help!
Lots of bugs!

The battle with the Godslayer Ende-Nir suddenly begins. With no abilities, I will do my best to reduce its health by sucking in stars and spitting them out as attacks. The bullet-hell is quite intense! But I really love the bullet-hell feeling! Dodging bullets while adjusting my floating and inflated position, I'll suck in stars and spit them out, executing this strategy meticulously to face Ende-Nir.
Controls:
Move: Left/Right arrow keys
Dash: Double-tap Left or Right arrow keys
Jump: Up arrow key
Hover: Rapidly press Up arrow key
Suck in: Spacebar
Spit out: Spacebar

Beam whip | A key |
Beam | S key |

Let's leave the battle to the side and look at the characters. I love the illustration in this so much. Kirby is cute in his own right, but this is a deformed version of Kirby which is even cuter. After all, Kirby has to be cute, right? Along side cute Kirby, Kracko is also depicted as a cutie. It's a sweet little battle between these two that almost makes me want to stop them from fighting.
#05 Kirby: The Dark Matter Strikes Back (unfinished)

A very Kirby-like scratch piece! It is a creation that loves the function of sucking in.
The abilities are also varied, so you can enjoy Kirby in earnest. Unfortunately, the story is an unfinished masterpiece that ends in the middle of the game. However, the quality of this game is high among Kirby's works, and it is well worth playing. You can enjoy it even if you're in the middle of it!
If you get the ability by sucking and swallowing enemies, you can swing a sword, do electric chattering, and many other attack actions. Of course, it is also fully equipped with spitting attacks.
Here is the Kirby I wanted to play.
How to use
Action | Corresponding key |
Walk | ←→ |
Jump | A key |
Inhale | S key |
Spit out | S key |
Use ability | S key (with swallowed or gained ability) |
Crouch | ↓ |
Swallow | ↓ |
Discard ability | Q key |
Enter door | up</td > |
*Once in a while there is a bug that causes you to get stuck in a wall and can't get away, but you can get out by hitting A repeatedly.

How to play
Action | Key |

Attack | Z key |

In this Scratch project, the "Constellation Dash" technique in boss battles shines as the singular defining moment that creates that satisfying gameplay experience. When players hit the attack button after dashing, it triggers a spectacular sequence - screen shake, magical effects, and star particles scattering everywhere as you blaze through enemies at lightning speed! The tactile pleasure of the controls meshes perfectly with the visual payoff. That moment when the screen rumbles with the "twisting inferno" sound effect? Pure gaming bliss. The generous hitbox means landing it right can chain into combos too. It's brilliant design that nails what makes games feel so darn good to play!

In this game, you control Kirby using jump, inhale, and spit actions to navigate through stages. The controls are straightforward: Z key to jump, X key to inhale and exhale, and arrow keys for movement, crouching, and hovering. You can also enjoy Kirby's dance moves and the ending sequence. Despite the lengthy 3-month development period, it's impressively lightweight at just 6.4MB - quite remarkable!

The Joy of Shooting Games
In this game, you control your character with arrow keys, attack with Z key, dash with X key, and activate slow motion with C key. When you narrowly avoid enemy bullets, you accumulate "Graze Power" - once the gauge is full, press "A" to unleash a powerful attack. This shooting game offers the thrill of strategically defeating enemies with simple controls.

The final boss of Kirby Star Allies, the ultimate god of destruction, Nil, is here to blow your mind with how tough he is. Personally, I really like his fourth form, which looks like a bowling ball. I kinda wish they’d do a collab with the bowling industry, haha!
