Kirby Super Star, released as Kirby's Fun Pak in PAL regions, is a platforming video game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo.

Kirby Super Star sees players take on the role of Kirby, who can float around the screen, inhale blocks and enemies and spit them out. By swallowing certain enemies after inhaling them, Kirby can copy their abilities and use them as his own, becoming able to perform a wide range of attacks. A unique feature of the game is the addition of helpers. When Kirby is in possession of an ability, he can choose to transform it into a helper character which can be controlled by a second player or the computer AI.

Description
About This Game
That awful King Dedede is at it again—h'es stolen all the food in Dream
Land! It's up to Kirby to get it back and ultimately save Popstar from
being taken over! Our round, pink hero will have to journey through six
main games and two minigames, finishing with the ultimate showdown in
the Arena. Each game offers its own story and variation of platforming
action, as well as unique environments and an assortment of enemies.
Swallowing an enemy allows Kirby to copy the abilities of that enemy,
granting him the power to perform special attacks and giving him a new
hat to don. Kirby can also give up an acquired ability and use it to
create a helper. The helper will follow Kirby around and automatically
fight as his ally—or offer a second player the chance to join in the
game by controlling it. There's never a dull moment as Kirby dashes,
flies, and fights!
