SUNDAY / 5:00 AM

The sun rises over the gentle hills of Dream Land…

Our cheerful hero, Kirby, has just woken up! He tumbles out of bed with a stretch, wipes away the last bit of drool, and waddles outside. With no plans for today, Kirby is ready for whatever fun—or food—might come his way!

Finding a cozy spot beneath a shady tree, he takes a big bite of a fresh apple and smiles, perfectly content…

But while Kirby dreams of peace…

YOU have a very different mission. Hired by King Dedede himself, and promised a hefty reward, your job is simple: Catch that "pesky puffball"! Or whatever he calls him. You're mainly in this for the money.

And so, as Kirby munches happily, he doesn’t notice you approach… the giant net in your hands… the wanted poster in your grip… until…

Kirby blinks up at you

“Poyo…?”
