Kirby’s Avalanche (Known as Kirby’s Ghost Trap in Europe) is a puzzle game that was released by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo in 1995. It was a later release for that system so the graphics, sound and music are all top notch…Of course, you can only do so much with a puzzle game.
Kirby’s Avalanche was exclusive to the Super Nintendo but it was really just a rebranding of Super Puyo Puyo which was released for a wide variety of systems, including the Sega Genesis. Game Play is pretty much the same but the graphics, sound and music were changed to be Kirby themed. However, these changes were only skin deep.
The game play is pretty straightforward. Two-piece multicolored blobs drop from the top of the screen. You try to rotate them such that when they land you match up the same colors. If you connect four of the same color then they disappear and the remaining pieces drop down. The game can be played one player against the computer or player vs. player. It’s not all that different from games like Columns or Super Puzzle Fighter among others. There is also a plot but it’s not all that important to the game for obvious reasons.
Kirby’s Avalanche generally got good reviews and if you are a puzzle game fan then there is no reason to believe you won’t like this one. There aren’t a lot of ways to play it though. It was re-released in 2007 via the Wii Virtual Console but that is the only other release I am aware of. However, if you don’t care that much about the Kirby theme, then Super Puyo Puyo (and other sequels and iterations) is basically the same game and is available on a wide variety of systems. Check it out on your favorite system or emulator.
