Overview
Kirby Fighters 2 is a light hearted fighting game where you play as the round Nintendo character, Kirby. You can choose from various abilities that your character "copies" from opponents. You fight other characters from the Kirby games in fights against the computer or up to four friends.
Unlike more involved fighting games, Kirby Fighters 2 offers a light touch experience for all ages. Jump straight in and experiment to find the Copy Ability that matches your play style, with simple controls and easy-to-learn moves.
There's also a two player cooperative story mode where you go on a short adventure through a series of fights in different locations.
