Kirby's Yarn Adventure

Kirby's Yarn Adventure is an RPG based on Kirby's Epic Yarn. It was released on the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Wii U in 2012.

Story
The protagonist (Kirby or Kristine, based on whether you choose to be a boy or a girl) leaves their home in Quilty Square to gather information on the study of yarn using Professor Buster's Yarn Record.

Gameplay


The game's overworld uses similar controls and area design to Kirby's Epic Yarn. The enemies will simply walk around, and either bumping into them or using your Yarn Whip on the enemies will trigger battles against them. The battles are turn-based, similar to the battles in Pokemon games. You can enter your inventory and Yarn Record (which contains information on Yarn Pals you've met) via the main menu.

Yarn Pals
Each Yarn Pal has either one or two classes. Below is a list of classes.


 * Patch Class: The basic class, with no strengths or weaknesses.
 * Nature Class: Weak against Fire Class, good against Water Class.
 * Fire Class: Weak against Water Class, good against Nature Class.
 * Water Class: Weak against Nature Class, good against Fire Class.
 * Wind Class: Weak against Cold Class, good against Mind Class.
 * Mind Class: Weak against Wind Class, good against Metal Class.
 * Cold Class: Weak against Metal Class, good against Wind Class.
 * Metal Class: Weak against Mind Class, good against Cold Class.

Scarfy


When a Scarfy's HP is at 51% or higher, they are in Happy Form and have fairly low stats. When the Scarfy is at 50% HP or lower, it becomes an Angry Scarfy with high stats. When an Angry Scarfy is healed to 51% or more of its HP, it becomes a Happy Scarfy again.

Sneak Sack
A Sneak Sack appears as one of your other Yarn Pals when sent into battle by the player. However, he retains his class and attacks. When a disguised Sneak Sack is attacked directly, his cover is blown.
