Cancelled Games Wiki

Kirby Adventure (Also known as Kirby GCN or Kirby: Legend of the Stars) was a game planned for the Gamecube, but was scrapped later on. The game would've featured Helpers and possibly a Co-Op play.

Story[]

All of what's shown was that King Dedede stole Kirby's Warp Star and is trying to get it back from him. That's basically how the adventure starts.

Planned Copy Abilities/Helpers[]

Though all the Copy Abilities were never unused between the past and present, a few Helpers never made it along Kirby's big journey

Why was it Cancelled?[]

  • Though the reason is unknown, the producer (Shigefumi Kawase) said that the game was when he learned how difficult it is to make something both multiplayer and single player.

Results[]

  • Though the game was scrapped, the elements from that game would be recycled to make Kirby's Return to Dreamland.
  • Most of Kirby's buddies were returned into Kirby Star Allies.
