Coordinate the GamePad player with spear-wielding partners.
Edition covered
Original Wii U game, titled Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush in PAL regions. Kirby uses drawn rainbow ropes, while additional local players control Waddle Dees.
Assign Kirby’s route to the GamePad player

One player draws for Kirby. Up to three additional local players use Waddle Dees with conventional controls.
| Role | Action | Coordination cue |
|---|---|---|
| Kirby player | Draw ropes and dash | Call the intended landing |
| Waddle Dee partner | Attack with spear | Clear the approach |
| Carrier | Pick up and throw Kirby | Wait for a safe drawn route |
| Extra partners | Cover nearby threats | Avoid conflicting throws |
Use partners to secure a landing
A spear user can clear enemies while the Kirby player concentrates on the rope. Agree where Kirby should be carried before crossing a hazard.
| Activity | Goal | Useful habit |
|---|---|---|
| Story collection | Recover missing chest | Use stage record |
| One-Minute Challenge | Clear timed rooms | Draw a direct route |
| Survival Challenge | Sustain a sequence | Favor reliable movement |
| Co-op replay | Coordinate team actions | Give one player carrying responsibility |
Treat Challenge Mode as its own task
Short rooms focus on collecting chests under a timer. Retry one route until its drawing and timing become consistent.
Keep optional amiibo effects separate
Compatible Kirby-series amiibo provide limited bonuses. The story can be completed through its normal drawing and collection mechanics.
