Kirby Mass Attack medals, Rainbow Medals and Necro Nebula
Track the special collection that opens the final island.
Edition covered
Original Nintendo DS game. The adventure controls a group of up to ten Kirbys with the stylus, without the normal inhale-and-copy system.
Collect medals away from the main path
Ordinary stages hide three or five medals. Look for side passages, timed opportunities and objects that need a larger group to manipulate.
| Type or count | Meaning | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| 186 total medals | Full medal collection | Long-term completion |
| 43 Rainbow Medals | Special subset | Final-island access |
| Three or five in a regular stage | Stage medal allocation | Check every displayed slot |
| Boss stages | No ordinary stage medal hunt | Focus on winning the fight |
Prioritize each stage’s Rainbow Medal
There are 43 Rainbow Medals among 186 medals overall. The complete Rainbow set is required to reach Necro Nebula, so their role differs from ordinary collection progress.
| Clue | Possible requirement | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy group object | Enough Kirbys | Return with a larger team |
| Off-route passage | Exploration | Inspect above and below the exit path |
| Timed mechanism | Correct action sequence | Learn the timing before committing |
| Necro Nebula unavailable | Missing Rainbow Medal | Audit all 43 stage targets |
Use Daroach’s hints for missing targets
The airship’s guidance helps identify unfinished stage work. Combine the hint with the missing medal slot instead of replaying every room without a target.
Return with enough Kirbys
A hidden route may depend on a group interaction even when the stage itself permits fewer Kirbys. Rebuild the team before replaying a medal room that rejected a weak group.
