Pictures for this guide

Sword Kirby explores a grassy stage while stored bubbles appear on the lower screen.

Ice Kirby attacks in a lava-filled cave with a full bubble inventory.

Edition covered

Original Nintendo DS game, known as Kirby: Mouse Attack in Europe. Story play is single player; wireless multiplayer applies to supported sub-games.

Bring treasure to the stage exit

Kirby climbs through a brick structure with ladders and enemies.

A chest is secured by finishing the stage while carrying it. Large chests provoke Squeak pursuit, so obtain the chest with a clear exit plan and enough health to survive the chase.

Major treasure rewards
Reward	Function	Why collect it
Star Seal	Open the Secret Sea route	Required late progression
Ability Scroll	Improve a particular power	More moves or interactions
Vitality piece	Work toward higher health capacity	Greater survival margin
Spray Paint	Change Kirby’s color	Cosmetic collection
Secret Map piece	Build a special map	Extra collection reward
Ghost Medal piece	Assemble the Ghost Medal	Unlock Ghost-related encounters

Collect the five Star Seals

The Star Seals open the route to Secret Sea. If that part of the adventure is blocked, inspect missing treasure in earlier levels instead of replaying the same late boss.

Chest retrieval checks
Problem	Action	Reason
Full Copy Palette	Use or combine stored bubbles	Make room for treasure
Squeaks take the chest	Pursue and recover it	Stage exit alone will not grant a lost reward
Ability wall blocks treasure	Bring the matching power	Some routes require a specific interaction
Secret Sea remains closed	Check all five Star Seals	A required seal is still missing
Stage still shows missing treasure	Search its alternate route	A normal clear does not collect every chest

Separate collection rewards

Vitality pieces improve health, spray paints change color and ability scrolls improve individual powers. Music, graphic and map-related rewards fill different collections and unlock different extras.

Use stage treasure indicators

The stage display shows where treasure remains missing. Return with an ability suited to the blocked route, then prioritize the missing chest rather than every already collected pickup.
