Kirby's Dream Course (known as カービィボウル
"Kirby Bowl" in Japan) is a very innovative golf game. The game combines elements from the Kirby series (enemies, environments, and Kirby's ability to absorb skills) with the rules of golf, creating in a unique style of gameplay.

Don't be fooled, this game is harder than it looks.

In fact, RAM cleaning by instant resetting is incomplete, and the
water-bouncing memory is not cleaned when instant resetting the game.
- When Kirby has maximum top spin and he is on the water until first bounce, the memory is renewed.
- First two bounces on the water just after the memory renewal never sink in the pond. (It is used at normal course 3-5.)
- After that two bounces, the quantity of the slowdown by the water becomes smaller than usual until restored for some kind of causes. (It is used at normal course 8-2.)
(Quoted from
gocha's TAS)
The final battle with Dedede is not necessary to unlock all of the secrets in the game, but it is required to see the ending, so I have included it for completeness sake. Besides, Kirby must defeat Dedede to fulfill his goal of restoring the beautiful starlit sky, right? I fight Dedede in normal mode rather than extra mode. In extra mode, Kirby deals half as much damage to Dedede, which prolongs the battle but makes it none the more interesting.
Enjoy the run!
