I. SOME NOTES
==============================================================

The ABILITIES section is laid out as follows. First is the
name of the ability. Followed by a rating of its usefulness
out of five stars (my opinion, of course. You're free to
disagree.) Next, all of the different moves you can preform
with the power, and how to preform them. Then, the Pros (+)
and Cons (-) of each ability. Finally, there is a description
of the hat which Kirby wears when he gains that ability.

To TAP a button is to press it quickly.
To PRESS a button is to hold it down for roughly 1 second
To HOLD a button is to hold it down for 3 or more seconds

==============================================================
III. THE DOORS
==============================================================
In each level, there are large red switches hidden. If you
find and press one of these switches, you'll open a door back
to the Rainbow Route. If you need an ability in a hurry, these
doors are handy, because each one has two powers besides it.

Twigs - Beam, Stone
Beige Stone - Laser, Cutter
Purple Diamonds - Bomb, Fighter
Shells - Sword, Missile
Purple Veins - Fighter, Spark
Columns - Fireball, Stone
Face - Tornado, Stone
Water - Bomb, Parasol
Trees - Parasol, Spark
Castle - Cutter, Bomb
Ice Blocks - Ice, Angel
Ice - Fire, Fireball
Gray Rocks - Beam, Tornado
Red Rocks - Fire, Missile
Stars - Laser, Angel

Once you find all of these doors, a new Golden door will
open. Inside, there will the following powers:
Beam, Fighter, Spark, Hammer, Fireball, Bomb, Missile,
Parasol, Laser, Tornado, Smash, Sword, Fire, Wheel, Throw,
Cutter, Stone, Ice, and Angel.

==============================================================
IV. MASTER
==============================================================
Once you beat the game, Meta Knight will drop his sword in
the Rainbow Route. You'll be able to grab this sword whenever
you're there, and use it as you would a regular ability. When
you drop this ability, instead of becoming a star, the sword
itself bounces about the screen. If it is destroyed, it falls
down a hole, or you die with it, you have to return to Rainbow
Route to pick it up again.
The Moves are:
B: Chop - Kirby slices with the sword. Like the Sword ability
B (hold): Sword Wave - Kirby fires a Beam of Energy from the
sword. Like the Fighter ability
Dash + B: Sword Dash - Kirby dashes forward with the sword,
like the Fireball ability.
B (in air): Spin Chop - Kirby spins around with the sword,
like the Sword ability.
Down + B: Sword Smash - Kirby pounds the ground with the sword
Up + B: Sword Jab - Kirby stabs upwards with the sword.
This is a very handy ability to have. The only time you'll
need to drop it is if you need to go mini or light a fuse.
