Kirby's Adventure/Mini-games

Mini-games can be found in rooms in world map for the various levels. They can only be visited once.

Crane Fever
The crane game gives you 2 chances to collect pink Kirby dolls. To get them, hold until the crane is directly above the doll, then release  and wait for the doll to fall through the slot (or not!). Collecting a small doll gives a 1-up, while getting a large doll gives 2 extra lives.

The catch for the large dolls is that they are harder to collect; they sometimes drop out of the crane on the trip back.

Egg Catcher
Eat all of the eggs thrown at you, but avoid eating the bombs. As you eat eggs, the meter on the left fills (up to 30), but eating a bomb ends the mini-game. Eating 30 eggs results in gaining 3 extra lives ("Perfect!"), eating 25-29 eggs results in a 1-up ("Bonus"), eating 5-24 eggs results in points ("Bonus"), and eating 0-4 eggs results in nothing ("No Bonus").

Quick Draw
Press when "Fire!" is shown on the screen or when you hear a loud beep. If you are too slow, the enemy will knock you out, ending the mini-game. However, pressing too early will result in a Foul. 2 Fouls will lose you the mini-game as well.

The bonus is awarded based on the number of levels you pass. Levels 1-3 will net you some points, Level 4 will net you a 1-up, and Level 5 will net you 3 extra lives.

Interestingly, beating Level 5 will show up as "Perfect!" (and play the matching sound), but beating Level 5 with a Foul will only show up as "Bonus" (and play a different sound) despite being awarded the same number of lives.
