''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'' (''Touch! Kirby Super Rainbow'' in Japanese, and ''Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush'' in British English) is the only ''{{Franchise/Kirby}}'' game for the UsefulNotes/WiiU, and a CreatorDrivenSuccessor to ''VideoGame/KirbyCanvasCurse'' with similar gameplay using a claymation-esque graphical style with the addition of various transformations. It was released on January 22, 2015 in Japan, North America on February 20, 2015, Europe on May 8, 2015, and Australia on May 9, 2015. While Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee are enjoying a beautiful day, a mysterious force suddenly invades and drains all of the color and life from Dream Land. Thankfully, a paint fairy named Elline appears and revives our heroes, and they soon set off to stop this enigmatic foe.

Insistent Terminology — what games call "levels" are called "stages" in Kirby series games.


To navigate the levels, you must draw rainbow ropes for Kirby to ride upon; he also has a ramming attack he can use if you touch him. Hidden within the levels are plenty of stars, extra lives, and treasure chests, which allow you to collect goodies such as figurines and songs for the SoundTest. At the end of each level, you are ranked for your performance with bronze, silver, or gold medals. Along with going solo, the game features a unique co-op mode where other players can carry Kirby around and toss him to reach otherwise inaccessible places. Toys/{{amiibo}} functionality is also available; scanning in ''Kirby'' series amiibo allows you to use special costumes that enhance Kirby's abilities.

* GuideDangIt: While beating the stages themselves isn't unreasonably tricky, some of the treasure chests are darn near impossible to find without consulting a walkthrough. A good example is in the second to last level, ''Wonder Space''. It's very easy for players to just get off the gondola and head for the door. But by doing this you end up missing the 4th treasure chest which have to Star Dash upwards in the spot you get off in order to reach it and the game offers no real hint to this.
