Kirby's Avalanche, known in Europe as Kirby's Ghost Trap, is a puzzle video game co-developed by HAL Laboratory, Compile and Banpresto. It was released by Nintendo on February 1, 1995 in Europe and in April 25, 1995 in North America for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the Western release of Japanese Super Puyo Puyo.
In the game, as in all Puyo Puyo games, groups of two colored blobs fall from the top of the screen. You must rotate and move the groups before they touch the bottom of the screen or the pile, so that matching-colored blobs touch from above, below, the left or the right. Once four or more same-colored blobs touch, they will disappear, and any blobs above them will fall down to fill in the space. If a player manages to set off a chain reaction with these blobs, rocks will fall on the other player's screen destroying it and causing them much woe. The number of rocks that falls depends on both the number of blobs popped and the number of consecutive chain reactions. These rocks will only disappear if a player manages to pop a group of blobs that are in direct contact with the rocks.
NOTE: The game's storyline in "Super Puyo Puyo" remains unchanged from the Arcade version. The story plot listed below is from the Western version of the game.
King Dedede has challenged Kirby and other members of Dream Land to a Ghost Trap/Avalanche Competition at the Fountain of Dreams. Kirby decides to take on the challenge, battling his way through the forest in Ghost Trap/Avalanche matches against an assortment of his old foes from Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Adventure (Including recurring bosses such as Whispy Woods, Kracko and Meta Knight), and ultimately to a final showdown at the Fountain of Dreams with King Dedede to win the Cup.
