The game follows Sonic 2’s side-scrolling stage design, with players running, jumping, rolling, and using momentum through loops, springs, slopes, and hazard-heavy set pieces. Kirby can float to adjust jumps and use copied abilities to handle enemies and terrain more flexibly. Progress is stage-based, with a mix of fast sections, platforming challenges, and item collection.

Kirby
The playable lead, replacing Sonic, with speed, jumping, inhale, and copy-based abilities.
Partner character
The helper character replacing Tails, mainly supporting progression and combat.
Learn the layout of slopes, springs, and traps before pushing full speed through unfamiliar areas. Use Kirby’s floating ability to correct landing spots and recover from awkward jumps. In tighter enemy clusters, play more carefully and rely on copied abilities or controlled movement rather than constant rushing. Chemical Plant-style stages especially reward patience and route memorization.

Tips and tricks
Use floating first when you need to fine-tune your landing on high platforms.
