Nintendo seems to allow for a little more experimentation with Kirby than with its other mascots. Canvas Curse is a good example, one clearly designed to emphasize playing with the stylus on the DS. For the most part, the design of indirectly controlling a rolling Kirby works. Abilities aren't the focus, but they can be fun when incorporated. Unfortunately, the final levels approach Kirby masochore and the final boss demands a precision that is out of place for the controls.
