'''Kirby Super Star Ultra''' is a remake of the earlier ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Five new games were added, bringing the total up to fourteen games. Along with the games, there are also new cut scenes and graphics.

=Gameplay= 

Most of the games in the collection are platformers. As in most platformers, Kirby must avoid hazards and defeat enemies. Unlike past Kirby games, Kirby uses a bar rather than capsules to represent health. Kirby's powers were also more versatile, with each power giving Kirby a variety of moves rather than just one.

Perhaps the best feature of the game was the helper. The helper was an enemy turned ally. In this version, only computer-controlled helpers were available.

=New Games=

*'''Meta-Knight Ultra'''
This game is a new adventure. It follows Meta Knight training for the ultimate battle. Meta Knight revisits the levels from the original game - Spring Breeze, Dyna Blade, Revenge of Meta Knight, Great Cave Offensive, and Milky Way Wishes where he challenges the ultimate warrior, [[Galactic Knight]].'''
*'''Revenge of the King'''
Angered about his loss, Dedede gets his revenge on Kirby in a more difficult remix of the Spring Breeze game.'''
*'''Helper to Hero'''
Similar to the Arena, but playing as one of the many Helpers in the game. Each have their own abilities and attributes. '''
*'''True Arena'''
The ultimate challenge has Kirby face all of the new bosses from Kirby Super Star Ultra, including the final four bosses.'''

=Returning Games=

*'''Spring Breeze'''<br>''Spring Breeze'' is a remake of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' using the enhanced gameplay and graphics of ''Kirby Super Star''. Castle Lololo was removed from the game, with Lololo and Lalala becoming the boss of the Float Islands level. Kaboola, the original boss of the Float Islands was removed from the game. Also, the player was not forced to battle all of the bosses again at Mt. Dedede.'''
*'''Dyna Blade'''<br>A giant bird is terrorizing the country side and it's up to Kirby to stop it. ''Dyna Blade'' in one of two Kirby games that use an overworld map. Hidden in this game are two levels that give Kirby access to also any power.'''
*'''Gourmet Race'''<br>Part racing game, part paltformer, Kirby is competing with [[King Dedede]]. In ''Gourmet Race'', Kirby must reach the end of each level before King Dedede while eating more food than him. Along the way, there are powers to help Kirby.'''
*'''Great Cave Offensive'''<br>In this game, Kirby must try to reach the end of the game while collecting as much treasure as he can. Unlike most Kirby games, there are no "levels"; everything is interconnected. There are 60 treasures in this game. Some of them are nods to other Nintendo franchises including [[Portal: Mario Brothers|Mario]], [[Portal: Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda]], [[Portal: Metroid|Metroid]], [[Portal: Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]], [[Portal: F-Zero|F-Zero]], [[Portal: Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem]], and [[Earthbound]].'''
*'''Revenge of Meta Knight'''<br>In ''Revenge of Meta Knight'', Kirby attempts to destroy The Halberd before [[Meta Knight]] can take over Dream Land. Unlike most Kirby games, each level of ''Revenge of Meta Knight'' has a time limit. Going over the limit will cost a life.'''
*'''Milky Way Wishes'''<br>The Sun and Moon are fighting. In order to stop their fighting, Kirby defeats the bosses of various planets in order to reach NOVA, a machine that Kirby believes can solve his problem. Unlike most Kirby games, Kirby can't inhale abilities. Instead, he must collect Deluxe Ability Pedestals. However, once he has an ability, he can recall it at will.'''
*'''Samurai Kirby'''<br>''Samurai Kirby'' is a test of reflexes. Like in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' mini game ''Quick Draw'', the player must hit a button as soon as a symbol appears on screen to defeat their opponent.'''
*'''Megaton Punch'''<br>A game of timing, the player must try to hit the A button when an oscillating meter reaches its peak, when two cross hairs cross, and on the downstroke of a pendulum. The closer the player gets, the higher their score. A perfect score will send a crack across Popstar.'''
*'''Kirby Card Swipe'''<br>The player has four cards on the bottom screen; one card on the top screen is revealed. The first player to tap the matching card wins the round. The first player to win three rounds wins.'''
*'''Kirby on the Draw'''<br>This game is a shoot out. Two players compete with each other by shooting cardboard cut outs in a western setting. The players also have to manage their ammo, reloading when their gun is empty.'''
*'''Snack Tracks''' <br>Snack Tracks is the last of the new games added. Nothing has been revealed about it yet.'''
*'''The Arena'''<br>''The Arena'' is an endurance test. At the beginning, the player is allowed to choose their weapon, being given the choice of every ability in the game. The player must then fight a series of 21 battles with one life, five [[Maxim Tomatoes]], and a few random abilities. The battles include 16 boss battles, 2 battles against teams of mini bosses, and 1 battle against a single [[Waddle Dee]].'''
