Kirby's Avalanche Super Nintendo

A SNES localization of Japanese game Puyo Puyo, Kirby's Avalanche was never released in Japan. After Sega's successful attempt to bring Puyo to the West with Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine for the Sega Genesis, Nintendo wanted to port Puyo Puyo to the SNES with a Nintendo character. Hal Laboratory, Inc. and Compile developed Kirby's Avalanche and the game brought many firsts to the Kirby franchise. The soundtrack contains remixed tracks from Kirby's Adventure and Kirby's Dream Course, with one track from Puyo Puyo. It is the first game in the Kirby series to have voices, and Kirby and other characters between rounds speak in complete sentences. It is also the first game to call Meta Knight by his name and where he appears with his current design with sword and cape.
