Kirby's Epic Patchifyer is a web game in the Kirby series. It was developed and published by Nintendo in 2011 as a promotion for Kirby's Epic Yarn. The game was held on the Kirby's Epic Yarn microsite on Nintendo of Europe's website until May or June 2018.[citation needed]
Gameplay[]
Kirby's Epic Patchifyer is a photograph editor. After uploading a photo and placing it in the frame, the player is able to apply various effects to it. One of three frames (brown, white and fuzzy, and blue and crenellated) can be placed on the photo's borders. With the stitch tool, the player can click and drag the cursor across the image to create stitching. The stitching comes in five patterns and eight colors: white, red, light green, dark green, yellow, sky blue, pink, and indigo. Patchwork can be added to the photo, and each piece can be rotated and resized. The 11 patchwork categories include:
| Category | Patches |
|---|---|
| Kirby 1 | Off-Roader, Tankbot, Rocket, Fire Engine, Saucer |
| Kirby 2 | Kirby jumping, Submarine, Pendulum, Parachute, Car |
| Kirby & Friends | Kirby, Prince Fluff, Zeke |
| Bosses | Yin-Yarn, King Dedede, Fangora, Meta Knight |
| Enemies | Waddle Dee, Blipper, Bronto Burt, Uniclod |
| Buttons | Cyan button with one yarn strand, brass button, red button, cyan button with two yarn strands, orange button with two yarn strands |
| Ocean | Seashell, life preserver, anchor |
| Plants | Foliage, cactus, palm tree, plateau, tree |
| Holidays | Teddy bear, snowflake, snowman, stocking |
| Sky | Rainbow, UFOs, Saturn, cloud |
| Misc | Meat, lantern, star |
Buttons below the tools and photo serve to ease the player's creation. The Instructions tab brings up a comprehensive walkthrough of each tool and button function. Undo undoes the last action the player performed, and can be clicked repeatedly to undo several actions. Redo redoes the player's last action, though using it repeatedly after a series of undos does not redo all the actions. Start Over deletes the photo and effects; as a safeguard, it requires two clicks to be performed.
When the player is content with the creation, the remaining three buttons come into play. Print allows the player to print the "Patchifyed" picture. Save downloads it, and Share posts it to the user's Facebook account once Facebook's terms and conditions are accepted.
