About Kirby: Squeak Squad
Get ready to revisit the whimsical world of Kirby in Kirby: Squeak Squad! Originally released for the Nintendo DS, this retro-style 2D platformer combines classic mechanics with an exciting treasure hunt. It’s Kirby at his lighthearted best, but don't let the cheerful vibe fool you—there are secrets lurking behind every corner.
The story starts in true Kirby fashion: someone’s stolen his strawberry shortcake. Suspecting King Dedede (as always), Kirby’s search takes an unexpected detour when he encounters the Squeaks, a mischievous gang of treasure-hunting mice led by the enigmatic Daroach. What seems like a simple cake chase unfolds into an adventure involving rival thieves and mysterious treasures.
With iconic pixel art and a soundtrack full of retro charm, Kirby: Squeak Squad is an inviting return to everything fans love about Cartoon Games, with a fresh twist.
