Kirby: Canvas Curse, also known as 'Kirby: Power Paintbrush' in Europe, is a unique platforming video game released for the Nintendo DS in 2005. In this game, players use the DS stylus to draw rainbow-colored paths, or 'rails', on the touchscreen, which Kirby, who is stuck in a ball-like form, can roll along. The game is known for its innovative use of the touchscreen as the primary control method, requiring strategic drawing to navigate through various levels and defeat enemies. Its genre blends action, drawing mechanics, and platformer elements to create a distinct gameplay experience in the Kirby series.
