Super Kirby Clash is a 2019 free-to-play action role-playing game developed by HAL Laboratory and Vanpool and published by Nintendo. A spin-off title in the Kirby series, the game has players control a team of Kirbys as they fight a variety of enemies to complete quests and defeat the villain Parallel Nightmare. Each battle features four Kirbys, with the player controlling one and the other three being controlled either by the game or other players. These Kirbys can each take on one of four classes: Sword Hero, Hammer Lord, Beam Mage, and Doctor Healmore, each with unique abilities. The game also prominently features microtransactions through its Gem Apple currency, which can be used to purchase stronger gear and unlock new quests.
Super Kirby Clash is a sequel to Team Kirby Clash Deluxe for the Nintendo 3DS, which is an expanded version of a minigame from Kirby: Planet Robobot for the same console. The game was announced in a Nintendo Direct on September 4, 2019, and released for the Nintendo Switch that day, reaching over four million downloads by the end of the year. It received mixed reviews, with the battles being praised but the use of microtransactions being criticized.
