Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a 2015 platforming video game in the Kirby series, developed by HAL Laboratory for Wii U. The title, which is a follow-up game of the 2005 Nintendo DS title Kirby: Canvas Curse, was released by Nintendo on January 22, 2015 in Japan, February 20, 2015 in North America, May 8, 2015 in Europe and May 9, 2015 in Australia. The game supports the Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede amiibo. It was released under the alternative titles Touch! Kirby Super Rainbow in Japan, and Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush in Europe.
Known Issues
Lines regularly disappears since 1.20.0
Since rewrite of buffer cache in Cemu 1.20.0 line drawn by player tends to frequently turn invisible. This makes game rather awkward to play in some sections but still completable.
Configuration
To play, use a "Gamepad" profile (Pro Controler doesn't work) and the "Separate Gamepad View" to play the game with your mouse (buttons which only appear on the gamepad and not on the TV).
