Compile co-developed Kirby's Avalanche with HAL Laboratory.
Kirby's Avalanche is a 1995 Super Nintendo Entertainment System puzzle game developed by Compile and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. It is the Western version of the Japanese game Super Puyo Puyo, redesigned with Kirby characters, settings, and dialogue for audiences outside Japan.
The game uses falling colored blobs rather than Kirby's usual platforming mechanics. Players connect matching blobs to clear them and send obstacles to an opponent, following the competitive puzzle formula associated with Puyo Puyo. Kirby battles a sequence of familiar Dream Land characters before facing King Dedede.
A common mistake is to credit HAL Laboratory alone because Kirby is Nintendo's character and HAL developed most mainline Kirby games. Compile supplied the underlying Puyo Puyo connection and development expertise, while HAL helped adapt the game into a Kirby-themed release. The game was never released in Japan under the Kirby's Avalanche name; Europe received it as Kirby's Ghost Trap.
