About Kirby ~ Soft & Wet

The loop is cast, catch, collect. Each stage has its own fish to discover, every catch goes into your Fishbook, and the ones you keep stock a personal aquarium. Cosmetics are a big part of it: paint jobs, hats and dollar-store tackle to equip before heading out. Dream Friends from the Kirby series join you at the water's edge, each bringing their own character to the trip.
