The Platinum Choice goes to...takuya! I found myself laughing as soon as I looked at this shot. The idea of using the blocks in one of the secret HAL Rooms to spell something out - wow! There were a few submissions that used this idea, but takuya's was the first. The timing of Kirby's pose is great, too. I can almost hear him shouting "HA!" By the way, in recent titles, the bellow you hear when Kirby hits full volume using the Mike ability is voiced be me. Well, when I say "recent", I mean ever since Kirby Super Star Ultra, eight years ago. Time really flies, doesn't it? Ah...that takes me back! Congratulations, takuya!

The Gold Choice goes to キュービィ! Using a gaggle of Bronto Burts clustered around Kirby to create the image of a UFO floating in the moonlight is quite a feat! Even the shadow is shaped like a UFO. And did you spot it…? There's a bona fide unidentified flying object in the background of the shot. What attention to detail! That comet only appears at specific time, so it's what you might call a genuine hidden feature. Congratulations, キュービィ!

The first Silver Choice goes to GreyFox! There were a few snowman-related ideas, but the placement of the dejected-looking head off to the side in this one is really comical. By the way, recent Kirby games seem to have a thing about snowman-related mechanics. This is the third game to have them. Did you notice? Well done, GreyFox!

The second Silver Choice goes to Enik! This scene really makes it look like the Helper system from Kirby Super Star has been resurrected, with Kirby taking on Kracko, assisted by Waddle Doo. I mean, that's not actually what's happening here…but it sure looks like two-player action, and it sure looks fun! Good job GreyFox and Enik!

The first Bronze Choice goes to Treat! What fabulous skill, balancing on two balls at once! Timing the shot to capture that dynamic transformation was a good idea, don't you think? I also really like the way the composition of this screenshot makes the most of the 3D nature of the stage.

The second Bronze Choice goes to nao.com. Wow, it looks like Kirby is using the whip to peel away the corner of that painting in order to reveal its secrets! Another triumph of imagination, this one!

The third Bronze Prize goes to パステル! Wha-?! It looks like the Robobot Armor is rolling towards Grizzo! Maybe he's playing Robobot soccer with Waddle Dee? Capturing the armor upside down like this makes for quite an iconic shot.

The fourth Bronze Choice goes to Alan! This one really made me chuckle. In it, we see the dozing Meta Knight, about to realize that he has completely missed his train! This snapshot of Meta Knight's secret shame is pretty unique.

The fifth Bronze Choice goes to カズキ! We had a lot of submissions using the train seats, but this one is pretty spectacular. It looks like Kirby has made everyone jump out of their seats by bursting into raucous song in the middle of their commute! I really like the way it tells a story. Well done to Treat, nao.com, パステル, Alan and カズキ!

Right! The first Secret Kumazaki Fave goes to ブラウン! Sorry to all of you that don't read Japanese - this one's kind of a Japanese joke! By taking the screenshot midway through Haltmann's line, ブラウン has made it look like Haltmann is saying "ヤバ" ("Yikes!") instead of "ヤバン" ("Savages!"). Maybe in this screenshot's version of reality, Haltmann got his backside stuck in the chair or something? It's true that he does scoot around everywhere in that chair without doing much getting up and walking, so perhaps he really is stuck in it!

The second Secret Kumazaki Fave goes to たる! M-Mario? Punching a hole in the ceiling?! This screenshot really shows that Mario is not to be messed with! I don't think even the great Kirby could withstand such an attack!

Multilanguage

The third and final Secret Kumazaki Fave goes to ロヘイ! This screenshot seems to depict the extraordinary meeting of the Lor Starcutter with…itself! This craft is capable of traversing space and time, so a meeting of two Lor Starcutters from different times is certainly possible. Wow, wouldn't it be cool if that really happened? I wonder - the Lor Starcutter that can be seen when Galacta Knight performs this attack...what time is it from? And, if there is someone inside it, who are they, and where are they going? Presumably, when the rift opens and we can see them, they can see into our world, too! Ooh, it really sets the imagination racing, doesn't it! Congratulations ブラウン, たる and ロヘイ!

I enjoyed selecting the screenshots as much, if not more, than selecting the drawings - but it was all great fun! This event proved to me how much people are enjoying the game, and that makes me really happy. Thanks so much for participating. I'll see you all again soon!
