----Game Interface----

Refer to the picture above for reference.
The number in the left-hand corner -

Your lives. Fall into a bottomless pit or empty your health bar and one precious life gone. Dieing while having zero lives will result in a GAME OVER. So, grab a 1-up or collect 30 stars to gain a life.

The top bar in the middle -

Your health bar! And this thing will determine Kirby's future. Be careless, and you are gone. Be careful, and you get to live another day. Fall into a bottomless pit, one life gone. Items help you along your way as well as one ability. Food stuff replenishes your health bar by a bit. The Maxim Tomato will totally refill it.

The lower bar in the middle -

Your star bar! Collect stars and watch this thing fill up. Collect 30 stars and you have an extra life. Different coloured stars have different values.

Blue -10

Yellow - 1

Red -20

Green -5

The two boxes on your left -

Whatever ability you had.
