"Kirby: Canvas Curse," released in 2005, is a unique Nintendo DS game where players control Kirby using the stylus to draw paths on the touch screen. The game features gameplay that requires drawing lines for Kirby to roll along, allowing him to traverse various environments filled with hazards and enemies. Players can stun enemies by tapping them and then use Kirby's abilities to defeat them, unlocking special moves. The game is structured around eight worlds, each with three levels except for world seven. Levels vary in themes, such as volcanic and frozen areas, and introduce hazards like rising lava that increase in difficulty. Players must navigate these challenges to reach the end of each level, which typically ends at a rainbow door. At the end of most worlds, players face boss battles against familiar enemies like Paint Roller, Kracko, and King Dedede, as well as the final boss, Drawcia Sorceress, who transforms into Drawcia Soul after defeat. The game also includes collectible "Medals" that unlock bonus content, such as character art and sound tests. The plot follows Kirby's quest to chase Drawcia, who casts a spell transforming Dream Land into paint.

The game concludes with a final battle against Drawcia in a world of black-and-white ink.
