Kirby: Squeak Squad, known in Europe as Kirby: Mouse Attack, in Korea as Byeol ui Kieby: Dauphin Ildang ui Seupgyeok, and in Japan as Hoshi no Kirby: Sanjō! Dorotche Dan (Japanese: 星のカービィ 参上! ドロッチェ団?, lit."Kirby of the Stars: They've Arrived! The Dorotche Gang"), is a platforming video game in the Kirby series developed by HAL Laboratory, Flagship and Natsume (the latter as seen in the end credits) and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. The game was released in Japan and North America in 2006, and in Europe, Australia and Korea in 2007.
As in most of his games, Kirby is able to copy the abilities of certain enemies by inhaling and swallowing them. There are also interactive environments, with obstacles that are passable with copy abilities (examples include freezing water to get across with the Ice ability, or cutting down tall tufts of grass with his Sword or Cutter ability). Kirby is also able to collect and store copy abilities and items in his stomach, which is represented on the touch screen. A special power, "Bubble", can be used to create such abilities from the monsters on the screen. The player can combine certain abilities, similar to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards; however, these are limited to only Sword, Fire, Ice, Spark, Bomb, and Wheel. Mixing abilities is achieved by dragging one ability over another with the stylus. If the two are compatible with each other, they will combine and produce a new ability (example: Fire + Sword = Fire Sword). This can only be done if the scroll (mentioned below) for a certain ability is found. However, if they are not compatible, they will combine to create a random bubble.
