How to Play the Fishing Minigame

Press the Matching Button to Fish

Press the buttons that pop up on the screen to reel in a fish. The more buttons come out on the screen, the bigger the fish will be, which will reward you with more Star Coins.

Pressing the wrong button will get you trash

However, pressing the wrong button will get you nothing but trash. Watch the button that appears carefully to avoid making a mistake and earning nothing.

How to Catch the Golden Fish

Catch Fish Consecutively

You can encounter the heaviest kind of fish in the game, the Golden Fish, by fishing consecutively. It may take you a couple of tries, but it shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes for one to appear.

Get Ready to Press X Button

Watch out for the buttons carefully, as the Golden Fish will try to fake you out after pressing 4 buttons correctly. The X button will always be the last key to press, so get ready to press it once the camera zooms in on Kirby after correctly pressing the previous buttons. Note that the window for pressing X the final time is very small, so you'll need to be very quick!

Rewards for Fishing

Get Star Coins

Weight	Reward
1 G ~ 500 G	1 Star Coin
501 G ~ 2000 G	5 Star Coins
7500 G ~ 8200 G	10 Star Coins

9500 G and up	500 Star Coins

You can get Star Coins depending on the weight of the fish you caught. Aim for the heaviest one to get the highest reward!

Fishing-Pond Kirby Figure

You can get the Fishing-Pond Kirby Special Figure after catching a fish that is 8500g or bigger (the Golden Fish). You'll know it's coming if you have pressed a couple of times already, and the screen zooms in on Kirby.
