Kirby's Super Star Stacker

Error Messages

Region Lockout

Attempting to play the game on a PAL console will hang the game on this screen after it fades in on boot. The game was originally intended to be released outside of Japan, but due to the end of console support for the SNES in America and Europe at the time, it went unreleased, making this screen appear a bit awkward.

Incorrect Controller

Plugging any other controller other than a Joypad will boot the game on this screen.
