Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
Nintendo 64 · 2000
About this game
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is a polygonal side-scroller similar to Klonoa , although unlike in Klonoa the game only follows one set path instead of multiple branching paths.
In this game, Kirby can still copy the abilities of his foes, but in addition to this, he can combine these abilities with others to make unique combinations (for example, combining electricity and ice will turn Kirby into a fridge that spits out food).

The story begins with Dark Matter assaulting a faraway land for their special crystal.
A young fairy called Ribbon takes the crystal and escapes to save it, but Dark Matter shatters it, scattering its shards all across the different worlds.
Ribbon ends up in Dream Land with only one of the shards and meets with Kirby, who volunteers to help her find all the missing pieces.
Kirby will encounter his friends, who have been controlled by Dark Matter, and will have to battle them to rescue them.
From there, they will travel together to other different worlds, including Rock Star, Water Star, and Ripple Star, Ribbon's home world, where Dark Matter is lurking.
To properly finish the game, players must find all the hidden crystal shards tucked away in the various levels.
Only then will Kirby and his friends truly save Ripple Star.
About Nintendo 64
The Nintendo 64 (1996) stuck with cartridges after most competitors moved to CDs, trading longer load times for near-instant game access and durability that's held up well over nearly three decades. N64 cartridges are largely intact and functional today, and while common titles are affordable, several late-release and multiplayer-focused games with smaller print runs have become firmly established as valuable collector pieces.
Gamevaro tracks Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards for Nintendo 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This N64 release dates back to 2000.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
