How to play Kid Kirby on Mac
Game summary
Briefly revealed in gaming publications, Kid Kirby was a prequel to the Kirby series starring Kirby as a baby. It was developed by DMA Design, who also developed Lemmings and Uniracers.
While very few details are known about the gameplay, a former DMA employee revealed official artwork and maps from the game.
The game was designed to be played with the SNES Mouse, but as sales of the mouse were declining, Nintendo wanted the game to play with a controller instead. The gameplay suffered as a result, and the game was eventually cancelled.
Play Kid Kirby on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Kid Kirby on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Kid Kirby installation steps for Mac
Step 1
