Yes, like in New Super Mario Bros Wii, with the first player necessarily having to be Mario while the others can choose freely. Except this time there will actually be a difference in gameplay.

I'm just hoping there's the ability to play as them on your own in some way, shape, or form. Even if you can't until after playing through it once or something (think Canvas Curse, for example).

But yeah, lookin' forward to it for sure.

All I'm gonna say is this game better provide the following from its GC roots:
1) Breathtaking, beautiful scenery
2) More rides than just wheelie
3) Unusual settings for Kirby like this
4) This guy (unless Hal feels its too similar to the boss they put in Brawl)
5) And most of all, a kickass plot leading up to this

1) The trailer looked pretty good scenery wise. Perhaps not quite as fancy as those sceenshots, but definitely not bad and I'd say it's about as interesting as Air Ride's scenery (I loved how detailed the stages in Air Ride were).
2) Perhaps, although the trailer shows that you can still piggyback on one of the other players, like in the original GCN build.
3) I wouldn't worry too much about that. There are almost always some unique places in each Kirby game. Either way, I wouldn't really know what settings could be considered "usual" in this aspect.
4) Given how he has Triple D's emblem on him, may or may not. He'd have to have slight redesign changes to appear in the game and make sense. Seeing as Triple D is one of the playable characters in this game.
5) That'd be pretty badass, but each game usually has a unique and inspired endgame area (Rainbow Resort, Nova, or Ripple Star, anyone?).

I found it interesting that this hasn't been brought up at all, although I admit I only first saw of this just now. It appears to be a new DS Kirby game, although it appears to be a spinoff title that involves the use of multiple Kirbys (hence the name "Mass Attack" I suppose). Looks interesting too.

Eh, another "Kirby in name only" game in which the main character cannot copy enemy abilities.
There was a time in which Kirby could do that in any kind of game, even golf. Does Nintendo not know what "staple" means anymore?
Still, it looks like it may be fun.

This implies that Kirby's always had the copy ability (he didn't in the first game, if you don't recall) and/or this has been happening lately (which I don't think it has, last I checked. Unless Epic Yarn didn't but I haven't had the chance to play it yet).
