Is there a point to the Goal Game?

Question

In Kirby's Return to Dreamland, you get to play a "Goal Game" at the end of each level. For world 1 at least, this is a game where you jump into layers of clouds using a slingshot/trampoline type thing. I never manage to get very high. Is there a point to this minigame? Is there something at the top of the clouds that I am just not getting to?

Answer

Not really. It's just another chance for you to get some extra stars and possibly an extra life. Here's how much you get at each level:

1. 30 stars
2. 15 stars
3. 10 stars
4. 5 stars
5. 3 stars
6. 1 star
7. No bonus

Note you don't actually get an extra life reaching the top (like you do in the original Kirby game), you just have to rely on getting 100 stars for that.

If you're playing cooperatively with multiple players, if you all land on the same level, you get (at least) twice the amount of stars if you were alone, otherwise you get whomever got to the highest level. I can't say for sure for more than two players, I haven't played with more than two people.
