The Big One is a golden giant of a fish that will reward you with 500 Star Coins and a figure of Kirby sleeping while fishing when you catch it. Getting it can be a little tricky if you don’t know what to expect going in.

To catch the legendary Big One, you need to be prepared to sit at the pond for a little bit. When you start, you’ll be catching smaller fish and gaining similar Star Coin rewards for them. Get yourself acclimated to pressing the buttons as soon as they pop up. The more successful you are in catching fish without failing, the bigger fish will begin getting hooked.

You will know you are getting close when Kirby begins trying to pull in fish after four button presses but has to continue the struggle. After a couple more presses, the camera will slightly zoom in. Be ready, there will be one more X press that will appear, and you have to press it almost instantly. Get it right, and you will pull up the golden fish and rewards.
