Kirby Super Star, released as Kirby's Fun Pak in PAL regions, is a platforming video game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. The game was advertised as featuring eight games: seven short subsections with the same basic gameplay, and two minigames. Kirby Super Star sees players take on the role of Kirby, who can float around the screen, inhale blocks and enemies and spit them out. By swallowing certain enemies after inhaling them, Kirby can copy their abilities and use them as his own, becoming able to perform a wide range of attacks. A unique feature of the game is the addition of helpers. When Kirby is in possession of an ability, he can choose to transform it into a helper character which can be controlled by a second player or the computer AI.

And Super Stars one of the many reasons for that.
It amazing how one of the first titles in the series, a game from 1996 is able to provide such a unique experience that stands out even to this day.
The formula of the series is already incredibly solid, both incluiding not just the immensely deep copy abilities, but the chance to trasform them into playable charcacters for co-op immensely raises the quality of the already perfect gameplay.
Not only that, but the different modes offer so much variety, outstanding even for the time. Spring breeze is a chilling homage to the first game in the franchise, Dyna Blade is a solid harder mode, Gourmet Race is a great racing experience, Great cave offensive turns the game into a literal metroidvania, and Revenge of Meta Knight is one of the best things I have ever played in a 2D platformer...... oh and Milky way wishes features Marx. Marx is the freaking best. I love that guy.
The extra modes included in the DS reamke can make you feel like something is missing in the SNES release... but other than that Kirby SUper Star is a game that will be able to appeal to any fan of videogames. A must play for everyone.
