Uhhh...idk what really happened here. I played like 7 dudes in a row, beat most of them in 30 seconds, heard a little bit of Masked Dedede, popped off, but then he died so nvm. Then this witch pulled up and beat my shit in and the end. Idk I don't speak Japanese and beat this on the can.
Love that Nintendo is adding previously Japan-only games to NSO! I'll need to play more of this game before I can fully form my opinion (probably with an English patch, so I can understand what the heck the names of the modes are). But from the little bit I played, this is yet another pretty fun variation on the falling block puzzle genre, with its main alteration to the formula adding a little more depth to the experience while still being easy to pick up. If you like games in this genre, or if you like Kirby, play this game.
I am kirby's strongest soldier
a perfect puzzle game I can't think of anything better in it's genre aside from Tetris and I think this is equals with it, this game is impossible to put down and tie it with a killer soundtrack and a beautiful artstyle and you got a time sink on your hands
good
I like the sprite work but I don't think puzzle games like this are really for me.
i like that it looks like kirby's dream land 3 (play kirby's dream land 3)
Amazing visuals & music can only do so much for a weak campaign and a puzzle system that, while fun, does not lead itself nicely into the main story.
kirby bombs you if you get too many funny hamster blocks
This should be at evo
What a lovely little puzzle game! I thought this would be a Puyo knockoff or a Match-3, but it's actually unique! You score points by removing stars from the board, which is done by sandwiching them between matching animal tiles. I had a great time! Cleared all 100 "Round Clear" challenges and then the brief story mode. No Japanese reading is required other than knowing that mode #1 is Endless, #2 is "Round Clear", and #3 is the story mode. Definitely worth downloading the Japanese NSO app for this!
A better remake
If you're a fan of Kirby's Star Stacker on Game Boy or being a nerd about how the Masked Dedede theme actually debuted in this game against Generic Unfair Puzzle game Final Boss #7000, this is the game for you.
Admittedly, I like Star Stacker well enough. It's like Puyo Puyo but a bit simpler for my smooth brain to look somewhat competent playing. The Dream Land 3 aesthetic is a nice touch as well.
If you've got a Japanese Switch account to get the online app with or perhaps some other dark forbidden method of finding old Super Famicom games (for the record, i definitely mean eBay), this is an interesting novelty. There's not a whole lot to it beyond an alright puzzle game, so I guess it going down as a trivia note in one of the franchise's songs is understandable.
This original version of the song doesnt even go that hard, not gonna lie

Fun cute story mode, I dunno how you're supposed to beat Gryll. This game actually is sane in its difficulty so it's instantly better then Kirby's Avalanche
Played on SNES actually, I got the game cart and modded my system.
Super adorable game that has such wonderful spritework, it's literally just a better version of Kirby Star Stacker. Getting to Grill is a little obtuse but beating her felt nice. The music is also great, it's a little known fact the Masked Dedede theme is based on his theme here. If only I could read the story though...maybe if I actually do learn to read Japanese I can revisit it...
Was it worth $250 and then the $130 I spent on the SNES, meaning I paid $380 to play this game?
Heck yeah it was it's Kirby!

10/10 visually. way too easy and gets old fast though (even on hard mode)
