This is probably the best of the four 2.5D Kirby games. The level themes are so unique and the main "Robobot" gimmick is actually super well utilized throughout the campaign. My only problem is that the main story is way too easy, and I was able to get all 100 code cubes while playing casually. I didn't try the post-game though, so I'm guessing that's where the challenge is.
Another fantastic Kirby game. It’s a shame it came out so late in the 3DS cycle.

Planet Robobot is easily the best entry in the series so far. A lot of the other games have gimmicks that can be a little iffy at times or a need for collectibles to progress or unlock somethings, but luckily the gimmick of the game is perfect and the amount of collectibles you need is minimal and they're easy to find. The Robobot is a lot of fun to use and the Copy Abilities are fun to use with it. The new abilities are really fun, especially ESP which is one of my personal favourites. The level design is also the best here, with really great gimmicks, scenery, and the auto-scrollers are actually not bad (if you didn't know, I hate auto-scroller levels). I guess really the only thing I could think of for a complaint is the long final bosses, but I actually loved those because I really like boss fights in video games and these were pretty well made, so not a real issue for me just something others may not like. Overall, Planet Robobot is an excellent Kirby game in terms of level design and gimmicks and is easily my favourite at the moment.
El lore de kirby es algo que solo le interesa a quienes genuinamente disfrutan estas weas. De repente pausas en un jefe y descubres toda una construcción de mundo que permanece oculta a simple vista.
Kirby firing at all cylinders, to deliver his most refined adventure ever.
Probably one of my favorite Kirby games out there next to super star/ super star ultra, but I went into this game expecting not to like it. I didn't think it was going to be that interesting. But, after getting through like 95% of the game I can confidently say that it is high up there on my list, very fun and very challenging (still haven't beaten the true arena T_T).
Believe in the you that believes in yourself! Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens! 😭😭
I beat Planet Robobot last night, and I'm honestly ashamed I skipped on this one back when it was fresh. A few months ago, I said that Forgotten Land was the first Kirby game in a long time to fill me with awe. I'll admit, at the time, I had enough Kirby after Triple Deluxe, but in retrospect, I wish I had waited for Robobot instead. This has easily climbed my Kirby rankings, and is easily one of my favorite games in the series.
The premise is honestly killer. A space-hopping mega-corporation starts colonizing Popstar for profit, and Kirby's primed to stop them for his own well-being? I am surprised this wasn't done before, and it's such a great idea. I am not going to act like this game has some powerful social commentary; it is a kid's game, after all. Plus, the premise is swept aside at the end in favor of a larger, more abstract threat, which I wasn't a fan of. Regardless, it had its hooks in me all the way to the finale.
To be totally honest, I'm not a big fan of the Mech. Aside from the SHMUP segments; though those have always been a Kirby staple. That said, Mech gameplay isn't bad by any means. It's totally serviceable, and it's fun to experiment with different abilities while trying to get all the collectables. Still, I primarily play Kirby games for the core gameplay. Of which Robobot pulls from Triple Deluxe, which was already stellar. Mix that with fun level design, and exciting bosses, and I'd say the core Kirby gameplay is strong, here.
With the 3DS a quirky, legacy console, and the eShop defunct, I can't in good conscience tell anyone to find any way to play this one. It is a fantastic game, though, and if by chance, you have a 3DS, or are planning to get one, I'd chalk this one down on your list of games to acquire for it. Easily one of the best games on the handheld. It really does feel like the moment modern HAL finally got a grip on what made classic Kirby titles so great, and stuff like this and Forgotten Land has me excited for the future of this series.

Very underrated.
this is as good as return to dreamland. really great story, level design, music, and everything. a really fun time, i usually recommend this game to people trying to get into 2d kirby.
With amazingly varied and interesting level design and a very fun and genuinely great "gimmick", this is one of the 2D platformer greats
The mech concept was a great layer on top of the normal kirby fare that added quite a bit of variety and some interesting style to the game. One of the best Kirby titles in its history.
Building off of the formula the previous 2 games had, Kirby Planet Robobot is fun from beginning to end. The collectables are fun to get, each level is joyous to go through, and the copy abilities feel better than ever. The robobots themselves make for a great addition to the levels, adding a layer of excitement to using the copy abilities, and it was always a blast to run through the levels with them when the opportunity was presented.
Objectively, I think this is the best Kirby game. The worlds are super unique, the gameplay from Return to Dreamland has been refined and the new gimmick with the Robobot is probably the best gimmick in the series. What a finale too.
GOD como casi todos los Kirby. No es de los mas faciles entonces se siente a ratos dificultad y es muy disfrutable. Lastima que no recuerdo el boss final. Algo que recuerdo bastante es los niveles en que controlabas un cosito a control remoto mientras tu te movias por otro lado, era como una especie de puzzle pero platofrmas doble al tiempo, era divertido.
Kirby in a mech suit. This game rules.
Easily the best 2D Kirby game. Although, Triple Deluxe in the same system I have yet to play, so I was unsure if the moveset was also included, but there are soo many moves Kirby can do for each power up (Sleep still sucks). The Mechs you control also can inherit the power ups. I recommend collecting all the Code Cubes for the secret ending as well. Lastly, there are tons of Kirby 64 callbacks, which never really got much love since it's first release.
Peak 2.5D platforming, if you ask me.
Also, prepare yourself to complete the True Arena of this game. It can be quite difficult to not die in the final boss a couple of times (and in the very end too). Without spoilers, I will say to don't chant victory until the score screen pops up.

"triple deluxe vs. planet robobot" debaters really out here acting like two queens can't coexist. they're both fucking wonderful games that serve as eternal reminders of why I love kirby as much as I do
and I say that as someone who ˢˡᶦᵍʰᵗˡʸ prefers this one

This feels like the "Super Mario Bros Wonder" of the Kirby franchise. A surge of creativity in an otherwise somewhat stale and samey franchise. The level design is just so much more interesting than the other 2D Kirby games I've played, and playing as mech Kirby and getting a whole new range of copy abilities just never stops being fun. The final boss sequence feels more over the top than ever. Just a super fun game.
Wow Japan really liked their mechs, don’t they?
I think this is another example of a perfect 2D Kirby game. It stays true to the original formula while making the right changes to make it feel modern and fresh. The levels are fun, the mech gimmick is engaging while not feeling overdone, and the normal gameplay still feels just as nice as it could.

It's peak.
All the 3ds Kirby games are kino. I don't remember it as much as Triple Deluxe, but still it's a very solid title.
W game

I Iove the references to Kirby superstar has one the best storylines my favorite 3ds game of all time the mechanics one the best in the series.
Mostly standard Kirby fare but this time there's mechs. It's a blast.
The definitive 2D Kirby with the most interesting "gimmick" so far with fantastic new powerups and the best boss fights. ESPECIALLY the final boss, holy shit.
