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).

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.
I lost the cartilage
I love Kirby's little fun-sized mecha.
I wish there were more powers to select from while in the mecha.

fuck yeah
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.

I want Susie Haltmann to step on me
u cannot be sad while playing a kirby game
I've heard people call this the best Kirby game and man they're smoking Kracko.
Like it's good... but the BEST????? The titular robobot has like 3 moves across like 10 copy abilities.

It's incredible that Kirby in the 2010's was pretty repetetive, yet still managed to bring out quality titles all around (even though I think Star Allies was just okay and haven't played Triple Deluxe for myself yet). This one is my favorite not only of four, but also my favorite in the series, even though I don't really have much to say about it, either that I can't come up with much or it has already been said by others.
What I can say is that a pitfall I think most Kirby games fall into, even the good ones, is that the levels of one world tend to blend themselves together, but here, the industrial setting and mecha suit help every level stand out from one another. And the final boss of the True Arena may be my favorite boss battle in any game I've played.
This is also the Kirby game were we can start saying "What were the writers smoking?"

I'm not well versed in all the Kirby games but Id assume this is one of the best hands down. Super fun gameplay and puzzles, the robot gimmick is very fun and never gets tiring. Music is great and visuals are colorful. Hopefully the next Kirby game I play is just as entertaining
