extremely fun kirby game! would highly recommend checking it out and the soundtrack for these games are great!

My DS nostalgia game. A refined 2D platforming experience that I enjoyed as a kid and love now. SSU is what video games should look and sound like to me. As glamorous as Great Cave’s Crystal Area and as foreign and euphoric as Milky Way Wishes’ Halfmoon. This game is ever so welcoming but rewards perseverance and practice like nothing similar I’ve experienced. The Arenas are difficult and I could not beat them by myself and although that makes me feel somewhat inept, the DS nostalgia in me is ecstatic to be able to give my DS to someone else and let them have a try too. SSU unites.

This game, along with the DS Lite it was bundled with, was pre-owned by the son of a family friend. I instantly fell in love with it, and played it to completion several times; this included beating Helper to Hero with every character, and speedrunning The Arena and The True Arena, with my final best times of 06:58:67 and 04:39:94, respectively. Kirby Super Star was already an excellent game, but the remake turned it into a masterpiece, and a must-play for any Kirby fan or DS owner. Should I return to this game, it will not be on the original hardware.


My first Kirby game, and what a meaty one to start with. Has a lot of variety while also still keeping that pure Kirby experience. You can't go wrong with this remake.
