easy contender for the best Kirby game and one of the best modern 3D platformers, everything here oozes quality and the transition from 2D to 3D was perfectly made.
the new movement and combat were great, the copy abilities are fewer in number compared to previous Kirby titles and they also have less movesets tied to them but they include just enough to make it work on the new 3D space, you can also upgrade those copy abilities to change their functionality a little bit. overall the combat has less going on compared to the previous game (Star Allies) but this is still an very competent 3D action game as a whole, the boss fights and combat arenas showcase that perfectly. the only thing that may be held it back for some players might be the difficutly, I pretty much blasted through the main levels without breaking a sweat, it definitely has some tricky spots especially if the side content is concerned though.
the presentation is pretty much flawless as usual, beautiful visuals and incredible soundtrack, one of the best if not the best on series's history.
the level-design in this is honestly impressive, every level is an blast, full of different ideas and creativity especially in regards to enviroments and the new Mouthful mechanic, I thought that this mechanic was just an simple gimmick that would get old the more you get through the game kinda like the Super Abilities from Return to Dream Land or the Hypernova from Triple Deluxe but I was very happy to be wrong, the ways they utilize the mechanic is fresh every time you use it, an incredible achievement in terms of game design.
overall an fantastic time, play this if you got the chance to do so, absolute must-play for platformer fans and Switch owners.
