I had high hopes for this game when it was announced as I'd previously always thought Kirby would be a great series for a 3D platformer. I have very minimal experience with Kirby games, and from the little I've played I haven't been all that impressed. This game, however, far exceeded my expectations.

The good:
+ Mechanics and puzzles
+ Exploration and secrets
+ Great boss battles (esp. in post-game)
+ Visual presentation and setting
+ Music
+ Absolutely full of charm and bonus polish

The bad:
- Nothing really, honestly

I had to think hard to come up with any nitpicks with this game, and all I really decided is that after a while some of the mini-bosses became a little annoying to see over and over. Beyond this, I think everything was solid. It's been a long time since I was so motivated to 100% a game, and it was a joy to do so all the way through to the end.
