Kirbo is a silly fella. In all honesty I feel as a franchise is able to outshine even Super Mario in terms of quality of the series as a whole.
And Super Stars one of the many reasons for that.
It amazing how one of the first titles in the series, a game from 1996 is able to provide such a unique experience that stands out even to this day.

The formula of the series is already incredibly solid, both incluiding not just the immensely deep copy abilities, but the chance to trasform them into playable charcacters for co-op immensely raises the quality of the already perfect gameplay.

Not only that, but the different modes offer so much variety, outstanding even for the time. Spring breeze is a chilling homage to the first game in the franchise, Dyna Blade is a solid harder mode, Gourmet Race is a great racing experience, Great cave offensive turns the game into a literal metroidvania, and Revenge of Meta Knight is one of the best things I have ever played in a 2D platformer...... oh and Milky way wishes features Marx. Marx is the freaking best. I love that guy.

The extra modes included in the DS reamke can make you feel like something is missing in the SNES release... but other than that Kirby SUper Star is a game that will be able to appeal to any fan of videogames. A must play for everyone.
