Considering this was a Nes game, and Kirby's first game with copy abilities, I was expecting there to be only a few basic ones, so I was pleasantly surprised to see such cool ideas like tornado, ufo and wheel already here.
Bosses are really fun, and the soundtrack is great.

Unfortunately the game has performance issues. Some of the worst slowdown I've ever seen that affects pretty much every level. And there's an annoying delay after pretty much every button press, sometimes it's small, but for actions likes sucking, or exhaling air while flying, it feels like you lose control of Kirby for way too long, often leading to unavoidable hits or falling into pits.

It doesn't matter how good of an idea the game is, if it runs like shit, it's not fun to play. Luckily there's other ways to play this game, including a remake on GBA.
