Technically "better" than Dream Land but that one's more impressive since it's the first one in the series, and this one has to follow Adventure which is a tall order that it can't live up to. Lots of good tunes and it's really pushing the hardware visually which I can respect but the level design is meh and the animal buddies aren't central enough to make up for the small number of copy abilities. I usually 100% Kirby games because they make it worthwhile but Rainbow Drops are way too annoying for me to bother with. It's still Kirby so it's still solid enough but easily the weakest one I've played so far.
