Very bland entry to the Kirby series. At the point in time when this was announced, I've already played every Kirby game up to this point. Once I got this game though, yeah. The whole mixing mechanic was interesting. You got every copy ability from Amazing Mirror present plus some new ones. But that's about it. I don't know, something about this Kirby game didn't sit well with me. Maybe its the extremely dull storyline compared to the previous game (having to save Meta Knight by finding shards of a magic mirror while exploring a world that wasn't Dreamland vs someone stole Kirby's cake go kick King Dedede's ass). The only positive I can think of for this game is it made King Dedede's castle design from the anime canon. that's about it. Otherwise I feel the same way I did with Megaman 4 with this game. Same old formula, stale gameplay. And exclusive to this game, a stupid story that's become the basis of every Kirby fan born after 2000.

If you liked this game, good for you. Me it made me question if I was getting too old for Kirby games at that point in time. And I was a teenager who played every Kirby game before this one. Thankfully it wasn't true when Superstar Ultra and Return to Dreamland was released. Then it turned out that this game was just bland and is the Kirby equivalent of Megaman 4.
