I waited over two decades for Kirby to finally make the transition to 3D, something I've anticipated and expected to happen since Kirby 64, and the result is....a very standard Kirby game that feels very similar to the last few. The Super Mario 3D World of Kirby games and even that might be overselling it.

But still, it's a Kirby game, and that means it's quite fun! Just a fun, breezy lil game with a tighter emphasis on collectables than normal. The mouthfuls also introduce fun little gimmicks that do a lot to spruce up the gameplay. The game also just feels nice to play; HAL got the transition to 3D nailed down at least. The level design is mostly just fine.
