One thing about the Kirby franchise that has always been consistently amazing yet goes underappreciated is the presentation. Sometimes the series can get really experimental with the visuals and art style and Kirby Canvas Curse is one of the earliest examples of this. Everything about this game SCREAMS "abstract". From the background paintings, to the sound design, to the music, it's all super unique and really well done. Touch screen controls are never my go-to when it comes to videos games yeah but for what it is it ain't half bad here. Sure the level design has to be a bit basic to compensate but the copy abilities were added for some flair, so that's lovely. Never gonna 100% it though! Fuck that! 😄

As much as I'm looking forward to playing the sequel, there will most likely never be a Kirby game like Canvas Curse ever again and tbh I think that's pretty cool
