Only Kirby game where you don't play as Kirby!

Short but solid. Mastery takes a while to figure out since you're hitting the off-beats as well as the beats, which is pretty unique in my admittedly limited experience with rhythm games. But there's a good cadence to it once you get into it. Mastery is essentially learning the route and pattern to follow, then executing it; it takes a bit to get there, and it's really disheartening to feel yourself lose the beat and watch it all fall apart. But it's supposed to be like that, and it feels good when you pull off a good run.

It's sort of cute that base Drum Dash in Triple Deluxe uses songs from throughout the series, and then Drum Dash Deluxe is half remixes of Triple Deluxe tracks.
