As somebody who couldn't care less about competitive smash, this was the game I most had fun with in the franchise and would still rather play against most other games in the series. It doesn't take itself seriously and is genuinely a party fighting game that anyone could enjoy. Fun cast of characters second only to Ultimate and I remember fond memories playing this game at my friend's house where I'd play Meta Knight since he was my favorite Kirby character on the roster. How could I not mention Subspace either, one of the most fun singleplayer modes with an insane amount of references that anyone who is a Nintendo fan will absolutely adore.

As a game itself, it's great but man it's impossible to play with my friends because they are so insanely good at it and do all the weird meta techs that it feels impossible to play unless you tryhard. I like playing Game & Watch, and whenever I see Fox I feel like my goal is to just try and knock a stock off of him. If I were playing against people of my skill level I'd probably rate it 5 stars since the fighting aspect is insanely fun, but it's an unbalanced mess not meant for casual players at this point.
