A content-rich, incredibly enjoyable platformer. I've always viewed Kirby games as having beat-em-up elements with how powerful you are in comparison to everything else, and compared to the other Kirby games at the time that were still running off of the 1 button Kirby's Adventure formula for abilities, having the Super Star ability controls - and having them succeed in this game so well they would become the standard going forward - just feels great to play. Kirby games aren't known for difficulty, which is why the addition of Revenge of the King and more make up for it by being considerably more difficult extras that are fun to tear through. The sprites are incredibly clean in this game and have been used in sprite comics across the globe. The new content added in this remake feels so natural that when I was younger playing it, I didn't think anything odd of it appearing. The first appearances of the True Arena and Masked Dedede are as good as any of their reappearances, and the old content that was remade is as great as it was on the SNES. I'd call this game a perfect remake - all others should strive to be like this.
