Kirby 64 is exactly what you could've wanted from a N64 Kirby game. The 64-bit graphics go so well with this universe that it creates some really cool designs in the bosses and levels. It can feel restricted at times as it creates these gigantic worlds yet you can only go in a straight line, but this game isn't going for a grand epic scope, so it isn't that big of a problem. The levels are very creative with the constant background changes and worlds you go to. It makes the game more interesting to play and keeps you in the game. It also keeps the charm that has been established in other Kirby games and it never gets old. I can always go for the charm the Kirby games have and this is one is no different from the others in that aspect. It keeps the things that were great about other classic Kirby games and ditches stuff that made me dislike some things in the games.

What really screamed "this is THE N64 Kirby game" were the copy abilities. They were so unique and something we haven't seen in a Kirby game before as you can combine abilities. I loved being able to combine fire and cutter to get a fire sword and get other awesome abilities. I hope you can do that in other Kirby games in the future since I really love that idea. The story itself is good enough as it's a platformer separated in the levels, so it doesn't have the most fleshed out story. That doesn't really matter though since we have a lot of fun in the levels though and a fun game you can easily binge. Kirby 64 is the breath of fresh air the Kirby franchise needed and one that I will remember from this franchise.
