They seriously went from Triple Deluxe to this in two years! Planet Robobot takes everything about Triple Deluxe and makes it ten times better. The foreground/background feature change is done better and more creatively in this game and the platforming is so fresh and original. The worlds are so imaginative and immersive that I was able to binge so many at once. There is so much detail in them and so much to do in each level. The code cubes are my favorite collectible in the series so far and I loved finding them. The robot idea was so cool and they executed it really well. It's so creative and I loved discovering what the robot would change into with the different abilities. This game gives you jet Kirby, car Kirby, cutter mech Kirby, and more all in one game and it's just so good! The three final bosses were all incredible and some of my favorite bosses in the series. What this game did the best of any other Kirby game though was the storytelling. It was able to tell a compelling story and give characters actual arcs through the platforming. It has so many redeeming qualities in the finale because of the intense final boss and the story finally coming together. Planet Robobot is the best Kirby game I've played so far and it just makes me even more excited to play Forgotten Land. There is nothing quite like this game and it is easily now in my top five of all time!
