Kirby Super Star is an exercise in chaotic unchecked creativity in an otherwise (until that point especially) pretty straightforward game series, and I love the game specifically for that facet of it. Especially after Super Star, Kirby has always been a series that does what it wants to an extent, but most games in the series have more specific aspects and concepts it sticks with and experiment with and expand on over the whole game. Super Star kind of throws that out the window and does whatever it wants, for as long as it wants to, and in whatever direction it wants to go, and I have a lot respect for its chaotic nature in that way.

Is it repetitive at times? Oh yes. Are some parts clearly weaker than others? Absolutely. Are some sections close to being annoying or downright bullshit? Definitely. But despite all that I still revisit it often and always enjoy my time with it immensely. Most of my favorite games are games I can connect to enough to look past the faults I've found with them over time and Super Star is no exception to that, and it what it obviously lacks in story and theme compared to some of my favorite things, it makes up for in just how genuinely fun and creative it always is for me no matter how much I play it.
