"Abandoned" is a bit harsh, as I liked a lot of the Main Games included. However, my main objective was to 100% this collection, and I ended up only getting to 98% and giving up. I do just wish more of this was a whole one focused game rather than feel so disjointed, cause it makes it harder to feel about as one whole. So I've decided to try and comment on every Main Game as best as I could.
Spring Breeze: Essentially a remake of Kirby's Dream Land, with copy abilities of course. It's straight to the point, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Dyna Blade: More of Spring Breeze styled gameplay. Still fun!
The Great Cave Offensive: A more adventure-styled experience focused on collecting treasures and using abilities to find more treasures. Lacks a map and a few of the treasures I had to turn towards a guide, but I enjoyed it a lot. Kind of a bother that you do not save your copy ability or Helper when you load a file again.
Gourmet Race: 3 short races against Dedede. It exists I guess.
Revenge of Meta Knight: More Spring Breeze styled levels with a focus on a time limit. It's fine but I wouldn't go back to these.
Milk Way Wishes: My favorite Main Game. Instead of gaining abilities from enemies, you find them through worlds and have access to them at all times. My favorite approach to all these abilities and using them to find more. Last ability was kind of weird to come across but still, very very cool and I hope it comes back.
Revenge of The King: Meh. Spring Breeze Encore Mode. I hate every single boss.
Meta Knightmare Ultra: Permanent Sword ability, with a few more niche moves but mixed with a point system for buffs. Meta Knight goes through areas from the previous games for reasons beyond me. It's cool but I think could be a lot more.
The Arena: A Boss Rush mode with limited resources, randomized order and abilities to choose from. Could be worse.
Helper to Hero: A shorter arena but you're limited to essentially only one copy ability. Bonkers/Hammer is stupid strong.
The TRUE Arena: The Arena but worse. This is where my remaining 2% is. Limited to only all the new bosses introduced in Ultra, which are all the bosses I do not want to deal with, paired with no maximum tomatoes and an even smaller pool of copy abilities (with one always being Sleep). Noooo thank you.
