This might weird you out, but this was my first Kirby game. It was funny when I later played Dream Land 2 and went "wow this guy does more than just pinball?!".

I actually love the shit out of this game, it's aged fairly gracefully and I ended up burning at least an hour booting this up again. I think my only moderately decent complaint is that it's a bit too easy to get kicked out of the boss stages sometimes, and a few of the minigames pop up too much like that soccer/football shootout game with the squid person (blanking out on their actual name). Otherwise it's hard not to have fun with this assuming you enjoy Kirby and/or pinball in any form.

I think this game was the reason I grew a liking towards Poppy Bros Jr. As a kid I always registered him as the most dastardly shithead ever. "Oh god! The elf guys are slowly marching towards those baby chickens, they're gonna kick the shit out of them! NO DON'T DO IT!"

BOOMF

"THOSE FIENDS."

What a bunch of heels, I love them.
