As a fan of the original game, I couldn't pass up playing this version.
Despite being a remake, this version is 100% faithful to the original game, but with more beautiful graphics and extra content, being "Merry Magoland", a place where you can play minigames and win prizes, such as masks and aids for use during levels. And "Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler", a new game mode that basically is the equivalent of Meta Knightmare from previous games.
In terms of Gameplay the game being the same, it continues extremely fun, and we still have the addition of 2 new skills, being "Sand" and "Mecha", both very fun to be used.
In addition, the True Arena returns in this game, just like in the original, but with a much higher difficulty that makes the original The True Arena look like the normal The Arena, since now both the bosses of Extra Mode and the Epilogue of the Magolor are fought in this mode, adding many more bosses to the mode. In addition, the final boss of The True Arena is still Magolor Soul, but the battle has been changed so that her difficulty is much higher, basically a kind of "Magolor Soul EX", yet the original battle still remains. found in the game, as the final boss of Extra Mode.
I only have 2 criticisms with this game, one is that to play 100% of the game you need to complete both Normal and Extra modes, which means you will play the game 2 times and it can be quite repetitive. The other is that the game forces you to collect all the "Merry Magoland" prizes to reach 100%, and that in my opinion is absurd, since there are some challenges that can be very difficult for many people, for example I don't I'm able to beat "Samurai Kirby's" hard mode, simply because I don't have that fast reflexes and because of that I can't do 100% in the game.
Overall this is the definitive version of the game, and it's a great starting point for newcomers to the series.
