A Kirby game, while being a visual treat with a lovely soundtrack, comes off as a regressive entry to a franchise that was progressing (Super Star was already out).

Putting that aside though, as a sequel to Dreamland 2 it doesn't really do much to improve the prior game's issues it instead amplifies them by making the heart star collectibles really cryptic and the ability combos (now spread across 6 animal friends) being more situational or useless.

I still had a cozy time playing the game, I just wish it done more as a sequel to iron out the flaws from Dreamland 2.
