You know, i used to not like this game so much before...let me explain

The two problem i had with this game (the first issue still being relevant, and the second one being half accurate) were that i thought the game was way too short, with subgame that lasted at most 45 minute and at worst litteral minute, and secondly that the game didnt have a lot of substance or meat or replay value

But now that i replayed this game, despite the fact that its still my least favorite kirby game (to be fair, i only played adventure, the banger that is 64, and this one), its now a game that i found really fun

Firstly lets talk about the game itself, starting with the presentation : even tho it isnt as great looking as Kirby adventure 3, its still looks very nice, with great animations and detailled sprite, and really colorful visual... oh and of course the music slap...GOURMET RACE DAMN IT

secondly, how kirby plays...well, at first, kirby seems to play identically thats in its adventure's counterpart...you know, the running jumping and floating mechanic...just everything is smoother, but also the copy ability...wait... nevermind...THE COPY ABILITY HAD A COMPLETE REWORK

starting with the fact that now, you can get rid of your ability without damaging yourself, thx god
Secondly now, every copy ability has advanced and really cool moveset, that make them all a blast to use (i love ninja and mirror personally)
And thirdly, you can turn your ability into a partner now...wait...the partner mechanic didnt start in star allies? Damn, its almost like they promoted the hell out of this mechanic in the switch game to hide the fact that the level design was terrible, but ANYWAY
The partner mechanic even allow you to add a second player, resulting into a fun but saddly flawn multiplayer (due to the fact that if no partner is présent, the second player cannot play at all)

So yes, this game is already really solid, and i havent talked about the subgame yet, so lets get started

At first, we have spring breese, that is basically a sort of remake of kirby dreamland, but with, obviously, copy ability added, and, its fairly short but enjoyable Time
We then have dyna blade, a more challenging and interesting game that springe breese, but still kinda basic, that introduce the character of, well, dyna blade
Then, we have revenge of meta knight, a really good subgame, with some really good leveldesign, good setting, and even a cute story inside it
We got the great cave of offensive...ITS A METROIDVANIA...no seriously, its just a giant level with tone of tresor to collect, and with a really good level design, and somehow it work
Gourmet race, meanwhile, is a really short game, revolving around the concept of racing dedede...and the music slap
Megaton punch, the arena, and samourail kirby serve as short, but sweet minigame, being respectfully a competition to know who has the most powerful punch, while having mechanic similar to...golf from the nes somehow; then we have a boss rush, and finally the same minigame that you can found in kirby's adventure
Oh, and we have milky way wishes...featuring Marx...a game where kkrby cant swallow enemy...and where marx is here...

You know, as im writting this, i think i prefer this one as adventure...its not as great than 64, or not as a technicall showcase than adventure, but its still a wonderful Time...give it a try, and dont give up on it like i did before

Shame on me
