A wonderful little romp through some colorful Kirby worlds, with creative level design which avoids repetition often found in 2D platformers. The basic movement is gratifying, and the copy abilities enhance this, even if many are a little bit one-note. The bosses are also well-balanced and decently fleshed out for an NES game.

It's a relaxing game, which I often find myself coming back to for a half-hour here and a half-hour there. It's easy, but that's actually a boon; sometimes, all one wants is a bit of casual button mashing, and this game fills that niche perfectly.
