The first Kirby game I finished and for the NES it is an impressive game. For the different enemies, power ups and the various scenarios throughout the game, it can't be denied that this was amazing for the console. But if this was made for the SNES it would probably be way better.

My complaints here are about the controls. The game in general isn't optimized so when there's too much stuff on the screen it will also have frame drops. These frame drops paired with the controls that can't process fast inputs make the game feel janky and I died a lot on the pits due to that.

As a platformer I'm not a big fan of the design. Kirby's ability to fly can be used to cheese a lot of levels here so there isn't a sense of challenge. The screen is also small so it felt claustrophobic as if there wasn't enough space to jump and fight the enemies properly.

Aside from that the game is cool. I liked the boss fights, the music, the art style and I also find interesting how the variety of power ups could provide one of the best replay abilities in a game I've played. Unfortunately I'm not hyped to go for 100%, maybe I'll be with the next titles but not for this one.
