Kirby is a classic character and this is his first game in color on the NES. There is no such thing as a "bad" Kirby game but this one does have a slight flaw: the way Kirby flies. In most Kirby games you tap the jump button to fly but in this game, you have to press up on the D-pad; this difference led to several deaths and made the game much more difficult than it needed to be for someone used to the usual controls. Still, this is a good game and a classic in gaming history.
