don't like reviewing titles till I've actually completed them and bad at using this site's playing or shelved features so if I give up on a game you'll never know about it

my first kirby game! was told it's a good place to start and man I just don't really get the appeal beyond really cute sprite work. obviously intended as a more casual experience for a younger demographic but this is literally just far, far too easy and not an especially rewarding experience, even as a de-stressor. any half decent power (sword or laser) and you can clear a way through just about anybody, if you're even bothering to fight them because it's just as easy to just... float past. it's nice! I did enjoy it, just not a bunch
somehow slipped my mind to log this one -- think it would be an easy slip for the best entry in the season one canon, and probably still is, for its excellent use of high and low stakes. it juggles and achieves a whole lot, the issue is it's just slightly too long; or paced a little too badly. all of the events are good, but there's maybe one too many. even then, what do you cut? it's maybe more symptomatic of the telltale formula, or the gameplay limitations. not quite as emotional as the first episode but I'm pretty sure this is the peak.
with the Wii as my favourite Mario Kart I guess; nostalgia may factor in but I don't really care there's a real charm to this that I think 8 is lacking for whatever reason. great list of tracks too, don't think there's any I roll my eyes at. has some favourites such as Delfino Square, Bowser Castle, the BEST Rainbow Road, and Choco Mountain. loved the balloon battles as a kid and the emblem creation is a fun touch too.
