Well, it passes the time... I've always considered most Kirby games to be bland and safe titles that do little to impress more seasoned gamers. And this is coming from a Kirby fan! The peaks of the series in my opinion are Kirby Super Star, Planet Robobot, and possibly Crystal Shards for the way it dramatizes the typical old school true ending structure.

For my favorite addition to this remake of Kirby's Adventure, they got rid of the annoying Star Rod piece collections. I hate having to follow a guide to collect all the crap the old school Kirby games (excluding Super Star) needed in order to allow players to see the true ending. That stuff is absolutely garbage design in my opinion. It makes it into a guide game because I don't have the desire to scour the entirety of the game to get stupidly placed collectibles to face the final boss and get true closure on a story. (I'm also not a fan of when Sonic games do that too)

So thankfully, they streamlined it to fit my desired lazy gamer experience. Besides that, it's like they had all the badass additions from Super Star, but decided not to use most of them. What gives? I understand the value in simplicity, especially when making games for babies, but the Super Star system had the best of both worlds. It can be simple for kids, but more nuanced and enjoyable for us senior citizen gamers too. So yeah, at the end of the day, it's a game that passes the time, but I'd recommend it only for you Kirbyheads out there. Oh yeah, and of course the best content is the final boss. Of course it is...
