I hadn't played the original until I got a proper SNES years later, but I had heard great things about Super Star, so upon this game's announcement, I had to get it. Hoooo boy, I LOVE this game. It just plays so darn good as a Kirby game should, and there's tooooons of Kirby content packed into digestible mini stories that don't force you to rush playing the game all at once and get burned out. This is the best Kirby game around, hands down.
