Lovely remake/remaster of the game that kickstarted Kirby's resurgence of 2D platforming
The bulk of the game is largely Kirby's Adventure Wii (thank you Nintendo for trying to confuse the European market by giving us the US name this time lmao) with new mech and sand power ups to play with as well as decorative masks that can be earned from playing the new minigames.
Kirby's Adventure Wii was a classic and this doesn't do anything to detract from that original experience so it's a fantastic experience for those who haven't played it.
The main new attraction is the Malagor epilogue that unlocks when you beat the story mode. Here you play as Malagor trying to recover his abilities. It's a fun new mode as you start of with limited abilities and gain more as you progress. You can also upgrade these abilities to make Malagor much stronger by spending magic points which are gained through collecting items in the stages and performing combos on enemies and blocks to rack up even more magic points.
It's a fun way to wrap up the adventure and give fans who played the original a reason to pick this one up.
My only real complaint is the lack of online multiplayer for the story mode. After Super Mario 3D World and Mario Party Superstars included online multiplayer, I was hoping it would become a standard for Nintendo games like this. Unfortunately it's not the case which is a shame.
This is a great update to an already fantastic Kirby experience
