one of maybe three titles I liked for the Nintendo 64.

it's not a particularly bombastic 3D entry like a lot of other N64 games but considering how often I would struggle with the cameras on N64 games I am more than happy with Kirby 64 being a 2.5D platformer with some funky camera stuff going on

the copy ability combo idea is a very cool way on expanding what Kirby's Dream Land 2 and 3 did regarding the Animal Friends and copy abilities, and while one can argue that moves nowadays have just as many interesting effects when it comes to button inputs, it doesn't really feel the same. idk

outside of some annoying missions (the Bomb + Stone copy ability combo immediately comes to mind when it comes to this) it's a genuine delight of a game and I recommend every Kirby fan play it at least once
