Back in 2022, I played Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine. I knew it was Puyo Puyo with Sonic characters, but I wanted to give it a try since I was playing a lot of Sonic games around that time. Turns out I sucked at it! Only got to like stage 6 before I gave up, and even then I'm surprised I got that far lol.

Kirby's Avalanche is Puyo Puyo again, only Kirby themed. This time around I only got to stage 3 before I quit(if were not counting the starter stages which I did complete). Idk man, my brain just melts sometimes whenever I'm playing. I'm way more of a Tetris guy than a Puyo Puyo guy, but those early stages were somewhat fun I'd say.

Besides me liking Kirby more than Sonic, something I definitely thought put this over Mean Bean Machije was the dialogue before each stage. Goddamn, Kirby is savage in this one. Maybe feels a little out of character, especially for how he is nowadays but it was very entertaining. Had to look up all the scenes cuz I knew I didn't want to miss them. If anything, its worth it to see them alone cuz they're hilarious.

Considering how short this game is too, the length of the OST is super short as well but the couple stage themes being remixes of Kirby's Adventure songs was nice.

Yeah, as you can see, I don't have much to say about this one. It's Puyo Puyo but Kirby themed like I said and I got filtered by Puyo Puyo yet again 😢. Guess that series just isn't for me haha. Kinda stinks this is another Kirby game I ended up not beating but it will probably be the last (unless one of the future spinoffs filter me as well). Either way, next Kirby game is Dreamland 2 so I'm happy to finally get to another mainline again.

i was playing this with my brother and he was so shit at the game and he wouldn't let us stop playing it because he was so dedicated to beating me. got sick 20 mins in but we went for nearly 3 hours. about 2 hours in he glances at my side of the screen and shouted out "oh my god." in the most horrified voice i have ever heard come out of him and then paused the game and stared up at the ceiling. turns out, he saw me turn the blocks and he didnt realise he could actually twist the blocks. thank you kirby for both the ego boost from decimating him and the joy from his horror <3

Boys would literally rather play aggressive out-of-character Kirby instead of Puyo Puyo, or go to therapy too I guess

Puyo-Puyo? More like Poyo-Poyo! And Kirby's got some serious attitude!


More like Kirbo Kirbo or somethin idk

"Paint Roller, you are the meanest art student I've ever met."

kirby was so close to saying a slur

It's Super Puyo Puyo except with Kirby, and nothing more, sort of like what Sega Genesis owners got with Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. If you love Puyo Puyo, and have always wanted to see Kirby with an attitude, then this game is perfect for you. Unfortunately, I only downloaded this title from the Wii Virtual Console to say that I tried it; Puyo Puyo is not a game I've been able to grasp. On account of a massive skill issue, I will not be returning to this game.

it's just puyo 1 but with kirby characters
gotta love how vulgar kirby is in this game too

Not a big Poyo Poyo guy, but this was fine.

It's alright. I genuinely enjoy the ridiculous nature of Kirby talking to the Dreamland characters. Absolutely out of this world... I don't like how fast the puyo blocks drop on the later levels. It kinda feels too fast. Of course, I just planned it out a little and retried multiple times. Not a fan of this iteration of Puyo Puyo. No rewind used, but I did jump back to the start of the battle for quick retries.

Yes <3 Puyo Puyo but actually poyo poyo.

It’s just Puyo Puyo, except now with Kirby characters, which automatically makes the game a masterpiece as a result.

Port #3

They did it. They made it. Poyo Poyo. A bastard child, much like its brethren Doctor Robotik Lean Bean Machean, yes my dyslexic ass is smashing records tonight. But... That's it, it is Poyo Poyo and there is nothing more to its meat. I tought the Kirby series was allergic to low quality products, yet here we are. That's the part where Kirby smoked that hooka indubitably cuz you seein how much lip he's givin them?? That is not the poyo I raised. He's callin them cunts and everythin 😭 we finally got the American Kirby from all those US box arts. May God bless us all he is yappin kinda E for everyone.

So, pretty much everything I say about Super Puyo Puyo would apply to this (as of yet, have not said anything about Super Puyo Puyo). They're scared half to death of giving us cutesy stuff so they'd rather reskin it for overseas audience with Kirby... I'm probably not the only one having trouble with the logic. Putting so much ressources into a lost cause when the solution is RIGHT THERE. I do admit the... forest background... is better than some minerals? Hank would kill me for this. This cabrón called an avalanche on all of them or what, that sounds like an hardcore term for such a calming experience OH MY GOLLY I'M BEING BURIED ALIVE IN SLIME

The gang is all here. I don't always recognize their names through the Super Nintendo Entertainment System sound chip, and for us zoomers this is gonna sound a whole lot like the Wii Remote yapping in Smash Bros. Brawl. They should have replaced the colors while they were at it, where's the pink slime? Despite all its faults, this game still remains a cult abomination, a stain in Kirby's rapper career. What says a lot about me is that, much like not knowing I could crouch in RE4 to avoid attacks, I did not know I could see the next bundle of slime to fall. Rest in power brain 👑👑👊 wowie, I wish an actually unique Kirby game with Tetris-like elements happens to fall on my laps soon. Kid named Star Stacker:

the truth is I just suck at Puyo Puyo, literally can't get past stage 7 on normal lmao
but the game's worth playing just to see Kirby trash-talking the enemies

I'll breathe in your pathetic bombs and send them right back at you!

i suck at puyo puyo and was sad i didn't get so see more of Kirby and friends funny dialogue :(

Forget all those old AMV's, this is the true evil Kirby.

They made Kirby such an asshole in this lol
A bit on the brutal side when it comes to the fine tuning of the mechanics to my taste (no ghost outline, minimal piece slide, etc) but can't really go wrong with Puyo Puyo either

playing a lot of random shit today on my switch while my power is out and this has been the best so far!! basic clone of another game with kirby in it but i love kirby so that makes it great!!

Had no idea Kirby was such a fan of puyo puyo. Also had no idea he could be an absolute menace

Sorry I'm just bad at puyo pop lmao


whoever decided they couldn't wait a few months for puyo 2 to release so they could base this game off that instead, I just wanna talk

This game made me realize that I'm bad at Puyo Puyo with hard NPCs. Other than that it's just basic Puyo Puyo with Kirby talking which doesn't work at all, though I do find the announcer for each Puyo boss funny. I'll always remember the funny way he says, "SQUISHY!"

Another Kirby side game before we get to his first SNES platformer. This is literally Puyo Puyo with Kirby aesthetics. Nothing is really added that's special other than nice music. This also features goofy voice overs to the game that are an odd choice. I like Puyo Puyo but if I'm, going to play a basic version of the game I would go for Mean Bean Machine since that's what I played when I was younger. Its fun but doesn't really bring anything new to Puyo Puyo.

I admit I'm not any good at Puyo Puyo so I kind of bumrushed it, but nevertheless, it's always fun to pop this one in. I don't think I'll ever truly master this game, my brain is more wired for Tetris, but I'll always enjoy this one.

7/10
