this is just a game about how kirby is better than everyone.

king dedede fuckin dies, like he's in the stars in the end credits he died dude.

MEU FAVORITO

Eu não sei por que não continuaram com essa mesma fórmula até hoje. O jogo é rápido, divertido, e a trilha sonora desse jogo é simplesmente a melhor de todos os Kirby que já joguei. A campanha do Meta Knight é quase como se fosse um modo extra do jogo, só que ela consegue ser muito melhor que o modo extra dos outros jogos de Kirby. Além de mudar as fases, ela te dá um ponto de vista de como se fosse o Meta Knight no lugar. Inclusive, ele pedir para lutar com o guerreiro mais forte da galáxia, em vez de se tornar o mais forte, é absurdamente estiloso.

Cada campanha dura cerca de 1 hora, e cada uma tem sua própria personalidade. A única que eu achei meio chata é a de encontrar tesouros. De resto, todas são muito divertidas. Morte ao comunista Marx.

theres just a ton of stuff here and when i say a ton i mean a TON

i cant say anything worth of note in this review because this game is pretty literally made of pure and unfiltered fun and nobody could argue with that

what im gonna say though is i fucking love the different modes some more than the others due to the fact that Revenge of Meta Knight and Meta Knightmare Ultra (and before you ask: yes i do love my little cool edgy big sword goth bf ❤❤❤❤❤) and also Milky Way Wishes shine brighter i dont know if this is a popular opinion but it is a popular opinion among my neurons

i also like the streamlined classic modes and Spelunky™ and the arena and the pew pew kirby with a fucking gun but you just cant beat going around the galaxy to obtain new abilities and whack marx (a character that unfortunately bears a curse called me who can't help but think of the socialist revolutionary when I hear his name) thats just too orgasmic in comparison

thats it i have no more contribution for this game so i will just write down the dialogue that meta knight has with the god forsaken cat intergalactic entity

"my one wish is to become stronger...
so i wish to fight... the greatest warrior in the galaxy"

You gained 169 EXP! (Not that it matters.)
Your Coolness went up by 4 !

side note: i saw kirby steal some kisses from his partners even though they were at full health . i know what you are


É basicamente uma versão bem melhorada do Kirby Super Star, que é o jogo mais elogiado da franquia (e tem motivos), só que dessa vez o jogo é: maior, melhor, com opção de escolha entre cutscenes pré-renderizadas em 3D e as cutscenes originais em 2D do SNES, também tem mais minigames ( tenho certeza que nenhum minigame do jogo original foi retirado ou prejudicado porquê eu tenho muitas horas de gameplay nesse jogo, e se tivessem removido algum minigame eu teria percebido) e tem mais modos de jogo (via True Arena) e com sprites refeitos (melhor design 2D do Kirby ever) + Galacta Knight; resumindo: esse é o jogo de Kirby perfeito na sua melhor forma e também mais pura delas, não tem erro. Seria quase perfeito se os levels desse jogo não fossem tão pequenos, e sim, o jogo é extremamente fácil, a maior dificuldade está na True Arena, que mesmo assim é bem fácil, e isso só piora a situação pra um jogo curto como esse, mas continua sendo o Kirby mais divertido de todos pra mim.

"queer love that should get more attention is queer friend love. It has kept me alive, fed me, gave me a safe home, loved me at my best and worst, and nurtured me. they modeled healthy family dynamics in a way that made me feel safe & excited about life again."
~ tweet i saw the day i started this because it was pride month but also its basically just this

Ok vamos lá,
Deixa eu botar um respeito nesse jogo ele é extremamente único e é difícil ver algo remotamente parecido, esse estilo de minijogos com detalhes e estilos meio únicos é extremamente legal mais sendo sincera meio mal executado digo isso mais pq no começo o jogo é extremamente fácil e chega a ser tedioso
Mais da metade pra frente ele sobe de uma maneira incrível enfim,
É um jogo único (isso não faz ele perfeito)
Outras coisas é que ele é colorido bonitinho e tem um puta charme.
Enfim obrigada por ler a review dessa garota que escreve reviews talvez longas dms pra jogos que não mereçam

They Basically improved what was Already Perfect.
10/10

I think this is Kirby's peak. Just an excellent time from start to finish. Helper to Hero is a joy.

this is the first game i ever played as a baby. every time i hear the file select theme i cant help but tear up a little... no matter how many years go by this game will always have a special place in my heart <3

modern sisyphus is watching nintendo try to recreate the magic of this game. and they always fail, every single time.

if this game was food i would gobble it up in one bite and then tears would run down my face because of how scrumptious it was. thanks

One of the better, if not the best Kirby game, with a wide variety of content, a great selection of copy abilities to play around with, and one of the more challenging Kirby boss rushes

all remasters/ports/whatever you want to call them should aspire to be like this

"And it's cold."
"And it's high."
"And it's scary."
"...All right, you lot."

When the anime protagonist is badass very badass extremely overpower who has the personality of being badass ultra badass who is better and more badass than everyone else because he exists with the sole purpose of being badass (he really is badass)

Kirby as a concept won me over the second I learned about this impossibly adorable puffball's signature abilities. However, what few Kirby games I tried or watched didn't click with me, I would find them rather insipid when compared to similar games. That was until I gave this one a go. Its potpourri of modes are fun, varied and don't overstay their welcome, and it has sheen up the wazoo. Also, Meta Knightmare Ultra is sick as fuck.

Most video game remakes don't impress me. As an example, I don't care for the "remasters" that have inundated the industry in recent memory, with all their artistic shallowness. I'd rather play something new than the same game repackaged. Kirby Super Star Ultra is no different, yet it is praised by people constantly as "one of the best remakes ever." Why?

It seems to be a trend for these Kirby remakes to ditch the unique graphical styles of their previous entries, if the last one was anything to go by. The sprites in Super Star Ultra are much more homogenized than their original counterparts, which had a very distinct style and color palette. It was a lot more muted and the brighter colors really popped as a result of it. Each sprite was more cartoonish and expressive, too. Compare Kirby's damaged sprite from this game to the original and you'll see what I mean. Not to mention that the screen size was larger so things would get in your way less frequently.

In addition to this, it adds a bunch of nonsense filler content. Sure, Masked Dedede is, indeed, a great boss fight. So is Galacta Knight. But people seem to forget the buildup to these fights: rehashes of other modes. Meta Knightmare Ultra, as cool of a concept as it is, is one of the laziest game modes I've ever experienced: just replaying the entire game but as Meta Knight. They could have done so much more with the idea of Meta Knight's journey to become the strongest and they just didn't. Masked Dedede comes after a slightly more inspired mode - a retread of Spring Breeze but more difficult, which is a reference to the original Kirby's Dream Land's extra mode as Spring Breeze adapted the original's normal mode - but even then, it still just feels the same. Helper to Hero is just The Arena again but you play as a helper. The True Arena is mainly just fighting harder versions of bosses from the original game.

Kirby Super Star Ultra isn't a terrible game. At its core, it's still Kirby Super Star: a wonderful anthology experience. I can't help but feel like it heralded in a bad era for Kirby, though: the intense reuse of assets in the name of content. The persistence of The Arena, Meta Knightmare Returns in Planet Robobot and its Dedede themed counterpart in Kirby Triple Deluxe, and everything about Star Allies' structure where the bulk of the content is replaying the same story levels with a different main character in Guest Star ???? all starts with this game. Sure, The Arena was in the original Kirby Super Star as well, but it wasn't a staple until this one. I yearn for the days where Kirby was a much more experimental series, especially with its side modes. The fact that this game covers up the husk of the original Super Star somewhat serves to remind me of that: each of the modes in that game, barring The Arena my beloathed of course, were inventive in their own way. Now it's just content for the sake of content.

I fail to understand how this can be one of the best remakes ever when it's already a lesser version of the original, and what it changes isn't even particularly unique for a remake. It's pointless bloat.

Truth be told I’ve never been as big a fan of the Superstar formula as I wanted to be—the anthology structure is certainly unique, but I’ve always felt it left the experience as a whole feeling a tad disjointed. Each minigame is fun on its own, but most just don’t get the space or time to feel as fleshed out as I’d like them to be. That being said, I still enjoyed Superstar, and the same can more or less be said for this remake.

Superstar Ultra is a pretty straightforward translation of the SNES original: it’s got all the games you remember, and they play more or less how you remember them. Spring Breeze and Dyna Blade offer truncated (if basic) classic Kirby adventures. The Great Cave Offensive is a bit more inspired: a more robust, exploratory journey that’s always been a personal favorite for my collection-obsessed lizard brain. Return of Meta Knight is probably the best-realized game of the original roster, a fast, high-octane action movie parody full of frenetic combat and charming dialogue. Gourmet Race and the microgames all provide brief, almost Warioware-esque reprieves. And then to cap it all off you get Milky Way Wishes, which I think is actually kind of a confusing mess but the Marx fight is really cool so yeah sure whatever!

Any changes Ultra makes to that core lineup are minimal, mostly in the form of small but welcome optimizations. A more zoomed out screen, a better English translation, some more informative UI elements (a huge help in TGCO actually). The presentation has also been updated, although that’s something I’m more mixed on. I quite like the GBA/DS Kirby aesthetic, but it is a real shame to see one of the more distinct and vibrant Kirby games reimagined in this “house style”. The sprites looks great in their own right, but I do find myself missing the off-model charm of the original, particularly in the backgrounds and these crunchy 3D-rendered cutscenes.

Probably the change I’m most fond of is the fact that hey, we’re on the DS now! I always struggled with Superstar’s 8-in-one structure but it really does make so much more sense on a handheld, especially one as geared towards short, on-the-go play sessions as the original DS. It’s a great game to play in between other tasks when you got like 15-30 minutes to kill, something that was a lot harder to do when the game was straddled to a home console you had to hook up to a CRT (or in my case, a Wii to a monitor).

As far as the new modes go, they’re nice, harmless additions but ones I’m not terribly impressed by. I have no interest in boss rushes so I didn’t bother with any of the three arenas and I felt myself going through the motions with Metaknightmare. Revenge of the King was a genuine treat though, a great synthesis of everything that worked in the main games, all capped off by an instantly iconic boss fight. Probably my favorite experience on the cartridge. The new touchscreen microgames are nice as well, it’s something they basically had to do considering the game and the hardware but they got a lot more going on than I expected.

All in all, Superstar Ultra is a pretty appealing package. Is it better than Superstar? I dunno, probably? Not by a lot but I suppose it’s a bit more finely-tuned where it counts. It’s still not my favorite in the series, but I can’t ever have a truly bad time playing Kirby. A real nice one

Many journeys with the bros

Why does everyone like this pink trollface dude he sucks.

I wish I felt what everyone else feels in regards to this adorable pink marshmallow's game series. But after my 4th attempt playing it, I realize what I feel

is nothing.

Kirby at it's best.

The "compilation of multiple games" structure works nicely as an excuse for the developers to try out different ideas and objectives that become the center of each scenario presented in each main mode. While Spring Breeze is your typical Kirby fare, Revenge of Meta Knight takes that level design and ups the ante with a timer on each section. Stuff like this keeps the game consistently fresh and different with each main mode you unlock; Nothing is quite the same as the one before, and I think that's Super Star Ultra's greatest strength.

This is a truly perfect remake in the same vein as something like Metroid: Zero Mission, where everything from the original is intact, but enhanced with some quality of life, and entirely new modes that make it feel like a completely new experience. It outshines the original in absolutely every way, and stands on it's own as potentially the best game in the series. If you've never played a Kirby game before, this one's got everything you could love from the series.

The ultimate Kirby experience. Everything from the original Super Star has been polished, and the new sub-games and features are a delight. Fans of the series cannot miss this.


Depending on what day you ask me I may say this is better than the original. Adds an insane amount of content, some of which is the hardest stuff that's ever been in a Kirby game. Definitely was a must-buy for this console, and further establishes Super Star's status as the peak of Kirby.

THE quintessential Kirby game, by far. It has everything and more that perfectly captures the essence of the franchise. A fantastic game and a great remake I'll be playing 'til I die.

Pretty fun game, each sub game kept things fresh.
