A revisit of a game widely regarded as “the best one” in its respective franchise is usually a risky move, but it’s one that paid off for HAL in the long run. Every addition to this game feels like something that could or even should have been in the original; and while I’ll still pop in the original SNES release or play it on the Switch Online service, Ultra is my go-to and the one I recommend to new players.
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.
