Yep, the Skeleton did indeed appear
I certainly was not expecting this, but I did not like Kirby Mass Attack very much. Now let's not get ahead of ourselves here, this game doesn't belong in the pits of HELL. Like every Kirby game, it has redeeming qualities up the ass. Good music, good bosses, surprisingly good side content, blah blah blah this is standard stuff for the series. My reasoning for rating this one so low is a very simple (and possibly even kind of boring) reason: I just don't find it fun. Canvas Curse and Rainbow Curse I feel executed the idea of a touchscreen controlled Kirby game in the best possible way they could without feeling too intrusive or overbearing. Mass Attack, contrary to most other Kirby games I've played, feels exhausting to play and I physically couldn't play more than a few levels at a time. Out of every Kirby game this one took me the most amount of sessions to complete, mainly because I was just dreading playing it. The main gimmick got old after a while and I was really ready for the game to be over by the 2nd world. I feel like this is definitely more of a "me" thing though, Kirby Mass Attack is just not my thing and that's okay!

The game was fine enough to keep me engaged. I like how some Kirby games like this are experimental in the formula. The touch controls got old pretty fast, so it got kind of annoying to go through levels sometimes.
I didn’t like that the last world was locked and you needed all of the rainbow medals to get to it. It felt like the game was forcing unneeded padding to make you play longer.

Average Kirby game be like:
One day our lovable cream puff hero Kirby and his friends frolicked along their dream world Popstar, laughing and eating strawberry shortcake all the while. All of a sudden, thunder cracked in the sky and who appeared before them but Dark Galgoreus, the evil Laughing God of the Nothing Realm. Here I will build my outpost, growled the wicked ram-horned being, where I and my kin will rend the flesh of all dreams with our teeth, where up will be down and color will be black and white, until even this stretch of the universe will be a dark haven for the terrible might of my VoidEther power.
Who else can stop the awful might of the Dark God of the Nothing itself but the greatest defender of Popstar, Kirby the dream puff, with his friends bandana Waddle Dee, who has a spear, King DeDeDe, who has a big hammer, Meta Knight, who hopefully will feel like helping them this time, and uh, I think someone who can paint really good or something?

I dunno how it would hold up today but man I really liked this game as a kid. In my head this is a mainline Kirby game haha. There's a mini-game called Kirby Quest I think and I thought that was super cool as a kid. It had like Dark Matter in it and shit. Real cool. Fun game I forget if I ever beat it lol.
