Very charming as per usual for Kirby, and reasonably fun, however the map for this game is a mess. This is a metroidvania full of one-way-halls, points-of-no-return and dead ends, you spend half your time desperately trying to luck into finding maps since forming a mental map of this world is near-impossible, and the other half re-treading your foot-steps over and over, scouring the several unintuitively-connected area maps to figure out what you missed, and lugging power-ups across rooms to try and open gates hoping that it leads to new paths and not just to more health pick-ups.

There's a bunch to like here, but everything to do with the world-map is just so messy and frustrating to engage with that this game ends up feeling quite a bit less inviting than the more conventional Kirby games.
