Super Star Ultra is what many people consider to be the best Kirby game, and while this is only the second Kirby game I've played, I can see why. The levels are great and contain lots of secrets to find, making exploring each part of a level extremely rewarding. I also loved how instead of having one big adventure, there's just many smaller modes. Each of these have their own levels and unique gimmicks that add lots of gameplay variety, which helped keep me interested.

However, my biggest issue with this game is the bosses. The boss fights themselves are fine, but they are repeated so often throughout the different modes that they became rather tiring to fight. This is especially true for the arenas, which are just a boss rush modes. These are extremely tedious, resulting in me giving up on completing the true arena. I wanted to complete it due to there being new boss fights at the end, but I couldn't get myself to go through the slog of successfully defeating the bosses I have already fought a plethora of times before.

While I had problems with the repeated bosses, the main levels were great and fun to go through, so I still had an enjoyable time with the game.
