A noticeable upgrade to the already great SNES game, it contains lots of new content and quality of changes, not to mention the gorgeous redone sprite artwork. The cutscenes all being 3D animated is a nice addition, although DS graphics do leave a lot to be desired.

Superstar Ultra is basically the paragon for what makes a great Kirby game, it has all the strengths of the original; a great roster of abilities, colorful and creative level design, fun and varied gameplay between the several different sub-games. This remake also introduces some brand new modes, Revenge of the King and True Arena offer a more significant challenge, and Meta Knightmare Returns allows you to speed run through the main game while playing as Meta Knight.

Always fun to come back to, and if you're interested in the Kirby series but unsure of where to start, this is the game for you.
