Games don't have to be hard in order to be enjoyable or memorable; if anything, at my age, I really appreciate when I can just relax and have a simple, short, yet compelling adventure such as this one.
Controls are tight and responsive; power-ups are downgraded compared to Super Star in terms of versatility, but to compensate for this, each and every one has different variations depending on which companion you choose. The addition of puzzles was also a welcomed new feature, and some of them were actually quite clever despite the game obviously aiming for a younger audience. The graphics are beautiful; they look like they were drawn with a crayon, giving its visuals a very unique style that no other Kirby game has. As for level design, I don't think they were as "flat" as some people say; they are very simple and straight-forward, but there are tons of secrets to be found, and the games offer a nice variety, especially if you aim for 100% completion.
7/10. I would definitely spend a whole night going through it again.
