This was another game I really wanted to play as a kid, and now I've finally gotten around to it. And I gotta say, what a wonderful game.
It's got a great art style and it feels unique in the pantheon of kirby games. The levels are fun, and I like all the copy abilities they have in this one, though at the same time it's surprised which ones that I thought were classic were nowhere to be seen. I really enjoyed the animal companions, though I prefer some over others. And while I enjoyed most of the puzzles to get the hearts, some felt more tedious, and the mini-games were sometimes more annoying than they should've. That aside though, the bosses were really fun, especially the final boss. I really need to play more Kirby games, I've enjoyed the all so far.
