"Kirby huh? Heh, I'm starting to see the appeal."
As a newcomer, it's a pretty great introduction to many aspects of the series, I can see why people always say to start with this one.
I'd give it a 4, but I disliked how much bosses were reused across the subgames (which I hear is a trend throughout the whole series), and then Meta Knightmare Ultra is just short versions of all the Kirby campaigns but you can only use sword, the very few new abilities Meta has aren't much, they pretty much just serve to skip the annoying bosses (which you also repeat in this campaign) or to heal, which kinda makes the candies worthless, especially since the cave and milky way wishes levels replace all the treasures and abilities Kirby had with just candy and lives so you just kinda speedrun those big ass levels beacause the secrets aren't any good. Almost nothing is contextualized in that mode either, despite having cutscenes.
Meta just destroys his own ship for no reason and they didn't even put a Kirby boss there, Galacta Knight was cool I guess.
I also disliked how easy it is to take contact damage from doing a dash attack on bosses, maybe have the attack push them or something? Also why do I take contact damage from the sub-bosses after beating them??? I'm just trying to finish them off or swallow them and even then you can lose health!
Still, great game. I'll try to beat the first arena at least and then play the Dreamland games after some time, these games seem to be too similar to play all close to each other.
