First and foremost, this game looks fantastic. Got no idea how you pull off a drawing style on the SNES but this is how you do it. Kirby's speed here is nice as well, he's fast in this game which keeps the pace high (for the most part). Most of the worlds are pretty solid as well. Neutral on the new and old animal buddies, never been super fond of them but I don't dislike them either. Just preferred using Kirby most of the time. The issues come with the puzzles being unfathomably cryptic sometimes, making a guide to them basically required if you want to get anywhere near the true final boss. I really try to avoid comparing this to Superstar as well, but I really really wish there was more depth to the copy abilities like there was in that game in this one, it would make it so much more fun! Despite all that though Kirby's Dream Land 3 is mostly pretty fun, despite the rough patches. Got no idea what to rate this since its pretty on the borderline between 7 and 8 in my mind, so I'll rate it the one I'm leaning toward atm.
