Anyone else find it weird/interesting how Nintendo had such a huge fixation on an arts and crafts aesthetic during their Wii U era?? There was Yoshi's Woolly World with the yarn, Paper Mario Color Splash with the paint, and of course this game with the clay. Full stop, Rainbow Curse is one of the most beautiful video games I've ever seen visually. ITS SO PRETTY!!! :D I can't even begin to imagine the craftsmanship that went into every meticulous detail, background art, character design, etc. This game is a visual powerhouse and I will hear no rebuttal. Of course though, this is a sequel to Kirby Canvas Curse, and it must be analyzed as such. Sure, they got rid of the copy abilities as well as the general abstract charm of that game, but the trade of more tightly focused level design, a soundtrack that never stops producing fire, transformation sequences, charming side content, and even the incorporation of multiplayer?! Yeah, it's clear which is the superior of the two.

Kirby And The Rainbow Curse is quite possibly the best Kirby spinoff ever made and it's a goddamn shame that it's stuck on the Wii U as of now
