I enjoy this game more than I probably should. It's a solid encapsulation of joyful playlike platforming, and there's not much out there that captures it like Kirby in general. It manages to hook me with its exemplary artstyle, complemented by what I personally would say is the strongest soundtrack a Kirby game has received. It's as simple as anyone would expect to play, held up by good level design and godlike charm. Kirby's Return to Dream Land is a charming fun adventure and there's not much to dig into it other than that. It doesn't NEED to have anymore than that.
