Not gonna lie, realistically this game isn't really as good as stuff like Kirby's Adventure or the modern Kirby games that I gave the same rating, but it's probably one of the most nostalgic games for me. This was one of the few Game Boy games I actually owned growing up, along with Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, the Game Boy Pokemon games, and Dragon Quest Monsters. It's very flawed, but at the time it was like the best platformer ever to me.

That true final boss though? Fuck that shit. Getting the rainbow drops is bad enough, but for some reason HAL decided to make this final boss a goddamn monster. Two phases, extremely quick attacks compared to a very slow Kirby, and a large healthpool even if you deflect his deflectable attacks back at him. Just terrible.
