It's a great game no doubt, but I've kinda fallen out of love with it a little in more recent years. The ability combining mechanic is still hilarious and incredibly fun, the soundtrack is one of the best in the entire franchise, and it's still packed with loads of character and memorable bits like any good Kirby game is, but the polish isn't really there as much as it usually is.

The controls are sorta clunky sometimes, the abilities are not very versatile at all and it sorta starts to feel a little quantity-over-quality and 100%ing this thing to get to the true ending is a legitimate chore. Otherwise, make no mistake, this is still a very fun time.
