"Ugggh that Giygas' Lair ahh labyrinth in DL3 sucks!!!" dw, we got you covered hands you sterile Kirby game in slow motion. That is not the nicest thing to say to Super Star, though it rings kinda true sometimes. It does more right than wrong ultimately, and that's what (Dark) matters. Did you know that one bird in Meta Knight's story? His name in german, it's Käpt'n Geyer, this one is funny idk why every german word sounds like somebody cursing my bloodline tho. He really left the ship in one (1) nanosecond! Too ashamed to appear again. I gotta admit, I forgot him from when I played Super Star Ultra all those years ago. I can understand why ahah.

Super Star truly is a fun pak, indeed there's a remake of Dream's Land with abilities (KINO??) a new adventure with Dream's Land vibes and design (SOUL??), an entire gamemode for le epic Meta Knight (PEAK??), a collectibles hunting game where you find goofy shit and come back whenever you want once you've reached the end of the roaaaaad (BANGER??), Marx taking a shit in space and creating a black hole (HOLY BASED??) a racing short story where you eat unhealthy food (SLOP??!). Then the... Arena. And minigames. I feel like this section is entirely useless if you've played the game before, but yeah Milky Way Wishes is the peak and Gourmet Race is the bottom. The variety of content is setting my gyatt on fire although what I said about "better than the sum of its parts" for Dream Course applies here... less positvely.

Definitely, the best part about Super Star is a lot of abilities most having their own movesets. Quantity over quality... stfu i'm getting both!! It's no wonder Yo-Yo disappeared for a while although there must be personal beef if it took Star Allies to get this banger ability back. I also love Ninja you can go off-screen without action replay cheating... spark is so cool you can spark up and booom you release! What's also great is opening the pause menu and Kirby smiles at you and yells in caps "YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF...NOW!!" oh thankfully he didn't do that, he doesn't warn you that bosses are gonna be bangers though so that's definitely the 2nd best part since Kirby games don't have a good track record in their first decade in the gamingsphere.

It sounds like I'm describing a game with a higher rating and clicked on a completely different game's logs, when I am in fact just not feeling it. I've played co-op, cool time with bestie but I might just be struggling to feel anything after being used to the DS one. I don't remember the control scheme being this wacky for starters. The graphics are kinda yucky compared to like, every other Kirby game that ever Kirby'd ngl. He looks like he's on the bus home from Harvard. He no pursu higher education bcuz time for studying = less time for eating ppl ! !

I don't see too many people talking about Super Star's control scheme, and I completely agree that kirby feels clunky and sluggish! And yeah, the graphics in Dreamland 3 look better than Super Star. I picked DL3 because they're both SNES titles, but personally even Kirby's Adventure looks better than Super Star. Maybe it's the shading or the palette choices.

@CrystalPixel yes! the controls not being ideal with the movement that feels off and the close shot camera is not a good combination. DL3 graphics being better than KSS seems agreed upon, to little surprise. Everything looks shiny and plasticky at once.
