Did you know that in 2004, a great accident took place where several victims were apparently beheaded in public with a mirror repurposed as a saw? Look up "mirror inflation rule34" for more info... So... ah, good, you have not fallen for my tricks. Seeing Meta Knight get owned in a 5 seconds cutscene made me believe that anything could happen from this point on. One could mistake this one for its GBA predecessor, as they share the same... about everything, but the affectionately dubbed Mirror Company has given us a nice slice of kirbyvania. What's the worst that can happen...?................ Well, I've had a healthy dose of fun. A dawg is a dawg, and Kirb is Kirb.

Nobody ask Kirby about the time loop of Candy Constellation. Seriously I entered the area and could not get out of the 6 same rooms hellooo child services this pink child has been: kidnappd 🤣🤣 such are the trials of a metroidvania. Aside from that, exploring has its perks. Kirby has different skin colors, and diferrent Kirbys, and... why are there so many Kirbys??? Is the hour of the Mass Attack upon us already. But clearly, only the pink one is putting in any effort, no red Kirby you do not have "goofy rizz" start vacating that Moonlight Mansion room in the boonies and put in work posthaste. Still impressive in a basic kind of way. I assume they just get assigned rooms and are not actually doing anything when you're not here. Like a classroom once the sub teacher "will be back in 5 minutes".

I guess my boy is getta pilferin'. The treasure system is much better realized in Squeak Squad, but we take the Ws we can. I don't know who made all these mini-bosses respawn, but they officially classify as hindrances, I'm damn hindered by this. The teleportation mirrors have Melee Marth range, at least, but I did die more often than the usual Kirby experience. It wasn't quite the walk in the park you'd expect, but it's also easy to navigate for the genre. Also... get this... I thought you could only destroy the iron blocks with hammer. That shit rare af. If only this mf knew he could fire 🤣 oooh the shame he brought on his entire family tree. But Mom... do you know why all those new enemies didn't even come back in further entries, let alone Squeak Squad or were heavily nerfed? Yeaaah Mirror Company had some trouble down the road. Why do I gotta fear the basic star blocks, whyyyyy. I'm baby

This time, to get to the scary final boss (another one of them), you have to beat nine shareholders shard holders. I think it's a great lesson to instill in that generation's youth, to not throw away your shit when you can fix it 👍 but on the other hand, Kirby's movesets fuckin suck 👎 so if you get any copy ability with more than one move, treasure it. I think you may even get the scare of your life with a certain hand in a certain room... no more half-measures. By sheer happenstance, I also know about the underground dealings that led to Mirror Company's inclusion of the Ohio theme song as an unlockable treasure chest. Look up "ohio big chest" for more info.
