Possibly the weakest Kirby game I've played? Movement in this game just feels so choppy and stilted. Like, there's no momentum or flow. I thought maybe I was just misremembering the movement in other games, but I turned on Super Star and it played just fine. So then I thought maybe this was just them getting used to the SNES hardware, but no, this was released literally after Super Star in 1997. There's not really any excuse for that tbh. On top of how poor the control is, the ability pool is so sparse. They try to balance this out by giving you the companion characters which all interact in different ways with each ability, but like, the control is bad, so they aren't really fun to use. I dunno, this game is just rough. It's fun at times, but I genuinely have no clue how they could mess up the movement of literally Kirby of all things. 2/6
