The level design and kinda sluggish gameplay are nothing to write home about--but the animal friends were a fun aspect that kept me coming back. I don't think I'd ever revisit this over Superstar Ultra, but I do wish there was a mechanic to shake up the copy abilities the way the animal buddies do in more Kirby games. Become too much of an intergalactic universe buster to have time for you cute hamster pal Rick, Kirby??
