I'm just going to say this now, this is one of the weakest Kirby games in the series. Don't get me wrong, the game is pretty and the music has such a large variety of bangers but what happened here??? Kirby moves slower than the line at the DMV and there's no way to speed it up. The ability combination mechanic is so flawed, there's so much room for error, you could lift up your ability and then either miss the throw or have some random thing offscreen come in and destroy it leaving you to restart (this happened so much I started to just save state at that point) 70 percent of the crystal shards are just guess the ability combination and its not even fun to do. I don't get any gratification from just looking at 2 colors and going "oh ok I need to green one and the orange one" I much prefer the crystal shards that required you to look around and explore instead of this. Speaking of which, collecting the crystal shards was easily the worst thing to come out of this game. Yes I know its optional but they lock the true final boss behind it which is just more content so the game I believe was meant to be played by collecting everything. Speaking of that true final boss, huge letdown. Like the spectacle is there, but all i'm doing is mashing one button and dodging the same attack pattern for 3-4 times till he dies. The least they could've done is idk just given me a new phase or something but it's the same song and dance till he decides enough is enough. It just sucks they made you work for something that doesn't even feel like it worth getting. A Kirby's Dreamland 3 reference. There are other games out there worth your time, this ones really shown its age, I wouldn't recommend unless you REALLY enjoy your Kirby games slow and boring.
