"I NEED A MONSTAH TO CLOBBAH THAT DERE KIRBEH!" - King Dedede, from the lyrics of the intro to Kirby Right Back at Ya!

The first half of the pink puffball's GBA journey comes in the form of a remake of his second tale. Applying a fresh coat of paint does wonders for this game by adding some minute details that brings alot of charm for the series. The Copy Abilities have never looked so stylish before, and the addition of some new minigames are a neat bonus. Gameplay-wise, it is similar to it's NES counterpart, but a lot more smoother. Being able to play as Meta Knight for the first time in the series was a treat too. While it's not my favorite Kirby game, it is a nice go-to for some simple suck-n-puffs. The idea to introduce less experienced players through this game while tying into the anime's release was really cool to see here. Another example of a remake handled well!
