This one was a bit tricky for me to get into. I attempted to play through this several times over the past decade, but could never really figure out what I was doing. After deciding to play through every mainline Kirby game however, I finally sat down and learned how the the map works, and honestly??? I really liked this one.

Despite the barrier to entry and the ludicrous amount of backtracking needed to 100% the game, I think this is one of the best 2D Kirby games solely down to its non-linear nature. Surely Flagship would go on to make another Kirby game as good as this one, right?
