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?

I'll be honest, this one seems just a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong; I still think it's great, the controls are super smooth, and the level designs somehow still hold up (to me at least). But the annoying-ass camera behavior and the relatively esoteric nature of a few stars here and there keep me from putting it much higher than a 4. The only way I was able to 120star this without wanting to end all life on earth was via the PC port with modified camera controls.

It's super charming and you get to play as a cat(fox?)girl! Unfortunately, that's not enough to make a game good; controls were pretty delayed (could be emulation, don't know) and your starting weapon is pretty weak for the first few areas, making them unnecessarily difficult. I'll have to try it again some other time.
