A very well-rounded experience with a large set of power-ups to choose from for various platforming, puzzle, and boss fight challenges. Progressing through levels help build out Waddle Dee Town, which helps develop the gatcha figure collectibles as well as a few fun mini-games like food serving, marble puzzle/race, and fishing. Finding more and more new ways Kirby could turn into various things and that would expand the gameplay just a tiny bit further was the highlight of the game. Car Mouth is the original centerpiece of the game as shown in the trailer, but there's also plenty of others that are fun to control like arc mouth and water balloon mouth. It seems HAL took inspiration from Super Mario Odyssey's hat mechanic to let Kirby's shape-shifting abilities guide the gameplay, and it's all the better for it. And all this time I've yearned for a Dark Souls Babies Edition to get into that world, the bosses in this feel very much like that. I didn't often die, but it wasn't always an easy fight. There's a lot of variety to the way you can approach things, and as always with Nintendo games (HAL Lab is more to credit here, but they have a similar style), it always allows you to explore the nooks and crannies of the level to find fun goodies like more gatcha prizes or Waddle Dees. It's also paced well, jumping from world to world at a good pace of about 5 or so levels each (with several power-up challenges along the way to help you develop your skills), though the levels themselves can sometimes not feel all that particular to one world in style. Loved the theme park one the best I think, as rollercoaster mouth made for one of the most entertaining mini games. It's always throwing something new at you in every stage, either in power-up or mouthful mode, so you're always learning and playing through new situations. This hit the exact right spot for me difficulty-wise, since I'm not so bad at games that I find Yoshi's Crafted World a particularly interesting challenge, but I'm not so good at games I can play most of the extra post-game Mario levels. It's a lot of fun, and especially so if you like things on the slightly easier side!
