I think it's the game I like the least from all mainline Kirby games.
The music was in line or even better than that of the previous games. The added characters, cutscenes and overall tone was also great.
The game itself was a huge downgrade from anything that has come before. I think it's the worst looking Kirby game and it has aged pretty badly, while Super Star and DL3 still look great today. It's also too easy even for a Kirby game, specially the bosses. The "secrets" needed for the true boss are obtuse and obnoxious to achieve since you have to backtrack to try and get different ability combos to get the crystals. Said ability combos are cool but have little use, you're almost always better without any ability at all. Kirby also moves WAY too slow, it's almost frustrating.
It's playable but a huge letdown if you've played almost any other Kirby game.
