Genuinely one of my favorite games of all time. There isn't much to the gameplay itself, but what's there is polished to perfection and designed to feel as satisfying as possible. It's got a really cute and distinct art direction, and some surprisingly addictive action platformer stuff going on. Mixing powers and firing off attacks pretty much never gets old, and it has a ton of content to go around. Even after beating the (very packed) campaigns of content, I still regularly go back to Endless Mode to really push things. I think the lore and universe are extremely charming too, enough that I'd love to see more games that take place within it.

It also does the Kirby thing where the Hard Mode is actually just full of insane changes to the bosses and enemies, so it might as well be a second campaign. I think the developers took all the right influences for this charming little hidden gem of a game!
