Rather than repeating the same old Kirby trivia and factoids here, ad nauseum (comin' right back at ya~!), I will instead delve into a bit of philosophy. Kirby is, in my opinion, quite Taoist in essence-- Tao, meaning he embodies many of the traits of the ancient Chinese Way. For example, in his modest appearance, Kirby is small, pink, and always wears a happy face (disregarding American Box-arts). His cute exterior masks his true inner potential and ferocious skills/appetite- much like how a true master of martial arts does not go around starting fights, both paths are the key to a long, happy life. He is an entity composed of opposite energies and can produce the Five Elements: Kirby can be cold as ice, hot as fire, quick as lightning, still as stone, soft as a cloud- or sharp as needles. One of Kirby's most famous skills is the ability to inhale enemies and their attacks, and either copy them, or spit them back out as stars. This technique is certainly very similar to TaiChi, where the opponent's force is used against them. The way Kirby gains abilities can be thought of as the potential each of us has within ourselves- we have the chi to become anything we set our minds to, with proper direction and diligence. Kirby is round and simple- a symbolic representation of the cycle of life and the genuine nature of all things. Kirby has good morals (De), always helping those who come to him in need, and often making friends, going so far as to convert former enemies into friends through pure will and good-character. Finally, both he and Dedede know the value of Wu Wei: despite his fame and power, Kirby prefers to live the lazy lifestyle in the amazingly peaceful Dream Land, where the King rules by doing absolutely nothing. Yes, Kirby's world is full of valuable lessons we can all apply to ourselves, if one is willing to delve deeper than the surface of this subtly philosophical series.

this thread is too deep for me man
So yeah, King Dedede totally pwns. He has all the basic abilities Kirby has (sans Copy Abilities), in addition to his strength to crush lesser beings by his mighty jumps, as well as to lift that massive mallet, which coincidentally grants him all the moves Hammer Ability enables. Dedede's also the most developed Kirby character, personality-wise, in my opinion, aided by the fact that he's appeared in every game but KatAM. In the beginning, the King started off as a thief and a glutton (though he still has these traits), ruling over the populace by depriving them of necessities. After being bested by Kirby, Dedede trained hard to achieve the same strength as the pink pudge displayed, yet was again trumped by a powered-up Kirby when trying to protect the kingdom (albeit, by stealing again). Then, in Super Star +Ultra, Dedede continued to challenge and compete with Kirby, striving to be better than him in fighting and eating, but both times being dethroned and shown the error of his ways. Even after all his Revenge planning, it just goes to show, jealousy and force can not darken a heart as pure as Kirby's. Then, he was possessed a couple of times, and was actually grateful to Kirby for aiding him and his kingdom. This is when Dedede truly has a change of heart, and (begrudgingly) helps him out in times of need. Afterwords, having LEARNED his lessons, both Dedede and Kirby generally are on good terms (and an awesome playable character in Return to Dream Land!), except when the former is falsely accused by the latter of misdeeds, or when Kirby indignantly intrudes on the King's private property (Get of'fa my lawn, ya darn kids!). Personally, I believe my attitude and style also reflect Dedede's progression/philosophy, and I guess that's another reason I'm so drawn to his character. Here's hoping he continues to play a fun, helpful role in future games, as well as further embraces his Japanese-ness, as seen in Ninja Dojo and Samurai Kirby-- Whaha~!
Parasol Waddle Dee is a very special case- there is no other character in Dream Land who inherently does not offer an ability, yet whose power is a direct result of the tool in which they currently possess. This intriguing aspect makes me wonder, just how closely related Kirby and the Waddle Dees may actually be. Kirby acquires his Abilities by inhaling and copying the essence of his foes, but Waddle Dee has no mouth, and therefore can never learn in this most efficient way. It would seem, that the only way Waddle Dee can learn skills (potentially gaining the effects of Copy Abilities, himself) is just like the struggle of the common man-- everyone must practice hard, learn the tools of the trade, and use that knowledge and skill to elevate your lowly position in life. Again, I like the Kirby Anime's take on the Waddle Dees being a metaphor for the struggle of Chinese laborers, which is actually very fitting for their tireless/timeless nature. In addition to parasol use, Waddle Dees are also talented in wielding spears as weapons (and to prove Waddle Dees learn, just look at Bandanna Dee's progression from KSSU to RtDL-- he mastered- nay, pioneered- Spear Ability in so short a time!) in addition to riding Nruffs and piloting various craft/vehicles. Finally, one last bit of interesting info is that Waddle Dee was originally going to be a playable character in Kirby 64 (instead of just providing a lift every now and then) like King Dedede. Waddle Dee's signature trait would have been to pick up other enemy characters and use their actions and attributes to attack and move about the stages, similar to how they use items in the more recent games. This "over-the-head" trick was later adopted by Kirby in the game's final product. You were so close Waddle Dee~!
Let's take a moment to think about Waddle Doo's attacks throughout the entire series. They can range anywhere from tackling and ramming wildly (64), to poorly using a sword (Hnk), to using the basic Beam whip (most appearances), to finally performing big blasts of energy when suped-up (RtDL). Like Waddle Dee, I believe that Doo is also a character that needs to hone his Abilities, and work to acquire skill, instead of being naturally embedded with it, as Kirby is. Conversely to Dee, however, Waddle Doo is not capable of using advanced techniques using tools and weapons. He does have a greater psychic ability, though, and when properly trained, can even rival Kirby in his proficiency of Beam-based martial skills. Waddle Doo is an austere friend and companion, and will serve either Kirby as a dependable Helper, or King Dedede as a loyal soldier of his Waddle army, depending on the situation. Don't let his looks scare you- W. Doo is an alright dude!
Knuckle Joe has a look to him that is unique among Kirby's cast of characters, in that he's one of the few that could be considered "humanoid". He has a broad face on a blue, blobby body, and blond hair that is parted in the middle "Hey Arnold" style, by his sparring headband. He has large feet on short legs, and large, boxing-gloved hands on short arms. With such an awkwardly-formed body shape, one might wonder exactly how this guy could become a master of martial arts! That said, he is one of the few Helpers to not prove equal to Kirby, as he lacks the ability to preform Judo Throw. He is still a decent fighter, though, and can throw fireballs and uppercuts like a pro. As the Kirby games have progressed, certain design elements have changed with the times-- Knuckle Joe is no exception, since he originally lacked shoulder guards and a mouth (at least, in official art!). Today, his design clearly incorporates these elements, yet Joe is about the only character to have kept the classic "hash-cheek" blushes of older games.
According to Brawl's trophy description, Knuckle Joe "looks and fights the part of a Muai Thai boxer". It's kind of a far stretch to say, since the sport is known for its eight strike points, of fists, feet, elbows, and knees- and many of Kirby's relations have only a fraction of the required limbs- but AT LEAST Joe does technically possess the necessary joints, so I guess it's worth a shot. It is possible that Knuckle Joe was named after the character from Tetsuya Chiba's old manga, "Tomorrow's Joe". Like Knuckle Joe, Yabuki Joe is also a hardcore boxer, as well as an orphan, and strives to be the best at one thing in life-- fighting. I recently learned about the series, and it's an interesting read, if your a Knuckle Joe fan, I guess. *Wipes nose with gloved-finger; leaves*
It's no wonder that ol' Mets is so popular- for that is exactly the reason for which he was designed. States HAL, "this dude's the coolest-of-the-cool masked knight", is a bit of an overstatement, especially considering the butterfly wings (but still incredibly overall badass) his original pre-Adventure design bolstered. Despite his overwhelming popularity, it is a bit curious when you wonder, what exactly someone as dark and mysterious as Meta Knight is doing in such a cheerfully-colorful world as Dream Land. He additionally has a strict warrior code, (also strange for the undisciplined kingdom), that he will refuse to take part in a mismatched duel (nearly always offers a sword before battle). MK's a very schizophrenic individual, it seems, first working under King Dedede, then trying to overthrow him and dominate Dream Land out of nowhere, and later both helping and hindering Kirby as the progressive games' plots require. Meta Knight is very much a "Sakurai" character- having appeared in every game, besides the original, Masahiro worked on (and later games that follow the Super Star Style/ i.e. not the Dream Land trilogy) and due to his grandiose treatment in Brawl, is clear the creator knows and loves him more than anyone. If there is one thing the anime can vouch for, it's probably good for explaining the motives behind Meta's madness, since Sakurai supervised production. Forgetting all that Star Warrior stuff, but still trying to tie all of Hoshi no Kaabi together, I believe that the game's MK also sees the potential in Kirby, and knows the threat inactivity can have on Dream Land- leading to greater troubles, and perceives the hidden motives behind some of the series villains, and therefore directs his actions based on this wisdom. Though he is no match for Kirby's youth and limitless abilities, he will do whatever it takes to become even more powerful (battling the strongest warrior in the galaxy) to perhaps succeed Kirby, if he is ever to fail.
>>340663785

>>340664793
With that said, Meta Knight is clearly overpowered, as it is already. He wields a mighty golden sword, of which there are two varieties: Master- the original, classic-shaped, yellow and glowing with aura, which Kirby was able to fight Dark Mind with in Amazing Mirror; and Galaxia- the modern, flame-shaped, with spikes, based on the anime adaption. Both are capable of firing sword beams, sending out shockwaves, and conjuring up tornadoes that rage across the screen. In addition to mastering Sword Ability, it seems MK has trained himself to perform actions from the Wing and Tornado movesets. Meta Knight also commands a crew of underlings, ironically called the "Meta-Knights", who each fight with their own specialized skills and weapons. As stated, MK also owns the Halberd, an airship with an insane amount of guns, cannons, and minibosses/mecha, totally putting the King's Kaboola airship to shame. In many ways, Meta is quite the Yang to Dedede's Yin: the two opposing forces of fast and slow, light and heavy, sharp and blunt, active and slothful. However, both are self-absorbed egoists- the only difference being the frequency they show it: the King wastes no time proclaiming his status and plastering his insignia on everything he owns, while Knight prefers to lurk in the shadows biding his time until it is right to show his true power! Now, time for me to get outta here before this description gets any longer~!
Ever since my days at the 'Resort, a mystery that has surrounded Sir Kibble's true form for me was, "could he be a hollow shell of armor, or simply a black ball with no visible eyes?"; however, through the power of Brawl's Trophy renders, I have reached a decision. Sir Kibble is actually an empty helmet, with stark-black interior. He also has floating hands (unlike Meta Knight, with visible arm-flaps) which seem to evoke a ghostly association with the armored enemy. Still, I made the figure before realizing, and sculpted him with a rounded, black interior-form, for simplicity's sake (And who doesn't simply LOVE sake~?). Forgive me, I'm rambling again... Anyway. There is a fine line between Cutter and Sword Ability, it seems. They even confusingly share the same attack (Final Cutter) on and off, and as Kirby's move pool expands, Cutter becomes even more similar to Sword, gaining close-range attacks. A defining factor between the two, at least for me, is that- since Sword knight and Blade Knight have both frequently been subjects to Meta Knight, I see it that Sir Kibble is King Dedede's signature armored knight. This is due to Sword and Blade only appearing in games where Meta Knight is also present, and Sir Kibble thriving in the "Dream Land Trilogy" where the atmosphere's more Dedede-centric. Finally, his name, I guess, comes from his skill at chopping people into kibble with his Cutter-blade, certainly~
Whoawowo! And, let's not forget mentioning Sir Kibble's mighty miniboss-upgrade in RtDL, "Kibble Blade" who looks even more nightly than the former! Yeah, that dude is something serious~!
Poppy Bro. Jr. is one of the more humanoid characters which inhabit Dream Land. His style is based on a jester- though not to the extent to which Marx is defined. They always seem very passive and carefree- usually seen skipping along, known for riding apples and Grizzos along the courses, very rarely ever actively attacking with their weapons, compared to their aggressive superiors. Poppy Bro. Jr. is a unique species that can either offer no ability, or one based on the item they hold. Poppy can wield bombs for the Bomb Ability, or boomerangs for the Cutter Ability. Likewise, the Senior Brother can yield either Bomb or Crash ability when inhaled, yet never uses a boomerang. The boomerang-throwing Brother is most likely a reference to the original Kirby's Dream Land, where there was a character named Boomer, who looked surprisingly similar to Poppy, sans a mouth, that threw said blades. Poppy Bro. Jr is one of the first enemies the player meets in the Kirby games- premiering exclusively in Green Greens, and Poppy Sr. is the very first miniboss in the series, and the only one in the first game that is not just a precursor to a stage boss. There is a "Poppy Brothers Land" in Kirby's Pinball, as one of the play-tables. Poppy Bro. Sr. actually appears as a boss in this game, alongside other Poppy Jr. Bros., and Mr. Frosty as a miniboss.
Right after Masahiro Sakurai completed Air Ride, he resigned from the company. During this time of confusion, Kirby was licensed to a certain company called "FlagShip"- by Hal, supposedly to supply the demand for more Kirby games the anime fueled. It was with these Flagship games (Amazing Mirror, Squeak Squad) for the GBA and DS that introduced many new/unfitting/poorly-designed characters to the Kirby series, as well as replaced and excluded series favorites, like the Poppy Bros.
Rocky is one of my all time favorite Helpers. Disregarding the highly limited Stone Ability, I like Rocky because of his higher than average HP, but especially for his great design- it is simple (even for Dream Land standards), and rooted in Japanese style. One may think that Rocky's headband is simply an accessory the designers gave him to make him seem tough, but I know the true origins behind the knotted cord~! Such ropes are known as Shimenawa made of straw, and used to indicate pure environments, ward off evil spirits, and in Rocky's case, to encase nature spirits within great ancient objects, such as trees and stones. Rocky is most likely based on the Iwakura- rocks worshiped in Shinto. A famous example are the "Wedded Rocks" off the coast of Ise. On a different note, there is one (possibly Japanese) reference with Rocky and Stone Ability that I have not yet grasped. So I ask, does anyone know what's the deal with that black bird that sits atop Rocky and Stone Kirby in their Ability Icons in Kirby Super Star and Ultra? A folktale, perhaps, but could just be depicting opposites...
Monitoring this thread. Also where can I get these sculptures?
I don't know what OP's topic is about but I do know that today was a good day.
>>340663423
>the sculptures from that artist on Rainbow Resort
You are amazing OP, thank you for posting these. I've been looking for the the past three years.
I gotta admit, I've never been too impressed with Blade Knight, or Sword Ability, for that matter. His body shape is just plain confusing-- like they chopped off a person's head and the helmet landed on his torso, with mountainous shoulders! Couple that with boring old sword slash, and Meta Knight's entourage from HnK, and here is a character I would gladly replace with another similarly named foe-- "Blade" the tough, sword carrying can-knight from Kirby's Dream Land 2. But, Blade Knight is not all boring... as said, he has a secret single eye beneath his visor, and old official art shows him with two bug-like antenna, rather than red hair. Taking into consideration that the single Waddle Doo in the anime brandishes a sword, a theory of mine suggests that Blade Knights are actually armored Waddle Doos, or a deformed species relative to them. In conclusion, I won't forget to mention Gigant Edge, the Sword miniboss from Return to Dream Land Wii. His design is so sweet, I'd love to play as that character~

Chilly is a grand old character, I dare say! And, he makes a mighty fine sculpture, too! Just look at him in his natural habitat-- a snow-blanketed tundra! Actually, it's just the same white tablecloth I use with every one of my models. I'll let you in on a secret: the reason his hands stay in place so securely, despite resting so precariously off from his body, is because I shoved a wire through his body to his hands, while crafting the character. Time now for more Japanese history lessons/ Kirby connections! Chilly is based on a traditional type of Japanese Snowman, known as the "Yuki-Daruma" ! Yuki translates to snow, whereas Daruma is a wooden wish doll based on the Indian sage, Bodhidaruma, who brought Buddhism to East Asia. He was said to be so steadfast in his meditation practice, it was believed that his arms and legs withered away to nothing, and left only a monk with head and torso. That is why Japanese snowmen only have two sections rather than three, and often lack arms (yes, Chilly has hands!) They also always wear a bucket hat, for reasons unknown. Finally, it is rumored on the Japanese Wiki's that Chilly's bell-collar may be a reference to Doraemon, a popular robotic anthropomorphic cat, whose only accessory is said collar.
Burnin' Leo is very dear to me, for only I (as far as I know) have made the connection between him and traditional Japanese Kabuki theater! Allow me to elaborate: there are several reasons why I believe that Burnin Leo is in fact derived from the iconic and imposing "Lion Spirits" (Shishi), dancers of the aragoto style. First, let's look at his name, "Burnin LEO"- this is enough to create an association with lions, if you are at all familiar with astrology. Secondly, take a close look at his design- Leo's "hair" is the most noticeable feature about him, and it's colored white and red, like fire. Likewise, the Lion Spirit is also popular for his extremely long mane-like wig, colored either red or white, and which sideburns are held in his hands, just like Burnin Leo. Also, notice Leo's eyes are just a little different (even from similar eyed enemies, such as Bronto Burt) as they are outlined and drawn to give the effect of eyeliner, which is another obvious trait of kabuki's "kumadori" face-makeup. Finally, the most striking similarity between the two lions is reflected in their movement-- it's the iconic hair-flip that gives it away! The most popular part of a kabuki Shishi dance is when the actors rear up and revolve their heads, causing the hair of their wigs to trail in a wide, circular fashion. This action, perhaps, is simplified, yet still basically retained, in the Kirby games, if you recall Burnin' Leo's unique walk-cycle that has him flipping his fiery mane in a circle as he moves about. Yes, I am certain that this most beloved of KSS Helpers is indeed a reference to Japanese Theater! And, that's why I love the Kirby series so-- how characters like Leo are so subtly and wittily designed and integrated in a childlike wonderland~

Biospark is one of my many favorite characters in the Kirby series. Everybody loves ninjas, but he was doing it before it was cool. The only better ninja in Kirby, in my opinion, is Waiyu (who looks a lot like Biospark, with a more human-shape) who actually grants the Cutter Ability in Dream Land 2. The anime missed an opportunity to include Biospark (of course, it wasted MANY opportunities...) and instead came up with "Yamikage" and "Benikage" for Ninja Binge. A new ninja appears in Return to Dream Land, named "Tsukikage" (FYI-- kage means shadow) who looks a lot like Biospark, and is also purple. Biospark, himself, has appeared recently in Squeak Squad, where he hid in wait for Kirby in the background, much like Peran from DL3. In Kirby Mass Attack's BrawlBall subgame, a Biospark was sorta a playable character on the pinball table, I guess you could say. Every time the player toggled the flippers, he would shoot a Kunai out, that gave bonus points if it made contact with a Kirby pinball. In closing, I would like to share some old Guru wisdom/speculation: In the development of the original Kirby Super Star for SNES, could it be possible that the moniker "Bio Spark" was the beta name for a character we know today as Plasma Whisp? Spark Ability was the original electrical attack before Plasma was introduced in KSS, so maybe then, the flame of living/bio sparks was the name originally intended, but later arbitrarily relegated to another character (the ninja) after Plasma Ability developed into its own thing
(Or perhaps it means he is a "living spark", quick and precise, yet fleeting)

Glorious. My favorite helper
Birdon is a pretty great all-around character, in my opinion. Though I don't care for Wing Ability much, Birdon's great design makes it all worth while. It's interesting to note that both Birdon and Dyna Blade share many characteristics, such as large eyes, rainbow colored wings, attractive hairstyles, as well as them both being bird species. But, perhaps that's just due to both premiering in KSS and possibly both having the same designer... In particular, Birdon's inspiration comes from the Major Mitchell's Cockatoo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_Mi… Just look at the similarities~! For Wing Ability's reappearance in Air Ride, Birdon was replaced by the stranger-looking Flappy, and then again in RtDL with Owgulf.
Simirror has so far only appeared in the games Kirby Super Star, and remake- Ultra, however, his design continues to inspire other certain Kirby characters to this day. The Kirby-style wizard motif is duplicated in the likes of Drawcia and Magolor and takes a more Magician-like route with Wiz in Amazing Mirror (in which, ironically, neither Sim nor the Mirror Ability were included). However, it's most likely that these other related ideas also stem from more popular designs like Meta Knight and Dark Matter Swordsman. Although, fitting with this trend of mysterious Kirby characters, Simirror also is a good example that not all Dream Landers are sphere-bodied! Contrary to his "symmetrical" nature, Simirror is actually one of the characters without perfect symmetry- just because he's often depicted holding a wand in only one hand, while a single foot peeks out the bottom of his gown. Of course, I can go this far without mentioning his similarity in design with another video game wizard warrior- Final Fantasy's Black Mage, especially in the older games, where their squat appearance is almost identical. Simirror has the best pun-name of all Kirby's Helpers-- the basis of which is derived from the words "Similar" and "Mirror", akin to his Mirror Ability attributes. And, if you happen to find any of this info SIMIRROR to other sources, be sure that I am very thankful to all the wikis around the web that so generously provide their wealth of knowledge to researchers like me~
Plasma Wisp has a very minimalist appearance (even as far as Kirby character go). He is almost zen-like in his simplicity, for those features are all the electric entity needs. Though the character has remained relatively unchanged throughout the years, the artstyle of the games has evolved for the better, in my opinion. For example, at his inception, the Wisp's sprite had a lot of empty space between the flames, whereas now, he's looking a lot more wholesome and full. PW is one of the few characters that has retained multiple defined fingers on his mits, rather than the simpler boxing-glove look that the series seems to prefer in recent years. Also, Plasma Wisp is one of those characters that tends to work better in 2D and on-screen... he presents many more challenges when one tries to bring the character into a 3D world, notably in clay, painted in-the-round, and taking gravity into consideration...
Plasma is an interesting material state. Setting it aside from liquid, solid, and gas, plasma is an otherworldly substance all its own. It is said to have electrical properties, but the question is, are these properties enough to distinguish Plasma from another, more prominent Kirby Ability: Spark~? Recent games would tell you NO, seeing as how Spark Ability has absorbed all the traits and attacks that Plasma originally held. I'm all for combining the abilities, if it helps to make the games more intuitive as the playstyles evolve. But, does this mean the end of Plasma Wisp!? Anyway, culture time-- Going along with the Kirby series' strong reliance on Japanese ghosts, PW is probably based on the Japanese Hitodama (Will-o-the-wisp/ souls of the departed) due to his featureless fiery appearance. Quoting Wikipedia, "In the 1980s, the Yoshiko Ootsuki posited the idea that they are "plasma from the air." And, if that doesn't directly relate to Plasma Wisp, I don't know what does~!

Water, with its Kirby GCN bubbles and with the unique look it gave him, should appear in a new game.
As good as Robobot is, I'm glad I can fall back on Triple Deluxe. With the Armor Mechanics and fast-paced boss fights, it gets overwhelming after a bit. Always being surrounded by machinery doesn't help a bit. TD is so much more relaxing by comparison. Plus, it has my favorite ability.

Yeah, but the dropped thing didn't do damage like Suplex.

Every thrown object did damage in super star the same way it does in modern games. Jet could 3-hit KO Kracko with Rocket Dive with the ascent, the dive, and the thrown enemy. Damage can be done the same way in Robobot. Grabs and throws aren't exclusive to Suplex; that was just the ability's Modus Operandi.

I'm liking it. I can already see the refinement that HAL brought to the level designs. And the levels I've played so far all have great background themes and elements. The new powers are pretty fun too, even if they still don't match my boi archer. I'm digging the electronic mixes to classic Kirby music.

>>340677368
I think the helper system would be a bit stressful. In RtD, players could drop in and out at any point. With helpers, enemies with Copy Abilities would need to be found first, turning players 2-4 into backseat players until they are found.

I would like that too. I'd also like the 3D full 3D world, with depth, winding turns, the real sense of progression Kirby 64 offered. Say what you want about the game, but I preferred that to 2.5D at least. It would work much better in higher resolution with widescreen, too, as the screen can be zoomed out more and you can see ahead of you better.

>Jet + mech = shmup
I'm not mad just a little disappointed, other than that Kirby planet robobot is great.
>>340679658
Not exactly, 2.5D graphics are made with the same design ethic as 2D, with polygons. Same kind of camera, foregrounds, platforms, and backgrounds. Games like Kirby 64 create a fully 3D world and put you on a single path, with dynamic cameras and turning paths. They take more advantage of 3D. It's more like 2.7D.
>>340680091
Nyeh Simirror.
Kirby 64 Crystal Shards is the best Kirby game prove me wrong.
>>340680884
Too slow.

Bosses are mostly shitty.
No co-op.
>>340680884

>>340680884
I can't, it's the best Kirby game to you, and I wouldn't want to take that away from you.
>>340680091
Explain? I don't get it.
>>340680884
Its a great game, the only thing that plagues it is that the controls feel loose as fuck when jumping or running.
>>340679910
New anon. Poison is great for bosses, but not the best for navigating levels. Water does that better.
>>340680884
This: >>340681120
Especially the slow part. It's like going through molasses.
Also the combining power ups thing, while nice, makes collecting the shards an absolute pain in the ass.
>>340681120
That may be true, however there's a lot of lesser known awesome stuff about Kirby and The Crystal Shards. There's secret boss that you have to collect all of the shards to fight. The OST is out there online too, with stuff like "Club mixes" too, lol. There's the post-apocalyptic earth world too. I remember playing it at Mcdonalds in Oregon when I were 4 years old in 2001 with their awesome center-video game stations. There's just something so magical about the music and graphics in this game. It's wonderful.

What's your favorite Kirby game?
Nightmare in dreamland is my second favorite.
Real Talk, Kirby is the most consistent gaming series of all time.
When you buy a traditional Kirby game, you know exactly what you're getting every time and you know you wont be disappointed. Every mainline game from Dream Land 1 right up to Robobot has been nothing short of great.
I'd even consider Kirby as being one of the great spin-off series too. Air Ride, Power Paintbrush & Rainbow Curse and even Epic Yarn are criminally underrated games that get shit on more than they should. Epic Yarn especially, that had an amazing OST:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSRnJyfZoYQ
>>340682061
Kirby Super Star, the obvious choice I know but I never get tired of play it with friends.
My 2nd and 3rd favorites are Kirby's Adventure and Kirby's Dream Land 3.
Why are Kirby threads the only happy Nintendo-related threads nowadays?
All the other ones just have tons of shitposting, "Nintendo will go third party lol" or just "muh sales". The worst we get nowadays are faggots who come in and spout "lol kiddy game" and leave.
What is it about Kirby that keeps everyone so calm
>>340682487
Wow! Awesome to meet a superstar fan. I've never had the pleasure before.
There is actually a lot to learned from Kirby, this thread has helped me a lot as a person.
Remember the Kirby Tilt n Tumble for Game Boy Color? That game was awesome. Funny story, I plugged it into my GameCube adapter but it didn't work for what are now obvious reasons to me. So I picked up my GameCube and started tilting it around and stuff to play the game lol.

To hate Kirby is to hate videogames.
Nobody ever wants to expose themselves by shitposting in a Kirby thread.
>>340682935
There was going to be a Kirby Tilt N' Tumble 2 on the gamecube, which would have required a GBA as a controller with a gyro cartridge popped in. I can understand why they didn't go through with the idea, but I think it could have been even more realized as an E-Shop game on the Wii U.

>Top tier atmospheres for the worlds and levels
Is this it? Have we reached peak kirby?
>>340685530
Oh right, forgot about that one, I caught that one my first time around luckily. I like how they still have good ways to hide these things in the games.
>>340685631
When will we get to mix powers again? Mixing powers was so cool...
>>340685631
The repeated gameplay changes from Kirby to Robobot were a bit disorienting for me. But then again, I binged the game after it came out.
>>340685841
There was plenty of room for improvement, too. I feel like that mechanic never lived up to its potential.
>>340685631
It's the peak for Kumazaki to say the least, I'm still more partial to Super Star but Robobot is definitely in my top 5. That was the most fun I had with a game in so long.
>>340685370
>pirating before a system has been phased out

The new abilities are pretty fun, I love the poison mechanic for Poison Kirby. I'm also super happy Mirror is back, I love it. Fighter is still the best though.
>>340686029
I like how they all have their own styles.
>Sakurai
Poppy, happy, adventurous, and cartoony.
>Shimomura
Subtle, laid-back, and slightly sombre.
>Kumazaki
Actiony, flashy, and anime-like.
I'd really like another creative mind at HAL gets a chance at directing some Kirby games, I wonder where they'll take it next!
>>340686863
Shimo style was best.
>we'll never get a puzzle-oriented Kirby platformer again
>>340686585
I like how Return to Dream Land gave a little indication of where pits were, that faded black and grey striped border.
>>340687075
I'm sure we will anon, just give it time. They've done 3 really good Adventure style games now, I'm sure they're itching to either cool down with something simpler, or spice things up with something more ambitious.
I love that Jet is back but what did they do to it's speed?
It feels like they mixed up Jet and Fire's horizontal charge
>>340686863
My least favorite trilogy was definitely Shimomura's. Mainly because of the lack of standalone abilities and hats. Elsewise it was pretty good.
Playing Dream Land 2 for the first time and WTF?! Nobody told me that it was this hard (at least for a Kirby game).
I also find it kind of bland, but that might be because I came from playing Robobot, TD and NiD.
One cool thing though, and IIRC this wasn't possible in NiD, is that they have a jump button (without the floating) and a float button. I'd always get killed in NiD because I'd unintentionally float.
The fucking dedede clones exploding into D D D was amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yueWU5K8O9w
<3
>>340687597
In super star, Jet could fly endlessly horizontally if you dashed before jumping. If you didn't, you would fall a lot between boosts. Robobot removed this, making you peter out after a set amount of boosts, but allowed one to fly for great lengths regardless of whether they dashed before they jumped.
DL3 for 3DS when?
>>340687831
Prepare your anus for the true final boss.
>>340687751
I like hats, but I also like that they don't use them when they decide to make the power effect Kirby physically and become a part of him, more than becoming a tool that he's using. It also works better with the more minimalist style those games have. It all depends on presentation, really.
I also like how the abilities work in DL3. Simplified a lot from Super Star, but they all still have multiple uses and the 6 friends with their own distinct play-styles make them 6 times as fun!
Definitely different and simpler than Sakurai's games (which will always be my favorites), but Shimomura's will always have a big place in my heart too.
>>340688085
Why not just inject it yourself?
>>340687751
>he didn't like mixing and matching with the animal buddies
Fucking pleb.
>>340688326
Can't be bothered to hack my 3DS.
Plus I usually pay for games in series I like anyway.
>>340687982
Something magical about these older blocky games that we can't get back.
>>340688435
We don't all have to like things the same, let's try to respect each others preferences.
>>340688479
The art style is really beautiful honestly, It's sort of like a minimalistic 3D style. To me the graphics don't even look bad, they look beautiful to me; normal even. It's something about the fact that they utilize round shapes as much as possible in this game. That boss, which is just a drawing, also utilizes the 2D drawing in a 3D world before paper Mario even does, which is interesting. The round bright colors just remind me of my childhood, I can see the limitations if I look for a while, like Adeleine's brush. The graphics other than that look unique, and I truly do love. Also, that n64 font that the game over screen is written in! So nostalgic.
>>340689146
I totally agree. The vast majority of Kirby games have a great aesthetic, but Kirby 64's really stands out as artistically beautiful to me.
>>340687901
>Second phase starts

>mfw Robobot's second boss
I actually had to use an item during the fight, totally took me by surprise. Really nice throwbacks during the fight too.
>>340691676
Endgame in Robobot is fucking gorgeous. Almost surprises me that a 3DS game can look this good. And just wait till you get to the final boss.
Trust me on this: crank up the 3D to max when you get to the final boss, they do some really cool shit.
>>340691674
Really? I can't seem to use ESP properly. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Mike is by far my favorite, I love it, but Cutter is a close second. Revving up the buzzsaw and just obliteration everything is super satisfying.
>>340692187
Pretty much the third example in this video.

>>340695913I was never a big fan of them, or any kind of fan, but I liked watching their videos every now and then, it was comfy and they had good chemistry. Watching it now, the new guy doesn't have any chemistry with Egoraptor, and they always seem like they're tired and bored. Rarely I miss watching them for the casual banter and cutesy affection they had for each other.

I hope you're right about that, I'm sick of all these cute characters making an appearance and then disappearing beyond the occasional cameo. Also I want the clean ability from the GCN Kirby game, it looked like the moveset might have been expanded.
>>340700581
I want Kirby GCN in general, that game is a complete enigma. Maybe an iso will leak in a decade or two, many cancelled games tend to pop up on the internet somehow.

>>340701347
Again, I hope you're right. It seems really unlikely though, I've been hoping for a Super Mario 64 beta leak for years now & more footage only just surfaced a year ago, Kirby GCN hasn't even had any form of footage surface about it in who knows how long, it seems like we've only had that trailer & some images. I wish they at least showed off the game more, like it looked real fun even if it wasn't in a complete state. Who was even the director for this project anyways? I know it eventually got turned into Return to Dream Land and Kumazaki handled that but I don't think he was there Directing in the Gamecube days.
>>340701210
Me too. Seeing the Helper system again with 3 helpers made me to really look forward for Kirby GCN. Oh, and Clean.
I'm not dissapointed with RTDL, but everything that got shown in this trailer was amazing for me. I wish they could revive it.

Just started playing Kirby 3D Rumble and its totally a tech demo for a 3D kirby game. Plays well in my opinion.
>>340703280
I agree it plays well but I wonder how they're gonna implement whole expansive levels & copy abilities into it if they go further with it, it seems like it will be a difficult task for them.
>>340702235
The 64DD version of Mario 64 surfaced very recently iirc, maybe a beta build is just around the corner.
>>340703097
My sentiment exactly. I love Return to Dream Land, but GCN looks really different and like a lot of fun.
>>340703280
I agree it plays well but I don't know, it feels more like a good isometric 2600 game than what I imagine Kirby playing as in 3D. Detailed living world, controllable camera, Mario Air Ride City Trial style movement, open level design that encourages exploration, Mario 64 style movement, z-targeting for inhale and spit.
>>340703823
>Mario Air Ride
I was going to say "Mario 64" until I thought Air Ride would be easier to communicate with you.
>>340703280
Probably the big thing that would be tricky would be the power inputs.
Though they could probably try taking it in DMC/Bayonetta style direction of inputs.
Also how they would need to deal with Kirby's flying to keep it from breaking the maps.
>>340704116
Same way they did in Kirby 64.
man, i'm hoping i'll get the game tomorrow
>>340704116
>>340703823
>>340703643
Upon further review, it plays more like a Beta to a new 3D Kirby. Entirely bare-bones gameplay elements turned into a score-based minigame. Good approach?
>tfw just beat Robobot
Holy mother of fuck.
That was better than Triple Deluxe in every way and that was already 9/10 material.
>that fucking final boss
I THOUGHT THEY COULD NEVER TOP SECTONIA BUT THEY FUCKING DID IT
HOW DO THEY DO IT /v/
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>340704412
If that game was like an e-shop title full of all kinds of crazy puzzles, perilous maps, and obstacle courses, yeah that'd be pretty great!
>>340704607
Kumazaki has really found his groove with this game, I like it more than Triple Deluxe too.
>>340704747
Well, they did do expanded versions of Drum Dash and The Fighters so maybe we can look forward to a 3D Rumble Deluxe to further test the waters.
>>340705128
They did the same kind of thing with Captain Toad.

Pirated the game when it leaked, but I'm gonna go buy Robobot when the FUCKING GAMESTOPs open up later today. Game's too good to justify pirating.
>>340706201
Is Kabula hard for you? Keep in mind that spamming your attack has higher DPS than charging the missile. Only charge the missle when you have no way of hitting her. If you get good enough at the fight, you can beat Kabs before the guitar solo kicks in.
>>340706475
It's all right anon, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
>>340706172
If Keroro can make it in, I'm hoping Kirby gets in soon
>>340707391
Oh you bastard.
>>340707561
Perhaps DDD can go too and ride one of the HR-D3's that are around there
So Ultra Sword, Hyper Nova, or Robobot for Kirby's Final Smash in 5mash?
>>340708497
Bring back Cook.
>>340708497
Sword's one of, if not the most iconic of Kirby's Copy Abilities, so a powered-up version fits him like a glove.
if he had hands, that is.
>>340699216
Why I feel that this pic is a crop?
>>340708497
I have always thought of the Love-Love Stick as Kirby's defining weapon. It fits his style and his character so perfectly and personally, and I love how he uses it casually in Super Star Stacker too.
Fly around the screen swinging it around, each swing produces a heart-star projectile. I think it would be great in Smash Bros.
>>340708497
>>340709456
Honestly we just need there to be different Final Smashes to pick from per character.

>>340709745
I would love nothing more than that and every character having Ryu style inputs for their special moves.
Also custom moves being actual different moves instead of slight alterations.It's a shame none of this will ever happen.

Honestly I though Cook was better than Ultra Sword simply because it fit Kirby's theme of eating absolutely everything.
>>340716659
Seriously, fuck that guy. dunno what were the developers thinking when they mad him.At least he goes back to the foreground after every back ground attack in Kirby Clash so he's easier to hit

>>340717595
Have you ever made a game before?
>>340718862
No, but it wouldn't hurt to try
goodnight, thread
I wish bosses in Robobot had more HP or something. I know they have a ton of interesting and varied attacks but they all melt so fast that they might as well just roll over and die by themselves. Only boss that lasted longer than a sneeze was the final one.
This is my favorite thread. I love you op
>>340716519
Nah I mean the general tone of the world they live in and the way the characters are presented, its trying way to hard to be "epic" and "hype" and stuff now, it's like they have no idea what subtlety and modesty are anymore. Kirby is great for being simple and digestible on the surface, but rich and thoughtful underneath, now I'm scared it's going to be more like "flashy and big on the surface, and empty underneath" now
>>340720994
That's all kumazaki right now.
Robobot is one of my favorite games. I had triple deluxe already but I got bored of it here and there, but when that thread popped up with the robobot game being leaked I decided to beat triple deluxe before I went into robobot. I enjoyed robobot 30x more than triple deluxe. The soundtrack is one of the best I heard, loud locomotive 1 & 2, laser lab, city of sound, factory inspection remix, sea city.. Etc. in triple deluxe they all sounded painfully generic and way too bubbly. The only good song is sullied grace. The areas were meh too compared to robobots. It was all unique and really well done, I really really liked the vibe you get from the stages, they robotisized everything. The mech itself controlled beautifully. It was perfect, and flows into the stage so damn good and had a purpose. Unlike hypernova which really just felt like a chore, you were just sucking up big things in that section, that's it. I remember they got a little creative near the end but it was just garbage. And meta knights revenge I went through and beat it in an hour on my first try, still didn't do dedede.
>>340721657
Robobot's Sky tower remix fits so damn well in that game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNW4CynBFdc
>>340685841
I kinda understand why they leave it out. Much of kirby likens to giving you the right powers at the right time (rock for slopes, wheel for water surfaces, fire for igniting ropes, etc). Even then, mixing powers really just makes more powers which could be edible in the first place.
The problem is: the more interesting the power, the harder it is to let go. It's supposed to be a fluid experience where you constantly change styles. If you've got a refrigerator but have to give it up to cut a rope, you suddenly have to ditch something that took you two specific enemies to get.
There's some wiggle room where maybe sword and fire, giving you flame sword, could be used for both cutting and igniting obstacles in the same area; that'd make for a neat game theme if it was all combo based.
>>340721657
This game might convince me to get a job this summer..I'd feel bad pirating a kirby game

I'm the same person you replied to and I'd buy it if I had a good life with money to spend, but I'm trapped in my moms basement with no internet for the past month because they can't pay it, and I'm using her phone while she sleeps. I have a ton of games on my 3ds, it's so perfect, but I'm so fucking bored of it. I crave internet so fucking bad. I need to get a job and fucking leave this house so bad but I can't find one and I always flunk the interview because of their stupid questions. Well I only did one. ALL I DID THE PAST MONTH IS STARE AT THE GROUND, THE CEILING, MASTURBATE, PLAY A GAME. It fucking sucks so much
>>340723906
I feel you there so much.
Tel me about Robobot!
Does it run at constant 60fps with 3D on New 3DS?
On Old 3DS the framerate drops like crazy with 3D on but the game is so fucking pretty and 3D off on a 3DS XL makes everything so blurry that i glady traded the framerate for 3D
It's always the same people in these threads, isn't it?

I agree the first phase is much more fun to fight, but the moment the reality warping and kaleidoscope backgrounds come into play you can't help but be in awe.
>>340730753
I meant the music, it's really triumphant.
Now I'm done with Story Mode, what should I do first, The Arena or Meta Knightmare?
>>340717298
This. Ultra Sword isn't exactly bad but I'm hard pressed to think of reasons why they changed it when it had already been perfected in Brawl.
>>340731428
The Arena, since Meta Knightmare has all the EX bosses in it.
>>340731940
Oh right, I forgot about the EX bosses, good thinking. Arena it is.
>>340731098
Yeah, the music is fucking amazing too. It's much more triumphant and proper boss-like since it incorporates both this game's main theme and the series theme. Really gets you pumped.

Was anyone else impressed by the little things this game had to offer? I)'ll admit the game really got me after that Jet section where you blow every miniboss into smithereens, where you ascend with cannon barrels and you have the choice to go into the next portal - or you can ascend in this area further up where you will not only find a sticker, but also a secret entrance behind the star (tl;dr the Smash Bros room)

I beat the game over a month ago & just realized that.

Also explains why Jet was added back.

>>340749860
K64 has more content you could add to it. DL3's fine as-is.
>>340716659
Nah. The only thing you need to do for 100% is just to complete the challenges. Doesn't matter what medal you get.
>>340749860
Kirby 64 due to the gameplay, as much as I would love to see Dream Land 3 they'd never be able to replicate the art style unless they went full-blown 2D and even then at that point it might as well stay a port as opposed to a remake.
Can we talk about Ishikawa and Ando's styles when they make music?
Ando made most of the songs that have the Haltmann theme and the Robobot theme, along with remixing a bunch of music from the older games. He also made the main theme and final boss themes.
Meanwhile, Ishikawa made most of the original pieces of this game (Casino, Purple Lab, Town Area, etc.) He also handled most of the Meta Knightmare music and the boss fight music with Dark Matter, Sectonia, and Galacta Knight.
Who do you like overall? My preference is Ishikawa, but they're both legends in my book.
>>340750183
Ishikawa is always the OG, I was surprised at how experimental he got in World 6 (after the first level, anyways)
Ando's remixes are pretty good, but I prefer Ishikawa
Mainline Kirby game with Shogo Sakai music fucking when though
>>340750183
>oh shit waddle dee!
Just bought Robobot. What kind of ride am I in for /v/?
>>340750183
I'm not really good when it comes to knowledge on music but I guess I prefer Ishikawa, has more of a Kirby feel to his songs & can even do cool ones like Galacta Knight's theme like you mentioned. I will say both Ishikawa & Ando seem to work together well when working on the games.

I feel stupid now, I never even thought about who composed the original songs in Rainbow Curse and just realized it was him. I guess I should've figured that out based on how the songs sounded alone, he stands out way more when compared to Ishikawa & Ando.
Anyways, I adore the Rocket songs, glad there were 3 variations of it. Here's my overall favorite original song in that game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPGcmmtnpM0
Neat to also read Megumi Ohara's first game as a composer is Rainbow Curse, no idea what she did specifically but she has potential it seems based on the overall OST of the game & if she's under the guidance of Shogo.

This game is fucking amazing
>>340754639
>Melee version used
Really makes up for Triple Deluxe using the abomination that isAir Ride's version of Fountain of Dreams
Is saving in this game automatic or is there a save menu?
>>340752810Now you must get all of the kirby games
>>340682883The Kirby games are one of the only games to still be great, they do both experimental games & traditional games so their fans aren't left hanging for too long when it comes to both traditional & new gameplay styles so rehashing as hard like New Super Mario Bros. isn't as common.Nintendo has also messed with their other IPs a little too hard, as a Paper Mario fan I'm still pissy about the direction it's going & reading the interviews behind is maddening.Metroid fans also have it annoying, Other M was a flop & while I'm not too bothered by it as a fan Federation Force is definitely bad timing for it to be made so it's understandable why people are mad.I never really played the games but on the Star Fox Zero side of things it seems people dislike the controls mostly since it to feel gimmicky (gimmicky in the bad sense) & poor, I've also seen complaints on the Gyrowing & how a lot of it is in All-Range mode for bosses.Then there's the other things like Amiibo blocking content, Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival being a thing, Mario Party changed up their gameplay making it not fun for older players, some are split on Super Mario 3D World Vs. the 3D Star collecting games.Overall, while I'm not gonna say all they're making is shit, lately they've been making way too many games that make people split when it comes to their popular series, especially ones that haven't received a "good" game in a long period of time. People also are hoping for a new traditional game in their series so sales are compared.Also there's just people who like to shitpost.
tl:dr Too many games causing split opinions on their games which also allow shitposting to be made.

Kirby is nearly always autosaves.
>>340755250
Autosaves
Damn, this thread has been up for a long time.
Awesome thread OP
best kirby game?
>>340755570
Still Super Star/Ultra
Planet Robobot has managed to take 2nd place for a lot of people though.
at 96% on Robobot so far. Need to collect about 3 more generic stickers, praying to the RNG gods that I'll get them soon. Still have to beat True Arena, as well, that shit is hard.
The game has been a blast and way better than I expected, I just wish there was a "True Campaign" mode where you play through the campaign again with True Arena version bosses and have all the enemies become a lot stronger so that you can make the most out of the pretty big movesets of a lot of the copy abilities.
>>340755291The controls in Star Fox Zero are perfectly fine, they just upset people who are triggered by motion/gyro controls and are a low-hanging fruit for shitposting, along with the game's length and graphics fidelity.
Is it bad that Icried a little during Triple Deluxe's ending?
>>340755291
Thank the lord HAL are the ones in charge of Kirby, it explains why Kirby hasn't stagnated or gone too far away from what it's supposed to be and only has one game that isn't at least great
>>340754058
Yo-yo has been my favorite since day 1, I used to not like Leaf also but realized how invincible it was in Triple Deluxe so I started using it for fun to cheese things, then I found the Up+B & Down+B attack to be really satisfying to use in general, like trying using the Down+B on the3 Dedede clonesin Robobot, hitting them all at once is really fun. Also holding down B in Triple Deluxe when the boss is transitioning to it's next phase really chips away their health fast.
>>340755819
>along with the game's length
But that's a legitimate complaint, there were not nearly enough full levels in the game.
It's the one big thing I really hope they can improve on in a sequel.If it even gets a sequel.
>>340755291
I honestly think this was a result of the Wii U just not being worth the effort to them since 2015. From 2013-2014 we had REALLY great Wii U games
- 3D World (I loved it, bite me)
- Smash 4
- MARIO KART 8!!! (and MK8 DLC)
- Beyonetta 2
- Wonderful 101
- Hyrule Warriors
- DONKEY KONG COUNTRY TROPICAL FREEZE!!!
I honestly believe they have been putting all of their effort in the NX, but time will tell.

Nice. The Robot is is a lot more fun than I thought. GIANT LASER SWORD CUTTERS!
>>340723618
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror
>>340755838
No. Is it bad that I cry during the credits of Milky Way Wishes. Mostly because of overwhelming nostalgia. I mean come one, listen to this:

>>340755838
Nah, Triple Deluxe is a sad game
>>340755819
I am not a Star Fox fan, but I wanted to try Zero out so Idownloaded a copyand tried it out for a solid 4 hours. I didn't really enjoy it, I never managed to get a good grip on the controls. I felt very overwhelmed and everything felt very clunky. I was going into it very optimistically, too, I think people have an irrational hatred towards gyro controls, but in certain places I think they are so obviously superior. (ie Splatoon.)
Maybe I have to give it another shot, it might just not be my thing.
>>340756128
I know the hype over it has died down so much, but Mario Kart 8 was fucking godly. Aside from the battle mode and the unimaginative character roster, that game is perfect. I'm looking forward to whatever Mario Kart 9 has to offer, because 8 delivered with beautiful renditions of old stages, and brilliantly designed new tracks.I liked 3D World, too. It's fun with friends and completing everything is a worthy challenge.
>>340755838
>>340756287
Just wait until you guys read Haltmann's biosAnd Soul OS's bios
>>340755819Like I said, their latest games make people split, someone streamed to me & others the whole Star Fox Zero game a few times & did not like the motion/gyro controls at all, except for the Landmaster, he liked the Landmaster right away.
>>340756128I liked 3D World as well Anon, I do prefer the other 3D games more though due to how they control & the level design is much different. I disliked 3D Land though, found it real boring.
>>340756269
Milky Way Wishes really makes you feel accomplished due to how the credits are & the music that accompanies it so it makes a lot of sense that you would cry to it.
>>340755819
Zero didn't have Area 6 and Macbeth and is very short on railshooting, still find it a shit successor to SF64
>>340755819
every other WiiU had a broad amount of control options, why can't Star Fox Zero? there's a reason why 643D had good reviews among the idiot journos; the remake gave you the option to turn off the gyro.
just imagine playing Ace Combat with these controls.ton of people compare the entire situation to KI:U, but really the situation is more similar to Other M's "no nunchuck" excuse.
>>340749860
Kirby 64, Dream Land 3 still holds up fine like most SNES games, Kirby 64 could use a few physics tweaks, some added content, and widescreen would work well with the camera style.
>>340682883
>entry level and popular name (who doesn't know Kirby that is at least familiar with video games in general?) but not too popular where there needs to be a new game every 4 months
>hasn't been tainted by SJW's (is that even possible with Kirby?)
>simple but stylistic design
>variety among the games (each has it's own feel in the objectives)
>each game tries something new, but always feel fresh and is usually a cool gimmick
>main games and spin-off games are separated fairly
>content in there for people that want something harder (True Arena, Extra Modes, etc.).
>overall excellent music, even if they remix a lot of tracks
It's just a great series, as long as HAL is in charge. Kirby is like a good friend that never changes, so when other games are getting you down you can always rely on Kirby to cheer you up.
>>340756128
I couldn't get into 3D world at all. Champion Road was a nice addition but then it started to feel like a chore when I found out I have to complete every stage getting the flag post using all characters. I enjoy what the game had to give, but it's not my favorite Mario game.But Tropical Freeze is GOAT. Final Boss was a great callback to classic to Kaptain K. Rool.

I agree, Microsoft conference can do some really cool shit. Just wish they didn't royally fucked up that conference.

The final EX stage really got to me man. This game is so good.

Holy shit, thank you so much anon.I want to hug you if I could.

OP here, thanks for making this a good thread, /v/. It's been a while for me.
>>340755838
I got a bit emotional after Dream Land 3 since I was really stressed out in life when I played it. It was also during that time when video games started going downhill and there were zero games I was looking forward to or cared about in the slightest. It's good to give older games a chance.

Quick, before the thread dies, post your favorite Kirby song.

I forgot what game the melody is originally from, but whenever it's remixed I get really happy.

Something about this song is so magical to me. It embodies the kind of atmosphere I love in Kirby games.

See ya guys in the next Kirby thread. I hope the next game garner this much excitement and hype.
