This game is a masterpiece and needs more love. I finally got around to playing it in 2016 and was just blown away. Not only is it the best Kirby spinoff, I would even say it might be my favorite Kirby related game, even better then the main games.
There's just so much creativity in every level, and many of the mini-games are some of the best in the series. Plus when going for 100%, it's a very challenging game that really test your skills, more then any other Kirby game. Seriously, even people who aren't Kirby fans should give it a try since it's so unique, they might actually enjoy it.
