Kirby – one of the most famous faces (with tiny arms and legs included) in the Nintendo star cast – has left players in awe with his impressive abilities and sheer versatility. for almost 30 years now. Created by Smash Bros. owner Masahiro Sakurai, who in pink has built up a very impressive library of games across multiple genres since the launch of the Game Boy in 1992, Kirby’s Dreamland.
In fact, Kirby and his portfolio represent a strange dichotomy. He’s a super-accessible platformer, ready to engage beginners and young gamers with his captivatingly repetitive adventures, but he’s also (and it is perhaps fitting that he is the product of a company called HAL Labs) the subject of many frenzied game experiments; a guinea pig for new game mechanics and ideas. Kirby is the most boring video game and The most interesting character. Perhaps such adaptability is to be expected from an individual who can literally transform at will and adopt the characteristics of literally anyone or anything he comes into contact with.

Kirby Battle Royale falls into the “B” or “C-list” release category. While the main games in the 3DS series offer creativity, clever design, and rich content, this game falls short in every way. It’s not a bad game, but it is trivial. For families and small game enthusiasts who can get into local multiplayer, there will be some fun, but the repetitive Story Mode and sparse online servers will do the trick. lose the enthusiasm of anyone else. Kirby may have plenty of his iconic abilities here, but his copy-paste approach and limited minigames mean this doesn’t come close to the quality and fun of other games. of the mascot.
Free release based on Team Kirby Clash mode in Kirby: Planet Robot, Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is a neat-start free-to-play multiplayer experience that combines that mode’s action-RPG with peer-to-peer F2P mechanics (e.g. battle limits and Gem Apples as currency). It also used the 3DS’s Streetpass feature – oh how we missed it! – This allows Kirby of friends passing by to join you in battle.

Expands on the original Kirby Fighters mini-game from Kirby: Deluxe Triple Room with team battles, boss fights, collectible cosplay, and several new levels, Kirby Fighters Deluxe It’s both a worthwhile upgrade and a great game in its own right. The lack of online play is a disappointment, but it’s something worth looking out for; Local multiplayer is a great time, and the simple controls, helpful handicaps, and Play Download make it accessible to all.

An upgraded version of the free-to-start Kirby game, Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Super Kirby Clash holds true to the standard of the series with its impressively diverse boss roster, simple RPG-lite mechanics, and profound replayability potential. Online multiplayer is unstable and unreliable, but as a free release, Super Kirby Clash handles its monetization smartly and doesn’t restrict too much, giving you a huge amount of money. Content that is timed relative to how much you feel like is paying. There’s very little reason not to give this one a try if it passes you by.

Another standalone update of a mode from the previous game, Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe is a hit for fans of rhythm games; Short but very sweet, it delivers the great tunes, clever chords, and tons of Kirby brand charm. It’s also an excellent expansion of the original mini-game, with all new levels and lots of cool gameplay tweaks. Anyone looking for a new experience in the background of music should be on the hunt for this one. It’s Dedede-gentle.

A stand-alone version of the Kirby 3D Rumble spin-off from Planet Robobot, Kirby’s Blowout Blast returning to the ‘Dream Land root’ series despite the addition of a third dimension. Blowout Blast looks nice, the controls are good, and it’s easy to pick, play, and replay. It’s also just a bit too simplistic in its construction, and could benefit from some surprises to spice things up in the main levels. Younger players will likely have a blast, and there’s still plenty of Kirby’s love for finishers, but anyone who’s not entirely disappointed with the score-hunting factor may find the experience This is decreasing.

If you like falling block puzzle games, then Kirby’s Star Stacker is one of the interesting things. The Round Clear mode gives you a fixed number of levels to play through, after which you’ll be left with attempts to score high, like most puzzle players. It featured a Japanese-exclusive Super Famicom remake very late in the life of that system, although it never made it to the West as the primary market for SNES games disappeared in 1998. Having said that, it’s quite interesting.

However, it’s hard to go too far with Puyo Puyo, and this one has Kirby in it. Scored!

A first round of Kirby’s Block Ball lasts about three hours – it will take most players longer to get past each world’s benchmark high and unlock the final world – and has replay value found in the scoring feature. Classic game of Overate and Kirby’s delightful presentation, music and unique power come together well, even if there may be too much waiting and hope in the afterlife. However, Block Ball is a good piece of entertainment.

Released in 2000 in Japan and the following year in North America, this GBC spinoff version never made it to PAL. The cartridge includes a tilt sensor that allows you to control Kirby by rolling him around the levels, guiding him to the target. Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a fun Kirby curio and worth playing if you can follow it.
Make sure you’re playing it in a regular GBC or GBA, though – the accelerometer doesn’t like being held backwards in a GBA SP, and you won’t plug it far into the Game Boy Player either.
