Kirby Super Star reviewed

This review is going to be a bit different than all the other video games that I reviewed. All those other game reviews only had one game to play and playing just one game is for the weak. This game however has 9! And 6 of those are real and complete games while the rest are just fun mini-games. So what I am going to do is review each and every game, even the mini-games cause trying to do a review in the normal style is just going to be a mess. So without further delay, let's dig into Kirby Super Star and all of the games therein.

The first game is Spring Breeze. Spring Breeze is just your normal Kirby game where you go right, eat things to gain their rich, tasty powers and finally beat up King DeDeDe because he stole everybody's food. It's a normal Kirby game, actually it's a remake of the first game with better graphics and color cause the first game was for the Game Boy. The point is that this game is your normal Kirby game that's reasonably fun but nothing more than that. 7/10

The second game is Dynablade. It's pretty much Spring Breeze in every way. I mean you are fighting this huge pseudo-mechanical bird instead of King DeDeDe and there's a map that you can move around, backtrack and find a couple secret levels. But other than that it's pretty much another Kirby game and while it's reasonably fun, it's not as fun as Spring Breeze. 6/10

The third game is Gourmet Race where it's promoted and treated like a real game but really isn't. It's a glorified mini-game where you race King DeDeDe cause he wants to prove his superiority again but without violence because DeDeDe knows he will never win in a fight against Kirby so a race is the next best thing. Anyways, you race him and you eat more food than him for about 15 minutes and, if you don't suck, you'll win. It's lucky that this doesn't overstay it's welcome. 5/10

The fourth game is The Great Cave Offensive. Now this game doesn't follow the Kirby formula because the main objective for this game is to get 60 pieces of treasure. There's no King DeDeDe, no racing, no pseudo-mechanical birds to kill it's all about treasure. Well and killing a whale, a Witch Doctor with rock hands and a RPG-style fight. Yes, there's a boss where it has it's own HP, it's turn-based, there's windows showcasing what's going on and you get status updates when you win, fun ones not the ones that mattered. Anyways, this game is pretty good with a loving history in the treasures and a compulsive fun to it. 8/10

The fifth game is Metaknight's Revenge. This game is as awesome as your mind is able to comprehend the whole concept of awesomeness. Metaknight has unleashed his warship, The Halberd, into Dreamland to end its reign of laziness. Kirby doesn't like that so he goes and basically destroys The Halberd with nothing but his bare hands! This game is balls-to-the-walls action that even has a running commentary between the Halberd crew in fear over Kirby's destructive ways! I wish there was a movie made out of this or a bigger game cause this is awesome. 10/10

The sixth game is Milky Way Wishes. This game is almost as awesome as Metaknight's Revenge where the Sun and Moon of Popstar are fighting. Then this guy named Marx finds and asks Kirby to activate Nova by finding the stars of all the planets in the Galaxy and wishing the fight to end. So you do so like a normal Kirby game but this time, you don't absorb the enemies rich, tasty powers. You have to find icons of powers but you do have these powers forever. Also, the map is open-ended so you can go to any planets in any order even though there is a real order you're supposed to do things in. Then at the end, it transfers to a Gradius-esque shoot-em-up and it's pretty awesome. 9/10

The mini-games are short but fun and they won't be rated. The mini-games are Samurai Kirby, Megaton Punch and The Arena. Samurai Kirby is a reflex game where you samurai versions of you and your enemies are waiting for the signal to attack, like a quick-draw shootout in a Western. Megaton Punch is more of a timing game where you punch a crack in Popstar while competing with some opponents. The Arena is a boss-rush, killing all the bosses you met all over again.

I do wish that a few of the games were expanded and released as stand-alone games like The Great Cave Offensive, Metaknight's Revenge and Milky Way Wishes. As it is though, at worst the games are mildly amusing and at best, it's the most awesome thing ever. On the whole, it's a nice, pleasant Kirby game that should please any Kirby fans.

7/10
