Wow. Like, wow. I expected me to love this game but not as much as I ended up loving it. First of all, this game is gorgeous and one of the best looking game on the 3DS or at least for the cartoony atmosphere it was trying to create. The new abilities are all great and fun as hell and they took out all the abilities that weren't that fun. The whole campaign is just filled with variety and all levels are memorable. The bosses are creative and some of the most fun bosses I've ever fought. On top of that, the "Kirby Fighter" mini-game is surprisingly addicting and was the cause for hours and hours of fun with friends. The plot isn't very important but does give some twists and turns. But, the key word is fun so if you're looking for a challenging game, this isn't for you. But, as far as "for fun" platformers go, this is one of the best despite not having co-op campaign. It doesn't hold the nostalgia of Super Star Ultra, but it brings just as much to the table plus more.
