Kinda disappointed in this. KDL3 is a game full of odd design choices and unbalanced levels with a lot of filler in them (non-challenging areas as well as plain dead space). One of the game's more interesting aspects - collecting 'heart stars' to unlock an alternate end boss and some mini-games - is made tedious by points of no return and a rigid system for switching animals (they're needed to fulfil the objective in most levels, unlocking the item at the end), forcing the player to replay a level even though he/she already knows what to do. Another unique feature, a blue blob which mimics Kirby's every move, messes up the camera too much to be useful in 1-player mode. On the other hand, boss fights are good and the game looks and sounds great.
