Meta Knight is Shadow and Galacta Knight is Mephiles. Dark Meta Knight is Eclipse the Darkling from the Archie Comics

If there's a Knuckles it's Dedede

Knuckles. Not an anti-hero, more of some neutral player off doing their own thing.

^ Or that. That sounds a lot more informed than my off-the-cuff comment.

I've never been that into Kirby 'cept for the NES game, so I might take this chance to catch up. Unless there's a game that you guys know should be really entertaining to watch live?

IMO you should give the series a second look. I did a couple years back after only ever having owned Canvas Curse, and only having played Superstar as a rental back when the SNES was current, and I was kinda stunned by how much fun they are. It is a goddamn solid series of good-to-great games.

I remember thinking that the SNES games looked like fun, so I will probably check them out at some point. They're not doing Dream course today, though.

Kirby Planet Robobot came out last month and it's my new favorite entry into the series, I highly recommend it if you're out of the Kirby loop. It sounds crazy but it's genuinely a contender for my favorite game this year so far.

this just made me more confused but I do appreciate the in-depth answer

I played very little Kirby because I grew up with the Genesis and then jumped to Playstation, plus when I got...access to SNES games I just played RPGs a lot.

I need a refresher--if any Kirby picks up the Master sword in the final battle, ALL Kirbys have to use it, right? I'm pretty sure that's why the other dude just stood around doing nothing, because one guy using UFO is faster than two dudes with the sword, but I'm not totally clear on it.

Yeah this, I played Amazing Mirror co-op at a convention once after wanting to do so for like a decade and then I only was able to play it for like 5 minutes because it's THAT bad. As well, I think it's only players 2-4 who suffer lag and I think it's also only when you're not on the same screen as everyone else.

Kind of makes me wonder how 4 player in Nightmare in Dreamland plays then.

I've never seen Air Ride before, and I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I think it was something... better than this?

There's the PSN/XBLA Castlevania game, though it's got a more constrained map in each level than most of these games.

It's also a bad and extremely grindy game.

Air Ride's main race mode is kind of mediocre, the fun really lied in City Trial. Speaking of which, watch this TAS of it later

That said I'm enjoying this run. Dude's good at explaining it and it's visually entertaining.

Which is a loving bummer, because the premise of a multiplayer Castletroid with a bunch of unique player characters to suit every player's ideal gameplay (SOTN-likes, Belmonts, Shanoa, etc) is one of the best ideas for a game there has ever been.

I feel like this run could be improved by taking out the music and most of the sound effects, and maybe replacing kirby with, say, rayman, what do y'all think?

e: oh yeah and quadrupling its length

I don't want to think about a horribly realistic Kirby human riding a bike with motion-capped bike gyrations
