Whether it was open or linear was a bit ambiguous with the first trailer, but as more trailers came out it became more obvious it was more akin to 3D World. Especially when we got better views of the map which turned out to be a level selection screen.

Also neat, turns out Kirby has the equivalent of Odyssey's secret coin piles in the game.

I was wondering about this as well.

Only thing I can vouch for is the Shiren game that's also on the eshop being real good, but I wouldn't mind having even more MD on my Switch.

No one mentions that the oled had a metal chassis which helps it feel better and more solid. I just hate how the back of the old switch looked after you had it for a few months and the coating in the back has worn off leaving it looking kinda greasy.

My launch Switch started cracking and I treated it really well. Especially near the cartridge slot, there was a huge crack in the plastic. I bought a replacement shell on Amazon for like $10 and it was almost completely indistinguishable from a real shell except it actually felt a little less greasy and it had a much more matte feel than the stock one. So that is always an option.

Also I think I gave a list the other day of games I thought really stood out on the OLED Switch but I never mentioned Crusin Blast. I had only ever played it on my original Switch and goddamn it feels like you're playing a PS5 game portably. Everything just pops like crazy (especially if you use vivid mode in the system settings which I love, even though I typically usually hate settings like that on a TV) and the newer speakers are just insane.

Play it at full blast, and it actually sounds like the cars are right next to you. I kind of dismissed the new speakers gimmick because at first they didn't sound any louder than the original Switch speakers but now I totally get it. I remember thinking HD rumble was going to be a gimmick and now the Switch is the only console I've ever had where I turn rumble on all the time.

The glass screen makes a huge difference too, even though I usually prefer matte or even plastic screens (less likely to get damaged). I even put on a screen protector perfectly but removed it because the glass feels and looks so much nicer and to coat it with plastic felt stupid. I am taking a huge risk in it getting scratched though which sucks.

What's considered the best combo all around? The site is a little confusing.

Also is there a best vehicle for Crusin Blast? I keep choosing the level 5 motorcycle that has almost everything maxed but I keep getting my rear end kicked on hard mode. I tried the unicorn and did better, even though the unicorn has worse stats? Anyway what's considered the best vehicle in that one too if anyone knows?

Not very surprising there's less copy abilities for Kirby's first 3D outing. Kinda lame they include sleep & crash as two of the abilities though.

At least Kirby has a gun now.

Select your usual character and car type, press search and it will show you what builds are better. Typically anything heavy, I use a heavy mii. One of the metas is waluigi on wiggler.

Sleep is now an on demand heal. Deep Sleep heals more. Basically it’s the upgraded Squeak Squad version of Sleep, only you can choose when Kirby can sleep after getting the ability.

We’ve seen a mini Bonkers in a few screenshots. It’s a shame that we’re down a bunch of abilities, but the ability evolutions look like they significantly change most abilities - we’ve seen Crash turn into a time freeze ability.

Most importants stats are mini-turbo (which is hidden) and speed, followed by acceleration and weight (so you don't get knocked off course).

-Waluigi is moderately speedy & heavy and in the same class as Roy and DK, but he has a smaller hitbox, so he's a meta pick. They're also heavy characters that provide a mini-turbo boost. Metal Mario/Pink Gold Peach also boost mini-turbo w/ a smaller hitbox but they lose speed and gain more weight
-Rollers/Azure Rollers maximize mini-turbo so everyone uses them, buttons/leaf tires if you want less turbo but a bit more speed
-Biddy-Buggy/Scooty has lower speed but the boost to mini-turbo more than makes up for it, use Wiggler ATV if you want more balance between mini-turbo and speed (also it might be easier to turn compared to others in its class like Silver Arrow/Flame Rider/Standard Bike?)
-Paper Glider/Parachute/Flower/Cloud Glider provide a boost to mini-turbo, most use paper glider because it's the easiest to see out of

Chocobo is pretty good. It's a bit harder than Pokemon since there's more dungeons that reset your level, but I think the design is tighter and the different classes are a fun addition.

Shiren is in my opinion the best Mystery Dungeon series so I'd give that a look too, although it's definitely the most roguelike-y and least rpg-ish of the various mystery dungeon games.
