The main theme in the beach area has these trumpets in it and every time I hear them I can't help but think of the music from the opening stage of Mega Man 8.

Some upgrades really give some new life to the abilities. Sword felt super watered down and Gigant Sword just felt like a less good hammer with a shield but just got the Meta Knight Sword and it's now the best ability in the game. Hope there's more upgrades like this. Speaking of the Meta Knight fight was pretty cool. Maybe i'm just easily impressed but Kirby in 3D feels fresh and exciting. I'm enjoying the game a lot.

I haven’t gotten that far yet but out of curiosity how do they compensate for the fact you have a lot more room to dodge his attacks than you would in a 2D plane (I assume he has more long ranged attacks now or something)? Also how do you unlock new blueprints in this game?

Later on bosses start having more range on their attacks and will actually move up to you, limiting how much you can kite them. Also some of them fill up the arena with attacks. Blueprints are essentially another collectible in levels. The Wise Waddle Dee will tell you if you've missed any. The tier 3 abilities in general are nuts. It kind of explains why abilityless is better early-game, cause it just outclasses tier 1 abilities when it comes to boss fights, but the later upgrades get abilities to outclass star bullets again. Normal Kirby can't be upgraded, so Star Bullets just end up ahead of the curve at the beginning of the game.

It compensates for that by being very easy but looking cool. But also he has a lot of sword beams and good tracking with his attacks. You start getting blueprints halfway through world 2. They're just another collectible.

Many bosses from what I’ve seen have pretty big sweeping attacks and can get on top of you super quickly.

King Dedede putting in a solid audition for becoming a final boss again  motherfucker got up and snuck around the results screen, low blow bro.Vv I get you, but Dedede hasn’t been a villain for a long time and has become explicitly heroic in most of his appearances. What would he even wind up doing? Hell I’d sooner believe Metaknight trying to conquer Popstar again before I’d believe Dedede did something antagonistic.

To be honest I’d kind of like a mainline Kirby game that went fully back to basics (no eldritch horrors, no otherworldly invaders, just Dedede starting poo poo of his own free will), we haven’t had one of those since the very first game

Mainline, at this point Dedede is an outright hero unless they did a reboot. Him being an rear end in a top hat in Star Allies and repeating the plot of Dreamland 1 was met with confusion from Kirby on what was happening because by that point, it was out of character for him to do. And immediately after Dreamland 1 he tried dealing with Nightmare for Popstar’s greater good, but indulged in bathing in the fountain of dreams, which got Kirby on his rear end.

I'm assuming there's a few more in the town, because after you beat the game you can find THANKYOUMETAKNIGHT by the arena. But mostly it's just waiting for posts from Nintendo's social media I guess.

Larryb posted:Fair enough There's one I found inside the movie theater, the bottom right on the bookshelf, KIRBYSTORY. So far all I've gotten from them have been star coins, rare stones, or some combo of the two. I think the KIRBYNEWSDESK code from the announcements gives you an energy drink item you can keep in your stock, which is the only other code reward I've seen. It's a little disappointing since I'm playing on Wild Mode and am kind of showered in star coins that the code rewards aren't particularly substantial, but then again I don't know what else they could give as rewards in this game, and it does at least mean people with no online/people in the distant future playing this game won't really miss out on anything super important or cool.

I don’t know if it’s total or per world like in the 3DS Kirbys so I can’t say. Also I was wondering why the Sleep ability upgrade was locked off so late. I just got my answer, good lord!

Six worlds, each has four stages and a boss except for the last world which has five stages and a boss, plus a final world with three bosses. There's a motion sensor-based marble maze minigame, a fishing minigame, and the Waddle Dee diner minigame. I haven't touched the latter two tbh. And there's the arena, with what I'm thinking are three tiers of difficulty. There is an extra mode in the postgame. It's remixed portions of different stages in each world, ending in a remixed boss fight for that world. Without going into too much LORE detail it's typical hard mode bosses from the one I've done so far - the boss had updated moves or additional properties to previous moves (multiple stomps in the first phase, 2nd phase spinning attack was shorter but shot out tornados that then also launched boulders off in different directions). What really surprised me is minibosses aren't exempt from this, so expect new patterns from Bonkers and the like. The Waddle Dee requirement was really low for the last boss gate. Pretty sure it was 30 or 40-something.

I strove to collect every one up until the last world because I wanted to get to the end, but I think it might be per world given that it's so low. In fact, since you brought it up now that I think about it more the last world might've even been in the mid 20s. Sorry I can't provide a clearer answer on this one lol

Also counting upgrades what would you say is the best Copy Ability in the game in terms of raw power/usefulness?

But then again Dedede isn’t really much of a major threat anymore when he’s not under mind control so that’s probably not going to be the case again

A couple of things I found out that other people may not know. First, from watching someone's stream yesterday, I learned that you can display the gacha figures in your house. You go to the collection screen, and press the + button to display it in the house, you can display three at a time and they appear over the fireplace. Second, it looks like I unlocked a picture of Kirby and Elfilin working at the cafe, I'm not sure what exactly unlocks it, it would either be succeeding at all three levels of the minigame, or beating the hardest difficulty. I'm thinking it might be beating all three, because you already get a special gacha figure for beating the hardest difficulty.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:The weirder part is that it is (or was, Star Allies might've overtaken it) the most successful Kirby game since the very first one on Game Boy, purely due to being in the right place at the right time (ie the DS right as that and NSMB were heating up), Star Allies felt close to good, IMO. It just gave you a hilariously expansive toolbox, then gave you levels and puzzles way too easy for it. If any Kirby game deserves a Kaizo style hack, it's Star Allies, because you could probably get some intense puzzles and mean level design with the sheer level of options that game gives you.

Finished the main game and it's final boss is the coolest in the series probably next to star dream. Also the kirby standard was there since the very first game- they're all literally connected in some ways (though I could believe they weren't meant to at first, retroactively they all slot together)
