It was hard to set aside my nostalgia, but I think I'm ready to call this the best Kirby game ever made. It's better than Super Star, maybe not in every way, but overall.

God drat if that final boss isn't the high point of the entire series.

You can but it puts a little amiibo icon next to your time to remind you of your shameful deeds.

That's an incredibly cool touch.

My favorite thing about Kirby lore is how little any of it has to do with Kirby.

Wow, Ice gives you an infinite guard with no chip damage. Is that new? Suddenly Ice is an awesome choice for True Arena.

I love that Kirby of all series is one where you can have a serious discussion about invincibility frames and DPS. Like you've got fighting games, the Dark Souls series, and then also Kirby.

Ever since Super Star, there's always been a bit of a fighting game ethos to the way Kirby is designed. The Super Star team would go on to make Super Smash Bros, and the DNA of the two series' has been intertwined ever since.

Actually, speaking of that first one does that mean that Max also had to defeat Dark Matter and Queen Sectonia in single combat? Is that a requirement for all their presidents/CEOs?

What do you think the golden mech suit was for?
