This took around 3 hours 19 minutes to beat. Very easy game. An actual good game on the system though, which is rare. This is the bad ending since I didnt collect the extra items. I try to avoid collecting in games. One of the reasons I dont like ALOT of N64 games is because they were often focused around collecting instead of tight platforming gameplay. Alot of the series felt like a step down in gameplay from thier 2D versions on the SNES, as well as a step down in the cleaner 2D visuals. Many also felt much slower and sluggish than previous entries. Bomberman and Yoshi were some examples of that. This game is atleast equal if not better than some of the other 2D kirby games , so that is an improvement. This game has 3D visuals but plays on a 2D plane like the old games. It feels a little slower but has some very nice improvements like being able to combine powers for 30 plus combinations (from what I read). There is less powers initially as a result, but when you combine them you can make alot of variations. I didnt know how to do this at first, but find out later in my playthrough. Once you suck up a power you have to press one of the bumper buttons to hold the star. Once held you press the suck button to throw that star at an enemy with a power you want to combine with. This makes a bigger super star. Inhale and press down to then take the combined power. Aside from that this game is too easy for me to do a commentary tutorial on.

Deaths edited out.

Stay tuned !!
