[@KidsBuildingClub]

Man, now Arlo _really_ needs to play the 3DS Kirby games now that we know he likes playing as characters that have a core moveset at all times

[@ErikTheCleric]

When he started talking about how much magolor epilogue clicked with him my brain immediately shifted to dedede-tour and meta knightmare, those two characters are a blast to play as and the level design of triple deluxe and planet robobot definitely help

[@SilverLining1]

​@@ErikTheCleric Well, I hope he can get over the timer like in helper to hero. That it bothered him before was really silly. Normally you ignore the timer knowing that it's literally only for speedrunning, which you can get drawn into on subsequent playthroughs. The time on the first playthrough is either a novelty or a baseline. Perhaps he'll discover how silly of a complaint it is while playing those modes!

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Boy, Arlo's really letting that _Pikmin 4_ review cook all the way through, huh? Well, nothing like some classic style Kirby goodness in the meantime. I'm glad Arlo and his nephew had fun with it.

“this game left me tickled pink” are the words you were looking for, Arlo

[@Diego13303]

I'm so happy to see Kirby being redeemed in Arlo's eyes. I hope you're able to try the 3DS games someday! Those two are considered some of the best in the series. It'd be interesting to see you return to Star Allies after that as well, since they're considered a quadrilogy of sorts

[@RacingSnails64]

I'd also suggest Superstar Ultra, Epic Yarn, and Air Ride if he can get his hands on it.

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

Robobot is great and star allies is crap

[@Matanumi]

Lets not forget amazing mirror

[@AsecasJavi]

He was just wrong cause he played star allies and that's a fanservice game, not a newcomer game

[@JLMetak]

​@AsecasJavi Any mainline game in this series should be (and has been) a good game for newcomers. Star Allies is just the one dud in a series of great (but not OMG GENRE DEFINING) games and none of the fanservice slapped onto it can redeem that. It's still an okay game, but it should have been so much more than that.

[@Gala_KM]

Glad that Arlo got around to trying this one. Star Allies really isn't a great starting point to the franchise. Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot are two games that expand more on Return to Dream Land's formula, would recommend.

[@diabeticman2194]

I second this, especially in regards to Planet Robobot; that game is a masterpiece, and my favourite Kirby game in the series

[@kingrobotnik6950]

There is such a pureness to him saying what his favorite abilities were. Protect him Arlo. We need more good ones out there. Btw, my fav from this and the original was Ninja too lol

[@mayday2237]

the entry gimmicks got stronger across this trilogy, The super abilities were limited but flashy and occasionally compelling, the super inhale in triple deluxe felt like it was always the most fun version of the Super abilities each time. And then the mechs in planet robobot ended up being an AMAZING core gameplay addition that takes the flash from the previous two and makes it a genuinely deep extension to Kirby's abilities

[@blakeintechnicolor]

Arlo's nephew appreciating the buttery smooth framerate and lack of lag gives me hope for humanity

[@cragl3yman343]

Arlo: "But BOY it does make me sad that there isn't more Kirby content like THIS out there." Oh you sweet summer child. You just haven't played enough Kirby to know that there's TONS of game modes where you don't have to play as Kirby.. eespecially on the 3DS titles...

He said "prologue" instead of "epilogue". It was a funny edit to acknowledge his mess up. I didn't get it at first either! 😅

[@Marshadow01]

While I do also like the masks, I wish we got to play as the actual characters the masks are based off of in magoland, being able to play as Daroach while smacking a bomb with a frying pan whilst aiming at Adeleine is a funny image in my mind that I wish we could’ve gotten

[@DaNintendude]

Yeah, absolutely. The masks definitely allowed for a lot more variety without taking up dev time, but unlockable bonus characters would've been sweet. Honestly they could probably make a standalone Magoland game that has even more minigames, more characters, and maybe a party mode, and that'd be a great $20 eShop game.

[@ThatRender]

If they remake the rest of this Kirby Trilogy, I can guarantee that you’ll love it. Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot are unforgettable! Also, if the unchanging copy ability mode was your favorite, then your in luck, since both games have their own modes like this!

Planet Robobot and Triple Deluxe also have post game modes where you play as a single character for the entire game. If you like Magolor Epilogue, those modes provide a similar feeling

[@elizabethw.6154]

That sneak flash at 17:48 was hilarious 😂

[@djroscurro9859]

5:39 Forgotten Land DOES have something like this. Star Allies too. Every main Kirby game has some harder post game content, this idea starting out in Super Star Ultra Also the point about Return to dreamland's level design could come from the fact that this IS a remaster of the Wii version, an older Kirby game that's the first of its kind.

[@Antasma1]

17:18 monkey jump scare. I haven’t played this game since the Wii version and didn’t finish it for whatever reason, but I loved it

[@SupremeMarioGamer]

The things Arlo doesn't like about Kirby is having to learn the strengths/weakness of the copy abilities & losing them when taking damage? The damage thing can feel random, losing abilities sometimes but not others, but learning the movesets in a game that can be beaten without using a single one seems like a small ask of the player.

[@cragl3yman343]

I've learned to appreciate each and every ability. Sure some are better than others, but like there's so many possible ways to take each challenge on and it's always fair.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

You mentioned the problem. "learning the movesets in a game that can be beaten without using a single one" Why spend the time/effort, especially since when learning you get hit hence losing it hence discourages learning. It is the same thing with why some people take issue with durability systems. It discourages learning and experimentation because you either can't afford to lose it or it is so common it isn't worth trying to learn.

[@SupremeMarioGamer]

@@Buglin_Burger7878 You do realize that (a) the abilities are plentiful & have complete movesets on the pause menu, (b) enemies respawn by moving away slightly from their spawn, (c) it's not difficult to regain your lost ability thanks to a generous amount of invincibility frames after getting hit, & (d) Arlo criticized the lack of challenge yet thinks balancing abilities & not getting hit in freaking KIRBY too much hassle.

[@InkyMuste]

Kinda funny how the things he mentioned disliking are pretty much what makes a kirby game, having to adapt to situations on the fly when you lose an ability and floating with the lovable pink ball.

[@roulette43]

You sold the Magolor portion of the game so well I want to get it purely just for that. I've always been interested in the epilogue, but this is the first time I've actually seen gameplay of it. It LOOKS as satisfying as it sounds, and the gameplay loop is right up my alley. As soon as you said you'd want to play an entire Magolor spinoff I was immediately nodding in agreement, and I'm sad it doesn't exist now lmao

[@ToxicPea]

Say, did you ever get to buying the game? I hope you really enjoyed it!

[@roulette43]

@@ToxicPea I didn't, unfortunately! Life and finances got in the way, but it's always stayed on my radar. Maybe some day!

[@ToxicPea]

@@roulette43 well, in any case, I hope your financial situation improves in the next few years as you continue to work hard 💪 If I were you, I’d definitely watch out for the next Kirby game, as it may incorporate more elements from Magolor Epilogue than you may be expecting. HAL - the developers of the series - tend to utilize the minigames and side games they create as experimental stepping stones for their future projects. For example, Forgotten Land’s 3d engine was first tested in a minigame of 2016’s Kirby: Planet Robobot. Further 3d platforming and combat experiences were tested in 2017’s Kirby: Battle Royale, Blowout Blast, and 2018’s Kirby: Star Allies. It is highly probable that we see a reintegration of a more advanced skill tree and combo system into a new mainline Kirby game’s side mode, or a side game structured around those concepts 👀 👏

[@roulette43]

@@ToxicPea This is fantastic to hear!! I'm really hoping that's the case, thank you :D It's been so long since I've played a Kirby game, maybe the next one will finally be time. I'll look forward to it!

[@ToxicPea]

@@roulette43 🫡 😊 Oh and, maybe you’ll see me around again on KZbin when that next game comes. Maybe.

[@catdatwat9743]

While the criticism of Kirby games forcing you to change copy abilities is valid, I’d recommend you try and complete stages without doing the copy ability that the stage sometimes pushes you to change to. You’ll see that the stages actually offer a unique perspective when you attempt to complete it with a different copy ability. While Kirby games do require you to change copy abilities sometimes for collectables, most of the time, the game wants you to experience different abilities and see how they interact with different stages.

[@KevinTheTimeGeek86]

I don't watch a lot of your vids, Arlo, but I decided to watch this one as I'm a _big_ Kirby fan since literally the very beginning. As a fellow uncle, I found it heartwarming that you asked your nephew for his insight on the game, too. My nephew is a year older than yours, and he discovered the wonders of Kirby this past Christmas when his parents got him "Forgotten Land" for his Switch. It made me a _very_ proud uncle, and I look forward to sharing the rest of the series with him. Keep up the great work, man!

[@Neon_Plasma]

Yes please to the idea of Magolor having his own game. I'd kill for that since he's my favorite Kirby character.

[@AlphTime]

I think you should keep the puns at the beginning of your reviews. They’re iconic!

[@probablyaurora]

Arlo is slowly becoming a Kirby master. The gameplay is pretty good.

[@omegasoup4164]

As someone with a 7 year old brother who is very into Kirby, hearing your nephew’s thoughts on the game made my day! Unfortunately the arena is going to be easy with just about any copy ability once you know how the bosses work. There is, however, a MUCH more difficult and (in my opinion) more interesting boss rush waiting for you after you beat extra mode!

[@gorvinnethermore2900]

Can’t wait to watch a review for a game I already completed and loved

[@captainseg]

I remember playing this game back on the Wii with my sibling many years ago. Seeing it get a remaster was bringing ALL of those wonderful memories back. We still got long ways to go to 100% the main game, True Arena, and Extra Mode. Sadly, adult life is an issue

[@BJGvideos]

Oh are you playing the new one with your sibling too?

[@captainseg]

@BJGvideos Yeah. We both loved Kirby's Return to Dreamland on the Wii. Sadly they work in the afternoon and I work in the evening, plus with College in the morning has made it tough to find a time to continue playing

[@ChamAramis]

Arlo teaching about spoiler safety makes me want to convert to Arloism.

[@SegaDisneyUniverse]

As someone who played the original 12 years ago, I can say that this remaster was incredibly good in my opinion. From the graphical improvements to the extra modes, it was super fun and very replayable. Especially when it comes to the boss rush modes, I'm very big into those challenges when it comes to Kirby games. The True Arena definitely caught me by surprise on how challenging it was (before I discovered that King Dedede is absolutely busted in this game. Now my personal best time is currently 15:00!) I wasn't expecting to fight all the alternate bosses, on top of the DX versions! And there's just one small gripe I have about one of my favorite copy abilities in the Kirby series; the Hammer ability. In my opinion, I hate that you have to charge the Hammer Flip move now in order to maximize damage instead of it being automatic like in the older games. Don't know if they did that to nerf the move, but it can be a little annoying to use against certain enemies at times. I've noticed that it's been a trend since Star Allies (but in Star Allies HF was pretty useless anyway since you could just spam Hammer Throw without losing your ability). Other than that, I really loved this remaster, and I only hope that Nintendo either ports Triple Deluxe or Planet Robobot.

[@RacingSnails64]

This game has--and I cannot stress this enough--AMAZING MUSIC.

[@amateraceon5202]

Honestly, I'm surprised they've managed to go this entire year since RtDL DX without announcing or releasing a new Kirby game, only rereleasing old ones for NSO, but also I feel like they're just going to announce another one in the September Direct, and so the Kirby will ride simply never end

[@NovaMaster375]

I wouldn't be surprised if they save the next big Kirby release for the Switch's successor

[@SilverLining1]

Unpopular opinion, but I needed a break from kirby to have time to play other games. They did so much during the anniversary that kirby had a monopoly on my time. Now I'm able to enjoy other franchises like adventures of lolo, also by HAL. That's right; for a bit HAL was so productive I couldn't play other HAL games

[@DizzyPunch]

The lack of an intro pun actually bummed me out a bit. I don't even like puns, but it's a nice, fun tradition to have in the reviews; just a bit sad 😅

[@zelatoth]

While I do enjoy Arlo his almost addictive like obsession with games being hard is where I will never see eye to eye with him. I'm fine with a challenge, I've got all the achievements in Elden Ring but I'm not constantly wanting a challenge. Sometimes I just want to breeze though a game.

[@CursioNeptune]

Your nephew sounds really awesome. I have many nephews & nieces of my own. But one of my older nephew play video games as much as I do and they shown me some games that I had little interest or even seen on screen. Thanks to them. I got into a game that I fully enjoy and couldn't be any happier with my kids. Also Arlo. You should give Triple Deluxe & Planet Robobot an try. If you enjoy Forgotten Land & Return to Dreamland Deluxe, than you'll enjoy Triple Deluxe & Planet Robobot.

[@TheJadeFist]

This talk about the problems of the copy ability, is something that Forgotten Land really fixed. You can level up your copy abilities, and even change the way they function. Something that would be greatly appreciated in a future Kirby game, gives you a sense of progress. Maybe getting gold or platinum medals in the challenges could offer an upgrade to the copy ability it's testing. Stuff like that.

Its great how beating a Kirby game makes you feel like a SUPERSTAR! Ok I'll stop.... psych IN YOUR DREAMS! I'm your worst NIGHTMARE, somebody with infinite puns! Seriously though glad you had fun with classic Kirby games. A lot of the older games will have the same core mechanics of swapping abilities and the air puff thing, but if you can look past that I would recommend Planet Robbo bot, Kirby 64, and Super star saga deluxe. Imo those are the peak of 2D Kirby games.

I wasn’t as young as your nephew is when the original came out, let alone when I got the game for myself, but hearing him talk about it made the fact that kids are going to be growing up with this remaster like how I grew up with the original really hit home, and it’s just such a nice feeling. The game was something me and my brother would play almost every day for a while when we got home from school and it helped me form a lot of important memories, so it just makes me feel happy to know that the game is going to be a part of the lives of more people.

[@VileKnight4]

I honestly really want to see an entire kirby game of just minigames. It wouldn't have to be like mario party or anything, just a nice little minigame collection. It would probably be $15 to $20 and have 15 to 20 minigames with a mix of old and new and some missions to give some insensitive to play.

I have a lot of respect for you, since you didn't just say you didn't like Star Allies, but you also explained why it doesn't work for you. I don't worry if a game is too easy, I look for fun. But the way you explained it, I can see why Star Allies just didn't click. If I were to make a suggestion... Maybe Kirby's Epic Yarn might be a little more up your speed? Forgive me if you have played it because I am still very new to your videos! But the fact Kirby has a very distinct moveset in that game, the fact you seem to enjoy exploring levels, it just might work. While you can't die, it is as hard as you make it to be. Although the mini games might get on your nerves, it's optional so there's that!

I wasn't sold on the outlines either, but my personal theory is that they're done like that because one of the only issues I found with the original Wii game was when you have 4 people playing, it can be easy to lose track of your specific location or get too clumped up with the others, so the outlines can help a lot in that regard.

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

23:09 "At least it didn't suck!" "I guess it really was deluxe!"

[@TruExtentChannel]

"But boy, it does make me sad that there isn't more Kirby content out like [Magalor Epilogue] out there .... But if more past or future games offer up experiences like this, consider me interested." Well boy, howdy do I got good news for you! Past Kirby games have been including bonus modes starring another character in the game! Usually it's a Time Attack with non-canon story bits, enhanced bosses and new bosses like Galacta Knight. I don't recall any having the indepth upgrade system like Magalor got but you do get the one non changing moveset. Let me break it down for ya: Meta Knightmare: Time Attack through all of Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland's levels in one go as Meta Knight! Meta Knightmare Ultra: Time Attack through all Kirby Super Star Ultra games COMBINED into one massive run as Meta Knight! Dededetour!: Time Attack through all of Kirby: Triple Deluxe in one go as King Dedede! Meta Knightmare Returns: Time Attack through all of Kirby: Planet Robobot as Meta Knight! Also special shout out to Kirby Mass Attack and its extra games being completely different genres yet still being fairly fleshed out despite just being side content. You get pinball, a shmup, and a mini-RPG like experience focused on battles alongside the smaller stuff.

[@swordandpenguin8983]

My only real disappointment with this game as a remake of the original is there are just a couple little bits of content that they could have included to make it the truly definitive version that aren't there. There's a minigame in the Wii version where you fight some mech versions of classic Kirby bosses by shooting at them with the pointer, and I remember having fun with that one. Especially with how many minigames are in Deluxe, it's strange that one from RtDL Wii isn't there. There are also some extra ability challenges as a bonus in the Kirby Dream Collection, including some pretty neat races against Magolor. With those using the RtDL mechanics and aesthetic, it would've been nice to see them wrapped into the remake since they always sort of felt like honorary parts of the game.

my favorite youtuber covering my favorite videogame!! happy day!! yeah, if the copy ability cycling and floating in 2D are a hassle then it might not be worth pushing through too too much of the 2D library. if you were to do one more, it might be worth hitting the ~fan favorite~ planet robobot for its exceptional mech ability twist, different aesthetic, fantastic story/music and honestly maybe even the bonus mode! im not sure how much better meta knightmare or dedede tour would hit compared to guest star mode, but theyre nice multi-hour experiences all with one character truly I do wonder if 2D could become a style for experimentation going forward. dont count out the idea of side character games with new mechanics, this might be a bowsers fury moment where they want to test how we like magolor.. prologue!

Oh yeah, that's true that if the copy ability cycling and floating are a hassle for him, it might not be too worth pushing through for him, though I do want to see him try out Kirby Planet Robobot, as I think that one is really, really good. I agree that if Arlo were to try one more 2D Kirby, that it might be worth it for him to try out Planet Robobot. Also, I like the Kyoko profile icon. Madoka Magica is my favorite anime.

Enjoyed this game a lot! Good job on the review! Liked the edit at 17:47 lol.

[@thegreygoblin5165]

17:47 did..did anyone see the Orangutan with the saw?

[@jelliotc]

Deeply appreciated the professional help brought in towards the end of the video. Should definitely call him in for future reviews.

[@eeveeongirl]

Your nephew sounds so precious, so glad you brought in the expert for his professional opinion on all things kirby.

I am once again here defending Star Allies. Anyone who wanted to enjoy but felt that it didn't have enough, needs to go back and play it after all was released. It was a really great Kirby game.

[@masonmurphy5402]

The story mode is the only thing that is underwhelming in comparison to the all of the modern kirby games. All the content after that is stellar. Soul Melter Ex Solo No Ability was so much fun to master

[@Sir_Psych]

​@@masonmurphy5402you're triggering my anxiety mentioning it!

[@thomaskuzma4360]

18:10 There isn't enough Kiby content What!? Like this out there oh.

[@BraigenT]

Cool review! By the way, both 3DS Kirby games have extra modes where you play as one character with a more set moveset, Dedede for Triple Deluxe and Meta Knight for Planet Robobot. Can't remember if they're post game only, but they seem like they'd be up your alley with how you liked Magolor Epilogue

[@ethannutter8982]

The last few minutes of this was the most pure thing I've seen in a while

[@me8751]

That orangutan sawing away at that log warmed my heart. ☺️🪚🪵🐵

[@LucasDanielCab5]

That Kirby pun had me cackling for hours, you should do stand-up comedy

[@SheepFreak2]

23:15 even thou kirby can inhale alot. This game doesnt suck

[@Kerollynn]

This game is my childhood so I am glad it got a full remaster
