Is Kirby Super Star Stacker Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk

[@benbriggsmusic]

ngl I was NOT ready for a perfect major chord during the intro

[@CebolaBros]

Small correction: The japanese Nintendo Power actually has nothing to do with the magazine. It was like the FDS disks where you'd bring a blank cart to a store with a kiosk and for a fee you could write games to it

[@violetto3219]

it wouldn't be Nintendo without confusing nomenclature

[@Kwyjor]

I was just going to say that. Another prominent game released through the service was Wrecking Crew '98.

[@ChibiKami]

the SNES remaster of the NES VN Metal Slader Glory was also released via the Nintendo Power flashcart

[@Salvidrim]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@DJKennethA]

Honestly starting my day with a cup of coffee and a new SNES drunk video is one of my favorite things. I've found so many really cool games I missed thanks to your channel

[@tonypatterson1419]

I found snes drunk at the beginning of the summer and have watched every episode. Today I came to this episode not realizing that I was nearing the end. Now there is nothing left to binge. Thanks for the vids!

[@glowingfish]

I have a life hack: I always watch your videos right after midnight so that your wishes for "a great rest of my day" last the longest! :)

[@davidt3563]

Oh god that music at the beginning almost drove me crazy!

[@babbarossa3467]

I would love to see an episode about that motorcycle racing game "GP-1" I had. Love your channel! Greetings from Germany

[@DiRF]

This was one of the best surprises when I started exploring translated romhacks. Aside from Tetris, most puzzle games were only mildly interesting to me, but this one grabbed me immediately. I was hooked playing it for a long time.

[@gameman250]

1:58 - Pffft! XD Nice shout out to Greg the Bunny.

[@vix_in_japan]

Absolutely worth it! This is one of my prized possessions on the Super Famicom that I picked up boxed. I love it on the GameBoy as well.

[@The16bithero]

I was today years old when I found it that this game exists. I'm really happy that there's still so much to play from that era

[@ultimateman55]

Your upload schedule is perfect for me. I get to work early, sit down to eat my breakfast, and check to see if there's a new SNES drunk for me to watch while I eat : )

[@hagakuretv]

Yoooo, can you make a weirdest snes commercials poll? I think it's insane how crazy some TV commercials were. For example the FF3 commercial with the moogle is hilarious. I especially think of the Secret of Evermore commercial (you can watch it on youtube)! The dogs metamorphosis, the obscure music and the freakin game flying around haha. Imagine you are 12 years old and it's 1995 and this ad runs on your parents TV 😂

[@Pridetoons]

SNES Drunk in the Morning. I love getting off work to watch a SNES Drunk video. 😌

[@tykuecks9349]

Something about the harmony of this intro hit different, well done

[@sukmykrok3388]

Greg the Bunny, lol! You think that was gonna get away from me? Great reference, lmfao!!!

[@PaunchoSmithPNGTuber]

A Greg the Bunny reference in 2023 wasn't what I was expecting to wake up to today but here we are.

[@justincredibad7069]

The Game Boy version claimed many hours of my childhood. Great puzzle game

[@alizardincrimson]

Didn't expect a Greg The Bunny reference in 2023.

[@ChopzDrake75]

You are my new ANGRY VIDEO NERD!! I fall asleep on your material. Love your channel.

[@Justforvisit]

No mention of "Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball" has been made in this video about the cutest pink puffy powerhouse that Kirby is.

[@ajokay]

I opened up the SNES app, saw whatever this was, clicked my way through via the first option of every menu, and then ended up having a thoroughly good time and almost getting 1000 points on my first (what I now know was an) endless run. Definitely going to be playing this one again!

[@jota9000]

dude i dont get your notifications and i dont know why, by the way great channel :), greetings from chile :)

[@hagakuretv]

Can't wait for a dedicated Treasure Hunter G or Treasure of the Rudras video. The good thing is that snes drunk still can cover a ton of games. Also I like the take on the GBA games because the GBA vibe feels so much like playing SNES

[@evilblader7]

I want to "bounty sword" video ☹️ And yes... GBA is like mini SNES to me 😊

[@mechajesus948]

So helpful to have a reference for the menus. Thank you!

[@chevon5707]

Especially good intro jingle 💛

[@sulgrave_]

Really nice work on the intro vocals this week. CSNY next time?

[@gamalielshapira]

I always appreciated that Nintendo and HAL went the route of sketched artwork when everyone else was trying to do 3d pre-rendered realism. Later Yoshi games would not have nearly as much personality if Yoshi’s Island went the DKC pre-rendered 3d route.

[@jclkaytwo]

yoshi's story, the second yoshi game, went the pre-rendered DKC route

[@gamalielshapira]

@@jclkaytwo Though using pre-rendered assets, the settings themselves are still fanciful, with cardboard, fabric and embroidery, rather than a "realistic" setting such as DKC. Looking at screenshots of Yoshi Story just a few minutes ago, it makes me think that Kirby's Epic Yarn was also fairly heavily influenced from Yoshi Story.

[@edgarmarcano4421]

Greg the bunny reference in 2023? Heck yeah!

[@Segaguide97]

Awesome video! Great info

[@reillywalker195]

My first round of this game lasted over 40 minutes, and that's despite me having spent the first 5 or so of those minutes learning how to play it and nearly getting a game over. I definitely recommend it to people who like puzzle games.

[@Pyrodiac]

Short, Sweet, Simple, and to the point, a perfect review!

[@jclkaytwo]

you did not just pronounce dedede like that 💀 anyway, really fun game! I was pleasantly surprised when I played this on switch online. thank you so much for the menu guide, now I know what the heck each mode is.

[@mattb6522]

Good review! I love falling block puzzle games and I love Kirby, so will definitely need to check it out! The art looks like that same coloring-book style from Kirby's Dreamland 3 and it does really look great! It is too bad this never made it to North America on its original release, but glad we can play it now!

[@jeffersonderrickson5371]

Wasn't Greg the Bunny a Bobcat Goldthwait as a puppet show?

[@ReaverPrime]

Never played this one, but seeing it definitely reminded me of Super Puzzle Fighter. I absolutely LOVED that game. I played it religiously on PS1 for years. Then I played it for some more years when it released on GBA. Then even more when it came to PSN. If Star Stacker is really like Puzzle Fighter, then I may have to check it out. If not, then at least it will motivate me to revisit Puzzle Fighter. I haven't played it in a few years.

[@MowseChao]

I absolutely loved Kirby's Star Stacker for the Game Boy, so I was quite excited to see this game come to Switch. I never knew about the Story mode though! Thank you for the translation!

[@JohnZyski]

I am glad you explained this. I played it for a few mins, but was confused.

[@dicapriodelorean2888]

honestly one of my fav SNES puzzle games along with tetris attack

[@MidlifeCrisisJoe]

I'm more amazed anyone else remembers Greg the Bunny than that you snuck him in as a reference for a Japanese exclusive puzzle game on the SNES.

[@wg6184]

Thanks for starting the day off with a great video! Have a good week! Bill Chicago

[@insaneasock3156]

Greg the Bunny was a great show. Loved it. Count Aight.....😂

[@toohie]

Pokémon puzzle for the N64 is the best kind of game like this. Amazing music and overall vibes.

[@ColeFam]

I absolutely love The original Star Stacker and this one. Super Star Stacker using the Dreamland 3 artstyle is so perfect. This game is beautiful for what it is.

[@AWMonopolyMan]

Note, Challenge Mode has a hard cap of 9999 Stars meaning once you reach that, the mode ends.

[@thecunninlynguist]

I'm actually surprised they never did release the SNES version stateside. I played the GB version a lot. EDIT: N/M I see why it wasn't released here...lol. Too late of a release, even by NoA standards.

[@XanthinZarda]

I don't think the machismo/3D chase would have allowed it.

[@Zaapiel22]

A Greg the Bunny reference in the wild. Neat.

[@Biospark88]

The crayon-drawn visuals look beautiful

[@Mchenrygames]

Another great review as usual. Will give this one a shot.

[@nicocchi]

Man I love Greg the Bunny, my favorite Kirby character

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

Total length of video: 220 secs. Total length of "SNES Drunk": 2 secs. 1% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk".

[@MetalJody1990]

I sunk so many hours on the GB version. Never knew that a SNES version existed till now.

[@meikaishi]

This game might seem kinda boring at first with how simple it is but if you give it a chance it's a blast to play

[@ManillaHeep]

Sounds like some quality tunes by Jun Ishikawa (Kirby, Alcahest)

[@justion337]

Greg the Bunny was an underrated show!

[@travisshallenberger9486]

"Made one up"! As if I would have forgotten a classic like Greg the Bunny!

[@Davtwan]

Speaking of the Dreamland series, those Dreamland 3 sketch-style graphics seem to have greatly influenced this game!

[@SiincereARC]

I Love how serious you're taking the ridiculous intros. I appreciate the creativity to keep it from going stale or getting annoying but keeping the point of why the intro is the way it is.

[@ScratStitch]

Hoping you cover Quest for Camelot soon.

[@shalpp]

Snesdrunk videos are the best way to kick off my work day Holy shid

[@juliaskalla3979]

Great the bunny was a sitcom by Seth Green

[@flyinghippo5767]

The Gameboy version of this is my favorite puzzle game on the Gameboy. It's so simple and mellow that it's perfect for zoning out to podcasts or the news when you're trying to unwind.

[@tanookijumpman1139]

I'm hoping one day SNESdrunk reviews Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures because man that is one strange game (if you need a few laughs it's definitely a great one to pop in)

[@SNESdrunk]

[@hgc7000]

Wow, a Greg the Bunny shout-out. That's a deep dive right there.

[@chiissu]

One day I was gonna go to bed, but chose to play some GB on my GameCube Player. I Tried Kirby's Star Stacker and thought I'd play a few levels. After clearing the 1st 3 difficulties I figured, I'd finish the last one. So I did 4 levels, then 8, then 16, then 20, Its gotta end soon, right? 28, 32, 36, 40, Is it done? 44, 48, Come on! 50 levels! I was there over 17 hours and my thigh was turning to wood from sitting so long. And there's no saves or level select or passwords. The only way to do it; 1 long marathon. And my prize? A still image of Kirby and his Droogs. But I'm glad I beat it. Its an achievement.

[@Chugalg]

I love this game, but I'm a suckered for action puzzle games and Kirby haha

[@stevesteve0521]

Fun game, not my favorite Kirby spinoff but it is worth playing

[@jobebryant]

Hey SnesDrunk do you emulate everything nowadays? I never saw you as a collection guy

[@neonshadow5005]

It looks cool, I'll give it a try some time soon "anyway I can".

At 2000 points in endless, it plays the masked DeDeDe song in what feels like beta form?

[@TheLakabanzaichrg]

It stacks well against other puzzle games

[@MegaKirbySuperstar]

This is the one puzzle game that I can beat my friend in. He always gets good at puzzle games and beats me, but I still beat him in Star Stacker. Haha

[@jghollowell4]

Bruh… how many TBs of game footage have you amassed during this channel’s existence?

[@SNESdrunk]

I don't keep all of it, that'd be crazy. And I don't record everything, I only get stuff I know I can use

[@JomasterTheSecond]

The Japanese name of this game sure is something. "Kirby's Twinkling Kids".

[@kumquatqueen5975]

Hold up! There was a SNES Star Stackers game?

[@clarafedde8674]

A nice relaxing game. Similar to yoshi, yoshi cookies and Wario woods. Unlike games like tetris 2, pac attack and push...I forgot its name, its an ant that pushes dominoes. Hated that game difficultly.

[@dc9662]

I stopped working the second I heard you say, "Greg The Bunny."

[@Codoloco1]

Im hammered! you should check out metal marines snes! ... oh you did 5 yrs ago

You didn't make up Greg the Bunny. That's a real TV show.

[@goatbone]

2:41 Nintendo's 'answer' to the Sega Channel was their own satellite service, the Satellaview.

[@goatbone]

and Nintendo Power was not a magazine, it was a service that could write games to a flash cart from a kiosk like they had for the Famicom disk system.

[@LanEXHikari]

SnesDrunk does what Nintendon't bother doing which is helping people with some never localised Japan-exclusive titles 😅

[@Martynde]

Its very easy to get matches even if you don't try to do so. you have to intentionally work to not get matches in this game.

[@SobmicSSBB]

Kirby Super Star Stacker is also the first game characters from both Sakurai's games (Kirby's Adventure, Super Star) and the Dark Matter Trilogy (Dreamland 2 and 3) interacted with. Until then it was understood that these were in separate continuities.

[@JaxRetroGamer]

I got addicted to this game recently but it might be my autism
