Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards | The Completionist

[@josue5179]

So nobody’s gonna talk about the description being Enter The Martix? Ok.....

[@evecampbell3069]

I had to go up and look at it. ROFL!

[@chrisdometh8141]

Lol

[@vicctretamaj]

I'm a simple man: I see Kirby I watch the video

[@AnimeMafiaReviews]

Vicctre Tamaj lol for some reason I read that comment in Claude Frollo's voice.

[@BobCentral]

I see your a man of taste as well

[@philviewer9906]

Vicctre Tamaj The description of me.

[@ETHBK]

Same

[@Zkyball]

Me To Bro

[@briantimkennedy357]

Nobody wants dynamic character arcs in Kirby, huh? Just wait till you reach the 3DS games, Beard Bro. Jokes aside, I'm pumped that you're covering K64. I bought it a few months back and love it to bits.

[@mr.whimsic6902]

Jokes?

[@briantimkennedy357]

You're right, it wasn't really a joke.

[@MerelyAFan]

I think the lack of power combinations since 64 is due to HAL going for the Kirby's Superstar path, with the variety coming from the multiple attacks via each copy ability rather than the combined powers each with a single type of attack.

[@NanaKyoto]

You and AntDude would make a beautiful Kirby collab video.

[@TiltCntrlz]

I was thinking the video had a serious lack of AntDude.

[@NanaKyoto]

Menstruation Frustration No.

[@Bradyboy26]

Yes I would love this collab

[@jaxteller6574]

Menstruation Frustration we all have the same idea

[@seant1326]

I see you everywhere.

[@TheWillMan117]

Its so awesome to see how the intro has evolved over the years. It just got more and more badass. I'm not sure how much more awesome you can pack into it.

[@AquaTwist_]

William Phillips maybe Jirard could have a full body transformation for Beard Mode?

[@Nick-kh5xs]

Another secret in the game: If you suck up certain enemies and instead of swallowing them press "R" (In Wii U) You'll hold them over your head and use their unique traits (That one enemy with the umbrella gives you the ability to glide down etc.)

[@CabeliotCometier]

LiterallyNick yea, I used that alot. lots of extra depth with all 50+ enemy hold abilities.

[@SpicyWah]

My favorite thing to do as a kid was inhale the purple glider enemy and hold it above my head and just glide across the level to see how far I could get

[@Nick-kh5xs]

@@SpicyWah it's been 4 years...

[@popo237]

This is the most passive aggressive I have seen the Completionist.

[@probablyafilthyweeb5904]

The Darth Maul lightsaber will always be one of my favourite copy abilities from this game

[@GoddamnILoveBison]

ProbablyAFilthyWeeb Fridge Kirby best Kirby.

[@TVlord5]

ProbablyAFilthyWeeb Exploding ninja stars is the best ability. Super fast, no max range, and they explode.

[@1Thunderfire]

They're also just plain cool. I love the fireworks one for pretty much the same reason.

[@mobgabriel1767]

f*ck rey,kirby is the original yellow saber wielder

[@chunkylad5084]

while I was working at a daycare, one day I thought I'd bring up an n64 emulator on my phone, ALL of the kids wanted to play this game.

[@mastermind5610]

Sorry Jirard, but Adeleine appeared in Kirby's dreamland 3 so the character was used in two games

[@TheOnirayju]

mastermind5610 ado was in Dreamland 3 . It isn't 100% the same character , even if they look SUPER alike

[@niaarchangel]

0nirayju I think the devs confirmed that the two are the same character

[@DataDrain02]

If I recall though, it's PRETTY heavily implied to be the same character. Though, they do look a bit different.... So eh, I guess they could be twins.

[@407gabyr]

I always just figured they were siblings.

[@kylegarrett2429]

That guys name is Ado.

[@bongocatstudios7348]

Right when it said "The Reward" I got an ad that was of Kirby Star Allies

[@DMMegsie]

If you beat boss rush without taking a hit there's a special sprite of kirby with pieces from all the bosses.

[@juliusxeno6537]

Guys I just realized something. Kirby lives on planet pop star. But he is bad at singing. Is Nintendo saying pop stars can't sing?

[@JacobCMayer]

So that's why they tried to sabotage Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

[@diatrigger6636]

Julius Xeno they're probably right.

[@juliusxeno6537]

Trigspro789 I wasn't saying Nintendo was wrong

[@thegamesresearcher]

What you mean Kirby is bad at singing? have you ever played the games? he ALWAYS blasts the audience away with his songs =D

[@alexbiersner3350]

Julius Xeno Illuminati confirmed

[@WolfsbaneGL]

This game will always hold a special place in my heart. It was my very first video game; a Christmas present after my mom noticed me enjoying it so much back when McDonalds still had N64 consoles in (some of) their play areas.

[@crashschwarzen4642]

Do you know what is manly? KIRBY

[@KratosAurionPlays]

1:08 Kirby is underrated. Play them all. 9:24 Right? 11:40 I would.

[@brockmckelvey7327]

Has Jirard played "Kirby and the Rainbow Curse" yet? I really loved that game because it helped me get through a really tough time a few years back.

[@SockisS]

This game was my introduction to the Kirby series, and it's still my favorite of the bunch, much thanks to the combinations!

[@aria_daize9926]

this game was literally my childhood, and the reason i love games in general. I'm so glad you covered this game :)

[@eonnexus]

Honestly speaking, even though this is my favorite Kirby game, I really think you should've done dreamland 3 before this, as I consider crystal shards to be the second half to that game, similar to sonic 3 and sonic & knuckles, especially with ado/Adeline and zero/02

[@gamerchief7740]

YES! ANOTHER VIDEO! I LOVE THE COMPLETIONIST, KEEP IT UP JIRARD! (Also, game mistery solver must become a serie for the channel)

[@ThatOneVideoGamer]

What was your favorite power/power combo from Kirby?

[@thesparky502]

obviously fridge kirby,who doesn't love fridge kirby

[@SuperNicktendoEntertainment]

That One Video Gamer The bomb shurikens from 64 were always my favorite

[@Dragoon1809]

The Shock-Rock from this game.

[@manofreal6068]

Ninja stars

[@arjanzweers6542]

Thunder+Cutter, I loved the double electric lightsaber as a kid. Also shoutout to the amazing Butter Building remix in this game.

[@pistan6413]

"Walking stomach with a face" is a description of Kirby that I've never heard before.

[@Scorpion122178]

If you're on an N64 nostalgia trip can I make a suggestion to complete Turok Dinosaur Hunter? I remember wanting this game so much when I was really little but my mom wouldn't buy it for me because she said it was too violent. But my love of Dinosaurs drove me to convince my grandma who didn't know anything about video games to pick it up for me at Toy's R Us. I got home super excited only to be confused as to why the game wouldn't fit in my Super Nintendo. Then promptly grounded by my mom when she found out I went behind her back and she returned the game. Didn't get a chance to play until years later when I saw it at Blockbuster. Man, nostalgic overload.

[@SuperTeeter64]

Dude. Turok was the shiiiiiit. Great stuff.

[@Scorpion122178]

Seeds of Evil was great bro, it was Wars and 3 that kinda killed the series. Although I liked Evolution alot and the one for 360 while not a real Turok game was also really good.

[@tamerraeb2363]

dude I have that game

[@Anthintendo]

Probably my second favorite Kirby game, next to Planet Robobot.

[@maugos]

Adoline never showed up in any other Kirby game? Guess someone hasn't played Kirby's Dreamland 3. Heck some of the other enemies and bosses first showed up there too. 3 also happens between 2 and 64: The Crystal Shards.

[@itsshelby]

maugos He’s right. 3 is between 2 and 64

[@KazarothGaming]

Technically they're different characters.

[@spiketheguy7091]

Not really. Ado is just a shortening of Adeleine's JP name "Adorenu"

[@wednesday8174]

maugos he said in the beginning that he only played 1 and 2

[@DesignVisStudios]

and rainbow paint brush?

[@juanmendez3290]

play Kirby Squeaky Squad for the DS , it was my very first fully completed game and it has a fair amount of enjoyable playtime,and of course it's kirby

have you seen kirby today sire?

[@Shala_Boi]

Oh my god. I love you

[@SuperNicktendoEntertainment]

Bro what the hell I just replayed the whole game yesterday.

[@C_Raccoon23]

I still have this game. I never got all the crystals for the true ending though.

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

there's a bit of a glitch for the shard you get for beating the snowman mid boss where if you collect the shard and leave at the same time with double fire it erases it from the game but other than that there is absolutely no reason to not complete this game. Do it!

[@Dullsonic3]

Also, the final boss cries blood, in a kirby game!

[@Chickengirl005]

yeah I played this game dozens of times as kid, but never collected all the shards. Of course this was before KZbin where you could look up guides. I did play it on the Virtual Wii, but still never had the desire to collect all the shards to get the true final boss

[@TriforceZard]

Then what are you waiting for?

[@xermy1648]

Fucking do it. It's so freaking worth it to beat this childhood game with the true ending.

[@roddygonzalez2017]

"Whoever designed this, is a sadist." *Distant, muffled raughing*

[@cxx23]

ROR

[@apatheosis8841]

This is the only Kirby game where Kirby has limited floating, meaning that there is an actual element of challange to the platforming.

[@goldensun2787]

Actually Kirby's Air Ride had a limited floating ability

[@javelincheshire6358]

I'm so happy you finally got around to playing this game Jirard. This is my go to Kirby game and one of the prettiest games I've ever played.

[@thundercharged1]

The real reason ability mixing isn't in most Kirby games is because it would be hard to add more abilities. Kirby 64 had only 7 base abilities, and 28 total combinations. Future Kirby games would match the total number of combinations with fully fleshed out abilities. Honestly, I think it's a step up that ability mixing isn't the main focus.

[@SirMexicanYCP]

Not only that, but the abilities in Kirby 64 are way simplified, as each ability (including mixed ones) can only do one attack (Maybe the fridge is more unique in that it can also heal you). In Kirby Super Star/Ultra, and any game that comes after Kirby Return to Dreamland (not counting spin-offs), every ability has an entire move set of its own, not counting abilities with limited quantity of times it can be used, such as Crash, or that are under a time limit (or limited until the level is over), such as the Super Abilities, and Hypernova.

[@Shadrio]

12:39 I couldn't help but think of "You get *nothing*, you *lose*! Good day, sir!" Also, I hope the Switch Kirby game's combo abilities are more involved. I love this game to death (first Kirby game I played, would always rent it from Blockbuster), but after playing Super Star, and the games after Return to Dreamland, the one use abilities in Crystal Shards definitely seem lackluster, especially since how some were pretty ineffective or uninspired (Ice/Fire or Rock/Electric, even if the latter was kind of fun, it was chaotic, to say the least).

You know I love every video you make Jirard. But this one is amazing and so accurate! Just dawned on me your ARE my favorite KZbinr :) Keep doing you my man :D

[@JudeBornfleth]

Just wanted to say Jirard, love your videos, no matter what game. You produce awesome quality content! Best youtube intro ever!!! Please complete Final Fantasy XV for me! Thank yooouu!!!

[@pizza2639]

The mix system is honestly why I love this game so much, that and squeak squad. Kirby games are super fun but the mixing was always awesome to do. Besides that my favorite Kirby games are the ones with co-op... BRING ON THE SWITCH KIRBY!

[@0TanookiSuit0]

If you didn't beat Boss Rush mode without losing any life energy, you didn't get the secret victory screen, and you didn't actually complete the game 100%.

[@blastermaster6793]

Vladimir Putin yesssssssss

[@thegamesresearcher]

Souns a lot like BotW =/ now, being serious, i doubt he would like the game, i think he would not like it either because people love that game instead of Sticker Star and/or Color Splash (which he as a nintendo apologist has to defend from any criticism) OR because the most rabid fanboys would just ruin the experience with their min/maxing "you played the game wrong" attitude...or just because the game would feel too "old/outdated" for him if he has never touched it =/

[@KonbiniTV]

Oh my god! I played this game soooo much as a kid. One of my favorite games

[@ningamer1314]

You forgot to beat Boss Rush mode without taking damage to get a special screen

[@KratosAurionPlays]

Is that actually a thing?

[@kirby1781]

I don't know if that gives you more than one screen, but there is a fusion of Kirby and all the main bosses for one of the Boss Rush screens.

[@geopowered]

I loved that hopping race when I was younger. It's honestly one of two real memories I have of this game. The other is Ice Skating. I loved the Ice Skating power-up combo.

[@williampimentel1124]

[@arielgolani2701]

oh yeah i forgot that you cant really complete them solo...

[@Hawkkiller2]

Can't really complete Pokemon solo, either. If he does ever do the Battle Networks, he'll probably get a guest to help out, just like with Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald.

[@BahuschBahusch]

I just love how happy Kirby looks while destroying enemies with an oversized flaming sword.

[@NykolasN]

You could complete Dream Daddy

[@HyrumLarson]

There are only three dates per Daddy, it wouldn't take that long. Although, I would complete it just to hear all the dialogue.

[@yourmother2040]

"I haven't really died back into the Kirby franchise." Well, then.

[@superslobro]

Can you do The legend of Zelda Wind Waker next?

[@NoamUD]

Amen on the Mix ability. I loved 64 just because of that and hearing that they'll take a similar method with the latest Kirby game has me beyond excited.

[@souit957]

you should try kirby robobot it's the pinacle of kirby games

[@brille77]

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

My favorite Kirby game :) I remember renting this so many times from Movie Gallery. Glad you gave yourself a break this week Jerard.

[@binhomeless1790]

Name a bad Kirby game I'll wait

[@tsukikagenoknight7915]

Dream Course (Golf with way worse controls and more or less actively punishing you for not being perfect), Tilt and Tumble (Fun idea until you realize that the Gameboy only really let you see clearly from a few different angles and tilting to move actually made you lose sight of your game and I did 100% it as a rental), Avalanche (If your bad at those kind of games, like me) and Pinball (Its pinball, the game is random, even with knowledge of how the ball moves, its still a coin toss to get it where you want it to go), all arguably bad games maybe not universally bad, but...

[@D_YellowMadness]

+Tsukikage noknight Also, Dreamland 2, at least if you go for 100% completion. Who thought using the worst abilities of the worst characters in the worst levels for those abilities would be fun? And who thought trial & error autoscrolling rooms would be fun? Squeek Squad sucks too but mostly because it took being easy to such extremes that everything felt pointless.

[@ShinoLia]

Jirard, my dude, you are looking so good! That was the first thing I noticed when the video started. The Buff Bois workouts and all that are definitely paying off!

[@Jeranhound]

The worst part about Kirby 64 is that it requires you to use the N64's d-pad. Which means holding that left prong of the controller you never use.

[@NeoArin]

This game has such great music! It's actually my morning alarm. So much better waking up to happy music!

[@keatonkitsune4064]

I remember getting this from Blockbuster, rented it quite a few times as a kid then ended up picking it up at a used video game store. This brought back some memories, thanks Jirard.

[@joshuajelinski2889]

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror for a future Completionist review?? Loved that game when I was younger, my personal favorite Kirby game and would love to see it completed!

[@BTLuchaos09]

This was my first experience with Kirby and I enjoyed it. Keep up the great work!

[@TheArcSet]

The other thing I'd say, apart from how many power combinations there were, is how complex and empowering they felt. eg. 1xFire: you canon ball forward, engulfed in flame. 2xFire: you charge up and burst across the whole screen as a burning blaze. Fire + Sword: you trail a sword that burns anything behind you (including if you turn), hack away with massive swings (3 times your height) and if you hold the blade above your head, you can burn air-borne foes, before throwing the blade ahead of you as a missile. Fire(maybe Bomb)+Rock: Your dragged forward by a rocket powered drill missile , until you let go and launch it. Ice+Cutter: You zip and slip along, spraying up deadly ice waves as you break, but when you jump, you become a whiling tornado of rising death. Rock+Cutter: You get a random invincible living animal statue, all slow, but some could roll down sloped and the multiple bird types could all fly differently, without Kirby's breath limit. The electric bolder tether shown was also awesome, because while you could launch a massive bolder, the tether also provided a different type of damage. There were so many different powers that altered with each activation, or could be used in different ways, or just included a cool movement or propulsion factor for Kirby; even the powerless foes could be utilised, with shooters still shooting as you held them aloft and different filers providing different ways to float and glide. The creativity, as well as the variety, really made this shine.

[@thalfie]

@That One Video Gamer I don't know if you play any mobile games, but I personally think that Where's My Water, deserves to be an episode. It's a puzzle game where you have to get 20-30 drops of water into a alligator's bathtub, who is named Swampy. Sure, it sounds easy, but around 3/5 of the game being completed, the difficulty spike goes up a bit! There are a total of 18 episodes, each with 20 levels, and those 20 levels have 3 ducks. Fill 5 drops of water and the duck is collected.

[@lucasc.7444]

9:30 Thanks bro, I absolutely needed to be reminded of my lost childhood.

[@rakatika]

First complete it in a while. It's always nice to review a game that's great.

[@skyrevanvalor2128]

Man this is a blast to the past when i was 5 or 6 i had this game on the wii it was hard for me at that time but i completed the main story i loved it. The games i was playing at that time was kirby 64, mario 64, dragon quest monsters joker, Final Fantasy 7 and 12. It was good gameing times back then.

[@ExiledAtheist]

The feeeeelllls, the nostalgic feels. I loved playing this game so much, would rent it every weekend the local family video had it in stock. So many weekends spent playing this game. Can't wait for the new one.

[@BlastoiseBandit]

Man, when i was a kid and my mum surprised my brother and i with this game, i spent hours mixing. It was my favourite thing. I loved being the 'rock-bird'. Ah, nostalgia, you're the best kind of drug!

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

This is actually the first Kirby game I'd ever played, and I honestly enjoyed it. ^_^

[@ethanostrowski4725]

Can't help but say "Yes!" during the intro every time I watch one of these.

[@Jehezukiel]

OMG THE SEGMENT TRANSITION IN 60FPS.. I love you~

[@Necromagenvi0n]

I remember playing the game shortly after its original release. Finished the game and got the bad ending, but I didn't know it was the "bad" one until a few years later when I sat down to replay the game to relieve old memories. This time I collected all of 'em shards. Miracle Matter was harder to beat somehow but then, I was shocked to realize that there was more: the true final boss known as Zero Two (the music of that particular battle, though... that is some intense, melancholic stuff). To sum everything, I simply had no idea that different endings by doing certain actions was a thing.

[@patjenkins3032]

That intro is awesome! It's really grown on me.

[@grovetender4713]

The description talks about Enter the Matrix. You done goofed, Jirard.

[@VerdeMorte]

Seeing that Kirby Air Ride case reminds me of the struggle for completing the checklists, that would be a true challenge for Jirard!

[@MikeIsNexciting]

Loved Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland on the GBA, not the best gamer and never cared much to complete games fully, but as a kid that game was completed many times. Such a fun game.

[@J_Themborn]

4:39 okay yes, thank you! I was getting worried how no one else seems to not connect the new game to 64. I'm glad someone else thought of Crystal Shards when they saw the e3 game.
