I also had my fear for the Gacha collectibles but since I got extra coins for playing on Wild mode and never needed items, I had enough money to burn. Also, to be honest, the RNG was kinda fair, not overloading you with doubles and mostly granting you unobtained figurines. This game was definitely a "Complete it"

[@ShaOryDow]

I feel like the randomness of the Gacha machine went down the more you used it in a row. Like from 20% to 50% to 75% chance on getting a new one, it felt super satisfying, every time.

[@KingProclaimed]

The gotcha machine is actually guaranteed to give you something new if you get two repeats in a row. That's why it's not too bad to collect all the figures

[@sinteleon]

@@KingProclaimed Huh. No wonder it completed so easily for me, cause I use a "throw money at gacha until I get 3 repeats in a row" mentality. :v

[@ExaltedUriel]

I didn't have trouble completing the gacha either, just doing the fishing minigame is a quick and easy enough stream of coins that I found I had farmed nearly double what I needed by the time I completed it.

[@pforgottonsoul]

yeah even when i ran out of coins for the gacha machines i never really found myself needing to grind that badly.

[@Nixitur]

From my experience, I'm pretty sure that the Gotcha machines, while random, are actually _weighted_ towards figurines you don't have yet. Sure, you're still gonna get duplicates, but I definitely felt like I got new ones more often than I should, were it uniformly random.

[@Dreigonix]

If only other gacha games did that…

[@AetherKirin]

Really late, but how it works is that every third figurine is guranteed to be a new one, if the previous 2 were dupes.

[@browncoatkevin]

One machine gave me five new ones in a row when I only had seven to go - I agree with the inherent leniency they programmed in (again, they're respecting the player's time by tilting the balance that way).

[@Mike14264]

​@@AetherKirin really? Fascinating...

[@nouche]

I had the same impression actually, it's interesting to know I wasn't just hallucinating!

[@Uldihaa]

Just want to point out that the "lag" on distant, animated characters/mobs/objects is a resource-preserving tactic. It lets them really emphasis the foreground and the player character space by sacrificing those further away. The Switch is not a super-powerful system, so things like this should be expected. Anyway, I seriously loved this game. The colors, music, and that pink hero just screams 'Relax, Have Fun, Laugh'.

[@CapnShades]

When you come into this from games like Monster Hunter it's almost a nice reminder of home haha

[@gameman250]

I believe they pulled this same trick for Super Mario Odyssey.

[@C24U_]

It’s also a terrible distracting and immersion ruining approach to game design. If you can’t make the game run at a consistent visual and performance standpoint, with A. Scale back the graphics a bit since we don’t really care to see the pores on every skin texture or B. Design the level around your limitations so the player doesn’t see it, you know, art through adversity.

[@HandheldGamer1991]

As much as it doesn't bother me i agree with you on this. If the console cant handle it then just dont do it.

[@JLMetak]

That distant lag reminded me a lot of Kirby and the Rainbow Curse's purposely low frame rate animations to emphasize the claymation aesthetic used in that game. Yeah I know it looks cheap and I'm just coming up with excuses but I frankly couldn't care less.

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

Waddle Dee Town reminded me a lot of Goomba Village in Paper Mario 64. It's inhabited by creatures that the main character would usually blindly attack in any other game. It was such a breath of Fresh Air For Kirby to save The Waddle Dees and let them build their own Town.

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

[@bookworm3696]

[@zeospark9715]

That's what I love about the Paper Mario games especially the first one. It was the first game to establish that not all Koopas and Goombas are out to get Mario and there are ones that live in their own society free from Bowser's control. Even the Boos are friendly in the first one though stick to their nature by loving to play tricks on others (a fun fact that PM64 only game where Boos are friendly NPCs in. Every other Mario and Paper Mario game after that has them as hostile enemies)

[@shadowmetroid18]

@@bookworm3696 It seems like Kirby and the Waddle Dees are normally chill with each other, but sometimes they end up on opposite sides of a conflict King Dedede started. Plus in ALMOST every game the Waddle Dees make almost no effort to hurt you. They kinda just walk around and chill out.

[@thatperson2537]

From my personal experience I think the figurines aren’t quite 100% RNG. I’ve 100% completed the game twice now (once solo and once co-op) and very rarely did I not get the figures I needed within 5 tries, which based on the maths would be ridiculously lucky. I think the game must automatically increase the odds somewhat for figures that you don’t have so that you’re not endlessly grinding for those last few. Either way this game is easily my personal game of the year and I don’t care what anyone else says. And we’re only in April.

[@thatnerdcalledzanni3957]

I've seen speedrunners say that's exactly the case. Game increases chances of a new figurine with each failure at the gacha. On average every 3 spins should net you figurines, which gave a pretty good estimate of how much money you farm while fishing in the 100% category

[@ExaltedUriel]

Someone in another comment said that you're _guaranteed_ a new figure if you get a dupe twice in a row. I'm not sure if that means any dupe or the same figure twice in a row, but still, very generous.

[@legoworld246]

@@ExaltedUriel Completed the game recently, I can confirm, if you get any duplicate twice in a row, you're guaranteed a new figure on the third try. But to specify, that is from the gacha machines, I don't know of that also applies when finding the figures in the levels.

[@ivy_47]

Yeah, my guess was that there's about a 50% chance to be guaranteed a new figurine when you open a capsule from a level completion (less so when using the gacha). Seems like people have found more specific rules since then

[@johern27]

I had such a great time getting a 100% file. and I am relieved to see you aren't going to a more literal completion approach by getting the crown on every single figurine or powering up every single ability to +star.

Kirby is a brief respite from everything that makes completing, or just gaming in general so daunting recently. It's a simple game, to both play and complete, and only asks that you have fun. Truly, Kirby is our lord and saviour.

[@shred5]

Agreed. The time trials on the treasure roads were fairly difficult but not impossibly so, the secondary challenges usually aren't too terrible and are fun to try to find. The only thing that's seemingly impossible for me so far is beating the Ultimate Cup Z mode, I get to the second phase of the last battle and always die.

Yeah... at least until you get into the lore. Psh, imagine saying that Morpho Knight is just a Meta Knight with a moth motif. Jirard doesn't know, he just doesn't know, and is blessed with blissful ignorance...

[@Hobokip]

Yup. As time goes on, most of the best single player games are just getting bigger and bigger. It’s not a bad thing at all, but I miss how common place these short and simple games are. Forgotten Land reminds me of Wario World a lot. A short 3D platformer (the only 3D game in the series) that’s pretty short, is a blast to complete, and offers some challenge if you commit to completion

[@mas8705]

I completed this game on my first go. It took me about two weeks, and (like all kirby final arenas) I felt unrelenting, defeated rage with every failure; I managed to beat it with the morpho knight ability, and felt the same rush of victory as every arena. Collecting every waddle dee and figure was a fun time too with incredible music and lore. This whole game was astounding from start to end

[@dinoboi7756]

Yeah, Morpho Knight Sword is absolutely incredible. Its dodge is incredible, it can drain HP using certain attacks, and the phantoms. Oh boy. If you hold the guard button and hold attack, you'll unleash two small specters that resemble Fecto Forgo in its larvae form. These things are RIDICULOUS They last quite a while, so much so that you can release about four of em before the first set disappears, they home in on enemies, and they do SO much damage.

Me and my wife have been playing this game, I love how fast paste it its but also simple enough for her to follow and get good at (she isnt that good at games). I honestly think its a better 2 player game than mario 3d world as the platforming is simple and no one is drastically faster and the fantastic goofy world. Kirby over the years has turned slowly into better franchise and the jump to true 3d is fantastic and keeps the classic mechanics of the game!

[@sinteleon]

3D world is deliberately competitive, so yeah, it isn't really a good stepping stone for low entry level multiplayer. I'd recommend Star Allies instead in terms of low entry level multiplayer too.

[@the_godbodor7026]

I completed this game pretty easily cause this game makes completion straightforward, fun, and simple. The Gatcha capsules were extremely easy cause by exploring and playing the game collecting coins and figures I managed to complete everything but the figures until the very end which I just worked my way back in the machines from expensive to cheap and with all my coins had a few thousand left when collecting all the figures. This game is a 10/10 easily from me.

[@piclemaniscool]

I had an absolute blast getting 100% on this game. I'm fairly confident the Gotcha machines aren't true RNG because I didn't have any trouble at all filling out the whole collection. I will say though that there were one or two pieces of Leon's soul that felt like the game developers trolling me, putting it in locations immediately after the "retry" star, and the like. But aside from that one section of the game the whole thing was smooth sailing. You don't even have to get the target time for all of the treasure road challenges to trigger 100% which I appreciate because clearly the goal of the game as a whole was to make you enjoy the game, not to be frustrated. Playing this game was like eating my favorite flavor of ice cream, just an absolute comfort. Even if it's not especially long, I can easily see myself coming back to this game if I'm ever in a place in my life when I need a happy place with which to escape. And of course the soundtrack is an absolute killer. There's a track titled, "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit" which I think is hilariously in contrast with the kid-friendly aesthetic. End of the game just turns into Final Fantasy and I love it. I read up on Kirby lore in preparation for this game, and I was not disappointed.

[@TheBulstrom]

[@indianalicona6155]

This was the first game Ive ever completed and I attribute that to how encouraging the game was to actually hit that 100 pecernt.

Honestly it feels like RNG is skewed to give you more new figures than old. I don't often 100% games but I'm proud to Complete Kirby.

[@Aldenfenris]

I admit I was unsure on the decision to transfer the pause menu info dumps to the figurines, but then I realized, it might be for the best, since you can look at the figurines at any time, rather than needing to return to that boss specifically for reading that info.

[@BronzeSpaceComet]

So I think the gacha machines aren’t actually fully RNG. When I was grinding them, I was getting a new figure about half the time even after I had most of them, so it definitely favors new figures. It’s really appreciated how they made sure the process wouldn’t be too painful. I also didn’t actually use Trader Waddle Dee at all, since getting a rare stone took more time than just grinding the fishing minigame for coins, which I found to be the fastest way to grind for them, as you can get a gold fish every couple minutes, and that gives you a buttload of coins

[@Aldenfenris]

They aren't, they have increased chances of new figures, as I understand, as a mechanic to make it so... you don't get stuck forever for the last figures. Which is nice.

“And of course my favorite AWOOFY!”

[@27Bayleefs]

Such a great game. One of the best games I played all year so far

[@Mike14264]

Honestly, Kirby is part of the menu as a main course for me!

[@JulietStMoon]

Hey now, i completed this not long before the video came out. Not all the rare stone powerups because that's crazy, but everything else. Had a fantastic time.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

Kirby games are just so delightful to 100%. They're the only ones that I consistently hold myself to completing fully, they're challenging but they don't waste your time.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

The gacha RNG is made fairer because every third pull is guaranteed to be new!

[@Brizzle12341]

One nice thing with the figures is that I think you are slightly more likely to get one you don't have yet, so it makes collecting them slightly easier.

[@jordancarroll1217]

I could hear the excitement on Jirard's voice when he said Kirby game

[@johnc1963]

I just want to say the amount of high quality content on this channel is insane! Keep up the great work Jirard!

[@JGr2000]

Even when playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land as an adult, Kirby is just so damn cute! This game has so much charm and cuteness to it, especially in Waddle Dee Town

[@HDGamerofficial]

This game has to be one of my favourite games I’ve ever completed! If I was a teacher and this game was an assignment, I’d give this game a 100% I had such a blast and the colosseum genuinely pushed me to my limit cuz I kept getting beat by the ultra mega super final boss! Which I’d never expect that level of challenge from a Kirby game, but honestly it made completion feel that much more satisfying

[@zom8680]

For some reason I thought this game was gonna be "open world" not "the first 3D Kirby" (which I didnt realize hadn't happened yet) Finished it yesterday and before I left for work today I was on the 5th Fecto world on my way to saving Leo. The simple thing of constantly saving the villains and turning them into Allies is what makes this entire franchise amazing!

[@silverwolfgamer4100]

I know I’m a bit late to this but I’m surprised at how he held back for true completion. Just going by what the game says? I like that restraint. Me, I personally added the caveat that ALL ABILITIES must be rank Star. As in, all 11 copy abilities that can be upgraded AND every variant of those abilities.

[@mikomakowski7907]

Probably for the best you didn’t go for absolute perfection. My completion base is upgrading every copy ability and getting 9 of every figure, giving each one a tiny crown when you get the max amount It is horrifically tedious and I have killed chaos elfilis over 100 times

[@FemboyJoe]

Fun fact. That moth like sword thing? That was meta knights concept design!

[@Zeroknight34]

That opening man , I feel you knowing these characters for ages reminds us how old we are now but to live through today to see the evolution of games is a amazing experience.

[@coreymyers5321]

I still love this intro.

[@jonathanhatty]

Me too

[@what15it]

I usually listen to these videos on my drive to work. This is the first one I've actually watched in a while. As someone who is 32 and rocks the silver wings in their hair, I appreciate the representation. You're rocking them well!

[@cheskitten7097]

What a funny coincidence, I just got 100% on my own Forgotten Land file yesterday.

[@sinteleon]

I think the best part of the completion challenge is that the arbitrary extra challenge/maxing isn't part of the completion process (Time Trial, Tilt and Roll very hard difficulty, and maxing out weapons aren't considered part of 100% completion.

[@alexbiersner3350]

I'm so glad this amazing game got the complete it rating. I didn't know it was going to be this good. My favorite level so far is the carnival one where you swallow a giant light bulb and you have to make your way through the level by lighting up certain areas. And the design of everything in said level was gorgeous

[@SamantherPanther]

I always loved how kirby games have that checklist style that encourages 100% completion even on a casual scale

[@levferno483]

I played a little bit of this game with my girlfriend and the game is awesome. I bought it for myself and I can’t wait to play it.

[@massdefection]

I need this game so bad, everything about it just looks fun. Can't wait to try it sometime soon!

[@MechTechGunna]

If you want to fly through the game invest in the Fire, Ice, Hammer and Sword abilities!

[@melontoad]

Trader Waddle Dee is a scam. You get a guaranteed new Figure every third try which makes it a lot easier to get them all

[@lucar1154]

The hardest for me has been to complete all the chronos of the Treasure Roads. Some times, it was a matter of a few hundredths of a second to complete them. You really had to complete the roads without making any error. Not even Chaos Elfilis was that hard.

[@p0k3f4n7]

I got 100% 4 days after I got the game, and I honestly enjoyed almost every bit of it. The only parts I actually dislike are trying to beat Twin Frosties without getting hit and the Staircase treasure roads. Maybe I'd like it a fair bit less if I wasn't thorough my first time going through a level, but as someone who really checked every corner, only having to go back through one of the (relatively short and easy to rush through) levels once or twice, it was a great time.

[@cyberlinkx5290]

I actually completed this game myself a few days ago and I’ll totally do it again. Such a fun game!

[@Enzevil]

Luckily the gacha machine has a pity timer, if I remember correctly you can't get more than 3 of the same ones before getting a new one. So if you save up enough money, you get it. I had to fish for 20 minutes in total to get enough to buy every one of them, and completed Kirby between 30-35 hours. It's my favorite Kirby game of all time, and one of my favorite games on the Switch!

[@icecontrol1]

22:20 Yeah the reason for this is that the Gotcha Machine actually gives bigger chances to give one you don't have

[@Dipped1234]

I love the little pun that kirby is literally transported into another dimension for the first 3d game.

[@Nirual86]

collecting all figurines was surprisingly painless despite the RNG. The machines actually seem to favor giving you new figures instead of being completely random, plus the division into series means you're looking at like 1/50 or so chances anyway (not counting special figures which you earn outside of the RNG to begin with). Granted, it did eat up a lot of my savings and I was abusing Deep Sleep for free buffs, but its definitely not as grindy as previous Kirby collectables where you'd have to replay levels or use amiibo to roll for more.

[@dsch772]

I'm pretty sure the probabilities of getting a figure from gacha machines aren't uniform. They are probably at least slightly biased towards figures you don't yet have, based on how my last few figures didn't even take me more than 10 tries.

[@LoganWH8]

What three figures do you keep on Kirby’s fireplace? Personally, I have Squishy, Bandana Dee, and Space Ranger Kirby.

[@adorianpious6957]

i'm as old as kirby. that hits different.

[@MAK3030]

Kirby forgotten land is so sick We need Elden Ring Jirard Im dying for it ! 😂

[@Anthaneus]

I liked how you called him "the pink demon of the void", because that is literally what Kirby is in the lore.

[@xenos_n.]

This is one of the rare games I can see myself completing and actually wanting to.

[@NianJKL]

And here we are! I’m so glad that you covered this game it’s so good and I can’t wait to hear your reactions to things!

[@bleakautomaton4808]

For some reason I think that Katamari Damacy and Kirby games would mesh nicely together.

[@NovikNova]

This game is the first one where I’m going to 💯% the game on my first playthrough
