Same!! I love Kirby hahah

[@jensrose3359]

[@va-v]

casually pulls out void termina

[@TheManOfManyNames.]

*casually takes out a printed copy explaining all of kirbeh lore*

[@fernandoreis3365]

Kirby's plot is actually pretty solid at the mainline games. There are lots of lore pieces in things such as pause menus, and when you put them together, it is simply incredible. You should check it out, there are lots of videos on the matter!

[@CrumbleKoek]

Yeah, you'd think it's a story about a pink puffball going on an adventure, it's actually about a reincarnation of a godlike being defeating other godlike entities and then going to sleep.

[@GamesbiteRtDL]

The impact of a simple story to hidden details is quite astronomical

[@luckysnivy6843]

Or lore

[@loogi_is_die]

Take a shot everytime a kirby fan says actually Or mentions how the plot is deep Even though it has no length

[@fernandoreis3365]

@@loogi_is_die you're right, it is not a deep plot. It is not pretentious nor the main focus of the games. And despite that they still make the effort of slowly showing that mysterious lore through their games for those who are interested. And that makes it pretty solid and charming imo.

[@Shyguymask]

I feel like Kirby Mass Attack is by far the best example of a Kirby game using the touch screen. That game pushed the DS to its limit to the point it's one of the most unique games I played with great sprite visuals, polished smooth gameplay despite the gimmick and a ton of variation in the levels. Oh, and there's a crap ton of side games you can unlock too.

[@TheDiamondMc88]

Man I completely agree with that Kirby Mass attack is my best kirby game, and probably one of the best games that I have ever played in the DS

[@cyber_runner]

Yes! One of my favorite games I had on my DSI when I was younger! It was cute, engaging, and just unique in concept!

[@nickk3077]

I actually really liked this game! It's so underrated! I vastly prefer it to Kirby Star Allies actually. Rainbow Curse is pretty, has unique gameplay, has excellent music, and is overall a very charming experience!

[@bolitboy1grand833]

it has 3 bosses that are all reused twice it would of been received better if it had more bosses

[@WilliamC.]

Yeah

[@nickk3077]

@@bolitboy1grand833 I thought the bosses were pretty fun! The remixed fights still switched things up a bit too! There was, like 7 bosses or so, including the final fight. Also, like, Canvas Curse had only one boss... Yeah, I don't feel like there is much to criticize about this game's bosses.

[@moosesues8887]

That game has no combos

[@theminebloxcraft5779]

Yeah star allies was such a disappointment man

[@bobismad1362]

I think the lack of copy abilities is justified since in CC they just kind of got rid of mobility options with the exceptions of Missile and Wheel. Sure, Burning and Needle provide alternatives but sometimes you just want the roll.

[@Nopal_ku]

3:43 I infact play kirby games for the plot and lore, is actually really good lore for a franchise made for kids. Really dark and grim details in kirby games are really enjoyable to put together

[@leyulis8882]

Yeah, that's a reason to love Kirby

[@the_godbodor7026]

Kirby lore is crazy cool and dark, but the actual playable stories always go from something like “That bad guy DeDeDe took your cake again, time to go kick his ass,” and ends as “time to fight the god of death, a floating and bleeding eye, and literal dark matter”

[@leyulis8882]

The butterfly itself is the God of death waiting for judgement day to arrive, right?

[@silverghost7360]

FINALLY, SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT MY FAVORITE KIRBY GAME :D i've always had a soft spot for Rainbow Curse, partly because of the claymation artstyle, and partly because it was the first kirby game i played. it's definitely not the best kirby game made, but it still has a place in my heart :}

[@amansstupedestfreind9457]

Me too

[@someonenamedsomeone9497]

“But you don’t play Kirby for the plot” oh he has no idea

I have never heard of a single person disliking -Air Ride- City Trial, I have no idea what you're talking about.

[@chip_plus_plus]

one of my favorite Kirby games I'm glad that more people are going to recognize it because of you! :D

[@thedude4063]

He says this game has no plot... The grab hands turn out to be a type of dark matter which is the manifestation of negative energy and appears in various forms across the series.

[@NeonGSP]

this game is great, nice to see you cover it Dane!

[@deckerdonat8529]

Danerade on his way to get a new intro every video he makes🏃‍♂

[@dimitriwarchief301]

Thanks for covering it

[@DrWellRound]

I remember playing this as a kid, my favorite world was the blue sky palace, it just looks so unique, and it had one of my favorite abilities, and the banger soundtrack to it. One of my favorite sky worlds in a game.

[@loadingusername3348]

The quality of your videos is awesome

[@PoyoDreamer]

3:21 Are you sure about!? But seriously, Kirby usually start of with a problem and then the plot unfolds as you play, especially with it’s messed up deep and dark lore scattered throughout the series.

[@loogi_is_die]

"So like i DON'T really play kirby games but there's a serious lack of plot" Also this is rainbow course what are you talking about

[@dibsditto3017]

I won't stop commenting until you make a bug fables vid

[@smugsuperoof4314]

I remember getting this and those segments where you fight off the hands genuinely terrified me

[@chip_plus_plus]

imagine this but your hyperactive little sibling has to save you oh god

[@Donchan1]

I was drawn into this game when it first released for its unique art style. And while the gameplay is… bad, I find the visuals and soundtrack are great!

[@Rajada64]

The gameplay is actually very good, it uses the touchscreen in various creative ways. You will definitely have a good challenge and fun while trying to do everything in the game as the challenge mode does have hard challenges and it tests your ability with the gameplay mechanics of the game.

[@elliebee3520]

That was one banger outro, also the rest of the video was pretty good too

[@FazcoinToyFreddy]

Great video danerade!

[@Impeldown77]

As someone who actually grew up with the Wii U, even I didn’t know this game existed

[@SakkaSays]

You are ridiculously underrated man

[@justragnar8667]

I really liked this game, played it with my siblings, but i was so new to console gaming that i held the Wii remote upright for well over half the game. 10/10.

[@anthonyduffy6096]

You’re right that’s my favorite commercial that ever existed

[@LocalGooberGoobs]

Y’know, I have that game, though I’ve only played a small amount of the levels. I’ll probably do a replay of it to see what it has to offer!

[@SomeGuyThatisCool]

I remember buying this game at the mall when i was like 7 trying to look for a game i didn’t know the name of (it was Kirby return to dreamland). Even though it has low content me and my brothers’ brains couldn’t comprehend how to use play because it was challenging. I still love the art style though definitely my favorite part.

[@greencomet2011]

I laughed way too much at the "Wow, that is relatable!" Followed by the explosions

[@someguy7777]

"there is a serious lack of plot" you didn't heard about... dark matter didn't ya?...

[@guidogeek2009]

Fun fact: this was my first Kirby game. And I loved it.

[@PoyoDreamer]

Ayo, the music in this game contains remixes to other Kirby music, and it’s fire!

[@theshypuppet]

That Kirby commercial is pretty cool Until you watch SMG4: Mario reacts to cursed Nintendo commercials

[@Bransbow]

This is my absolute favorite Kirby spinoff (the art style is a big reason), and it pains me that it probably can't/won't get rereleased on future consoles.

[@Bixbyte]

I LOVED watching Zack Scott's playthrough

[@qoobe]

I loved this game so much

[@snowfalloverheaven]

paper bowsers intro are always charming to watcj

[@edwinsalisbury83]

It’s funny because this was my first Kirby game.

[@Itshomski]

Love the vid and the Wii U :)

[@angels-crazieness]

this was the game i saw in a kiosk my first time at gamestop

[@Rajada64]

I disagree with many aspects mentioned in the video. Yes, the lack of abilities is disappointing, but on the other hand, the game features several different Levels, each with its own Gimmick and idea. Not only are the levels that use rockets, tanks and submarines very creative, but also the levels without transformations as well, as we have several chests hidden in a variety of ways, unique mechanics like the Gondola, creative enemies like the Dethskulk (which instakills you if you touch it), as well as several cool world themes like the Ghost Airship and the Junk Factory from the last world. The soundtrack is also phenomenal and one of the best in the Kirby franchise. The game is short, but doing 100% in it is quite a job, as you need to collect all the gold medals, treasures and diaries, defeat all the bosses without taking damage and finish all 48 challenges in the game. Challenge number 48 is certainly hell to complete, I say from experience that it is not easy at all. Dark Crafter is a obvious reference to Dark Matter, a recurring enemy in the series. Fun fact, Kirby games always have an extensive lore behind them, which is exposed through texts in the pause menus and through small details in the surrounding world, although Rainbow Curse really is simpler in this regard compared to the main games of the franchise. Anyway, for me it's certainly one of the most underrated games in the series and it deserves a chance.

[@CodeKirby]

Rainbow Curse may not have had copy abilities, but its predecessor did.

[@ceroanims9217]

On top of everything you said in canvas curse Kirby lost his limbs he couldn't walk or anything in rainbow curse Kirby just wants to be a ball for the heck of it

[@xbgames6162]

That was the first kirby game i ever played

[@ricodo1244]

People probably already told you but Kirby has a surprisingly high amount of lore but it's mostly on pause screens so most players don't notice or don't care

[@cardboardtoaster2169]

The game was interesting. When are you gonna say something about Kirby air ride

[@cardboardtoaster2169]

Okay he talked about I meant an actual 8 second video

[@CodeKirby]

My first owned kirby game.

[@ThefakeShocker]

I loved this game!

[@reformedorthodoxmunmanquara]

Honestly my favorite thing about this game is the music. Other than that, It's a neat little game, not too special but not bad either.

[@daneradeispoaggers5603]

Danerade is poaggers

[@marcelopaulo446]

This game is a spinoff,it doesn't need to have copy abilities

[@Alpha-oo8]

I booted up my wii u to listen to the music. It was good music!

[@SnailMakesMusic]

Pretty much every Kirby fan on this planet plays the games for their plot.

[@barelyhere7200]

Kirby and the rainbow curse easily has one of if not the best final boss theme in the series

[@KorbGamin]

the one from triple deluxe is heat

[@theshadowworld2239]

The best OST in the series

[@TheFrantastic]

4:20 Breath of the Wild is also on the Wii U. That poor console constantly gets stuff forgotten about it.

[@Gulliblepikmin]

-Wii Chess- Kirby and the Rainbow Curse: It Exists!

[@LandoReviews]

I think ya deserve my sun after this-

[@larrymantic2635]

I think the “7 worlds” thing is because of Seventopia, which used all the colors of Dreamland to make a rainbow.

[@finnshort3806]

Kirby fighters 2 was actually Kirby fighters 3, on the 3ds there's triple deluxe ver. (Original) and there's a version on it's own called Kirby fighters deluxe. I have every 3ds Kirby game

[@kolkagaming1234]

I remember playing this game with my friend

[@thomasmbl4436]

when he said you don’t play Kirby’s games for the plot though. Kirby lore is too deep

[@henryentertainmentsystem9923]

Dude, I love this game so much. I even made a review of it on my own channel.

[@quincylewis3339]

Ok I was like, "what do you mean of course I remember this game!!?" But I also just learned now that its rainbow curse, not rainbow CRUISE so maybe I didn't know it as well as I thought.

[@skyepilot4074]

I have this game. I love it

[@MacetheBlader]

Honestly…. This type of gameplay would work for a sonic spinoff. Make it fast paced and it would be even more fun I feel like. Like Kirby literally spins like sonic and has that similar pointy blue effect… I feel like I’m being taunted

[@JasonLeIdi]

neat.

[@Jennzrrose]

The purple hands gave me nightmares

[@kelvinthegamer3986]

I remember playing this with my friend

[@KSKY2012]

ooooh man, you need to learn about the kirby lore, it's insanely deep, weird, and pretty interesting

[@omo7002]

3:42 well we know you haven't been hitting the pause button in Kirby games (which is ok, this is not criticism).

[@Chaotic_Overlord]

I mean who plays Kirby for the lore thoug? You might care about It but you will probably buy It for the gameplay

[@Superbug-tf8zy]

Here's to hoping you can make a collab with Yves

[@pugtatogaymer6269]

I always wanted to try this game but as soon as I was ready it's so damn expensive now

I remember forcing my friend to be first player because I wanted to be bandanna dee, the fastest I made it in this game was the world 6 boss, I gave up I was 6 and it was too hard.

[@domithenugget2232]

i remember playing this game with my cousin and getting stuck on the final boss lol

[@LoueyThePerson]

I remember playing this game with my brother. I always forced him to be Kirby so I could be bandana dee lol. One of my favorites.

I don’t play games but looks fun.

[@lemonadesnake]

3:28 this got me

[@erickahan5204]

Honestly, I never played rainbow curse, but I would like to see your opinion on other Kirby games, mostly the arenas and lore pieces. Kirby is at its best when it is challenging, cute and fun; hell even when it isn’t challenging they make sure the level Desing is fun (expect for star alies, that has a more “open” and generic level desing).

[@-Devoid-]

What is a desing💀

[@eldartaghiyev8422]

Master hand and crazy hand was in GBA game Kirby and the amazing mirror and you get the smash alibty. Smash ability was too in triple deluxe but not master and crazy hand.

[@OriginalGameteer]

Honestly I loved this game. The bosses were cool, Claycia was great for me. I was so happy seeing the Elline reference in Fighters 2

[@NoSkill_fr]

Me while watching the video: so is he gonna talk about kirby lore (i somehow didn’t understand the title lol)

[@MelodyTheFelony]

I actually played the hell out of this game, I 100% it a couple of times. Edit: changed “if” to “of”

[@ViddysVids]

This should’ve been an Antdude collab

[@MeBrian]

Haha

[@kirbyfan6949]

3:41 ok who should tell him about Kirby lore ?

i completely forgot this game existed, i even forgot about the DS one note: you forgot to plug in the discord in the video again

[@nirgunawish]

cool channel

[@splatboy8318]

Hello Danerade. I've been seeing your videos and they are great. Could you maybe make a review of the latest beta of Plants vs Zombies 3 or Nintendo Switch Sports to full? It'll be funny from you talking sarcastically about either of these games, and it'll be understandable.

[@MrMan002]

I know I am late but, you should make a video on psychonauts 1 (I have commented this on every on of his videos).

[@DeanOtter]

Let’s goooo I guessed it

[@CheesyLizzy]

I played Rainbow Cure with my sister's all the time, it was fun 😄

[@CheesyLizzy]

10:19 it's kinda silly but there's 7 worlds because each world is associated with a color of the rainbow

[@CheesyLizzy]

I think this game is also a lot more fun to mess around in with friends, I have fond memories of having my army of Waddle Dee siblings by my side

[@CheesyLizzy]

Overall this game is just okay compared to some other Kirby games I've played though My favorite Wii U game though is Yoshi's Woolly World, that game both had an amazing style and was really fun! 😄 And if you try to go for 100% get ready to rage alongside whatever poor person you convinced to do 100% Yoshi with you. It's fun ^^
