There is a new move that you pretty much forgot kirby can Dodge now by holding the Gard button and moving the left joy stick Kirby can move in an acrobatic Dodge by dodgig any attack at the right time you can get back to attacking enemies and bosses doing so making bosses easier than usual

[@zepho2138]

Probably not the best I have only played 2 Kirby games and it’s now 3 thanks to land and it’s a solid 8/10, but there may be one that is better, idk, please share your opinions, I wanna see!

[@tymon4729]

Yo WX: don't starve

[@stanzacosmi]

2:52 the developers actually made the game in a way so that if an attack looks like it'll hit, it hits. The camera angle changes the hitbox width basically, which I think is really cool.

[@alexpufahl7484]

That’s really cool.

[@LateOne15]

That’s kinda insane, wow

[@TGOArchive]

This is the first Kirby game where I was just having fun and didn’t realize I got an achievement while doing it. I instinctively went to bring the ducklings to their mother without a second thought- not even realizing that was an objective. That’s high praise.

[@6AZNPRIDE]

I would say Planet Robobot would be a really cool game to try out for the channel of you go back to any of them. I think it has one of the most fun main gimmick twists on the kirby formula and the level design really does justice to the robot theme in. And Kirby dubstep. That never hurts too

[@jeannepixel4692]

I only have Star Allies to compare, and while that wasn't inherently a bad game, it did leave something to be desired. I'm only in the second world in Forgotten Land, but I'm having a blast. It'll probably rank on my list of favorite video games in general.

[@AndroidHarris]

Star allies was my least favorite kirby game even including spin offs that weren't my thing. I've played most kirby games. They worth going back to if you like 2D platform/action games. Kirby & the forgotten land is definitely different. I haven't beat it yet but I wouldn't put it in my top 3 yet. Seeing how it's going it'll probably will make top 3 by the end though tbh. Depends on how the later levels are tbh. Right now I'd say top 5 tho. I'm at the 3rd area/world after alolan woods.

[@dustymcwari4468]

Star Allies is alright, and there’s a lot to play with after the DLC, but even with that, I still rather play any other RtD style Kirby game over that one tbh

[@Maylays_Retro_Games]

That animation at the beginning was gold 10/10

[@supercamborg4218]

This game is basically a better version of what I wanted Balan Wonderworld to be when all we saw from Balan was the initial reveal trailer.

[@pastap0wer24]

I don’t know where this game would go on my hypothetical Kirby tier list but Forgotten Land is definitely very high. i’m about 8 hours in to my 100% play through and am loving it so much. Planet Robobot is my favorite and this may be up there with it. This is a huge step up from Star Allies

[@mattb6522]

I've already played through the first two worlds as well and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite Kirby games! This is one of the best new Kirby games in ages! I haven't been this excited about a new Kirby game since Super Star! It feels like a great mix of old and new! Now all we need is a new full 3D Donkey Kong game...

kirby’s middle name is “of”,and his last name is “the stars” so his full name is kirby of the stars

For your question about how it ranks among other Kirby games, I started with Return to Dreamland on the Wii, and I'd say that this game holds up very well. Also, for giving Kirby a last name, I'm tempted to go the Mario route and make his name Kirby Kirby.

[@spectrasoulfaire215]

Choc's nostalgia trip about past Kirby games reminded me that I once spent 40+ minutes grinding out The True Arena using only the Stone ability. Anybody else remember that?

[@bulkypigeon]

Once? I did that in at least three of the games with true arenas :-:

[@draco4569]

I used Hammer. I did manage to beat the True Arenas in both Planet Robobot and Triple Deluxe. They were both really hard.

Planet Robobot is an absolute banger and I'd love to see you play it. Also, Kirby is not easy. Very common misconception for those who have never 100 percented a Kirby game. The main games may be easy, but the True Arenas are anything but.

[@glimmerstantroop46321]

Yeah true, Star Allies ruins that, also Robobot is amazing, it and Triple Deluxe

Friendly Tip for people Starting out on Kirby and The Forgotten Land: ICE IS BROKEN. BLOCKING WITH ICE MAKES YOU COMPLETELY INVINCIBLE (Except for Grabs and Puddle Hazards)

Pro tip: Use Ice on bosses to get the no-hit waddle dee since it’s block is invincible.

[@MegamanGuy444]

If your gonna play the older Kirby games for content, as a ultra super star fan of Kirby, I must recommend: 1. Kirby Robobot. Its my second favorite and has awesome locales, great powerups, Amazing music (and some remixes of older ones), and excellent bosses. Also you can Gurren Laagan in this game, plus there's Susie, one of my favorite girls in games. The in-game story (You have to read it in the pause screen, otherwise you'll miss it.) Is quite dark too. 2. Kirby Return to Dream Land. Its an all around excellent game, and its oddly satisfying to play with friends. It has a perfect pace, some hidden bosses, and all around EXCELLENT music. Plus it as my boy Magalor. Fantastic character. 3. Kirby Air Ride. If you haven't played it. Its best with friends but to me, is the peak of kart racers.Easy to understand and learn, but difficult to perfect. Also: CITY TRIAL. God I would love to play that with friends again... Overall a quite enjoyable time. Probably could be a one-off or two-off. 4. Kirby and the Crystal Shards. I kinda have to shill this game, since its my favorite after all. Great gimmick, Legendary soundtrack, Amazing bosses, its just the perfect package. (For me.) - To burst your bubble though, Kirby has an anime series actually. Its pretty good and hilarious.

[@QwixLF]

The transition to 3D is so smooth here. The narrowing down of copy abilities doesn't even feel that constricting, with the upgrade system. I do miss the variety of moves available to each ability, but the jump to 3D kinda necessitated it. I want them to bring back fighter in this style in a future game. Solid 9/10 game.

[@DMMegsie]

7:48 "too easy, throw a challenge at me." and hasn't played the last few kirby games? Oh boy... someone's in for a bumpy ride Edit: This game is currently tied with Kirby 64 as my favorite Kirby game.

[@Baconpancakes0]

I would absolutely love to see you play other Kirby games! It's one of my favorite series. Super Star Ultra is one of my personal favorites

[@alexpufahl7484]

100 percented today. Definitely one of my favorites from the Kirby franchise. To be fair, that’s most of them. :) I’d say Triple Deluxe is my favorite Kirby game followed by Robobot, so this could be tied for third or fourth place. An interesting point that you consider Kirby 64 to be a 3D game. I think it classifies as 2.5D, since you’re on a track the whole time, even if the camera angle changes. I do think many similarities can be drawn between that and this game however, with the most notable being King DeDeDe’s redesign. Looking forward to seeing your reactions to Kirby’s first 3D outing!

[@blackkofi]

I love to hear your passion of Kirby, I hope you enjoy the game!

[@robertbush8316]

Ok I loved your intro on this video and would definitely love to see more like it! Even if it's with just game clips instead of a full animation it would be awesome to see how you grew up with these games and such!

[@JacobTheToadMan]

Not including this game since I’ve yet to beat it, my favorite Kirby that I’ve played would be Planet Robobot, with Star Allies as a close second (Star Allies is probably pretty mediocre objectively, but for me personally I had a blast with it, mainly due to nostalgia lol)

[@PoyoDreamer]

[@glimmerstantroop46321]

Star Allies is great in my opinion, I also loved Robobot, Triple Deluxe, Return To dreamland and Battle Royale

[@xdifficultviper9916]

Yo the intro quality is top notch choc props to your editors/animators

[@Yipper64]

18:24 definitely in the top 5. On the level of my #1 planet robobot. Maybe like just under superstar ultra. I think Mass Attack will always be my #2 but this kind of makes a weird shuffle putting Squeak Squad under both, because I cant have superstar ultra not on my top 4 but also feels weird to knock squeak squad down to #5.

[@theghosttm8245]

Red rooms you can just reenter them to try again. Getting more waddles dees opens more portals to get those stars you’ll need to upgrade abilities. Don’t forget you can guard and dodge which is very useful especially in later boss fights.
