Her soul isn't even a fight it's a being called Dark Crafter- she even helps you fight it.

Speaking of the entire series, you know a video game franchise rocks (no pun intended, because it’s the opposite word for “sucks”) when even the weakest games in the franchise that were lowest on the list, while not objectively great, have that traditional Nintendo (let alone Kirby) charm. It just makes you question, how is it imaginable at this rate if Kirby had a bad game (or other media, for that matter)? It’s imagination timen *Ken Penders (alongside makers of Sonic comics before Ian Flynn and his team) make Archie Kirby comics where Kirby is actually misogynistic enough to be a serial cheater and everyone else is a jerk in their own ways whether it be King DeDeDe and Escargoon being one-dimensionally evil or Metaknight wanting to kill a lot of other characters like Kirby because of how edgy they think they are or Tiff having an obsessive crush on Kirby who only sees her as a friend* Or if it had a Disney live-action remake by King DeDeDe except for the fact that it has the over-realistic character design style of those movies (not to mention the Archie Comics also having inconsistent character designs) that reimagined the Disney Renaissance from a wonder to behold to a joke that questions its own existence besides being cash-grabs that make them richer and richer regardless of people that are actually in need.

Yeh, unfortunately even with all the extra content in the form of updates they released , the main mode is just too bland for the most part, and the new friend combos are either an extra movement or a few minutes of one player doing neat stuff while the others just watch, which is too much of an oversight for a title so focused on co-op. It's not a bad game, far from it, but for a Kirby game there's too many things to fix to stand up alongside the other titles

@@professornova1236 I agree that Star Allies' story mode was laughably easy even by Kirby standards, but it's not like the other games will really cause you to lose more than a life or two anyway (usually from instant death by pits or getting crushed). But aside from that, how was the game's content "unfinished"? It had a full story mode, an extra mode with a new final boss that let you play as ANY character in the game, one of the most fleshed out Arena modes the series has seen yet, a True Arena with a stronger version of the final boss, as per usual, and a few fun mini games. By Kirby's typical standards, everything was there since the beginning. Adding more characters, Heroes in Another Dimension, and an even HARDER version of the True Arena with an even harder version of the final boss just gave the game more content than any other Kirby game to date.

And we didn't get heroes in another dimension until 8 months later, where we finally got _closure_ to the main story. I personally don't hate the game, but it left alot to be desired imo.

Man, I just noticed the length of the video when it ended. Great content, you just made me want to try the series one more time. Congrats on the 500k!

6:45 I’d like to inform you, that you did this. You gave it this name when first reviewed it in your spin offs video. And I’m very happy

According to the Kirby wiki Gryll uses "boku" which is usually a masculine pronoun and isn't considered a female villain, though that could just mean Gryll is genderless

My first Kirby game was Kirby’s Adventure specifically on the NES Classic edition that was chillin at my grandparents house. So much fun, and I’m happy that it was the game to get me into the franchise

I stumbled across this video and absolutely loved it. Kirby’s been my favorite game franchise forever now and I loved ever second of this. Very good video

There is an argument to be had about being too easy or too hard. Souls games are difficult, but none of them are as unfairly difficult as NES games like Battletoads and Ghosts and Goblins. Kirby games can sometimes feel like you are playing with the invincibility power-up on the whole time.

It's interesting how game difficulty can exist at this midpoint between artist choice and objective quality feature. I remember seeing a chart somewhere about how a game is meant to keep a player in a 'flow' state during play; basically difficult enough to be engaging, but not so hard as to be frustrating. But assuming that every game will have a one size fits all state of flow for the players is a folly; it's like saying that your book should be at an x-grade reading comprehension level, then being confused why some people find it an easy read whilst others find it difficult. There should be an author prerogative to decide whether a game should be easy, difficult, or somewhere in the middle; or perhaps even all of the above. Eh I'm just thinking about this because it reminds me of how video game's initial state as a fancy toy have distorted how people view ludonarrative decisions in the story as being more about optimized fun then as, like, a part of a vision by the creator.

Yeah. I'd like to see a soulslike difficulty for Kirby games and vice versa, but I'm still happy without them.

We need a Rainbow Curse stage in Smash just for the Art Style.

I absolutely love this video a lot!! I resonate with a lot of your takes and love for this franchise, I sincerely mean that. But on one hand, I get Star Allies had some big issues, but like... you ranking it below Kirby Pinball feels a little silly and a smidge petty? Considering that you talked significantly more highly about it than you trashed Squeak Squad, which was overwhelmingly negative and much, much higher. While it does have some problems, I definitely don't think it deserved to be so low on this list. Its pros and cons very clearly does not outweigh most of the titles placed above it. At least at the bottom of the more traditional Kirby games rather than below like 15 spinoffs.

As a die-hard kirby fan this brings me so much joy

Here in Japan, the new Kirby game is called "Kirby Discovery" instead of "Kirby and the Forgotten Land". I know that's not related, but I wanted to share. I'm really happy you're finally getting the subs you deserve dude!

The dead ends or “goals” as they’re called make Amazing Mirror’s world more annoying than it needs to be. You just take a wrong route with no hint on which way is right, and you’re just forced towards a mirror that takes you back into the hub. Trial and error, and if Kirby does try the open world thing again, I hope it does away with that altogether

@jrave5353

I think I’d rather have “goals” than have every path guaranteed to eventually lead to a boss. It feels more like a “world” and less of a “game” in that sense, and fosters a greater sense of exploration-plus, when you finally find a boss it feels that much more impactful!

This video was amazing, and man I follow you since 2017 and I'm still surprised you don't have MORE than 500k subs

Star Allies deserved so much better. The amount of fan service this game not only distributed but executed perfectly is just astronomical. The fact that with every Dream Friend that you summon, you get music from their original game is beautiful. The amount of characters you can play as is amazing aswell, not to mention their original movesets. They even have abridged campaigns with some puzzle changes for every playable character to keep things atleast somewhat fresh. It is criminal to have Star Allies be this low on the list. Any game where I can play as Gooey is a great game. Even though its an entry-level game, it has a decent bit of challenges with The Ultimate Choice and even the final boss in the regular story mode was a little challenging because I'm a filthy casual. In conclusion, this game rocks

Sadly you didn't said anything about the scrolls in kirby squeak squad, with which kirby could learn new moves to already known abilities and this feature is somewhat of a predecessor to kirby and the forgotten lands ability scrolls

Except TFL never adds to your overly-basic moveset 😂. The only ability that gets an upgrade from the scrolls is Sword, and that’s the only ability in the game other than Hammer with more than like 1-3 moves. Such a wasted opportunity, especially since more Squeak Squad references in TFL would have been perfect!

As someone who regularly binges your entire channel, i could not be happier for you to get the big 500k mark. Well done my dude

Great video man! Some great games in the franchise I forgot about mentioned here... Keep up the good work and congrats on 500k!

Shout out to none of these being bad. Kirby keeps a good high quality 👌

My heart skipped a beat when I realized that the wii version of epic yarn was in the top 5. I absolutely adore that game because it was have been one of the first console games I had ever played, either first or second I’m not sure. Also, I was so surprised that 3d classics Kirby’s Adventure was included because I always thought of it as a rerelease.

I'm glad you shouted out Factory Investigation specifically in the Kirby 64 part. That's legit one of my top ten game songs of all time. Absolute crazy banger.

I’m sad that I slept on Robobot for as long as I did. Granted, it was only for a few months, but I remember seeing a trailer for it at GameStop and thinking that Kirby had hit a new low. I couldn’t have been more wrong, because when I finally bought it, it quickly shot up to the top of my list. Absolutely fantastic game, and the creativity in the level design just never stops. So good.

It’s interesting how some of your list is almost the polar opposite of Nathaniel’s list. Rainbow curse in particular. Nathaniel: “music not good” Antdude: “great music!” (For the record, I agree with Antdude, love the music in this one)

I wish the best for your channel. You're a very genuine, wholesome, and dedicated youtuber. So much work radiates from your videos and the personality you give to them makes them very enjoyable.

funny thing about how I became a Kirby fan, I discovered this pink fluffy ball (and other franchises like Metroid and Starfox) thanks to the original Super Smash Bros. for the N64. At the time I also started watching the Kirby anime on TV, I became so obsessed with that pink guy that I even had dreams about him (one of them so strange that I remember details to this day, I was kidnapped by Santa Claus along with a homeless child to be trained in a special school that turns chosen children into members of Kirby's species), but unfortunately the video store near our house didn't have any Kirby games, so I had to settle for my first zelda, and I'm not going to lie, the game it was so fantastic that I quickly forgot about Kirby, I only remembered the pink dude years later when I bought my Wii and saw Kirby Epic Yarn for sale, I bought it without thinking twice, I was disappointed at first when I found out that in that game I couldn't absorb powers like Kirby did in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but I played it anyway and fell in love with it, and when when Kirby Return to Dreamland released I bought it the week it launched and I've become an assiduous fan of the franchise ever since. I know nobody asked for my story, but I wanted to tell it and I thought this Kirby loving channel was the best place to do it.

I find the fact that Kirby's first outing in 3d managed to get so high on the list sets high expectations for what the future of 3d Kirby is, i can only hope for a 3d sequel to amazing mirror with a full 3d open world to explore.
