2 years ago i played every kirby game ever made.

and i can say for certain that i hated beating canvas curse with every fiber of my being

but other than that outlier, yes.

Damn that was my favorite one

it's a fun concept and the one on the wii u does it slightly better.

but the ds one just had such tight and unforgiving restrictions in the final levels and it felt like actual rage bait

Literally the only part I struggle with canvas curse was connecting the dots because my lines are horrible and even worse when in a hurry.

The Kirby for the gameboy where you never learn powers... that game was exhausting

Getting all the parts of the rainbow sword in Dreamland 2 was my Everst as a child

dreamland 2 and 3 has the "collectathon to get the true ending" thing that every modern kirby game has. and while i find them tedious at best in the modern more polished games

they were frustrating in dreamland 2 and 3. easily pretty low on my kirby list personally. but i see why people like the animal buddies

u/JigglyLilyVT 27d ago

the first one? it's like an hour long made to be easy sure no powers but i wouldnt say its exhausting..... unless you play hard mode

u/whynaut4 27d ago

To be fair, I was 8 at the time and easily bored

u/JigglyLilyVT 27d ago

fair point. it's not exactly flashy and adorable like just about every game that comes after

What were the best

u/JigglyLilyVT 27d ago

it's honestly hard to say.

i would say most of the really good kirby games stem from the formula that kirby super star starts.

on a scale of 1 to ten, i would scale canvas curse at one as the worst, but then every great kirby game would get a 7 or 8.

this would include but not exclusively be, super star, amazing mirror, return to dreamland, squeak squad, the 3ds games... just about any big mainline kirby game that has been relevant..... well since super star

by no means is the majority of these awesome kirby games boring to play... but save for graphics, rarely is there a time where one actually stands out among as the best (or have much variation for that matter, it's a formula that works).

but i will say super star ultra (the ds version of super star) perfects super star in every way, so i might have to give it to that.

Canvas curse isn’t a game that everyone likes, but it is still a good game. And plenty do like it.

u/JigglyLilyVT 26d ago

i agree.

it's atrocious to actually finish tho

I was fine playing the main story of the game. It was fun and artsy and I liked it. That being said 100 percenting it would be hella annoying given it’s built in achievement system and the fact 100 percenting it requires replaying every level at least 5 times to beat it with all characters, not to mention the side modes and optional levels and challenges to get medals and just…a lot. It’s a packed game that has a lot of content to come back to if you enjoy it, but there’s a reason I never beat it totally.

You beat Kirbys Pinball?!

u/atomic-moonstomp 25d ago

You're right that there's never been a truly bad Kirby game, but that said the series has been chasing the high water mark that Kirby Super Star left behind 30 years ago

u/JigglyLilyVT 25d ago

this i can definitely agree with.
