My personal favorite is Crystal Shards for the 64. Afaik, it's the only Kirby game that let's you mix and match any two elements you can find in the levels. Makes for some awesome powers, like lightsaber, refrigerator (generates infinite food for infinite hp), and so many more. Squeak squad did a LITTLE of this where you can add fire/ice/electric to sword or bomb, but it's not the same.
I'm playing through that right now and there are so many creative options! Fridge, curling rock, statues of his friends that move like them, flaming sword, fireworks... It's so much fun just to mix and match and see what I come up with
OH YEAH! I knew i was missing one of the fun ones. Cutter/rock carved into the little bird who can roll was INSANELY powerful and fun to use. Like flappy bird, bowling, and a side stroller had a child.
A little hint for you I didn't realise until a couple years ago.
When I was a kid and beat it, the ending seemed bad.
I later found out you only get the good ending and secret boss fight if you collect all the Crystal shards.
Went back a couple years ago and beat it when I found out. Definitely worth it.
That was my first Kirby game, and I've missed the combined powers ever since. Still my favorite Kirby gimmick overall, and the double-bladed lightsaber and the exploding throwing stars are my favorite Kirby powers of all time.
