Epic Yarn did the no-death thing better

That's the other game that typically takes all the flak for not having deaths in it. It's different than Wario because it doesn't have any special mechanics behind it. It's more like a traditional platformer, just without a life system. When you fall in a bottomless pit, you just respawn at the last solid ground that you were standing on, but there's no arbitrary number decreasing, and no onscreen text saying "you have died". And apparently that's too radical a change for people to handle. People are always like "well there's no penalty for falling off the stage then". But there is, you lose a significant portion of your beads, which you need for ingame completion, even moreso than Wario's coins. Falling off or getting hit in Epic Yarn is even more detrimental than it is in Wario Land, and also more detrimental than it is in other Kirby games where you can simply tank hits with your extra health. Just because the game doesn't tell you that you died, it doesn't mean that it doesn't work the same way.
