They're not all sidescrolling platformer adventures. There are also fun mini-games like Megaton Punch, where you can devastate the entire planet with a strong enough punch, and Samurai Kirby, which is a reaction time game where you have to be the first to push a button once you're given the signal, which is more tense than you might think! There's also Gourmet Race, which is a three-stage series of races against King Dedede. That's probably my least favorite game in Kirby Super Star because, as you might expect, it's not difficult to win, and I'm not a speed runner type of gamer who enjoys trying to beat his own best times. You can also fight all the bosses from every game in a continuous streak in the Arena, which is really fun. The Ultra version of the game has even more bosses, and there's also a Helper to Hero mode where you have to beat the bosses solo as one of Kirby's buddies. That one is really fun because you have to learn how to use each power effectively to win. As far as the platforming adventures go, the first two (Spring Breeze and Dyna Blade) are fairly short and straightforward games, although I do like the last boss fight in Dyna Blade. They start to mix things up in the Great Cave Offensive, which is a non-linear adventure where the goal isn't just to beat all the levels and bosses, but also to find the various treasures (usually references to other Nintendo franchises) littered throughout. This one might have the best boss in the game with the Computer Virus/Battle Windows, which is a parody of old style RPG battles. Revenge of Meta Knight is a really cool cinematic experience where Kirby goes from place to place as Meta Knight and his flunkies banter about it. I feel like this game was the precursor and/or inspiration for Subspace Emissary with just the way it's laid out, and there's a sense of urgency since you have a time limit on each level. The final battle with Meta Knight and the escape on the Wheelie afterward is a really cool sequence. My favorite game might actually be Milky Way Wishes though. I just like the setting and the worlds here. Plus, this is the one game where you have the various powers in your inventory when you find them, and you can access them whenever you want. The final boss here is very fun and surprisingly challenging for a Kirby game. I mentioned the Ultra version that came out on the DS about a decade ago, and it added even more games! There's Revenge of the King, which is basically a darker and harder version of Spring Breeze, culminating in a steel cage match against a masked Dedede. The big new one is Meta Knightmare Ultra, where you get to play through all the platforming games as Meta Knight, including his own game, so you have to struggle with the existential crisis of him destroying his own ship! He's nearly as broken in this game as he is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Seriously, you can tear through all those levels effortlessly with him, so naturally, the only suitable final boss could be an evil Meta Knight clone! Overall, Kirby Super Star was my introduction to the series, and while his games are usually pretty fun, I haven't found one to match this one yet.
