Andy Serkis everyone

Today's game is Kirby's debut, which is no excuse to make Kirby anything but pink on the box art

I don't know if I should count ertyu's vote because I don't know whether this a Kirby game that he has played and hates or just hates because it is Kirby

It's still fun to go through since it's so short, but I wouldn't put it ahead of many Kirby games, if any.

5/10

For its time, it was a cute, very playable game with a really nice concept and some pretty good music, but even when it was brand new and I was only six years old I found it deeply lacking in length and depth compared to the likes of Mario and Mega Man. It's fairly reasonable for a normal person to beat the game in about 20 minutes without even doing anything weird. Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Adventure came out quickly to resolve the length and depth problems, fortunately, but Dream Land is really just a brief intro to Kirby as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, one other thing I do like about it though is that it's the only Kirby game that's actually dedicated to the sucking up and spitting out mechanic. Let's face it, once copy powers became a thing in the very next Kirby game, the sucking up and spitting out thing takes a major backseat. Kirby's Epic Yarn was the first game to actually return to that idea (and improve on it) and I appreciated that a lot.

5/10

Too short and frankly unspectacular. I do echo Para's thoughts on the sucking up vs. copy powers bit though. It's certainly interesting to see a suck-only game... but I wouldn't want to see it again (KEY not withstanding).

Way too short and simplistic, but fun otherwise.
