 Best Kirby Game....BY FAR! September 29, 2008

I waited for this game for months and now I have my hands on it.
Did I like it? Well, the title of this review should state it!
BEST KIRBY GAME BY FAR!
KSSU is everything Superstar on the SNES was but add in NICER graphics,
some new Boss Themes, "Revenge Of The King", "MetaKnightmare Ultra","True Arena", "Helper To Hero", NEW Bosses, 3 Touchscreen Mini Games, some nice cutscene movies on top of everything that's already there and you got yourself an EVEN more incredible Kirby game!
Seriously, I don't think I have anything bad to say about KSSU. It's just THAT good. Yeah, the games go by rather quick and it's not insanely difficult but trust me you will be kept entertained for hours on end trying to get that oh so perfect 100% rating on your game file! I know
I was.
Hats off to the pink ball! After the decent Squeak Squad & pretty original interesting Canvas Curse....he has a NICE Revamp comeback
game on the DS that he can truly be proud of. If you are a Kirby fan...
do yourself a favor, stop reading and BUY IT NOW!

KSSU is a enhanced remake of Kirby Super Star with similar graphics to the recent Kirby Squeak Squad. Also for the first time in a Kirby game there are full 3D cutscenes.
Essentially each of the games in this collection are bite sized versions of the normal Kirby games and each game slightly tweaks the traditional Kirby gameplay. In the other Kirby games (except the original Kirby's Dream Land) Kirby can copy powers from most enemies but one hit will knock that power out of you. In most of these games it takes multiple hits to lose a power and powers have different effects depending if you are moving, jumping, charged up, etc.
All of the main games and one of the minigames from the original are included in addition to a few new games. Here is a brief description of the games included.
Spring Breeze: This is made up of screens and bosses from the first Kirby game, Dream Land. There is also a two player mode, with player two as a helper.
Dyna Blade: An original adventure similar to SB in gameplay, but with a world map.
The Great Cave Offensive: There are 60 (somewhat) hidden items to collect. There are some fun Nintendo items to find like a Koopa shell, the Triforce, and Captain Falcon's helmet.
Gourmet Race: A race with King Dedede. You are trying to collect more food and get to the finish line before the King.
Revenge of Meta Knight: A timed game where you are trying to destroy Meta Knight's ship the Halberd. (You may recognize it from a board in Super Smash Bros. Brawl) Other crew members of the ship have increasingly concerned and amusing conversations as you progress.
Milky Way Wishes: You can't copy powers in this game, rather you have to find pedestals with powers on them. After collecting the powers you can freely switch at any time.
Arena: You fight all of the bosses.
The new games are:
Revenge of the King: Quasi-sequel to Spring Breeze. It is the same game with harder enemies and some level changes.
Meta Knightmare Ultra: Play the five main original games as Meta-Knight. MK can't copy powers, but has special moves that cost points that you get after defeating enemies.
Helper to Hero: Arena, but you play as a powered enemy instead of Kirby.
There are also a few mini-games: Samurai Kirby, Kirby Card Swipe, Kirby on the Draw, and Snack Tracks. (Samurai Kirby was in the SNES game, the others are new.) They really are nothing special, but they can be played with up to four players.
Together these games make up a great game collection, but all of them are very easy and quite short. If you liked the original KSS, you will like this game. A bit more of a challenge to the game would have been better, but I would easily recommend this to any DS owner.

Up on the block this time is another great Nintendo DS game for kids called Kirby Super Star Ultra. Yeah, I think it needs some more adjectives on the end of it too, but I digress. This is actually an old game that's been made new again with some new things thrown in just for the DS. The game is pretty straightforward. You're this pink ball with red shoes that can jump and fly. That's not very exciting, but there's one more thing you can do that makes this game so interesting.
You see, Kirby has some serious lung power because he can suck up various creatures in his way and assume whatever special powers they have. That's where the real action lies. Kirby can go from an unassuming huggable balloon to a sword-wielding, fire blowing, yo-yo throwing beast of destruction.
To make things even more fun, you can spit that creature back out. When you do, they've apparently had a change of heart while hanging out inside Kirby because they now follow you and help you out on your adventures. This is a great thing for beginners or younger kids because they can always have a little helper tagging along to make things a little easier on them.
And easy this game is. It's not one long challenge that takes a 20-hour-straight marathon to complete. Instead, it takes a much more approachable path by splitting the game into 6 different adventures. The first is a gentle intro to help you learn the controls that can be finished in about 10 minutes. From there on, the difficultly and length of the games ramp up. There's several unrelated mini-games that are mixed in for variety where you compete against yourself to continue to improve your best score.
From a parent's point of view, this is a great game. All the characters are more cute than scary. There's no graphic violence and the controls are pretty straightforward, though younger ones may need some help at first. If you have more than one DS, you can even join in and team up with them.
After daddy gave the game a test drive we handed it to our 6-year-old for his opinion before we wrote a review. That was over a week ago and we've been unable to tear him away from it since. He declared yesterday "this is my favorite game EVER". That's pretty impressive for a kid who's the product of two gamer parents and has 7 video game systems at his disposal. Kids these days!

Kirby is my 8-year old son's favorite video game character. He was counting down the days since we pre-ordered this game and it was definitely worth the wait.
