If you don't agree with certain points,then *crag* you,i'm not arguing with any of you about it.
Also,this is as unbiased as it gets.
.
Code:
Overall rank key for normal games.
0:You should slap yourself everythime you think about it.

1-5:Don't buy it.

6-10:Rental

11-15:Wait for the price to drop,then get it.

16-20:Full price buy,nao.

Code:
Old games Overall rank key
0:see normal ranking

1-5:see normal ranking

6-10:Ask for it as a gift

11-15:Get it on VC

16-20:Find the original on Amazon/Ebay.Nao.


Story:This was a good story for it's time.
A planet housing a magical crystal is attacked by a cloud of shadowy beings called Dark Matter.The brave Ribbon attempts to get the crystal out of the monsters grasp,but three of them shatter the crystal,sending the shards all over the solar system,and Ribbon is sent flying toward Pop Star.She lands on Kirby,who is always willing to help,sets out to find the crystal shards,and stop Dark Matter.
One thing to notice about the game,is that there is no dialouge,written or otherwise.I particularly like this type of plot development 2/2

Gameplay:Traditional Kirby gameplay.
Kirby gains powers from inhaling certain enemies.Not only that,but he can combine the abilities to gain one new ability.There are seven normal abilites,each of which has returned from previous Kirby games,though Kirby pulls some of them off differently.
Certain combo abilites are used in puzzles that require thinking,and are usually rewarded with the main collectable of the game,the crystal shards.
The minibosses aren't very unique,since they are basically oversized versions of the normal enemies.They don't even move sometimes,and let their buddies do the work.
The main bosses are inventive,and some of them even take unexpected turns,like Whispy Woods,who would normally be on one end of the screen as a big target,is sitting where you can't hit him directly until he attacks.
The combo powers are abit unoriginal at times.The single ability doubles usually lead to a bigger version of the ability that you would get if you kept it singular.The floating is now limited,but I actually see this as a good thing,considering how cheap it is to fly across the top of the screen all the time.
7/10

SFX:The sound effects are vivid,and well preformed,though some don't fit exactly what is happening2/3

Music:The music in this game is abit limited,but they all fit the mood of the level.The boss music fits each type of boss well.3/3

Graphics:The important characters are all fully rendered 3-D models.
The minor enemies are,more often than not,bits of 3-D graphics linked to a sprite that always faces the camera.
However,i'm not taking a point off for that,since this game was made when 3-D consoles were relatively new.
2/2,with the mindset of the generation in mind.

Overall:15/20
I recommend it for those who are a fan of Kirby games,and want a challenge,but if you don't like the cute and bubbly nature it projects,just wait until the Final Boss.

This was my first dark toned video game. D: Now time fore me to go crazy, btw.

I beat miracle matter, and I had this one card that had a boss I never fought on it, and I'm all 'dude, wtf! there's another boss!' But they didn't believe me... they thought I was crazy. CRAZY! But I knew, oh, I knew, so I went off to collect all the crystal shards, no walkthrough because I didn't use them back then, and after a looooong time of trying to find this one near impossible shard in the volcano level, I was like, 'dude, wtf is going on? Hello? Oh noez! There's another level!' And so I went there, and when I went through it, I was all 'duuuuuude. His eye is liek bleeding, and he has a halo, and why is his penis a cactus? 0_0'

And I neeeeeever was sane again.
