Kirby-Tastic

Strengths: Excellent gameplay and variety.

Weakness: May harm people who don't like cute pink blobs. Some mini-games are sort of lame.

Kirby Super Star Ultra is a fantastic game, featuring several unique takes on the Kirby theme, ranging from exploration and treasure-hunting to boss rushes to mad dashes through timed levels. Super Star is likely the best Kirby game ever, with lots of interesting power-ups and abilities to keep things fresh. Highly recommended for 2D action/platformer fans.
