I saw this thumbnail and came running. I can never forget this game. I played as an emulator during high school and then got the hard copy years later. I enjoy the game a lot 🥹
I remember. Kirby Quest was an awesome sub-game, and Necrodeus is basically the only Kirby boss to actually put Kirby in legitimate mortal peril…. for about two minutes.
Cool beans. For one reason or another, I just never got around to collecting that game. If I do find it though, I would love to play it. Not only does it have Necrodeus, one of my favorite villains in the entire series, it has possibly the most substantial sub game collection up until RTDL DX. I especially love how some of them reference the anime, especially Kirby Quest.
This actually makes me happy because mass attack was my first kirby game, so I have soft spot for it. Pretty bittersweet to see there’s people who still remember it, it’s an underrated gem
I will say that Kirby Mass Attack is one of the toughest games to 100% in the Kirby Franchise (Maybe only beaten by Kirby Dreamland's challenge mode, Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, and Super Kirby Clash but Clash is just more grindy). To 100% the game, you need to clear every stage without taking any damage. You have to manage ten Kirbies and make sure no stray nuts land on them, that's also with them taking up half the screen. The medals are there, but pretty easy. They might make you play a level multiple times, but you only need a no-hit run once. There's also a challenges tab where you need to do some spare objectives. Some are alright, like beating a certain amount of enemies. Others are brutal, complete a level without getting trapped, burned, or choosing the wrong door. These mainly add onto the no damage runs, but they still make it extra strict. And lastly are the minigames. Like Garf said, these games are pretty much arcade games that can take half an hour to beat each. While not as as strict, they have an "The Arena" minigame.
Those no hit runs were brutal. The world 4 boss with the cannon needing to be aligned just right or you'd get launched into spikes was awful trying to do with how slow the fight is but damn was the music good.
Damn, exact same experience of enjoying it and always wondering why I never heard anyone else talk about it. It was absolutely an enjoyable experience, despite its flaws, and the sub games really were SUPER robust. Would absolutely love to see it return in some way, somehow…
Kirby mass attack was my very first kirby game i played as a kid and i absolutely loved it and i do agree that this game definitely deserves more recognition.
One thing I will never forgive HAL for is, when they gave the return to dreamland soundtrack official track names, they named one song the exact same as one in Mass attack. So now “Woods Wayfarer” is a return to dreamland song to most, but I always remember where that name really came from.
Mass Attack always is going to have a special place in my heart, it was my first Kirby game and i loved it, the story, the gameplay, the art style and the music were an amazing new experience for me bc i only played mario games at that age LMAO and now im a sucker (No pun intended 💔) for the Kirby franchise
kirby mass attack was one of the first games I got on my DS, and it was one of my favorite games for that system. it’s sad how it doesn’t get enough love 😢
what an absolutely cute and sytlistic video, i love the presentation it's just bursting with charm D: i played through all mainline kirby games and decided to do mass attack too, it's such a unique gem that reminds me of the peak of the ds era
This was my first kirby game and I adore it, so seeing a video covering it is always a treat. In fact I recently went back and 100%'d it, all gold stars (would not recommend btw) and to anyone claiming kirby is too easy, may I introduce them to getting a gold star on the world 4 mini-boss rush. A great video and fun nostalgia trip.
I could never forget about Kirby Mass Attack, it was one of my favorites back in the day! It was super creative how they made all the silly little features work and the sub games were crazy fun! Also the little Poyo noises the Kirbys make are so adorable! ❤️
I like the idea that the kirbies don’t know they’re being controlled by the player and are just trying to get the star that shows up when you press the screen
I remember that Kirby Mass Attack was one of the first games I played on my DS when I was a kid. Even though I'm eighteen now and don't play with my DS anymore, Kirby will always be my favorite character from Nintendo.
A pleasant reminder that Night Desert is just Sky Sands from Kirby Air Ride! Amazing game that it is! It also has plenty of other amazing tracks and i strongly urge anyone who may not have played it to try it!
Just so you know the reason Daroach and the squeak squad are in this game is because Daroach actually tells you (albiet incredibly vaguely) to collect the rainbow medals because according to him they lead to treasure or something like that essentially this crucial information is hidden in dialogue which is incredibly forgetful and skipable he does also have hints and tips for other levels but as a kid playing this game whenever he was talking i almost immediately forgot what he was talking about thinking it was just stuff about the level i was in(because he typically talks to you after you game over in a stage) or red herrings just for flavor text just thought id clarify since i suppose they do technically tell you that you should collect them but dont outright say its needed for progression
Daroach does talk about a "treasure" but I don't believe that he implies that it is necessary for progression. At least the way I gleamed his lines was that the treasure would give me some optional reward, but I will admit I was not super paying attention to his lines.
Kirby mass attack was the first Kirby game I’ve ever played and was my all time favorite during my childhood, it’s such a fun game and I’m sad that it’s not talked about enough.
i remember when i was young and i had just gotten an r4 flashcart, i was so happy because i had lost my kirby squeak squad cartridge, so but while looking it up, i found mass attack (for context, i knew squeak squad under the name mouse attack, which is why mass attack showed up lol) and i remember spending such a long time on it!
Sometimes i dont care if a game is popular or not, just get them to play, but ive never known in my 12 years of having a 3ds (i had the cartridge of the game) that KMA was super underrated
OMG YES FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABOUT KIRBY MASS ATTACK I NEVER FORGOT I LOVE KIRBY MASS ATTACK AND THE MOMENT I SAW THE THUMBNAIL I KNEW. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY YESSSS KIRBY MASS ATTACK AAAHHHHHHH
I remember fawful’s minion talk about this in a top ten list. Kirby mass attack. A game pf cuteness. Of happiness And even…Forced interactions… Ok this game is violent beyond belief.
I haven’t played this game in Years, but I have a lot of fond memories and this reminds me of why. A perfect game by any means? No, not even close. But it’s unique, fun and cute. It’s memorable and stands out with strange ideas and that’s why it’s so great, I love it because it’s special.
Kirby Mass Attack was still a bit of a remnant in Triple Deluxe because by collecting Keychains you we're being told from which Kirby game the character of the keychain came from, there's some from Mass Attack too, most are from Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
Cannot believe I found this cause this game was my closest kirby game to my heart next to super star ultra and squeak squad! I finished the game and I adore it so much
I love this game so much. I played it so much, and I would literally play the music when I was in bed at night. I have a lot of good memories with Mass Attack. I didn’t know that it wasn’t very popular.
I remember the middle school I used to go gave out the sticker sheets for this game and it's pretty fun to plaster them on devices like Laptop,Phone,Wii,DS,and 3DS (also the game is so damn underappreciated)
I had only ever played Mass Attack back when the Wii Shop had that downloadable demo thing that you had to locally connect your DS to the Wii and play a Demo of the game that way. I wonder how many people also remember that? I bought Mass Attack right before the Wii U eShop closed, so after all these years I actually have the chance to play it lol. I fell in love with Mass Attack as a kid, and was probably my first exposure to Kirby. Either that or Return to Dreamland.
Kirby mass attack was the first game I’ve ever played when I was 9 and never finished but gonna cause of the memories this vid unlocked Only got past the first level back then
kirby mass attack used to be my favourite kirby game in the entire series, until return to dreamland released, which made it my second favourite. it breaks my heart seeing it as underrated as it is, because it really is such a good game. also! as for playing this on an emulator... buying a cheap drawing tablet makes the game a LOT more fun to play on an emulator and it really does feel like you're playing it on what is as close to a DS as a computer can be.
I love this game. My grandpa gifted it to me as a kid and it was so fun. Still have it too! Very unique concept and gimmick. Plus the Kirby RPG mini game is one of my favorites in the series. I agree with thr end game being a complete drag. Made the game go from a 9/10 to a 8/10 game. Glad to see someone finally make an in-depth video about it
I really love Kirby Mass Attack for its fun gameplay and cuteness. The graphics are also nice. My main problem with the game was that my copy refused to properly save. Everytime I quit playing and started it back up I would have to start all over. Apparently the game is supposed to automatically save my copy doesn't no matter how many times I beat a level.
The thumbnail is both cute and depressing. Way to get me to click on the video by tugging on my heart strings.
The kirby kittens
theyre so sad :(
Poor little Kirbos :(
I saw this thumbnail and came running. I can never forget this game. I played as an emulator during high school and then got the hard copy years later. I enjoy the game a lot 🥹
They got themselves in the Spamton predicament
“Remember Kirby Mass Attack?”

as a massive Kirby fan, I'm sad everyone forgot this game, I MEAN LOOK AT THE TINY KIRBYS
kirby is adorable, even as a tiny thing xd
I've never forgotten about this game. Kirby just seems even cuter in this game.
Honestly it’s my favorite Kirby game
THINK OF DA TINY KIRBYS👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹
Don't trust anyone who only knows Kirby Mass Attack as the game where The Skeleton Appears came from.
I’m kind of the opposite, I was flash banged replaying the game for this because I totally forgot it was from this game lol
I actually loved the meme because it gave Mass Attack some recognition.
THAT MEANS I SHOULDN'T TRUST VERNIAS AS GE PLAYED THE GAME TWICE?!
I remember. Kirby Quest was an awesome sub-game, and Necrodeus is basically the only Kirby boss to actually put Kirby in legitimate mortal peril…. for about two minutes.
I still have mass attack and play it when I need to destress
Cool beans. For one reason or another, I just never got around to collecting that game. If I do find it though, I would love to play it.

🚨TOUHOU PFP SPOTTED🚨
COMMENT LIKED
Never played a touhou game, still liked the comment
Bro I thought I was the only one!!
same
I firmly believe mass attack is one of the best kirby spinoff games. It’s no airride but it’s also no canvas curse.
This actually makes me happy because mass attack was my first kirby game, so I have soft spot for it. Pretty bittersweet to see there’s people who still remember it, it’s an underrated gem
it was my first DS game to begin with so I feel you
This was my first Kirby game too! I never realized how underrated it was. I should play it again. The Night Desert music is so good!!
Same! It was what made me like Kirby
THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD KIRBY GAME YOU JUST DUG INTO MY BRAIN AND DUSTED OFF OLD MEMORIES AND NOW IM CRYING THIS IS NOT A JOKE
Immediately when seeing the thumbnail I knew what game it was…
Kirby’s mass attack is still one of my favorite games of all time.

This was my first Kirby game, and it’s probably the one I played the most.
Damn, exact same experience of enjoying it and always wondering why I never heard anyone else talk about it. It was absolutely an enjoyable experience, despite its flaws, and the sub games really were SUPER robust. Would absolutely love to see it return in some way, somehow…
I never forgot about Kirby Mass Attack. Love that game. I remember the later parts of it being a little hard
Kirby mass attack was my very first kirby game i played as a kid and i absolutely loved it and i do agree that this game definitely deserves more recognition.
So basically Kirby Pikmin fusion
Oh… GIVE ME THE GAME NOW!
Sorta..
I'll never forget you mass attack. No matter how many people neglect you I never will
You've convinced me to play this game. I literally just ordered a copy. It looks fun enough to justify the price.
This game always occupies a special place in my heart. Also, the tank theme slaps.
Nuh-uh, kirby mass attack will always be my favorite kirby, it was my 1st kirby game and i will never forget it.
If only we got another Kirby game like this, Mass Attack would be perfect for mobile in particular
One thing I will never forgive HAL for is, when they gave the return to dreamland soundtrack official track names, they named one song the exact same as one in Mass attack. So now “Woods Wayfarer” is a return to dreamland song to most, but I always remember where that name really came from.
I see Kirby,I click, I see 9 Kirby’s, I click 9 times
This game, never played but know for damn sure kirby would've died at the beginning
I fear his heroic heart is too strong
@@biggarffan37 it looks like fun though, wish it and canvas curse was more talked about despite its, fun movement
I love mass attack I still play it when I bust out my ds here and there :)
Kirby mass attack was always my favorite kirby game. I replay it every few months for years. It's peak
I haven’t forgotten this game. The music, the space themed levels, and the final boss were so cool.
the first kirby game i ever personally owned, and still a personal favorite of mine
I remember playing this game when i was younger and fell in love with the blue kirby colloring
Another goated Garf vid. Might have convinced me to finally check out Mass Attack
I fear you must
This brought so much nostalgia, I’m still very fond of my DSi & 3DS. This video was amazing! Keep up the amazing work.
Mass Attack always is going to have a special place in my heart, it was my first Kirby game and i loved it, the story, the gameplay, the art style and the music were an amazing new experience for me bc i only played mario games at that age LMAO and now im a sucker (No pun intended 💔) for the Kirby franchise

I can't even imagine going for that lol. Do you get any rewards for doing it?
@@biggarffan37 you get uhh a congratulatory png and a little star on the save file screen...
@@bup7879 ohhhh Nintendo…
Classic… lol
In kirby games, locking the good ending behind some cumbersome collecting mission is tradition.
I could never forget about Kirby Mass Attack, it was one of my favorites back in the day! It was super creative how they made all the silly little features work and the sub games were crazy fun! Also the little Poyo noises the Kirbys make are so adorable! ❤️
This is my favourite Kirby game ever, as well as the first Kirby game I ever played. Thanks so much for covering it!
sometimes i forget canvas curse even exists ngl i couldve sworn that mass attack was more popular
Literally pikmin: 3:43
As a pikmin fan this might be why i love this one so much...
GRAHHH I LOVE KIRBY MASS ATTACK, got this when it came out as a gift from my ma, also love how it had so many right back at ya references
I like the idea that the kirbies don’t know they’re being controlled by the player and are just trying to get the star that shows up when you press the screen

OH THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER VIDEO GAME MAN
SO MANY MEMORIES I MISS IT
This practically introduced into gaming and made it a part of my life forever.
If one kirby can destroy gods, who knows what TEN OF THEM can do
A pleasant reminder that Night Desert is just Sky Sands from Kirby Air Ride! Amazing game that it is! It also has plenty of other amazing tracks and i strongly urge anyone who may not have played it to try it!
Oh nice! I didn't know that :)
Amazing video covering everything.
You've earned a sub!

I read the title of the video and immediately knew it was Mass Attack. Such an amazing part of my childhood
This is my first ever Kirby game and I would always love it because of that. Also it is God Ranked on my Kirby Game TierList.
Mass Attack I remember buying when I was a kid. Still one of my favorite entries in the franchise.
Kirby mass attack was the first Kirby game I’ve ever played and was my all time favorite during my childhood, it’s such a fun game and I’m sad that it’s not talked about enough.
Kirby Mass Attack gave me my Internet name, MetaSkully. Without it, I wouldn’t have Metaskully as a name.
As Itionoben once put it, Kirby was the go-to face for when Nintendo wanted to experiment with a new concept.
I beat the game fully and it was my first ever kirby game on my DSI so it was a great start for getting into the kirby series
I have a habit for loving games that others hate or forgot them like Sonic Forces...
And now that i know this game its one of them I LOVE THIS
Thank you Big Garf, Very cool.

This game was my first ever Kirby game and it’s so wierd cuz it got me into the main ones even when it’s nothing like them
I still remember buying this game at Wal-Mart as a kid and stealthily playing it while I was grounded
I actually went back and replayed this game a few months ago! This is one of my favorites

Cannot believe I found this cause this game was my closest kirby game to my heart next to super star ultra and squeak squad! I finished the game and I adore it so much
I love Kirby Mass Attack so much, its one of my childhood favourite DS games 🥺
kirby mass attack was my first kirby game
Dude i started emulation recently and found a mass attack rom and FELL IN LOVE its so fun
Ain't no way I've forgotten about it, mass attack was my childhood. I even made a fanart of it.

I didn’t forget about Kirby mass attack, I just gave up on it because it was too hard for me to beat. I loved it when I was a kid.
The first kirby game I played. Followed by amazing mirror. I haven't played the more normal games.
Y'know, I think that the only reason I can't forget about this game was because it was my first Kirby game.
As a large Kirby fan I forgot about this game, but seeing the thumbnail of the game made me remember it slightly. I’m disappointed in myself.
