The guy just released a huge project, and now we want to throw him into a collab, which can be difficult to plan and organize to record and edit together? Let the guy breathe.

    Return to Dream Land being number one isn't a surprise to me. Mainly because of its remake.
    Two new copy abilities with their own respective Challenge Stages, *10* Minigames to play (nine of which return from previous entries and one being completely original albeit using an idea from the original Return to Dream Land), *86* Dress-Up Masks for Kirby and his friends to wear (including some surprising appearances), a new mode focusing on Magolor and what happened after the events of the main game *and* an upgraded True Arena that also has a surprising twist right at the final fight.
    Seriously, the original Return to Dream Land already had plenty of content to go through on its own, but HAL Labs say no to leaving it as is with some basic upgrades and just went and decided that we needed *more* content to play with.

      And at worse, they're boring due to some minor decisions, usually being multiplayer related actually now that I think of it. I mean, star allies, mandatory multiplayer, rainbow curse, put on the Wii u basically because of the desire for multiplayer despite not working with the control scheme. Legitimately, looking back, if they focused more on the single player, both would have been just as good as the other's, it's like Nintendo and hal needed to be reminded Kirby is single player first. Weird.

    I once saw a video that said return to drramland and forgotten land are connected in concept.
    You see, the ship that crashes in return to dreamland was build by a civilization that managed to develop dimensional travel, and in forgo labs the people who build it was studying the ultimate lifeform, a lifeform capable of opening portals to other dimensions.
    So the civilization that built the ship in return to dreamland is the same that used to live in the forgotten land. They just left when they got the ability to open portals and the wild life took over.

  • @dockingwater1713
    @dockingwater1713 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I’m not entirely sure what my full Top 10 looks like, but I can try my best to list off the ones I love the most of Kirby’s catalog of countless incredible games (not in any particular order until near the end)
    Kirby’s Blowout Blast: A really, really fun retelling of Kirby’s Dream Land with an addicting score attack gameplay loop that’s so tight nit that the game didn’t need copy abilities, although I actually don’t think a Kirby game needs to have Copy Abilities to be good. Case and point,
    Kirby’s Dream Land: Yes it’s short, yes it’s simple due to the lack of Copy Abilities. But I’ll be real, this beats out both Flagship games and the entire Dark Matter trilogy for me and none of those games except for 64 come close. The main game is just a joy to blast through and the Extra Mode is a genuine challenge and I love it for that. Plus, the cutscene of Kirby following Dedede off screen after it’s all said and done is still one of the best moments in the entire series.
    Kirby’s Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land: This is here for the same reasons listed in the video. Introduces Meta Knight and starts fleshing out Dedede’s character, it’s a great introduction of the Copy Abilities, and it’s just fun to play.
    Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards: Remember how I said it comes close to Dream Land? Well yeah it’s still really solid. Some of the Crystal Shards are a pain to get which docks it some points, but the charm, soundtrack, and ability mixing are good enough to mostly make up for that blemish. Mostly.
    Kirby Star Allies: Sure, the main game is short and easy, even by Kirby main game standards, but the Dream Friends and Elemental Mixing makes it fun enough for me to still enjoy it more than a handful of other games even without going over the incredible post game like Dream Land 2 or 3. But when you factor in the Post game, which is the single best in the series without much, if any, real competition, it becomes absolutely amazing. Guest Star Allies Go is the best speedrun mode in the series when factoring in the Dream Friend routes having entirely new rooms based off level design from past games, Heroes in Another Dimension is my second favorite post game mode in the series with great use of the Dream Friends and some really fun powered up bosses, and The Ultimate Choice (particularly Soul Melter EX) is the best Arena mode in the series with tons of replayability with all the Abilities, partners, and Dream Friends to choose from and providing a really difficult challenge if you want to limit yourself without Dream Friends or going in solo, really requiring you to master your Ability of choice and the elements it can use. Speaking of which, elemental mixing is super cool. Yeah it was introduced in Squeak Squad, but it was pretty limited there, where it was brought a lot further in Star Allies. Sure it doesn’t create fully new abilities like Ability Mixing did, but it does still drastically alter a bunch of different attacks for all the different weapon abilities and even Dream Friends like Marx and Susie. And on top of all that, Star Allies also just works as a massive love letter to the series before Kirby really jumped into the 3rd dimension.
    Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe: This remake on Switch took an already really solid Kirby game and patched up its biggest issue, being its post game. While serviceable, the Wii version’s post game only consisted of the Extra Mode, which didn’t do enough to make it stand out from the main game and the Speedrun modes in later titles, The Arena, something that admittedly hasn’t been that exciting to me in any game that isn’t Super Star/Super Star Ultra, and The True Arena, which is the weakest True Arena in the series besides Super Star Ultra’s. Meanwhile, Deluxe greatly reduces the healing items available in Extra Mode and gives every EX boss new pause text like the games that came after base RtDL, an entirely new post game mode in the form of the Magolor Epilogue, and added all of those bosses plus a harder version of Magolor Soul to the True Arena. Add on a bunch of returning tracks that weren’t in the original game sprinkled throughout the entire experience, 2 brand new abilities and another one that also wasn’t in the original, and the incredibly fun Merry Magoland, and you have the best remake in the series (yes, it beats *that* one imo)
    Kirby’s Epic Yarn: This game is just super cute and fun. Sure it’s not difficult and also doesn’t have copy abilities, but it’s just so charming that it doesn’t really need them imo. I just love the world of crafts and the soundtrack that plays throughout the game. Plus, if you want to 100% the game, some of the Gold Medals do provide some challenge at least.
    Kirby Super Star Ultra: While I think Return to Dream Land Deluxe is the better remake, that’s because I actually still think highly of Base Super Star, especially since the modes added in Ultra aren’t nearly as unique. Helper to Hero and The True Arena are just weaker versions of The Arena imo because of the lower number of bosses and Meta Knightmare Ultra, while fun, isn’t as good as Speedrun modes that come later. That being said, Revenge of the King and slight improvements to the modes found in base Super Star still makes Ultra my preferred version and it fights the next entry for my second favorite Kirby game
    Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Kirby’s first foray into 3D was a fantastic first attempt with great level design, great reworks of abilities, great evolution of Squeak Squad’s Ability scroll concept, a couple of the best fights in the series with the Knight and an incredible end to the King’s character arc, and the best post game mode in the series in the form of Forgo Dreams. The devs just translated Kirby into 3D so damn well. But it doesn’t quite top my number 1, which is…
    Kirby Planet Robobot: While it’s post game is beaten by other entries and it doesn’t do a lot to change the series, Meta Knightmare Returns is the second best speedrun mode in the series and it has some of, if not the best level design in the series, primarily because of how it utilizes the Robobot Armor and Kirby’s base moveset alike. Plus, the technological feel to everything and the twists near the end really help this game stand out among the rest for me.
    Sorry for the wall of text, but I really care about this series, so if anyone actually reads all of this, thank you for giving my nerdy rambles your attention.

    2. Forgotten land: the 3d Kirby game we've been waiting for and I'm beyond excited for the next game in the series
    3. The 3ds Duology: triple deluxe gave some of the best abilities and direction for the series and robo-bots has the best mechanics and bosses ever
    4. Star allies: it's insultingly easy but the lore dump and dlc blew me away
    5. Super star ultra: most replayable for me and the abilities are unforgettable
    6. Squeek squad: the squeeks, ability upgrades and story never fail to make me smile
    7. Amazing mirror: metroidvannia with Kirby and I want another game in the series like it
    8. Epic yarn: yes it's a spin-off but came at a time when I needed Kirby to make me smile and beyond holds up
    9: nightmare in dreamland: it's a remake of the original nes game but a good game becoming even better all of the yes especially for beginners of the series

    Star Allies is my personal favorite in the series.

To me, Star Allies more than delivered that for me, so I still look highly at the game to this day. Also, I love the Bluster-Staff ability.

    I don't know much about Kirby but "Air Ride" will go down in history as one of my favorite game cube games from my childhood. It's one of those games I would play with my friends every day after school. I have fond memories of us trying to reach our favorite vehicles first (we usually called them simple names like "The bird car," "The bat car," "The star car" "the other star car" etc) And that underground spot where all the vehicles spawn in "Free Play" mode? "The Car Shop" (hey we were fourth graders, give us some slack) lol.

    So the kirby franchise really has its fair share of great games like with mario and zelda have great games in theirs. It's basically a matter of perspective on which game is your favorite starring this adorable pink ball facing off against the sinister nightmare fuel that awaits.

    By the way if you haven't checked out Brawl in the Family it is a pg webcomic about video games that went for a number of years. It makes fun of all the absurdity of Nintendo video games and he still makes funny songs to this day check out "Bitfinity" or the game he made "Tadpole Treble".

    Little disappointed you didn't mention Return to Dream Land Deluxe in the last segment on how it improved on the original immensely with a smattering of new content like Magolor Epilogue and Merry Magoland (the latter bringing old and new mini games together with many fan favorites like Checkerboard Chase), as well as the new fun abilities of Sand and Mecha, and how much more insane The True Arena is this time (especially with how it really amps up the Magolor Soul fight). The improved graphics are also very nice with that game.
    Anyway, my top favorite is Planet Robobot, mainly because of how the Robobot Armor feels like an extension of the gameplay rather than some kind of gimmick that feels out of place with elements made specifically for it (like Hypernova) or something powerful that only really has a real purpose for that area of the stage (like the Super Abilities). Also, the new abilities of Doctor, Poison and ESP were super fun, and they brought back Smash Bros and even UFO. Plus, the stages and worlds were the most creative in the series, and the second EX stage in the Access Ark is amazing, especially with how it ends. Really, that right there has me hoping the Switch gets a Kirby 3DS Bundle before it eventually retires.

    2) Kirby air ride mostly cause of city trial and also i have yet to get an actual copy for my gc so i must emulate
    1) planet robobot for being the best game gameplay and gimmick wise.
    Honorable mentions go to triple deluxe for being tye most comfy title to go back to, rtdl for being jyst good, and amazing mirror despite the horrid enemy placement playing online with friends was the best thing i could ever ask on the switch

    A couple fun facts:
    Air Ride was the last game in the series that Sakurai directed. Aside from being a special advisor on Amazing Mirror, he would have nothing to do with the franchise going forward...well, aside from the blatant favoritism in Smash Bros.
    Sakurai voices King Dedede. Not all the time, just in Crystal Shards and Smash Bros.
    Kirby was named after Nintendo's lawyer John Kirby, who successfully defended Nintendo in court against Universal over an alleged copyright violation regarding Donkey Kong. They also thanked him with a $30,000 sailboat christened the Donkey Kong and according to Wikipedia, "exclusive worldwide rights to use the name for sailboats," as well as (rumor has it) a copy of Kirby's Dream Land.

    Surprised you didn’t mention Return to Dream Land DX at all, especially considering you mentioned the remakes of Adventure and Superstar. It added a fair bit of new content between the Magolor Epilogue and Merry Magoland, as well as the revamped True Arena and true final boss, and also expanded on the lore of the game considerably…not to mention retroactively establishing the Kirby Clash universe as canon and thus Galacta Knight’s first canon appearance. Overall, I’d say it expanded on the original game in some pretty noteworthy ways.

  • @kendricktruong5886

    Forgot about this list so I'm watching it right now
    Personally, i enjoy Epic Yarn and Star Allies, with Epic yarn as my favorite Kirby game as of now. And Star Allies, I had tone of a fun with.
    When it comes to the Kirby games, I will agree there is probably no bad games despite not playing them all... But that's for the mainline only. if there's one kirby game I might consider as the worst is Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, tho it was satifying beating it so there's that.
    10)Not looking forward for when i play this game
    9)Now i am looking forward to when i play Mass Attack
    4)Super Star Ultra, my first Kirby and it was a good time. I have not beaten true areana, but i should get to it at some point.
    I can probably guess the top 3... and i haven't even play planet Robobot yet
    3)Now i would like to see a sequel to planet Robobot... just without the spider part
    2)Forgotten land is a fun game. if i were making my own, i probably put this number 1, but at the same time, this game does look like a blueprint for when Kirby goes back to 3d... and honestly i rather play some more 2D kirby games before then. Either way, i love this game
    1)Geez I did not see that one coming- okay who else saw this coming? I also finally play this game on the switch and was not disappointed in it.
    I look at my ranking of the mainline kirby games, it looks like this
    5. Kirby's Dream Land
    4. Kirby Star Allies
    3. Kirby Super Star + Ultra
    2. Kirby and the Forgotten Land
    1. Kirby's Return to Dream Land + Deluxe
    I do want to play more Kirby games and in terms of gameplay and sometimes story, i think Kirby might beat Zelda as my favroite Nintendo Franchise
    This was a fun list and I'm happy i got to share a bit here
    Also i thought Copy Abilities would be the last list of the month

    Planet Robobot has been my overall favorite Kirby ever since it came out. After my initial playthrough of Forgotten Land (particularly after the fantastic finale), I did briefly reconsider whether Robobot had been surpassed for me, but in the end it still remained my favorite, and that stance has only been further cemented after replaying both games recently (in fact, there's a part of me that wonders if I like Return to Dream Land Deluxe more than Forgotten Land now thanks to the boatload of awesome new content added to that version). Planet Robobot is such a tight game that maintains a remarkably high level of quality throughout the whole experience, with very few dips or tedium. In my view, there are other Kirby games with higher highs than Robobot, but those games are not quite as consistently high as Robobot is.
    As excellent as Robobot is to me however, it is not insurmountable. If Forgotten Land's follow-up has more copy ability variety (which spice things up more on replays) and fine-tunes the mission system more, it may very well end up being my new favorite. Either way, I'm excited to see what they'll end up cooking.
    Star Allies also gets a special mention from me because it's by far the Kirby game I've played the most (almost entirely because of Guest Star). It feels weird calling it my favorite since the story mode is relatively shallow and unremarkable (I still had fun with it though because it's Kirby), but its extra modes are crazy good and some of the most fun I've ever had with this franchise.
