  • Over the years, Kirby Super Star still has a community dedicated to exploring, routing, and trying to speedrun the game as fast as possible. A lot of people who have run the Kirby series enough have debated that this particular title may in fact be the most difficult of them all, with it notoriously being very RNG heavy and fast paced. Let's dive into the current fastest ever completion (Any%), and analyze why this run is as challenging as people say it is.

    KSS truly is a technical tour de force. It's up there with Super Metroid, Mario 64, you name it. I've loved following this game over the years watching great runners like 0xwas, usedpizza, and a ton more. Yotta is absolute GOAT material. Happy to see you shine some light on it!

    Kirby Super Star is such a great game and it's awesome there are people still running it. I always found the movement in the original so... distinct. I just like it the best. I'm so fascinated by folks playing it this sharply also. I enjoy the speedruns and LOVED the 4 player race they did at Games Done Quick that one year. Anyway, FANTASTIC video!!! Thanks so much!

    Cool to see videos about Kirby speedruns! I have no KSS experience but I do have plenty of experience with KSSU speedruns (Even though I'm like not that great at it). I feel like I don't often see content about it compared to others. But yeah it being dominated by Wheel and Jet doesn't particularly surprise me.

    3:36 Although I started with the original (via Kirby's Dream Collection on Wii), I'm more used to Super Star Ultra now. I'm genuinely surprised that Spring Breeze isn't needed to unlock Milky Way Wishes on SNES. In the DS version, all that's unlocked by default is Spring Breeze and three touchscreen mini-games.
    Doing some research, beating Green Greens (not even necessarily all of Spring Breeze) is apparently enough to unlock Gourmet Race, Dyna Blade, and Great Cave Offensive. But the same source also claims that unlocking Milky Way Wishes requires you to "Complete all prior sub-games", so you still have to at least clear Spring Breeze. Not sure if you can skip Gourmet Race on DS.
    Point is, I thought the SNES version required you to clear Spring Breeze, Great Cave Offensive, and Revenge of Meta Knight to unlock Milky Way Wishes.

      @nippo4512 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      What you're referring to is an old emulator bug. It's due to poor SA-1 emulation, so when the game loads entities under heavy strain it may load the incorrect ones, hence random Nova / Marx fights (the Nova/Marx entity would be loaded instead of a common enemy)

      @NinjaDoilyn หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      It's really not awkward. If somebody tells you they are a woman/man, the pronouns follow from that. If somebody is nonbinary or otherwise uses less typical pronouns, then it will be unique enough to solidify in your mind easily. If you find it awkward there is a part of you still considering her as "male" in some way or another. That is the part of you that you must examine and modify.
      Telling people their existence is awkward for you is pretty bad form in general too. We don't need to hear that shit all the time.
