Yeah, one of the impressive things about the Game Boy Color (and even the Super Game Boy) were _certain_ games (mostly first-party) were programmed to use a specific color palette that the devs thought was most suitable to the game. Hence the Game Boy Color showing a pink Kirby. It was quite a shock when I first saw the white marshmallow was actually pink! XD
I had a pretty similar Kirby experience, starting with Adventure, and then to Super Star before eventually finding this game at a Best Buy for like $15. I'm pretty sure I knew it was a simpler game with no copy abilities before buying it, even back then. I don't think it's really all that unfair to judge it's short length, even as a Game Boy game. I mean, at this point, games like Final Fantasy Legend and Metroid II were already out, and Super Mario Land 2 was only two months away
Funny thing is a lot of old games are really short, they just throw in Yellow Devil or Bowser Castles with specific correct paths to drag them out, though I'd also argue a lot of them are more replayable.
4:37 Mummy bandages guys are called mumbies and they have been in every mainline kirby game including Forgotten land. I forgot they existed too and only found this while googling their name. Are they dead waddle dees? Why are they just a floating eye?

The Mega Man thing made me think it was either always a generic set or random. That's pretty neat.

Haven't watched his stuff in a while. Did he do something similar?
@@ExploDjinnHe actually did a Kirby video a few days ago.
I guess Megaman fans just have Kirby on the brain xD
This game was actually kind of hard on the Game Boy. A lot of projectiles and enemies were easy to miss with the low contrast
And I imagine the tiny screen didn't help. Kind of makes me want to try it on original hardware.

I remember seeing them in Crystal Shards but not really in the other ones. I'll have to keep an eye out.
