![]() Like Kirby 64, I feel like this game is a fairly basic entry into the series, with one sole “gimmick” that makes it stand out. It’s just not the best Kirby has to offer. It’s a fun, cute, and positively charming game. Now, if you’re a fan of this game, please understand that I didn’t dislike it. I have…kind of the same feeling when I play Dream Land 3. (Kirby’s rock ability in Kirby 64 can even transform into Kirby’s various animal friends in Dream Land 3.) While Kirby 64 is a fun enough game, it was not until I played the older Kirby Super Star, and the newer Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, that I realized just how great a Kirby game can be. Heck, each game even includes a level featuring some sort of bizarre structure in a desert. Both games share a familiar storyline involving Dark Matter, with familiar music, and even very similar King Dedede battles. Kirby’s Dream Land 3, much to my surprise, was clearly the inspiration for Kirby 64, my very first Kirby game. ![]() And now, in this post, I answer the question: do I regret taking so long to play this game? Well…yes and no. Finally, with the release of the SNES collection provided by the Switch Online service, I hadn’t any reason to ignore this game any longer. ![]() Whether in the form of a physical SNES cartridge or a quick download vie the Wii U Virtual Console, I have had multiple opportunities to play the game, but have always chosen to spend my money on the highly praised Kirby Super Star instead. For the last ten years, Kirby’s Dream Land 3 and I have kept passing each other by, with no more than mere glances in the other’s direction before ultimately going our separate ways.
