Did anyone play the PAL Version of Super Star (called "Kirby's Fun Pak")? In all versions I've played on original hardware there are these strange graphical glitches, pic related. These flickering lines move across the screen when there are enemies present. Did you get these? Are these due to a poor NTSC->PAL conversion?

I wanted to get into the series so I did the logical thing and start with the first game. I got bored quickly and drop it. Now thinking about it, if I were to help someone to get into the Mario series I would start them off with SMW or Mario 3 and not the first game.

So what is the best entry level game for the Kirby series?

Y'know what I miss in Kirby games? The supporting cast. Remember Rick, Coo and Kine? Remember Nago, Pitch and ChuChu? They were awesome. They really fleshed out Kirby's world and even Kirby himself. I never did like the infant caricature they portrayed him as in the anime. Hated it, actually. That carried onto the games themselves. In Dreamland 3, it's implied that he's at least a young adult who can speak. Add insult to injury, Sakurai didn't even work on most of the more known Kirby games. Super Star excluded. After Adventure, Shinichi Shimomura took over. He made the animal friends and the Dark Matter storyline. He also may have died after Nightmare in Dreamland. Even a search on Google does nothing. Overall, the Kirby games are still fun but the past Kirby games have a charm and appeal that just isn't captured in the newer games. That's how I feel personally. Plus, I liked how he looked in the older art.

Seeing this block move reminds me of how overpowered the SuperStar game was. Aside from that, he had all those powers, how his powers had powers, the ability to summon a helper to potentially do all the work for you with those same powers, and riding a Wheelie. I'm not saying it's bad thing, but it's like no later series could top that game probably.

I'm not much of a fan of KDL3. I bought Kirby's Dream Collection a while ago and played through all the games, and I thought 3 was the weakest of them all. I loved the art style, but the game was too slow. The levels were too long and empty. I would've loved to see something like KSS with KDL3's tilesets.

Although, I thought some of the scenery got in the way of gameplay. At certain points, clouds make it almost impossible to see what you're doing.

Same here. I have fun with the Kirby series, but I'd like them better if they (especially Kirby 64) didn't feel like Junior's First Platformer. I'd really like selectable difficulty options.

You guys ever think we'll get a Kirby game that has the ability variety of Kirby Super Star with the ability combining mechanic of Kirby 64?

Kirby's Dream Land was hilarious on hard mode. Those sea urchin enemies taking off either two or three bars of life a hit, certain enemies hitting you for 2 damage, everything is hyped up on speed, bosses are crazy fast and love being on your ass 24/7, it was the first time I actually saw a game over screen in a Kirby game.

Since all of /vr/ loves Earthbound so much, you might be interested in knowing that there's a song in Mother 3 in 29/16 time. What's more, there are tuplets at the end of each measure.

Agree.

The ability mixing mechanic was fun and I liked the different settings and characters, but the game was way too damn easy, even for a Kirby game. For fuck's sake, mixing the Bomb and Rock powers let you throw unlimited packs of dynamite that damaged an entire screen's worth of enemies. The only thing that was even remotely challenging was the Boss Rush mode.

Also, I though it was pretty stupid that Kirby pretty much moved at the same damn speed no matter if he was walking or running.

The remakes graphics just suck honestly. The backgrounds are all great huge jpegs and the environment's pseduo-realistic look clashes something awful with the flat cartoony style of the characters. By comparison the NES version's BGs are all animated and manage to look just as nice while actually looking like it blends in somewhat with the foreground.

Also hate the way most platforms of the remake are all suspended in midair like in this pic:

I'm playing Return to Dreamland now. It's alright. I'm not enjoying it as much as Adventure though.

The gameplay is solid and I can't make any solid complaints against it except it lack of difficulty. The game just feels a bit uninspired at points. It's all the things a Kirby game should be because it's a Kirby game, not because it really stands on its own legs.

Some of the songs are nice though and it looks pretty. The two player is also quite fun to play when stoned & or drunk.

Was just possessed by Dark Matter. Not really a bad guy.

Only a bad guy in that game that's a short rehash of Dream Land.
Ultra adds Revenge of the King, but this is just a harder version of the game that's a short rehash of Dream Land.

>Dream Land 3
See: Dream Land 2.

>Crystal Shards
See: Dream Land 2. Is an ally afterwards.

Kirby assumes Dedede stole his slice of cake and so beats him up for no good reason.

Haven't played, but I doubt Dedede's some huge bad guy in it. I know he ain't the final boss at the very least.

Is an ally.

Is often a guy you compete against, but isn't really a villain by any means.

So, I haven't really played any Kirby games outside of the 64 one and Nightmare In Dreamland. I've been wanting to get into this series, but I'm not quite sure where to go. I'm leaning towards Super Star Ultra or Dream Land 3. I tried Adventure, but I didn't really like it much.

If you can make a vacuum effect in Doom or sourceports then you should be fine. I see no reason why you couldn't make something where monsters are around to vacuum in and get powers.

Or you could do the easy way and use those power-up things that are in Return to Dream Land and other Kirby games. You know, where it's just sitting like a statue and you grab it and then you have the power.

The bigger difficulty to me is making all of the special moves and combos work. There's a lot of button input magic that goes into them, it'd be like making Smash Bros. in Doom.

It seems like Nintendo has been taking a much safer approach to their character designs for the past 10 years or so.

I'm sure it makes the art design process much easier and makes the games more marketable to kids, but I really think we've lost something along the way.

Oh yeah, I guess you're right. I was sorta thinking that attacks would be more like Kirby's Adventure-style, with only one type of attack for each copy ability.

Kirby was, and always will be, a game made exclusively for children.

Kirby's Dream Land was magical when I was 3, when Zelda was too intense for me and Final Fantasy involved too much reading.

Playing it again, I can see it for the fact that it is a 30-minute-long snoozefest of extremely average playability, noteable only for its fanciful music and creatively cute graphics.

Even when copying was introduced, the game gained little depth, because not one ounce of commensurate exploration, replayability, or difficulty was added. The main driving force was always simplicity, because Kirby is a franchise that above all needs to be a pick-up-and-play title for even a five-year-old girl.

Just thought of another problem. KSS has almost no front/back sprites, only side, especially for helpers & other enemies. This'll need a lot of sprite editing if I implement a bunch of copy abilities and non-Kirby characters.

I love the dynamic of Kirby back when he only had sucking and spitting abilities. Powers are nice, but it lost that fun basic because now everyone grabs the first power they see.

So I don't know if I'd call it 'weakest'... but almost definitely shortest.

Ticks are enemies that'll attack if you go over them with their spike. The joke is that Kirby grew legs and now it's trying to show both it's feigned and actual face. Japan has a fairly unique sense of humor. I only saved that because of those legs.

Another problem I have with Kirby. I don't like how rounded and cute he became. NOT that he wasn't already cute, it just came as a secondary thing. Older art depicts him with a wide arrange of emotions and personality. Now he's either smiling, angry or has that blank look on his face. It's something that bothers me. Look at this. You'll never see anything like this in a Kirby game ever again.

I'll try to put it in a different way. Kirby was cute, but that wasn't really all his character design showed. As you can see in the pic I posted, Kirby can show more than one emotion. Now, if that picture were from a modern Kirby game, he'd have a blank look on his face, oblivious to what he possibly caused. That's what I'm trying to say. Older Kirby was cute, but had a sense of what he was doing. Modern Kirby is cute without any other emotion and not knowing what's going on around him. All art either shows him angry, happy or looking like an idiot. I blame the anime and every game cover after Tilt N' Tumble.

Just recently played the 64 version again, compared to super star it is really dull and slow but the power combos are addicting. I spent most of my time fucking off trying to combine different things even though I mainly just forgot what did what and had the same power a million times ( fucking fire arrows, worthless)
I liked the cutter and rock, turning into animal friends was fun. I was sure you could turn into a fish underwater with that but of course the fish never happens underwater and even if it did it's a fucking rock what did I expect to happen?

Anyway

Pretty short, pretty easy, pretty damn slow.
I like it

Well, there's the NES game with all the abilities, and it's still pretty challenging. There's the Gameboy game which doesn't have any copy abilities, but it can be beaten in half an hour, and is quite brutal if you turn on the hard mode cheat.

Then, of course, there's the SNES games. You can't really go wrong with any of them, but Super Star is a bunch of fun, it's basically a bunch of different games in one cartridge.

Considering the person behind the animal friends (Shinichi Shimomura) is rumored to be dead, it might be quite a while before we see anything to that effect.

Kirby's got an interesting way of parenting, though. For food, he forces Whispy Woods to pelt the chicks with his apples, one of the few food items that damages Kirby. He also seemingly doesn't care when one of the chicks plummets to the ground when he's teaching them to fly.

Pretty much anything. Kirby is one of those rare series where there is not a single bad game and all of them give a good idea of what Kirby is about (except for maybe Epic Yarn, Mass Attack, and Canvas Curse - not to say those are bad games, just different). I would recommend playing Kirby 64 and Super Star Ultra (because the remake is superior) sometime early though.

I missed out on this game during my childhood, I finally picked up an NES emulator yesterday and figured I'd give it a shot.

Oh my God. This is one of the most perfect NES games and just in general games I've ever played. 3 attacks and 2 buttons. More enemy variety than most AAA releases. So much charm and character. Kirby is responsive and controls tight, it's so much fun, and the music puts even SMB 3 to shame, and that was (and still is) my favorite NES game.

I missed out on Kirby during my childhood. I'm gonna have to go back and find all the old Kirby games I have now. I might even get a DS just to play some Kirby.

Kirby has a number of attacks actually.

Sure there's suck, spit, and air blast. But if you fall from a high enough place that his face turns downward, you will do damage to whatever you land on. Also he has a slide kick which can come in handy.

There was a program in the works for Adventure, but it ended up being abandoned due to lack of interest. Apparently KSS is very complex too.

I can't beat the last challenge stages in Dream Collection with platinum medals... Kirby games may be easy as hell, but some of the optional content is brutal.

By the way, anyone have that picture that's like, Kirby, next to a giant skull with a boner ejaculating blood popping out of its face? Someone made it in response to how dark and tone-clashing Kirby games' final bosses are.
