    Players who enjoyed Drum Dash’s Triple Deluxe debut will absolutely love it, and anyone looking for a fresh take on musical platforming will have a blast. Dededelightful.

    This could be the basis for a fully fledged, cross-franchise Nintendo rhythm game - now there's something I'd pay good money for.

    Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe is almost a full fledged game with some neat features and a few lovely songs to play with. It's not very long, however, but totally worth its price.

    There are certainly better rhythm games out on 3DS, but it is fun while it lasts.

    Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe was an interesting mini-game packed into a good collection such as Kirby: Triple Deluxe, but it’s too short and too weak to live as a stand alone digital game.

    Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe may not be plentiful as far as its contents are concerned but what is to be found here is entertaining enough to keep any kind of player happy throughout some quick gaming sessions.

    Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe works quite well as a pastime, but its simplistic formula and a very short duration prevent us from recommending the game to those who aren’t addicted to Kirby’s universe.

    Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe may be plentiful in Nintendo charm and character, but ultimately, the gameplay itself is one-note and over-stretched.

    Despite being a cheap downloadable title, I feel like the developers could have done so much more with this mini-game, such as trying some different rhythm notations to mix up the gameplay.

    Unfortunately Drum Dash Deluxe is neither deep nor long enough to be worth the $7 asking price it stands at currently.

    Отличная ритм-игра, но очень короткая (прошёл за полтора часа). Надеюсь, что разрабы ещё что-то с ней сделают    [RU]

I hesitate to call it a fully-fledged rhythm game, as it's more of a fixed-horizontal scrolling platformer with rhythm based mechanics! If you like the feeling of collecting coins, this is a great game. You must exercise both horizontal and vertical spacial awareness in combination with rhythmic timing to progress through the levels, which quickly become more and more riddled with obstacles and require faster and faster reaction times. Easy to get the hang of, but I can tell it'll be a challenge to master. If you're a fan of Kirby or want an unusual rhythm/platformer experience, I'd definitely recommend picking this one up in the eShop!… Full Review »
