    Kirby Super Star Ultra takes what is widely considered the best Kirby game and gives it a face lift and even more modes to play than the original had. This is one Kirby game that will not disappoint any in terms of length. The partner system is unnecessary and makes the game even easier. Just the same, it is appreciated for its two player capability.

This is one Kirby game that will not disappoint any in terms of length. The partner system is unnecessary and makes the game even easier. Just the same, it is appreciated for its two player capability. With a wide variety of powers and multiple ways to use each, it is easy to forgive the game for erring on the easy side of things.… Expand

    A great game, but really has no in-depth. There are only a few missions to beat as well as the lack of campaign gameplay. However, the boss fighting mode (forgot the name) is epic and fun due to the availabilty of partners. If you are a avid fan of Kirby, try playing it.

    The game is good,but it gets boring.The last level is very hard! you do the same thing in the whole game! my friend Meridith can't beat level two!!! I had a hard time trying to beat six.on two player mode with only one game card you have to look at the other player's screen and that is annoying! the game needs some upgrades.

    It's a pretty decent game not too bad but there isn't much there's like five classic games in one and the first three are super easy and short, and then there's a treasure hunter like game which you can mess up on a lot, but overall an okay game its still pretty fun just easy and short.

    Una revisión del clásico de SNES, con leves mejoras y extras. He jugado pocos juegos de Kirby y nunca he llegado a probar alguno que de verdad suponga un reto y me haga sudar la gota gorda. En esta entrega tenemos un popurrí de minijuegos en concreto me quedo con el de "La venganza de MetaKnight".

He jugado pocos juegos de Kirby y nunca he llegado a probar alguno que de verdad suponga un reto y me haga sudar la gota gorda. En esta entrega tenemos un popurrí de minijuegos en concreto me quedo con el de "La venganza de MetaKnight". Divertido, pero aunque hoy me salga la vena nostálgica no me ciega el hecho de ver de que no es un juego tan redondo como yo recordaba. A poco tiempo del estreno de su nueva entrega en Switch, ha despertado de nuevo mi curiosidad por la famosa bola chicle de color rosa, con aspecto Kawai, pero con un lore creepypasta, bastante turbio que siempre ha estado presente en todas las entregas. En un futuro me gastaría probar más títulos de la franquicia.… Expand

    Collection of simple sub games, the most entertaining of which are 2D platformers in a similar style to 16 BIT games such as Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands. Not exactly sophisticated but playable enough and cute to look at.

    It's not as creative as "Kirby's Canvas Curse", but it's not as "by the numbers" formulaic as "Kirby's Squeak Squad."

    Copying enemy abilities and working alongside helper characters is cool, and we dig the imaginative environments, but there's not enough to keep us hooked.

    Kirby and company are just too damn cute and cheerful. If Smash Bros. piqued your interest, Ultra's your next step.
