Nintendo Life: Kirby’s Dream Land 3 is the epitome of a lovable gaming experience. Carefree and popping with irresistible charm, this SNES platformer builds off the two previous Game Boy entries in the series and fulfills the potential they introduced. That doesn’t mean the core mechanics have suddenly become nuanced or up to par with your Mario and Sonic titles of the day, but boredom is successfully warded off with constant variety, abnormally beautiful artwork, and smiles. Lots of smiles.
Happy 25th anniversary, Kirby! App Trigger celebrates by revisiting Kirby's eight cutest Copy Abilities.
HeyPoorPlayer's Kenny McKee writes- "By 1997, Nintendo’s “Kirby” franchise was already relatively known. Many games in the series had come out by this time, and the series was even popular enough to earn a few spinoffs in the few short years that it had been alive. One year before, the Super Nintendo game “Kirby’s Super Star” had been released on the SNES and was so widely liked by gamers, that it remains relatively famous to this day. The game sported several new features, such as the ability to create helpers (CPU or P2-controlled). Helpers were created based on Kirby’s Copy Ability at the time, and took the form of specially-colored enemies. While there were many new features, perhaps the most exciting feature to gamers was the fact that Kirby’s Copy Abilities no longer consisted of a single attack based on the Ability that Kirby possessed, rather Kirby could perform many special moves with a single Ability. The versatility of these Abilities made the game quite fun, and challenged players to become as good as they could with Kirby’s new powers. Following the success of this game, it was obvious that another game would be released soon. Fans speculated at what could come of the next Kirby Game. Many had hoped for a Kirby’s Super Star 2. The possibilities were endless for the Pink Wonder! True to the prediction, another Kirby game was released a little over a year later. Kirby’s Dreamland 3."
