I remember back in the early 1990s when Kirby's first adventure, Kirby's Dreamland, was released on the original Nintendo Game Boy. It was uniquely creative. Instead of directly attacking, you had to inhale your opponents and then spit them out. (It's a lot less disgusting than it sounds.) And you had to keep an eye out for things to suck up in order to attack. Since the original game, Kirby's powers have evolved. Along with his inhalation technique, he also can mimic his opponents - his signature move in the Smash Bros. series - by swallowing them whole. Perhaps I'm getting too nostalgic, but it brings us to this game review's topic: Kirby Super Star Ultra, a re-release of the Super Nintendo game of the same name. Except for the "Ultra" part of the title. While this game may not live up entirely to the "ultra" part of the title, it is a solidly fun game.
Kirby Super Star Ultra is pretty much a collection of minigames crammed onto one tiny cartridge (or one large cartridge if you have the original SNES game). The overall plot is that bad things happen on the planet Popstar, and it is up to Kirby to put a stop to those who have evil plans. Like King Dedede collecting all the food for himself. Or Meta Knight, one of Kirby's archrivals, attempting to conquer the planet. Or putting a stop to Mr. Sun's and Moon's (respectively) fights."
