Gobble up a swordsman and Kirby gets a sword chew up a fire breathing creature and now he's a portly pink flamethrower eat a bird and now he has wings, and can fell his enemies in a flurry of feathers instead. By inhaling and swallowing certain enemies, Kirby can steal their powers for his own - a move which also nabs him a dashing little hat in the process. Kirby must be pretty easy if *we* can amass 80 lives.Īs anyone who's seen the Kirby cartoon (or played his past games) will know, the Kirbster is essentially a walking stomach - and this extends not just to his food, but also to his enemies. Instead, the real challenge here is in finding and collecting all the hidden collectables (jigsaw pieces this time around), most of which require you to make clever use of Kirby's trademark copy ability. Still, in general terms of difficulty, Kirby is about as easy-going as platformers come - which is one of the reasons you'll notice our insane number of lives in most of these pictures. As you jump, fly and inhale your way through stage after stage, with cutesy enemies lurking around every corner, lava pits, spikes and deadly drops conspire to stop you from getting too complacent. Turning perennial series enemies into your new best friends, almost anyone you lob a heart at in game can join your team - and if you've got a handful of Joy-Cons to pass around, your friends can take control of them, and play alongside you in co-op too.Ī fairly traditional Kirby game, Star Allies is one of the pink puffball's more traditional platformers, and a world away from the Wii U instalment. Presumably because his heart is so pure and full, or something like that, rather than turning the Kirbster evil, the fallen heart fragments have instead given Kirby the ability to befriend everyone instead, as he can now lob a seemingly infinite supply of hearts at anyone he meets. The only difference is that this time, Kirby has friends to help him in his quest. With that blockbuster setup being pretty much all the game needs in terms of plot development, it's up to you to chase down these pesky intergalactic hearts, beating up everyone who's had the misfortune to come into contact with one, and generally thwart a brewing evil scheme. On a far away planet, a dark, crystalline heart explodes, sending fragments hurtling through deep space, falling to Kirby's homeland and possessing the likes of King Dedede, Meta Knight, and pretty much everyone that isn't Kirby. Trouble is brewing in Kirby-land once more, and as always, it's up to the titular pink puffball to save the day. Looks like Dedede's been working out a bit recently.
