Add in some truly fun new abilities for Kirby to copy, such as the power to paint portraits on canvases to bring items into the world and a chef skill that can whip up scrumptious meals, as well as surprisingly pretty visuals - pay attention to the deep backgrounds in some environments to catch glimpses of glistening water and beautiful sunsets - and you have yet another winner of a Kirby adventure.
Watching your little group of four pals work together by, say, one lighting another's sword on fire for a little extra oomph, or all four joining together to create a bridge, is a joy. By giving us the ability to befriend almost any bad guy - yes, even the notorious villain King Dedede and mysterious Meta Knight - by giving them big puffy pink hearts, Kirby Star Allies deepens the franchise's already laudable atmosphere of friendliness. Nintendo is famous for its feel-good platformers, but this one kicks things up a notch. Beyond the friendship theme, players can expect more of what's made Kirby's adventures so popular in the past, including simple boss fights, plenty of hidden doors and unlockable bonus stages, and lots of collectibles, including jigsaw puzzle pieces that gradually assemble into celebratory pictures. More than that, pressing up on the control stick signals allies to combine their powers in fun ways, often resulting in supercharged fighters or the ability to overcome an obstacle. A friend with an umbrella can use it to deflect a waterfall while a fire-powered pal lights a dynamite fuse running beneath it, all while Kirby fights off any nearby enemies with a hammer, a zap of electricity, or a karate punch. But with up to three helpers in tow - all of whom can be controlled by other local players with their own controllers - players now have access to a broader range of abilities necessary to solve little contextual problems. As usual, he can also copy enemy abilities by swallowing them.
KIRBY STAR ALLIES provides a pretty straightforward side-scrolling platformer experience with one notable twist: Nintendo's beloved pink puffball can turn enemies he encounters into friendly helpers by giving them a big pink heart.
