Kirby Star Allies is one of, if not my absolute favorite Kirby games, and I recognize while it's on paper one of the weaker entries in the core series, it appeals to me personally on multiple levels and I think I should revisit it more

#musings #kirby #no the reasons don't begin and end with 'dark meta knight is playable'#but that is a very big reason #to expand on it i think the dlc dream friends were amazingly designed #they still fit into the structure and playstyle of a playable kirby character but they also still feel like bosses #using dmk as an example they took his boss fight from triple deluxe and made it into a playable character #preserving most of his moves and adding new ones in the same vein #before unlocking dmk i played as marx and was surprised by how faithful he felt to his boss fight #and of course being able to augment these characters' movesets with elemental upgrades makes it even better #guest star allies was a great addition because if i want to i can play through the whole game in one sitting #as dark meta knight with fire powers #that's like my ideal kirby experience right there #did i mention the dlc was all free and very well-crafted?#that's not a given nowadays so i'm very appreciative of that #i also like the mage sisters and the lore implications the game offers #fransisca and flamberge are quite possibly the first lesbians in a kirby game #and they're ALSO playable! with their full boss movesets!#you can even tag out to the other elemental nuns whenever you want #so they're three very strong characters in one package #i seriously need to finish completing my save file in star allies so i can just start up a dmk or mage sisters run whenever i want #that would be nice i think #but of course because of the main mechanic being related to having teammates i can bring both characters with me #including in other guest star allies runs #because if i want to i can just ride their back and control them that way #i wonder how easy it would be to cheese a hard guest star allies run by piggybacking off an op dream friend
