Really fun side scroller and a little annoying
Graphics: 9 Really invitng bright colors and inventive creatures. plus the backgrounds are really pretty Sound: 6 To kiddie for me but otherwise pretty good and effects sound better than in most GBA games Controls: 8 Haven't changed but still work really well but I really want the Kirby games to use the power-mixing ability from Crystal Shards (that was awesome). Entertainment: 7 It is fun the first time through and in Meta-Knight's quest but it loses fun factor the more you play it and it can get quite boring after that.
Overall: 7.4 Nothing in this game is overly bad but nothing is overly good either and you'll probably want to sell this one after a few playthrough's.
