Kirby's Opening Title

This week, I decided to play a game I haven't played since I was young - Kirby Super Star. Just watching the opening videos brought back loads of gamer nostalgia. One thing I loved about this game was how you can choose what stages you want to play first, as well as try out the mini games. Each level has a beautiful look to it, and different challenged to overcome.

 It took me a few minutes to remember the controls and what monsters gave what power, but after spending some time floating around and killing monsters, I was ready to play. I forgot you could turn the power you are currently using into a helper, so when I accidentally brought out a Waddle Doo I was a bit surprised. Then I remembered one of the biggest reasons I loved this game: the choice to co-op. As long as there are two controllers, a friend can play as the helper once it is brought out. There aren't many classic games with this feature, and I feel it fit perfectly into Kirby Super Star.

This game was a big part of my childhood, and once I started playing I couldn't stop. Kirby Super Star has what I love most about Kirby- tons of different powers and abilities, a good story line, excellent music, the ability to co-op with a friend - and I wish they would either remake this or make a Kirby game to live up to it (if there is one, I haven't played it and please tell me about it). I'm happy I chose this game amazing game to remember from my past. If you haven't played it yet, get yourself a Super Nintendo, or even an emulator for your computer. This is a must play for any gamer, young or old.
