Kirby's Dream Land (GB)

[A Black Falcon]

I am entirely baffled that you can praise Kirby 2 in this fashion and then rag on Kirby 64, as I find your criticisms easily apply.

How so? Kirby 2 doesn't play much at all like Kirby 3 or 64... I mean, beyond that they're both Kirby games of course. It doesn't have those games' slow pace, and the gameplay is somewhat different as well.

The majority of them are color-coded, so no guide is needed to determine the necessary power combination.

I often had a hard time knowing exactly what each color referred to though, sometimes I had to try multiple things before I could figure out which one it meant... so, use a guide to know what power to use. Also, some of the shards were hidden fairly well. As I said though, before finishing the task of getting them all I stopped playing the game because it just wasn't fun enough to play for that long. As far as 2d/2.5d N64 platformers go I liked Goemon's Great Adventure a lot more than Kirby 64.
