Not the strongest entry in the series, but still highly enjoyable.
The gameplay is the classic suck up the badguys and get their ability. But this time, you can store the moves on the touch screen. This sounds like a good idea, but wasn't used to the potential it could have. I think mixing the stored abilities to form new abilities is the first thing you'd want to do with this new system, and you can, to some extent. If you mix two abilites together, instead of getting a new one you just get a random exsisting ability. That was a dissapointment.
The graphics are the best for a Kirby game I've seen. Their all very cute and colourful. The sound is the same we've heard from the beggining, but it gets the job done.
The makes of the game tried to make the game have replay value by hiding treasure chests with things like pieces of a puzzle and different colours for kirby in them. This seems like a good idea, but the treasures just aren't hidden that well, and you can find them pretty quick.
Overall the game is really fun on gameplay, but falls short because it is in fact short. Not only that, but it is pretty easy too. Compared to a game like Yoshi's Island DS this is a walk in the park. But still a good, cutesy sidescroller.
