The worlds you explore are also designed to perfection. There's plenty of combinations for some great attacks, although theres only one attack per ability like in Kirby's Adventure. It's really cool how you can merge two abilities in this game. It's filled with secrets and fun moments. If anyone else thinks it's interesting though then you're right. I have the original N64 cartridge for this game so I'm passing on it. I didn't think they'd release this before the SNES Kirby games. Fans of Kirby and action games with bright, colorful graphics should vacuum this one up. Throw in three exciting multiplayer minigames, and you've got a package of which even King Dedede would be proud.

Not only that, but try combining any two abilities to create a brand-new one that is usually stronger than the original. Take control of Kirby and help him journey across six worlds, battling a wide variety of enemies and challenging bosses, as he tries to collect all 100 pieces of the shattered crystal.Īlong the way, you'll use Kirby's trademark copying ability to use enemies' strengths against them. Now the crystal has been broken, and it's scattered around the world. Kirby's first 3-D adventure is also his Nintendo 64 debut, and it finds the always-versatile hero battling a new enemy called Dark Matter.ĭark Matter is after a distant land's powerful crystal, but a young fairy named Ribbon attempts to save it by escaping with the gem to Dream Land. Rather than taking Kirby down the route of Mario and Link, however, the pink mascot stuck closer to his origins - mechanically, Kirby 64: The Crystal.

Like many of Nintendo's properties during the transition from the SNES to the N64, Kirby underwent a shift from a flat 2D sprite to a fully rendered polygon rendition of himself.
