Your retrospective videos are like finding a $20 in your pants pocket after not wearing them for a while. Please keep em coming!

Despite Kirby's Dreamland 3's shortcomings It has my favorite art style in the series.

Those 90s Kirby ads are hilarious. Nintendo of America really badly wanted to make the cutest game series ever made seem hardcore.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for bringing up Jun Ishikawa. He is such a fantastic composer who's music is absolutely integral to the series charm and identity, and I never hear anyone bring him up when Kirby is the subject, even when discussing the music.

Kirby fan and long time viewer here. Really excited that you're doing a long form retrospective on the Kirby series, and I look forward to seeing how the rest of the retrospective plays out
Also, massive shoutouts to the Kirby 64 praise as that game is phenomenal

I'm only mildly annoyed you didn't mention what I've always thought was one of the most underrated and underused features of Kirby 64; the fact that you don't have to outright swallow or spit enemies you inhale.

You can do all sorts of funny things by pulling enemies out and holding them over your head. Suck up one of those arrowhead shooting fish, and then carry him on your head to shoot at other enemies. Carry a spike guy over your head to have him routinely impale anything above you. Suck up a fish and hold him above your head to zip through water sections, etc.

No one ever seems to mention that feature.

6:14 "Easy to finish, and maddening to fully complete." That's why I love Kirby. It starts off as cute and beginner friendly, but fully completing the game becomes much more of a challenge for those who want to go for it, and it's often got pretty satisfying post-game elements.

Everyone knows Jun Ishikawa, but let's not forget Hirokazu Ando and all his contributions, too. Props to the both of them.

The Kirby series gets crazy when you start to factor in the mini games. The Touhou clone they included in Mass Attack ate several 10s of hours of my life. I probably played it more than the actual game and it was so much more fleshed out than the other mini games included in that spin off, it's wild.

I absolutely adore Kirby 64. Whether it's the power up variety, music, the way the story is presented without words like you mentioned, and the overall charm, it's one of my favorites in the series and one N64 game that I'll happily revisit.

Surprised you praised the Kirby 64 soundtrack as much as you did without bringing up the absolutely LEGENDARY Zero Two theme.

i hope bro makes the other 2 retrospectives

How can one talk about Kirby 64 without mentioning the best ability combination, Ice and Spark?

The fridge is just too good not to be talked about.

Bro, honestly, you know me, some days I'm just like "Kirby" and other days, ah ha, I'm like, aha, "KIRBY" all capital letters because it means it's big.

I like Kirby, that's what I was trying to get across with this comment. Sorry, I'm really tired, I didn't mean for it to sound so weird.

80s/90s nintendo ads have ZERO chill lmao. they really thought they had to make everything "cool" to sell it

You always bless the timeline with games I love just when I least expect it. I love all of your videos and your passion for gaming. You’re a legend king.

That final song is particularly memorable because of a friend.  He played Brawl a ton and he was the unfortunate duck to have a Wii that effectively bricked due to the disc.  Upon getting it back, he went ham again and one day he got the 4999 achievement.  He had no knowledge of it and decided to take a snapshot, paste it into a YT video, and put that music on for the background.  As of now it's sitting at 205,000 views, but it was crazy seeing that kind of attention and then YT sending messages asking if he'd like to monetize the thing

As to Dreamland 3 I'm more partial to it because I never went for completion.  As such most of the animal abilities were neat to experiment with for fun and not for some lengthy "puzzle"

"Factory Inspection" may be my favorite track from any video game ever. Perpetual goosebumps every time I hear it.

Editor here! Hope you all enjoy this one! I know almost nothing about Kirby but I did my best to do it justice 🥰

EDIT: Just in case anyone is interested, the green screen Kirby animation was found here:
