He had three more animal friends in Dream Land 3: Nago the Cat, Pitch the Bird, and Chu-Chu the Octopus.

The very first year I went to E3, back in 1997 I think, Nintendo had Kirby Super Star Stacker displayed, like they were planning on bringing it out.  But it never happened, sadly.

Kirby's Avalanche was really just a reworked version of Puyo Puyo, just like Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on Genesis.  You can even see the name Puyo Puyo in the background of the title screen!

You know what's funny is that I was just playing this game this morning after working out at the gym.

All right, if you're going to write about a Kirby game, you need to know the names of the animals. :)  It's Rick the Hamster, Kine the Fish, and Coo the Owl.

There is a version of this game on the Super Famicom in Japan called Kirby's Super Star Stacker.  It is the only Kirby game to never make it to the US.

I think the first NES game I got was Arkanoid because it came with a paddle controller.  I got the first Zelda pretty early on, too.

He's one tough cream puff!

I agree.  Mario & Zelda games are hard.  So is Shovel Knight.

Usually I don't like hard games.  That's why I like Kirby.  His games are easy enough for anyone to beat, but you can find challenge in locating all the secrets.

Yeah it's hard to be scared of Kirby.

Honestly, I don't think the DS one is as bad as everyone says it is.  At least they tried new things, which is somehting New Island on 3DS didn't do.  It was still fun, though.  But that's why I'm looking forward to Woolly World as well, because the yarn aspects promise some new gameplay ideas for the Yoshi's Island format.

Yay, you played it!

I can't keep up with all the Pokemon characters and monsters anymore. And to think at one time, I was the "Pokemon Expert" go-to guy for The Dallas Morning News.

Hey I don't see Kirby on your list!

That's why I feel so fortunate that I review games semi-professionally.  I have more opportunities to play games I normally wouldn't be able to.

There are 8 main bosses in Shovel Knight, each one ending with "Knight."  Replace that with "Man" and you get the idea of where I'm going with this.
