Thanks, I did not know that. I watched some
speedruns of Meta Knight; that's what got me interested in the game. He only can take 3 hits, which is a limitation. Hopefully I will be able to unlock him.
Great.
You've been following Kirby for a long time then. My first game was Canvas Curse on the DS. I just wish Kirby played more like he does in Super Smash Bros.
Fron what I remember, Meta Knight is really fun to play as. The game is not too long, so you should be able to get his mode if you enjoy it.
I started with his first game (Kirby's Dream Land on Game Boy) and have been a fan ever since. Though I've been an inconsistent fan as I've aged, so I missed some of the games that came out post-Dream Land. I've been trying to fill my gaps with Virtual Console releases.
The games have a tendency to each feel different. I always run and like to be aggressive, exactly like I am in Smash with Kirby. Since his Smash moveset is an amalgation of several copy abilities with some made up stuff, it's hard to recreate well in the games. In Amazing Mirror, I believe there was a "Smash" ability specifically designed to emulate Smash Kirby. If you like the attack style of Kirby in Smash (and in particular like his smashes), I would recommend Fighter Kirby or some of the more physical ones (most recently I got a kick out of Beetle Kirby in Triple Deluxe). However, the copy abilities and weight/movement of Kirby undergo changes as you move through the series, so it's also worth re-evaluating the abilities in each game; my favorite in Nightmare in Dream Land was Cutter followed by (not really a spoiler but it surprised me as a kid)
, while my favorite in Triple Deluxe was Beetle followed by Fighter. I think Nightmare in Dream Land has rather simple copy abilities compared to something like Triple Deluxe where every ability has various button combos and a moveset. For example, Fire and Burning are two separate singular abilities in Nightmare in Dream Land that are combined in other entries into something a bit more complex.
I have really fond memories of Canvas Curse. I still need to play my copy of Rainbow Curse.
EDIT: Mobile typing is too slow. Pamplemousse beat me on the Smash moveset.
