Kirby's Blowout Blast

Kirby's Blowout Blast is a game developed by HAL-Laboratory and published by Nintendo as part of the Nintendo 3DS EShop. It is also an upper version of Kirby: Planet Robobot 's sub game, Kirby 3D Rumble.

Why It Is A Blowout Blast

 * 1) This game is an improvement over the sub-game "Kirby 3D Rumble" with longer and wider areas to explore, more enemies to encounter and an all new attack, "Blaster Bullet".
 * 2) Blaster Bullet is an incredible powerup as Kirby can inhale more enemies for a huge blast, gaining more combos, and increasing score for a Platinum Trophy.
 * 3) While Team Kirby Clash Deluxe lacks a main menu, this one has a main menu with Kirby inhaling the title, which is creative.
 * 4) Tons of replay factor as the player can go to any area for a higher score.
 * 5) One of the results now has "Enemies Defeated", which is a much easier achievement and players can have a chance to win a platinum trophy.
 * 6) There are more bosses aside from "Mashers", such as Kracko and King Dedede, with the latter gaining more size, which is challenging to some.
 * 7) Like Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash, the soundtrack is much vivid to listen, which it is based on Kirby's Dream Land.
 * 8) The player can change music with a Kirby series amiibo based on the 3DS games.
 * 9) After they finished Level 5 and Level 5 EX, they can enter the Secret Path to face off more enemies and Giant Masked Dedede.
 * 10) Speaking of the boss, Giant Masked Dedede is an entertaining boss as he can use his armored hammer to crush Kirby and inhale him very quickly, unless the player are more precised.
 * 11) As usual, the graphics are fluid, even for 3DS standards.
 * 12) There are hidden stickers (easter eggs) found throughout the game such as a crude drawing of Kirby.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Very short game duration, since he can be beaten in 1 hour or less
 * 2) Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee do not appear in the game, which is disappointing.
 * 3) There are no bosses outside from Kirby's Dream Land, which is also disappointing.
 * 4) Sadly, there are no copy abilities in this game.
 * 5) As mentioned before, Giant Masked Dedede is WAY overpowered. (Though 2nd and 3rd bad qualities (except for BQ# 1 and 4) can basically be understandable since this is meant to be a homage to Kirby's Dream Land and that it's the said game's 25th anniversary)

Reception
