Kirby Super Star (Known as Kirby's Fun Pak in PAL region) is a platformer Kirby game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was originally released in Japan on March 21, 1996, in North America on September 20, 1996 and in Europe on January 23, 1997.

Why It's a Super Star

 * 1) Very colorful graphics especially for SNES standards.
 * 2) The game has 8 small games that were excuted very well and very fun to play with, each of the small games has a unique gameplay and plot:
 * 3) *Spring Breeze is a remake of Kirby's Dream Land which stays very faithful to the original game as it has a similar plot.
 * 4) *Gourmet Race is where Kirby races King Dedede in 3 different levels while eating the most food to win.
 * 5) *Dyna Blade is where Kirby goes to the mountain after realizing Dyna Blade was ruining Dream Land's crops.
 * 6) *The Great Cave Offensive is where Kirby explores the cave while finding as many treasures as he can.
 * 7) *Revenge of Meta Knight focuses on Meta Knight trying to take over Dream Land with his battleship called The Halberd, Kirby has to destroy the Halberd with a time limit.
 * 8) *Milky Way Wishes is where Kirby needs to prevent the Sun and the Moon from fighting, and he can't inhale enemies to copy abilities (which will result in "No Good"), instead getting copy abities by using a Copy Essence Deluxe and using them anytime.
 * 9) Memorable soundtrack, especially Gourmet Race, Candy Mountain, Cocoa Cave, Marx' boss theme, you name it.
 * 10) This is the first Kirby title that introduced Helpers that will help him on the journey, which can help make the game a lot easier and more fun,another player can even do co-op controlling one of them in both the original and the remake.
 * 11) The gameplay is still fun as always, as it also introduced a couple new abilities such as Fighter, Mirror, Ninja and Yo-Yo.
 * 12) *The copy abilities that were in Kirby's Adventure improved such as combining Fireball/Burning and Fire as The Fire Ability and combining Ice and Freeze as Ice Ability.
 * 13) *This was also the first Kirby game where he gets hats whenever he copies an ability which was such a good concept that was brought back ever since.
 * 14) Most of the boss battles are really fun to fight especially Meta Knight, Computer Virus (which you fight in a RPG style), and the final battle against Marx, who even appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in Classic Mode as Kirby's route's final boss.
 * 15) The sub games are very fun to play.
 * 16) The remake Kirby Super Star Ultra has a lot more small games to choose such as Helper to Hero (which is almost like the Arena but using any helper you want), Meta Knightmare Ultra (which you can even play as Meta Knight) and Revenge of the King (which you fight the bosses from Spring Breeze with a different form and fight Masked Dedede), while also slightly nerfing the abilities (except Hammer).

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The Arena and True Arena (in the remake) can be painful to beat depending on your skills.
 * 2) The helper IA is very poor, the most frequent example is that sometimes they will not even attack an enemy or continue to touch them,at least the IA was improved a bit in the remake and co-op exist.
 * 3) In the SNES version, when you choose the game not to teach you about the basics of the game, they still do it.
 * 4) Spring Breeze has NO challenge whatsoever.
 * 5) The infamous Spring Breeze credits. These credits are so fast, they're so hard to keep up with and chances are you won't know who worked on the game.
