Kirby is Back (Amazing Mirror Review)   tornadocam
Kirby isback in this adventure. Here is my take and review on this great and amazinggame. Story: 9The story of the game from the intro and manual goes like this. Above Dreamland is a mirror world. Most of the time the Mirror World is peaceful. However, the Mirror worldgoes into a state of turmoil. Evil matter has invaded it and threatens toexpand into Dreamland. Shadow Kirby escapes to try to get help from Dreamland.Meta Knight one of dream lands finest warriors flies up to protect Dreamlandfrom this new threat. The fine knight is overpowered by a dark Meta Knight. Thedark matter attacks the mirror warp zone into 8 pieces and imprisons MetaKnight. Meanwhile Kirby is also attacked by dark matter and is split into 4Kirby’s that are identical. Kirby and his new friends’ journey into the mirrorworld to save Dreamland and Meta Knight as well as liberate the Mirror World.Okay I really liked how Hal Labs was trying something new here. The past fewKirby games had the same plot. Dark Matter would usually possess King Dedede  andKirby would have to save the Kingdom of Dreamland in the mean time also liberating King Dedede. This is one of the few Kirby games were King Dedede is not referenced nor does he make an appearance in this game. That was something new to the Kirby games. Kirby’s Dreamland, Kirby’s Adventure, Kirby’s Dreamland 2 and 3 all had the king in it. So Hal Labs made sure to give players a different plot. I also liked the creativity in this plot. The plot introduces us to a new world as well as new characters. I like games that havean original feel to them but get creative with something new to offer. Hal Labsreally did well on this game’s plot.

Graphics: 10The graphics in this game were very good. The worlds are nicely done. My favorites are the Castle, Ice and Cove worlds. Those had backgrounds that were just so special. Ilike how the trees look bright and colorful. The Ice looks shiny which is howIce is supposed to look. The Cove just has that glow in the background. The otherworlds had amazing side effects too such as clear ocean water, glowing stars and eruptingvolcanoes. The graphics are so good they make the player think they are there.In fact, the graphics just really jump out at you. In addition, to the graphicsthe controls are also perfect. Kirby’s controls are very smooth not one timedoes he feel sluggish. The sprints are very good. I have seen good sprintsbefore mostly in Mega Man, Mario and Donkey Kong games. The sprints in thisgame are up there with those games. The enemies are done nicely their attackpowers are also done nicely. Moreover, there are not any lags in this game. Ithought there might be a few, but I have played through this game several timesand I have found not lagging at all. This game should have set the bar whatGame Boy Advanced games are supposed to be like. Also future Kirby games shouldhave this games graphics, sprints and controls.

Sound: 10The sound in this game was also nicely done. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror had some of the best soundtracks in any Kirby game I have played. I really liked the music for themost part it was upbeat, smooth and very relaxing.  In fact, all of the worlds have a differenttheme. But what is so special is the themes fit the worlds nicely. The sounds ofthe special weapons are also nicely done. Kirby when he has the sword weapon itmakes a sound like it is really doing damage by cutting enemies. The bulletpower up sounds like an explosion when it makes contact. The ice weapons soundlike freezing rain. Also the enemies have their unique sounds depending on whattheir ability is. Furthermore, there are other sounds too such as unlockinganother world, getting another item or defeating a boss are amazing. Since itis a Kirby game who cannot forget the infamous death sound of Kirby. I stillfind that to be funny. So, this Kirby game had a very good sound too it. Icompared this to other Kirby games. The very first game had a tingle to thesound, there is not any tingling in this game. Some of the other Kirby gamessound (music) seemed to be out of rhyme a few times. The game that had anawesome sound like this one and rivals it was Kirby’s Adventure. However Kirby’sAdventure was 8 bit and this is at least 32 bit.

Addictiveness and Depth: 10

Of all my Kirby games I replay this one the most it is just that good. The game’s uniqueplot, awesome graphics and sound really add replay here. In addition, there areseveral items to look for. This game has huge depth. They are several treasurechests to find and I mean a bunch of them. I lost count on how many I havefound. In addition, they are also several weapons in this game to try.Sometimes it is fun just to go through the game with a different weapon to seeif I can win with that particular weapon. There is one thing that Hal Labs inthis game and it really adds depth is different colors of Kirby. Kirby canunlock different colors by finding them. I will admit I have quite a fewfavorite colors such as Red, Purple, Blue, and turquoise. I like them colorsbecause they represent my sports teams, and my favorite plants. I am also Autisticso I’m attracted to certain colors. Okay back to the game.  I find it fun to play through the game with a certain color it makes Kirby  look cool and  groovy. They are also CD’s to find in this game. The player also must unlock 8 worlds to beat this game. All of the worlds have mazes in them and different pathways so it is going to take a lot of exploringto open all the paths. The worlds are long in this game. Unlike other Kirbygames the worlds do not have stages to them. In the past such as in Kirby’sAdventure you would have a world with 6 stages in it. This game does not havethat which for me that adds depth. So yeah, the worlds are long in this gamebut thankfully you can save your progress. To sum it up, Kirby and the AmazingMirror really shines on depth.

Difficulty: 7

If Kirby and the Amazing Mirror has a flaw it’s the difficulty. Now do not get me wrong herethis game is difficult. But it is not the most difficult game. There is a secretway to unlock a room that has all the game’s weapons in it. So that kind ofmakes it easy especially if you get hit and lose your weapon in this game. Thisgame does throw some curve balls at you. There are a lot of traps, pits andenemy placement in this game. Enemy placement is what really gave me the mostdifficulty in this game. It is so easy to find yourself cornered and surrounded.In addition the enemies in this game are sneaky they will hit you from behindsome can even turn to stone and clobber you as you walk by. Also like mostKirby games you have a lot of air enemies that want to knock you down and sendyou crashing to your doom. However, this game gives you lots of weapons thatyou can use to get yourself out of jams. Also you can call for backup using yourbuddies so if you get cornered you can call for help. One thing that also dragsthe difficulty down just a little bit is you can call warp star. Yes you readthat right if you are about to die you can call warp star and it will take youback to safety. It should be noted this does not work if you are falling inpits. So that takes the difficulty down. I was also expecting the final boss tobe more of a battle. The final boss he is difficult but I have thought harderbosses in Kirby games. He kind of leaves himself open for attacks. So yeah,Kirby and the Amazing Mirror was difficult but not as difficult as it couldhave been. It feels like at times the makers of this game are giving you a wayto escape a jam if you get caught in one. Still, this game does requirecreativity to get the items and they are even puzzles to solve in this game sothat keeps the difficulty rating solid.

Overall: 9.4What can I say I love this game I got it when it first came out and I have not stoppedplaying it. I often play this when I want to take a break from Mega Man. I willbe honest I thought Kirby’s Adventure was the best Kirby game ever. That wasuntil I picked up this game it completely blew me away. In fact, this game haseverything that a great game has. The graphics as I stated are top of the line,the controls are very smooth and the sound is special. Not to mention all theitems you can collect especially the different colors. There is a lot going onin this game. I really enjoyed it in case you haven’t noticed :P The games onlyproblem is sometimes they give you a lot of ways to get out of a jam as Imentioned in my difficulty analysis. I will also say sometimes the weapons seemto be much overpowered. However if this is minor even to guys like me who likechallenges. I am going to go on and say this is a shot in the arm that theKirby Series needed. Now the Kirby series as far as I know was not in danger offading. I just think players might have gotten tired of seeing King Dedede gettaken control of by nightmare (dark Matter) and Kirby having to go liberate himand Dreamland. After a while plots like that where there is little creativitykind of get old.  For those that do not know what I am talking about. Compare the plots to Dreamland 2 and 3. Those two plots are the same pretty much nothing new. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror changed that by introducing something new to the series. I will make a boldstatement and say that this game introduced Kirby to a new generation of videogame players. It also got old school guys like me playing Kirby again. To sumit up I would highly recommend this game you will not be disappointed in it.

Kirby, I love you... But Vizzed is better!   Snodeca
I should have thought of this before, when kirbmanboggle came back :SHellooooo everyone! Today I bring you another review, but this time, instead of Astro Boy, Kirby!! :DLet's start.Graphics: 10/10The graphics, yes, that's something I love. I love graphics. But tis game? I think this game has the best GBA Graphics, well, to the sprites, not the background :P The sprites has good details, the background is the con. And that means, it's a 9. If the background had better graphics, it would definitely be 10 :PSounds: 10/10Hello there, Sakurai. May my favorite song of this game be in Super Smash Bros 4? It was in Super Smash Bros Brawl, after all! :PThis has amazing sound effects, amazing music themes, amazing sound quality, and is very well played, I really love to hum the songs, I love it. 10/10. Addictiveness: 10/10When I got this game, I played this game constant. I couldn't stop! And yet, I only completed this 100% ONCE! I've got it for a long time, but I lost the game.Ugh, that's something that makes me mad. WHY DID YOU THROW THE GAME MAKING ME LOSE IT, COUSIN?! :(But, the game is amazing, it won't make me stop playing it once I started. Literally. :PStory: 3/10I have like, no idea what the story means, so yeah, I know there is one, but I can't figure what it is, so I'll have to rate this one down.Depth: 10/10This game offers a large area to explore, it is very cool to explore, and it's worth exploring. It will take while to get 100%, finding all the chests, it's hard. But once you do... Well, I'm not gonna spoil :PDifficulty: 6/10This game is not very hard, but you can die pretty quick though, if you aren't careful, some chest contains special items that makes you have more health, so definitely look for that, you'll need it. You start with only 6 health bars, and you can find 4 more health bars, so that the game will make it easier. But it isn't THAT hard, but it can be annoying. Overall: 9.7/10Childhood game right here. Even though I'm still a kid :PThis game offers a lot of fun, and it is worth to play through. Definitely play the game, it's amazing. I love it.Well, thanks for reading my review! As I'm ending it here, and I have made 2 reviews in one day! Never knew I'd do that.. :S Well, bye every one! :)

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror Review   Divine Aurora
  " What's Kirby & the Amazing Mirror all about ?"Kirby must fight

a notorious villain that lurks in the shadows who aims to destroy all

of dream land by using a magic mirror that the villain himself is

trapped in. To stop this villain, Meta knight has broken this mirror

into numerous pieces so that way the villain can never escape from it,

but Kirby doesn't know that Meta knight has broken the mirror to stop

the villain from getting out into dream land to spread evil. So in

response to Meta knights actions Kirby  is collecting the pieces of the

mirror to make it whole again, because he thinks Meta knight has broken

for some unjust reason.

 

"

So how good is the graphics quality in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror

?" The graphics the one would experience in Kirby & the amazing

mirror are phenomenal for its time. The animations and level/stages

layouts are

very complex and go into alot of detail with colorization and design.

The games detail in Kirby facial expressions(such as blinking eyes and

cheeks go red to simulate blushing) as well as his enemy's facial

expressions and  motor functions in the game are excellent. The graphics

go above and beyond what you'd normally expect out of a Game Boy

Advanced game.

 "

So what can be heard in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror ?" The sound

acoustics in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror are beautiful in this game

with its

well diversity in a different sound track for each stage and at certain

way points within the stage. The sound is very high quality with its

near perfect pitch, and quite frankly it should have been the model base

of the sound for the Game Boy Advanced system. Also as you play

throughout the game you will find music notes items and each note you

find can be played in the collections room on the main title menu.

" How addicting can Kirby & the Amazing Mirror be ?" Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is highly addictive

because of it's mini games and as well as it's main game play. You can

collect spray cans and music notes/soundtracks throughout the game. The

spray cans change the color of main Kirby and the sound tracks allows

you to play different songs heard in game. So between the collect able

spray cans, soundtracks, mini games and main game play this game takes a

considerable amount of time to beat and ultimately had me fighting my

self to stop playing to get some sleep.

 

"

How does the story go in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror ?"The story in

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror goes like... Kirby has just

awoken from a good nights sleep, when all of sudden he see's Meta knight

racing to get some where rather hasty, so naturally Kirby thinks Meta

knight is up to no good so he purse's him. Meta knight after he realizes

Kirby is hot on his trail pursuing him he turns around with his sword

and cuts Kirby in to four  different Kirby's(red Kirby,yellow Kirby and

green Kirby).Now with his 3 other Kirby self's, the Kirby's all chase

after Meta knight. Meta knight manages to escape Kirby due to Kirby's

confusion over the fact that there is now four of him, Meta knight goes

straight for the magic mirror in dream land and immediately cuts it in

to 6 pieces and then flees in to a door. So now its up to Kirby to hunt

down Meta knight and figure out why he's broken the mirror into 6 pieces

and put the mirror back together again by collecting the pieces.

"

How little or how big is the depth in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror ?"

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is huge, and takes a very long time to

reach 100% complete, because to get that you must find all the spray

paint cans, all the music notes and soundtracks and maps. The mini games

are very fun between the wave riding and eating , and smashing mini

games and a secret mini game you unlock after you get 100% called boss

battle! Just beating the main game alone with out getting all the spray

cans and soundtracks, and maps it takes about an estimated time of 2 to 3

weeks to beat if you take your time and enjoy every feature this game

has to offer players.

 

"

How hard would you say Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is ?" Kirby &

the Amazing Mirror could have quite frankly  been harder to beat.The

games A.I.

For Kirby's enemy's gives you ample opportunities to  find there

weakness and injure them. The game does have a large range of sub bosses

for each stage so that added to the difficulty some.In addition what

also added to the difficulty of the game is that on most stages there

are  numerous paths and sometimes when you take the wrong path you could

end it in a stage you weren't trying to be in so the map is a little

confusing and you could get lost easily.

"

Overall experience of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror ?" Overall Kirby

& the Amazing Mirror is a fun creative and entertaining Kirby game

that will hold your interest and attention. Between the 4 mini games(yes

there is not just 3 like you have the option of playing at first but

when you get 100% complete a secret mini game unlocks and it's called

boss battle), the huge collection room where you can change Kirby

colors(by collecting spray paints that you find in main game and also

you can listen to all the soundtracks heard in the game by collecting

all the notes scattered out on different stages in the game, Kirby &

the Amazing Mirror has not just the entertainment of the main game play

but also has entertaining things to do after you beat the main game.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror Review   earthwarrior
Swoop! Out of nowhere Kirby comes down in his warp star. He sucks up a Bomber. CRASH! Destroys everything on screen. Overall 9.5/ 10: I absolutely loved this game ever since I was a kid. I loved transforming into different things. Graphics 10/ 10: The graphics were great. The color balance was good and it didn't have any glitches. I also liked that you couldn't change your Kirby's color. Throughout the game there are hidden bonus items. If you collect the bonus items they go to your collection which can be found on the title screen. Some of the bonus items are spray cans and you can actually spray it on Kirby. This gives the player a lot more options. They even put sprites for each of Kirby's copies. I especially loved the Sword and Burning copy. They were hands down two of the best copies in the game. Sound 10/ 10: The sound was pretty cool too. Almost each area had it's own music. I really liked the boss battle music. It really sucked me in. Once again, no lag or glitches. Just clear music all the way through. The sound was the same as the music. Almost each attack had its own sound. I give it a 10 since there was no area that I thought could improve. Addictiveness 7/ 10: This game was addicting up until I beat it. I came back to play it often though. It must of been 2 or 3 years when it finally started to get boring for me. Most games I don't like to replay a lot after I beat them. What got me coming back often were the copy abilities. I loved finding them all and developing strategies to use. What made it even more addicting for me was that there was more than one attack for each copy. Story 6/ 10: The story wasn't really stated in the game I believe. Here is the main concept. There is another place near dream land called the Mirror World. The entrance is a mirror and is above dream land. If you make a wish to the mirror it will come true. The wish comes true by the mirror reflecting the dream into the real world. Then Dark Mind uses the mirror to make copies of the monsters and to increase his army. Meta Knight comes to try and stop him, but is bested by a copy of him copy Dark Meta Knight. After Kirby comes to try and help, but Dark Meta Knight comes and chops him into four different Kirby's. Dark Meta Knight then chops the mirror into eight Mirror Shards and then he puts them all over Mirror World. Now it's up to you and your three other Kirby companions to find the Mirror Shards and save Dream Land and Meta Knight. The actual story was good, but they didn't say much about it in the game. They could of put some sort of text in it to give us a general idea. Depth 10/ 10: This was pretty lengthy. It had a lot of different worlds and different maps. It also had a big collection you can fill. Like I said above you can collect items and they will go to your collection. They had things like music, spray cans, and Maps. In addition you may also find items scattered around. These include 1-ups, lollipops (this makes you invincible for a few seconds), and food. They also put in mini games. There were three in all. They include Speed Eaters, Crackity Hack, and Kirby Wave Ride. In Speed Eaters you had to eat the food before the other three Kirby's, in Crackity Hack you had to punch a crack in the ground the farthest, and in Kirby Wave Ride you had to Ride on a wave and get to the goal the fastest. My favorite mini game was Kirby Wave Ride. It was easy for me to get bonuses. I remember waiting at least 20 seconds for the other Kirby's to catch up to me. I don't think they could of improved on anything about the depth of the game. Difficulty 6/ 10: This game was fairly easy. There were a few times where you may run low on health, but thats not often. The only real challenge are the boss fights. If you are in a boss  battle be sure to keep your distance. If you touch the boss you will lose health. They also often make sudden movements. Now there are some bosses that are really easy, but some others like Dark Mind are hard. I remember when I first fought Dark Mind. I died a bunch of times, but I finally managed to beat him. After a really easy game I wasn't expecting a hard boss. The only reason I didn't give this a 10/ 10 was because of the story. I thought they could of done more with it. If you liked this review be sure to rate it and comment! Your support helps.

Kirby and the magic mirror review by 98Gamingstar   98Gamingstar
Ok, so nintendo has had many franchises some of which are better then others and Kirby is just another one of those franchises with most of the games more or less being the same. This is my review on THIS game. Oh by the way, I'm going to be hard on it because by this time nintendo should have learnt about how to do a better Kirby game.-Graphics-The graphics in this game are poor. Not just GBA poor, just poor. I know GBA games with better graphics then this. I know the GBA is not as advanced as a nintendo DS or something like that but still. I understand that this may be a ' Early ' Kirby game. But still this is no excuse. Think about it, nintendo have made quite a few Kirby games in the past. They should have learnt by now to try and make the graphics better. And no I'm not going to like the graphics in this game and I don't care if it's on a GBA.-Sound-To be honest, I don't really like the sound that much. The GBA has never really had good soundtracks hence why nintendo never bother to make the sound any good. If nintendo want people to get the game then they need to create a better soundtrack than this. I just never liked it, I think maybe some of it may not even fit the levels. I rated this low because I just don't like the soundtrack, end of story...I don't have anything more to say with the sound apart from it sounds like a cat yowling its head off.-Addictiveness-This game is VERY addicting. Although I'm not a big fan of the Kirby series its self, I still find some of the games to be addicting. I don't have very good reasons though. I just tend to want to just carry on playing this game whenever I feel like I've had enough. I don't know what's so good about playing as a pink thing and just eating stuff...It gets addicting fast. I can't think of anything more I've got to say so I'm leaving it here-Story-To be honest the story is bad. I don't really see the point of it really. I mean I do not really pay attention to the story most of the time but still, Maybe nintendo COULD have made it better. Nintendo sure know how to make you so bored with the story don't they. I don't think the story has enough depth in it and maybe could have been explained better.-Depth-This game is a normal length and I will gladly say it's not that long. I don't remember how long it took me to complete it but you know. Anyway the game does not really offer you that much. You have stuff to do and things to transform into but that is in like in every single Kirby game there has EVER been. I had to give it a 7 because of its length.-Difficulty-This game is not very difficult at all. I find all Kirby games WAY to easy as it is. Maybe Nintendo should make it more difficult because at the moment I feel as though you have to do nothing to complete it. I know this is WAY to short but there is nothing left to say.This is another review by 98Gamingstar, comment if you like it and sorry if it's to short.

Wait...did you say four?   MitsuriZX
It is so awesome to be able to see 4 Kirbies smashing enemies into oblivion at the same time. This is basically a very nice game to play in Multiplayer,because you can play both competitively and co-operatively. It is the only Kirby game where there are no stages,you are free to explore the world as you want to. Whenever you need some help,just call your Kirby friends by using your magical Cell Phone. Or,if you want,invite a couple of friends and tackle the world together!You and your friends don't need to be in the same place,you all can just go do whatever you guys want. This is just how open ended Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is. You can copy other enemies abilities by sucking them up,and you can even share certain items between friends. The graphics are really good for a GBA game,it reminds-me of just how much the Kirby games evolved throughout the eras.The soundtrack is adorable just like ever. They are catchy tunes that never get dull. This game has a lot of content,and to finish this game 100% is to accomplish somenthing in life. The bosses are easy when you're alone,and they're even easier when you're with friends. This game is probably the closest thing we will ever have to a free roaming co-op multiplayer GBA game. Even on single-player,this game is very fun to play. But i highly recommend you to start a netplay session and grab some friends,because this game is extremely awesome on Multiplayer. There is nothing like it on the GBA.Your job is to re-unite the shards of the Amazing Mirror,so you can go and rescue Meta-Knight,and then...well,let's just say that stuff happens.I don't like to spoil games like that,so there. There is not much i can say about this game,except that it's worthy your every Viz. Play it,and finish it.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror review   Octometaknight
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is an amazing game overall and is extremely addictive. I normally play it every day to come up with challenges that other people can do.Amazingly, there isn't much of a storyline with only two cut scenes, But, the story seems clear: Dark Mind was attempting to take over the Mirror world, but Meta Knight tried to defeat him in case that Pop Star (Kirby's home planet) was his next target. However, upon Meta Knight's entrance to the Mirror World, a Mirror Equivalent was made: Dark Meta Knight, whom slashed Kirby into four (The mirror equivalent reference came from Shadow Kirby) and disguised himself as Meta Knight (whom was labeled ? ? ? in the boss of Radish Ruins) and bunked himself in Radish Ruins. However, the real Meta Knight turned out to be sealed in the large mirror at the spawn point (shown when Dark Meta Knight appeared in the mirror as well, but the real Meta Knight appeared, forcing him to reveal himself). At that point, Kirby battles the Dark Mind (and wins). Meta Knight returns with the four Kirbies (but it was unknown how they were separated). That technically sums up the storyline here.With all of these crazy new abilities, it's hard to know which ability is best (myself being either U.F.O or Master). It's also hard to recognize what ability you need at what time to unlock (a) secret(s). While confusing, the game is still extremely fun attempting to get to all of the rooms in the huge maze of rooms that appear in 9 worlds. The 9 worlds are (in case you were wondering): Rainbow Route, Moonlight Mansion, Cabbage Cavern, Mustard Mountain, Carrot Castle, Olive Ocean, Peppermint Palace, Radish Ruins, and Candy Constellation. I am also surprised to not find Whispy Woods in this game.

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror Review   Zircron Swift
Kirby is one of those Nintendo characters that always seems to make people happy. Just one look at his adorable face and you'l be overwhelmed with utter cuteness....at least, that's what I feel when I see him. I haven't played many Kirby games, but Kirby and the Amazing Mirror gave me a new meaning to adorableness. If you saw cute in the dictionary, a picture of Kirby will be there.....*looks it up*.....well, he won't be there.....but you get my point. Anyway, I thought I'll have a look at what this game has to offer.The game tells you the start of the story via menu screen, where high above the skies of Dream Land, the Mirror World requires help, as there is some evil monster unleashing terror and chaos. Meta Knight is going to stop it, and enters the mirror world via.....a mirror (of course, how else would you enter a mirror world?). However, Meta Knight appears in front of Kirby (awwwwwww!), and looks somewhat different. He then slashes Kirby into four different colours (awwwwwww!) and flies off. Kirby - or rather, the Kirbies (or would it be Kirby's?) - then gets on a warping star and follows Meta Knight to the Mirror (awwwwwww!).....and that's where the game should start. So you go to the main menu, and.....AWWWWWWWWWW! ^^      The Kirbies are jumping and flying around the menu screen. That's a nice touch.You have a selection of mini-games at the start, which feature (in a nutshell): eating, smashing and surfing respectfully. All fo these can be played with a friend or on your own. The first game is basically being the first to eat everything on the table via "sucking it up". When the food is shown, you just press A, so it's a test of reactions. I love how they are holdign a knife and fork, yet they don't use it (awwwwwsocutesocutesocute!). It can be really funny to see their expressions when they inhale bombs instead of those yummy apples. The second game is where you have to make the biggest crack in the earth. You are Ryu Kirby for this (I know it's called "Figher Kirby", but he bears too much resemblance to Ryu off Street Fighter, with all those hadoukens and shoryukens and of course, the red bandana, but I digress), you just need to press A at the right time to charge you attacks, and then release that energy on the right spot. The third is really just a race on water on a surf-board, and pressing A on the tip of a ramp will give you a boost (very much like the recent Mario Kart games).

You can also collect items found in red chests. This can range to different colours to wear or listening to different pieces of music (when the music player is found). Some of these chests are easy to find, and some are harder. Look out for big red chests, and they'll mostly contain maps that will help with navigation (wait.....Navi-gation? Is that why the fairy in OoT was called Navi, to Navi-gate Link? I digress again, sorry) throughout the area. You start your adventure in Rainbow Route, as you are chasing what appears to be Meta Knight. My first reaction, you ask? Well, first, it was "awww", then it was "awwwwwww", and then, when I sucked up some angel with a bow, I was "AWWWWWWWWW! I'm Cupid Kirby! Look at those wings, he is just so adorable!" Cupid Kirby is infact my favorite power for Kirby, as it bears much liking to Pit.

Anyway, getting more serious now, you suck up enemies an take their powers. And to all those average-joe enemies, you get no powers if you suck those up. You can, however, spit them out as another attack. But there is one enemy you do not want to suck up. It's called a scarfy, and it looks like a harmless adorable floating head, but if you try to suck it up, the head will go demented and will chase after you. First time I came across this little fellow, he scared me a lot. I almost grew a phobia against them. You can easily kill them with a puff of air. You come across switches that open door to the next seciton of that levels and doorways to the Hub world, making tranportation easy. You can call your "friends" to help fight enemies, which is nice, but they often go walk abouts and are scattered all around, so you have to call them again. It's cute to see Kirby with a mobile phone to call for help, and you need to recharge it after every three uses.

Anyway, once you clear the first part of the game, you come across the Mirror that you saw at the beginning of the game, and Meta Knight, who doesn't appear to be himself and slashes the Mirror into eight different equal shards, and they scatter all around Dream Land. This can't be Meta Knight, and I'm pretty sure that by now, you would have noticed that he has this dark tint to him. So your objective is to collect all the Mirror shards, enter the Mirror world and defeat the menace that threatens Dream Land....and I guess save Meta Knight while your there. The whole place is one big maze. You need to find the map system otherwise you'll be playing a very cute version of Metriod. I think this game was intended to be played with more than one player to split-up and explore the entire area, as it is a rather huge place.

You will find mini-bosses, which you can suck up to get their powers if you can defeat them, as well as.....wait a moment. Is that.....master Hand? Master Hand is in this game! It's a reference to Super Smash Bros.! Boy, what power could I get when sucking him up? Maybe I'll be in a hand suit and preform various hand attacks or something. What is the power you get when sucking up Master Hand? Does Crazy Hand make an appearence? Well, play the game and you'll see =D     You will also meet bosses that guard the Mirror shards, as well. This can range to a mole, or even a stone wall with a face (much like Wispy Woods).

The graphics are adorable. Nearly every enemy has a cute charm that begs to be hugged, but hugging them in game will result you in getting hit. In fact, just touching them will make you get hit. There isn't even a hugging attack, what am I thinking? The attention to detail in the background is nice, and the surroundings fit the area well....Mustard Mountain? Olive Ocean? Cabbage Caverns? Carrot Castle? It's mostly named after food! Is that what dreamland is? Just a collection of food featured areas? I don't know, it's probably not important.

The music is nice and settling, yet I can't help but feel that something is missing. The boss music sets the mood, and the music on the go is rather catchy, yet something is bothering me about it. The game is rather challenging, but only if your reckless, and besides, the game is rather generous with pieces of chicken tomatoes cake and 1-ups, and even if you die, you only return to the start of that section. You only return to the Hub world if you lose all your lives. I like how it doesn't waste time with a Game Over screen.

Overall, I give this game an 8.5/10        It's adorable, and it's cute. Those are my highlights, but other than that, it game has fluid controls, a huge variety of different powers that have amusing out-somes, and most importantly, it has a lot to offer, with secrets around every corner and hidden passages in only the eagar will find. It's a fun game, and can be a joy to see that cute little guy all the time. If I ever want to smile, then this game does the job every time.

Kirby and The AMAZING Mirror!   naco26withcheese
Kirby and The Amazing Mirror is a wonderful creation of a Gameboy Advanced game that has been raised and brought into our Gameboys with love and care. This game appeals in so many ways, to the eye, ear, and to the fingertips as well. Kirby has long been a staple of Nintendo, as we mostly think of Mario when we think Nintendo. However, the pink puffball can't be left in the dust, can he? Just look how adorable he is, look at his face! Kirby is an alien from the planet Popstar, and has a rather intriguing adventure to embark on, using the power of multiple versions of himself in order to save the day. I always played this game when I was little, and since the Ambassador Program aired on the Nintendo 3ds soon after its launch, I was graced with the wonderful game that blessed my tiny, six year old mind, with images of the happy, food nomming, enemy swallowing hero that is Kirby. Through countless hours of rolling through the same levels for the satisfying pleasure of finding a new, hidden area! The addition of three other Kirbies also added a fun, group factor to the game! (Even though I spent most of my time playing alone... Heh). But that's besides the point. Graphics: 10 The graphics in this game are absolutely wonderfully constructed, albeit sometimes a little unclear given the size of the items and enemies in comparison to the large amounts of things on the screen all at once. However, the beautiful textures and appearances of the many, MANY areas of the game will keep you entertained for very long, as you pass by enormous castles, freezy winter-lands, and harsh lava areas as well. Clean and sleak even down to the rather large enemies, the graphics are well on par for the Gameboy Advance's time. The food looks absolutely scrumptious, the mini games have an art style almost completely to their own, and the enemies look absolutely tasty! Er... Never mind that last bit. But where the game really shines is the Copy Abilities that Kirby has the option of obtaining when he swallows an enemy. In the start menu, you also get a cool, if not amusing, witty description of the copy ability at hand with some artwork there as well (I'm talking to you, Tornado copy ability)! If I had to pick one aesthetic of the game to truly praise, however, it would be the bosses. Doing a bit of spritework myself, I understand how difficult it is to make huge monsters look clean pixel by pixel, so seeing a fresh load of unique, fearsome bosses, from a giant, bomb barfing present monster to a frosty giant that shakes its butt at you, they're supremely wacky and interesting in their own way. No boss feels out of place in this game, and their attacks are varied and interesting to use. Some of the very first worlds have the most beautiful, intricate background art if you're willing to take a second from the variety of spinning, toppling, flying, exploding, fiery, freezing, zapping enemies in order to see. Beautiful forests and stunning backgrounds, saturated and blended beautifully into the background. Of course, the foreground isn't without love as well! Beautiful adornments of pixels dot the screen to create a visible, interesting ambiance that lasts from area to area. It is shocking to look at exactly how much effort went into it all, as the beautiful masterpieces of art dance onto the screen, with so many areas and backgrounds to look at from world to world. Sound: 10 What else is there to say? Oh yeah, the music is AMAZING! The catchy tunes of the areas leave a mind entrancing tune that gets so easily stuck in your head! Although some areas can be repetitive if you do them over and over and over, the wide variety of areas as well as collectible music tracks leave a lot of beautiful tunes to be listened to at any given time. The beeps and boops from the different tracks along with the beautiful candy theme that plays whenever you get an item leaves a lot to be proud of. The little noises and sounds with each and every copy ability adds to the "wow" factor of using each! The game just wouldn't be the same with the volume down. Sometimes, the catchy tune from the music will leave me tapping my foot along to the music, or humming it in my head when I hear a song that sounds somewhat alike it. Kirby games are most fondly known for their upbeat, fragile music, which creates a sense of enjoyment and happiness, but this one compared to any other ones prior, takes the cake when it comes to this, as well as crazy, upbeat boss music to fist-pump along to. Multiple little electronic instruments dance and swat the music back and forth, creating a catchy, enjoyable beat. Story: 7 Kirby games tend to show rather than tell, as you will soon find out that there is very few pieces of dialog that actually tell you what the story is. This is the only part that gives the rating a good deduction, but for what you can inference, a "shadowy figure" has broken the Amazing Mirror, scattering it's shards all across different worlds! It's up to Kirby, (Meta Knight?) and the multiple versions of himself (that "Shadow" Meta Knight created by... Slashing kirby into four?!) to find, and recover the pieces of the mirror in order to restore balance. Although the richness of the story isn't very apparent, the show, is way better than the tell. Searching high and low for these pieces in order to fix the mirror drives the game ever forward, leaving lots of surprise twists along the way. Kirby will have to use the power of the Warp Star, and the other three Kirbies in order to combat all the monsters, solve puzzles, and even for some of the most tricky boss battles! However, the meaning of the story almost gets lost in translation between the start of the game and the end, where the entire reason of the mirror splitting apart because of Meta Knight and saving the world, transfers into "Gotta rebuild the mirror." Because of this, the game loses the purpose and it starts to dilute into the adventure rather than the whole purpose behind WHY you're even ON this adventure. The story is highly forgettable in essence, but as you revisit the main hub over and over and over, you'll take a glance at the mirror and remember what your task is. Addictivness & Depth: 10 There is SO much to do in this game. Collectibles are scattered throughout multiple levels, from musics to spray paints, as well as other little tidbits that lay about, such as secret doors or links to other areas, teleports and more! If there's one thing the Kirby games never fall short of, it's volume. Kirby and The Amazing Mirror is probably the greatest, if not the only open world Kirby game where you can constantly switch and explore the map all the way across from one world to another. There are always different copy abilities to find and monkey around with in order to find all the hidden goodies spread about the map! Spray paints allow you to change your Kirby to the color of your liking, such as chocolate brown or black, which is purely cosmetic, but sure is addicting to see all the different neat types of flavors you can paint our hero. The mini-games add a fun amount of depth, and a pleasing, alternate aesthetic to Kirby that isn't seen in the story mode. The replayibility on this game is super high, considering the completionist attitude of absolutely NEEDING to find all of the collectibles, play around with your favorite copy abilities, or fight your favorite boss once more. Difficulty: 7 The difficulty factor in this game depends on what you define as difficult. If you're looking for a quick blast through the game, there isn't much that's going to turn you broadside on your search. However, if you're hellbent on linking all the worlds together and finding every secret, every extra, and every copy ability, you're in for a long ride. Although the boss battles aren't particularly difficult, navigation and methods of climbing from point A to point B may be the thing that hinders your exploration of the game itself. Finding these tricky passageways or backtracking or mixing abilities in order to get that ONE that you need in order to open up the next area is where the adventure lies to a certain degree. As for combat, repetition and memorization will save you any major difficulty, but the lack of extra lives without more exploring can hinder first time players into starting back at the main hub a multitude of times, but which then leaves them able to explore a NEW area! Controls and Multi-Kirbies: 7.6 Kirby and The Amazing Mirror has controls that are, more so than not, tailored to the copy abilities that Kirby is able to obtain. These controls are made vastly easy, utilizing the maximum capacity of all the buttons on the Gameboy in order to fulfill each of the moves' criteria. For example, the Fighter move has a lot of different combos to use, but each comes out when commanded and how commanded. Some copy abilities have more usefulness than others with different moves to perform, but not once have I had myself dying from lack of the game's responsiveness to my input, or inability to perform specific moves. Now to address the AI in the game. In short, the other Kirbies aren't anything particularly special, as they can easily get jammed behind walls or find ways to directly put themselves within the line of fire. As a result, you'll usually end up losing a lot more Kirbies than your phone has batteries to call back. This usually leaves you on your own, or at least, in a cluster of struggling Kirbies who have difficulty dealing a moderate amount of damage to the enemy. Quite possibly the worst part is the lack of consistency with the copy abilities that the other Kirbies have, and an inability to control them. Sometimes one Kirby may have a copy ability you really need, but you have to direct them into danger for the purpose of getting their own ability, as group commands for them are nonexistent, and switching Kirbies is impossible. Due to this, the game seems severely hindered in it's prime feature of using multiple Kirbies. Sometimes they may surprise you or lead you to a secret area by accident, but that's more through trial and tribulation rather than genius AI. This isn't to say, however, that these Kirbies don't have any programmed smarts either. Some areas you absolutely NEED them in order to progress, or unlock a secret. Luckily so, the Kirbies know exactly what to do, even when you don't, sometimes, such as inhaling large blocks or breaking special metal ones. This at least alleviates that difficulty of finding and dealing with secrets that require multiple Kirbies. Although, you ARE able to heal some Bottom line, multiple Kirby combat= poor, treasure seeking secret finding Kirbies= way better. Overall: 8.5 Even with some of the slight drawbacks and amounts of repetition that this game has, it still holds its own through the wide variety of copy abilities, areas, and fun bosses to fight and shards to find. You may find yourself looking for a snippet of a music sheet only to find yourself facing an unexpected boss with a poor copy ability, or having to backtrack in order to find all the shortcuts. Although these may seem to be a hindrance, it creates a large sense of adventure and puzzle solving that other Kirby games seem to not be able to cram into missions, that this one does by cramming it into multiple worlds. For a casual, yet adventure seeking game, you need not look further than Kirby and The Amazing Mirror, for you'll find more than you could have wanted out of a commonly level based game, where this one breaks the mold tremendously. What Kirby could do better, what Kirby and The Amazing Mirror could do better, we may leave the blame up to the limitations of the Gameboy, because the ability to play such a vast multiplayer experience with your friends, may be one of the most exciting things for such an extraordinary game.

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror Review   Marcmoney
Overall - 9.2

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is so much fun. I am glad that my friend told me about this game.  When I played the game, the first thing that surprised me was the four Kirby's. They are in different colors which makes it cool and they can all get power ups which is even cooler.  What I love about this game is mostly the 4 Kirby's and that the game play is kind of like a maze.  The game is awesome, you have to play the game.

Graphics - 10

The graphics are excellent.  I liked the way it was made.  It is just like the other Kirby games.  The effects are so cool.  Seeing the ways the Kirby's fight and seeing the flashing lights just really gets me into the game.

Sound - 10

The sound is awesome.  It sounds like any other Kirby game.  The sound effects are good too, with the way the Kirby's attacking and the sound of winning.

Addictiveness - 8

I would play this game frequently.  It is a Kirby game that I have never played before and never heard of, and now it is very fun and I really like it so yeah I would play this a lot.

Story - 7

The story is surprising to me.  Meta Knight tries to stop the dark Meta Knight, but before doing that, he slices Kirby into four, making four different colored Kirby's and Meta Knight goes into Mirror World to stop the dark Meta Knight.  Apparently, Meta Knight gets defeated and now it is up to Kirby to stop the dark Meta Knight and save Mirror World.  Pretty interesting if you ask me. It is surprising that Kirby is going to help Meta Knight and stop the dark Meta Knight.  I would never see that happening.

Depth - 7

The game is quite big, it has a lot of levels and you can go back to a saved point (I don't really know what it is called but it looks like a break room).  You can also call your other three Kirby's to help you out in battle.  It is a good thing to have other Kirby's helping you out in the game.

Difficulty - 3

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is not that hard.  The 4 Kirby's can help you out and I think they are invincible.  They are really good for help when you need it.  The enemies are not hard too.  I guarantee that this game is not as hard as you think it is.

Wrap Things Up...

Kirby series have been so perfect throughout the decade.  Their games are amazing and the way it is made gets everyone's attention, even though Kirby is a female, it still is fun to play as her.  I recommend trying this game out, it is a whole lot of fun if you are a Kirby fan. :)

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror   marcus047
Game Background- Kirby and the amazing mirror is the second game in the franchise to come out for  the Game Boy Advanced System, I would consider it a squeal to its earlier installment called Kirby nightmare in dream land. In this game, Kirby must once again fight a notorious villain that lurks in the shadows who aims to destroy all of dream land by using a magic mirror that the villain himself is trapped in. To stop this villain, Meta knight has broken this mirror into numerous pieces so that way the villain can never escape from it, but Kirby doesn't know that Meta knight has broken the mirror to stop the villain from getting out into dream land to spread evil. So in response to Meta knights actions Kirby  is collecting the pieces of the mirror to make it whole again, because he thinks Meta knight has broken for some unjust reason.Graphics- The graphics for this game are fornominal for its time. The animations and level/stages layouts are very complex and go into alot of detail with colorization and design. The games detail in Kirby facial expressions(such as blinking eyes and cheeks go red to simulate blushing) as well as his enemy's facial expressions and  motor functions in the game are excellent. The graphics go above and beyond what you'd normally expect out of a Game Boy Advanced game. So for graphics I gave this game a 10 out of 10.Sound- The sound acoustics and display are beautiful in this game with its well diversity in a different sound track for each stage and at certain way points within the stage. The sound is very high quality with its near perfect pitch, and quite frankly it should have been the model base of the sound for the Game Boy Advanced system. So for sound I gave this game a 10 out of 10.Addictiveness-This game is highly addictive because of it's mini games and as well as it's main game play. You can collect spray cans and music notes/soundtracks throughout the game. The spray cans change the color of main Kirby and the sound tracks allows you to play different songs heard in game. So between the collect able spray cans, soundtracks, mini games and main game play this game takes a considerable amount of time to beat and ultimately had me fighting my self to stop playing to get some sleep. So for addictiveness I gave this game a 10 out of 10. Story- The story goes Kirby has just awoken from a good nights sleep, when all of sudden he see's Meta knight racing to get some where rather hasty, so naturally Kirby thinks Meta knight is up to no good so he purse's him. Meta knight after he realizes Kirby is hot on his trail pursuing him he turns around with his sword and cuts Kirby in to four  different Kirby's(red Kirby,yellow Kirby and green Kirby).Now with his 3 other Kirby self's, the Kirby's all chase after Meta knight. Meta knight manages to escape Kirby due to Kirby's confusion over the fact that there is now four of him, Meta knight goes straight for the magic mirror in dream land and immediately cuts it in to 6 pieces and then flees in to a door. So now its up to Kirby to hunt down Meta knight and figure out why he's broken the mirror into 6 pieces and put the mirror back together again by collecting the pieces. So for story I gave this game a 10 out of 10, although there isn't much dialog in it.Depth- The game is huge, and takes a very long time to reach 100% complete, because to get that you must find all the spray paint cans, all the music notes and soundtracks and maps. The mini games are very fun between the wave riding and eating , and smashing mini games and a secret mini game you unlock after you get 100% called boss battle! Just beating the main game alone with out getting all the spray cans and soundtracks, and maps it takes about an estimated time of 2 to 3 weeks to beat if you take your time and enjoy every feature this game has to offer players. So for depth I gave this game a 10 out of 10.Difficulty- Well (sigh)  the game could have been harder to beat, the games A.I. For Kirby's enemy's gives you ample opportunities to  find there weakness and injure them. The game does have a large range of sub bosses for each stage so that added to the difficulty some. But overall I rated the difficulty for this game a 7 out of 10.Overall: Overall I rated this game a perfect 10 out of 10, because of it's amazing graphics and details, its very long story that holds your interest even though it lacks dialog, and  for its diverse range of sub boss and main boss.

Once again, Kirby must save the kingdom from evil. But this time he'll need some backup. As Kirby, you can call up one of four alter egos for help during your quest. Each character features new copy abilities that range from arrow-shooting to melee moves. Practice your skills in new side games, such as Crackity Hack and Speed Eaters. In addition to new abilities and subgames, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror also introduces new multiplayer modes.
