What do you get when you put Kirby on a golf course? Well, you get Kirby's Dream Course on the SNES of course! The game was released on February 21, 1995, and it actually became the first game in the series to receive a rating from the ESRB. The game was good enough to receive a rerelease on the Wii U Virtual Console last year. What do I think of this game? I'll tell you by making this review.

Graphics: 8/10
The visuals of each course in this game were made in an isometric perspective, similar to the way that the first 2 Roller Coaster Tycoon games were made on PC. All the holes and courses have recurring characters in the series that block your path to the hole, each of which are well detailed and look as great as you'd expect them to look on an SNES game. One thing I've never understood about this game though is why each course looks more like a checkerboard or chessboard than an actual putt-putt golf course. I mea, it would've made much more sense to make the courses have fairways, and a green right by the hole. While it would've been nice to see the courses look a little more realistic, the visuals in Kirby's Dream Course are good enough for me to give the graphics an 8.

Sound: 7/10
Like most Kirby games out there, Kirby's Dream Course has a pretty nice soundtrack. Some of my personal favorite music in the game included the theme for the first hole and the final boss theme, which are among my favorite tunes for the SNES Kirby games. The overall soundtrack isn't quite as memorable as the one from Kirby Super Star, and it lacks remixes of classic tunes like green greens, which I would've loved to see. Overall though, the music and sounds in Kirby's Dream Course are good enough for me to give the sound category a 7.

Addictiveness: 8/10
I can't think of any Kirby game that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed, and Kirby's Dream Course is no exception. In this game, Kirby is the ball, and you must guide him to the hole on each course in order to move onto the next hole. In each hole, there's a certain number of enemies you must kill in order for the hole to appear (which always shows up where the last enemy you took out was). There are some enemies that can't be taken out, such as the Whispy Woods trees and the spikes, which will deal damage out to you, resulting in less turns to complete the hole. In addition,  there's medals you can get in each hole, which I'll get into later in this review. Overall, Kirby's Dream Course manages to make miniature golf as a video game be pretty fun to play. Overall, I'm giving the addictiveness an 8.

Story: N/A
Kirby's Dream Course doesn't really have a storyline, so I'm leaving this category blank.

Depth: 7/10 Kirby's Dream Course has a decent amount of content. There are 8 courses for Kirby to go through and 8 holes on each course, making a total of 64 very different holes to go through. In addition, each hole has medals for you to earn based on how quickly you can finish them. Some of the holes in the game can be very tricky to get gold on, so 100% completing the game will take some time. Other than that though, there isn't much to do in Kirby's Dream Course. It would've been nice to see some more game modes added to this game, like there were in Kirby's Super Star (which by the way was also on the SNES). Other than that though, there's enough content for me to give the depth a 7.

Difficulty: 7/10
The golf courses in Kirby's Dream Course aren't exactly the toughest ones I've seen in gaming, but they provide enough of a challenge to where the game isn't too easy to beat. In addition, based on your skill in each level, you can earn medals based on your performance. There's bronze, silver, and of course, gold. Getting gold on each course is a very tough task to complete, and it's one of the main reasons why if you're looking for a challenging mini-golf game to beat, Kirby's Dream Course is the game for you. I'm giving the difficulty a 7.

Overall Score: 7.8/10
Kirby's Dream Course offers what you'd expect from a Kirby based mini golf game. It has very fun courses with medals that you can get based on your performance, nice looking graphics, very addicting gameplay for a miniature golf game, and a good soundtrack. I wish that the holes would've looked more like holes you'd see in a miniature golf course. I also wish that there would've been some remixes of Kirby songs from games that came before Dream Course, and it would've been nice to see some extra game modes. Still, Kirby's Dream Course a nice game to play for those who like Kirby and mini golf. Overall, I'm giving Kirby's Dream Course a 7.8 out of 10. I hope you enjoyed reading this review of a fun Kirby spinoff game.

Wow your review makes me want to try to this game. I actually forgot about this game in the Kirby franchise. It sounds like its a good game and has its special place among Kirby Games.  I actually like Kirby games. My favorite games are Mega Man games, baseball games, Kirby games and Mario. Kirby is a franchise that I think gets overlooked. But the games are awesome

tornadocam : Yeah, Kirby games don't seem to get the love they deserve. While I do prefer Mario games, more people should start playing Kirby games because they can be just as fun as any other major platforming series. I'm glad that I managed to get you interested in this spinoff by making this review.
