      Speaking of the entire series, you know a video game franchise rocks (no pun intended, because it’s the opposite word for “sucks”) when even the weakest games in the franchise that were lowest on the list, while not objectively great, have that traditional Nintendo (let alone Kirby) charm.
      It just makes you question, how is it imaginable at this rate if Kirby had a bad game (or other media, for that matter)?
      It’s imagination timen
      *Ken Penders (alongside makers of Sonic comics before Ian Flynn and his team) make Archie Kirby comics where Kirby is actually misogynistic enough to be a serial cheater and everyone else is a jerk in their own ways whether it be King DeDeDe and Escargoon being one-dimensionally evil or Metaknight wanting to kill a lot of other characters like Kirby because of how edgy they think they are or Tiff having an obsessive crush on Kirby who only sees her as a friend*
      Or if it had a Disney live-action remake by King DeDeDe except for the fact that it has the over-realistic character design style of those movies (not to mention the Archie Comics also having inconsistent character designs) that reimagined the Disney Renaissance from a wonder to behold to a joke that questions its own existence besides being cash-grabs that make them richer and richer regardless of people that are actually in need.

I feel like Star Allies gets a very bad rep only because of its expectations, coming off the backs of 3 of the best games in the series and moving to a new console, everyone was expecting something that redefined what Kirby could be when we ended up getting an only decent kirby experience.

      Yeh, unfortunately even with all the extra content in the form of updates they released , the main mode is just too bland for the most part, and the new friend combos are either an extra movement or a few minutes of one player doing neat stuff while the others just watch, which is too much of an oversight for a title so focused on co-op. It's not a bad game, far from it, but for a Kirby game there's too many things to fix to stand up alongside the other titles

      @@professornova1236 I agree that Star Allies' story mode was laughably easy even by Kirby standards, but it's not like the other games will really cause you to lose more than a life or two anyway (usually from instant death by pits or getting crushed). But aside from that, how was the game's content "unfinished"? It had a full story mode, an extra mode with a new final boss that let you play as ANY character in the game, one of the most fleshed out Arena modes the series has seen yet, a True Arena with a stronger version of the final boss, as per usual, and a few fun mini games. By Kirby's typical standards, everything was there since the beginning. Adding more characters, Heroes in Another Dimension, and an even HARDER version of the True Arena with an even harder version of the final boss just gave the game more content than any other Kirby game to date.

      @@davisprater4731 The full story mode was a very short experience with only four worlds that you could complete in under 5 hours. It doesn't help when you and your four friends could pummel through all the bosses in 10-30 seconds. Especially with elemental abilities.
      And we didn't get heroes in another dimension until 8 months later, where we finally got _closure_ to the main story. I personally don't hate the game, but it left alot to be desired imo.

    This was a pretty fun list to go through!

    I will say this AntDude, you're the main reason why I got into Kirby. I wanna thank you for that.

    We need a Rainbow Curse stage in Smash just for the Art Style.

    I don't remember when I subscribed but the closest estimate I have is that I was here before you started doing these cool thumbnails so I been subscribed for about 2 years

    I’m sad that I slept on Robobot for as long as I did. Granted, it was only for a few months, but I remember seeing a trailer for it at GameStop and thinking that Kirby had hit a new low. I couldn’t have been more wrong, because when I finally bought it, it quickly shot up to the top of my list. Absolutely fantastic game, and the creativity in the level design just never stops. So good.

    I watched the entire video waiting for Planet Robobot to show up because it was part of my childhood and up until recently, the only Kirby game I've played. words cannot express my joy and surprise when I saw it at #1

    Instead of thinking "which Kirby is better", I actually learned a lot about Kirby and the other games. So I got to thank you for that. And congrats for 500K subscribers! 🙌

    Top tens are already hard enough to put together; I can't imagine the amount of effort that went into this ranking! Well done, Antdude, and congrats on 500k!

    It’s interesting how some of your list is almost the polar opposite of Nathaniel’s list.
    Rainbow curse in particular.
    Nathaniel: “music not good”
    Antdude: “great music!”
    (For the record, I agree with Antdude, love the music in this one)
