I had the case and manual, but no game. So I bought the game. That seems kind of silly, but it is what it is.

So, I had to test the game - to make sure the cart worked and all that.

So far, it's pretty interesting! I played the first "mission" (it said the difficulty was easy) and it took me a bit to get used to Kirby's swallow-and-gain-special-ability power. Some enemies give you a special ability when you press a button after swallowing them. This is instead of just "firing" them. There's like three buttons and I still get them confused to be honest. We'll see what happens as I play more.

The first mission has maybe 4-5 levels. And then it rolled credits! I was surprised of course - but I knew there was more game. The credits also rolled really fast which was kind of funny. And then it played a "of its era in terms of quality" CG cut-scene/movie. Weird.

Now I need to explore all the other things that opened up. There's also a 2-player co-op mode...
