Super Star Ultra
I beat Revenge of the King. The final level was so fun lol, it was very entertaining to watch King Dedede
scramble to throw everything and everyone to hold Kirby off. Even poor Bandana Dee was thrown under the bus!
In any case, I thought the credits scene was nice. Just King Dedede smiling tiredly at his subjects, who
for some reason continue to support him and tolerate his nonsense, as they slowly arrive by his side.
In general I really like how low-stakes the whole thing was. It was just normal Kirby shenanigans, and the
whole thing was pretty inconsequential (though I suppose world-threatening dangers is moreso the norm in Kirby
games than anything else, really). The only thing that happened when King Dedede lost is that he got
sent flying out of the castle, which I'm inclined to believe he has to be pretty much used to by now.
So after that, I moved on to Meta Knightmare Ultra. I love how Meta Knight controls. His movements are so
snappy, and he does a lot of damage. The whole having to tap the screen to use abilities thing is pretty clunky,
but I don't need to use it that often anyway, so I guess it's fine. All in all, I'm having a good time!

Super Star Ultra
I beat Milky Way Wishes. I blew through it faster than I thought I would. I remember when I first played
Super Star, I struggled so much with it, especially the final boss. I guess this means I've improved somewhat!
I moved on to Revenge of the King after that. I guess this is a new one for Super Star Ultra, and I like it!
The replaced enemies are very fun. Very similar to the originals, but different enough to give everything
a fresh coat of paint. Plus, it's also nice to see a few returning faces from older games. Other than that
and the updated graphics, it's very much standard Kirby fare--not that that's a bad thing, of course! In any
case, I'm interested to see how this new gamemode plays out.

Super Star Ultra
I'm almost done with Kirby Super Star Ultra! I just finished Revenge of Meta Knight, so I'm moving on to
Milky Way Wishes. For some reasons, of all the gamemodes, I don't really remember Milky Way Wishes that well...
Like, I remember the story and the final boss, but not the levels. I guess that's probably because you unlock
it later, so I didn't play it as much as the others. But that's okay! It'll be like playing it for the first
time all over again!!
In terms of how I feel about SSU, I really like it! I mean, I guess it would be hard to mess up with such good
source material, but still. It's a solid remake; takes all the good parts of the old game, improves performance,
and updates the "outdated" bits. While I'll always have a soft spot for SS's graphics, the artstyle in the
newer games is also really appealing. All in all, I'm having a good time ^_^
