Is it still worth playing?
HAL Laboratory's 2008 anthology platformer for the Nintendo DS, an enhanced remake of Kirby Super Star made for the series' 15th anniversary. It keeps all the original game modes and adds four major new ones, with updated visuals and full motion video cutscenes. In its side scrolling levels Kirby walks, runs, jumps, swims and inhales enemies or objects to spit them out as bullets, and he can fly for a limited time. By eating certain enemies he gains copy abilities, and using one can produce a Helper, a character controlled automatically or by another player over wireless multiplayer. There are still plenty of ways to play, with many different games on one cartridge.
