Product Description

Kirby Super Star plays like a standard 16-bit era platforming video game, in which Kirby, the main character, can go left, right, up and down on a two dimensional plane. Throughout each level, Kirby must avoid touching environmental hazards and a variety of enemies, who mostly have their own attacks. Kirby has a health meter, and when this is depleted, Kirby loses one life and returns to a save point. If he loses all of his lives, the game ends.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best deals in video games ever.
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

So yes, this is a remake of the SNES Kibry Super Star, but before you say that this is just a remake, they did add quite a bit. They updated the graphics just a little to make it seem new, but it also has the 8 original game modes plus an additional 4 new game modes (the TrueArena is crazy challenging, took me 2 weeks of hard work to beat). Also it has 2 original minigames plus 3 more new minigames. This is the best deal on any handheld system.

Pros:
-Classic Kirby is taken to a whole new level in difficulty, but still keeps the same feeling as it did on the SNES
- It's one of the few DS games that is way better to play Co-Op than it is to play alone (that said, it is still crazy fun to play by yourself)
- There are 19 abilities that you can use (plus a couple special abilities such as, paint or mike)
- Each game mode is super unique and it feels as if you play 12 different games.
- The game actually has animated cutscenes (pretty amazing to have all this content on one cartridge)

Cons:
- This is one of the few games that, to me, is perfect in everything from style to gameplay to replayability. So I have no cons.

Other:
- I highly recommend playing Co-Op with a friend (you can download play it)

You should buy this because this game is a classic, hence is why it was remade. This is what every remake should strive to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate Kirby
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017

Kirby Super Star for the SNES is still considered by many to be the ultimate and most essential Kirby experience, featuring very vibrant, cartoony graphics that stand out as some of the finer on the system, an excellent soundtrack, very fun, fast and frantic gameplay, tons of awesome abilities, and a slew of varied game modes and 'stories' to play. It's up there with Nintendo's finest and any fan should definitely play it...

...except for the fact that THIS version exists, which is the exact same game but even better in every way, touched-up graphics and sound, more modes, more moves, awesomely fun and challenging extra content and basically a poster child for how to do a port/update of a game the right way. So yeah, if you like Kirby at *all* or just want to sample the best version of the most defining game in one of Nintendo's most popular franchises, you owe it to yourself to get this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty KSS remake with some polish and new surprises
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016

Just like I remember it on the Super Nintendo, but better! (and by better I mean much more portable with extra content to keep the fun going longer.)
Kirby Super Star always was a fun experience for me because of the multitude of gaming options to choose from and how stages are set up it was an easy game to pick-up-and-play whenever without having to be committed to getting to the end. And the sheer number of copy abilities (with few special-secret abilities thrown in too) made tackling obstacles an interesting freedom-of-choice as some abilities can achieve similar results on certain puzzles.
The SNES classic  Kirby Super Star  was a relaxed, charming experience that supported another player jumping in to help at any point and this DS remake does not appear to revolutionize this formula, rather keeping fairly faithful to the classic with a few modern tweaks to cut scenes, a couple new story-line games, and a couple of new touch-exclusive mini games. Fun little casual Kirby platformer that can be picked up or put down and replayed for the journey, not the destination.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Pretty Good Re-release of a Great Game
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2013

Being an enormous fan of the original Kirby Super Star (I've still got it and play it occasionally on my ole' Super Nintendo), this seemed like a no-brainer for me. It's still a great game, though I actually prefer some of the graphics on the Super Nintendo, which had a primitive 3D look to many of the pre-rendered backgrounds. However, it plays great on the DS/3DS, and if you've never tried a Kirby game (or you've tried and liked others), this is the definitive high point of the franchise. The game is split into 7 or so smaller adventures that build on one another, and the change in tone and whatnot helps keep it from getting old. The only annoying thing is that co-op is more difficult to utilize than before, given that you need a whole other system if you want to play anything more than Spring Breeze, whereas before you just needed another controller and a friend. This is a shame, since Kirby Super Star Ultra is at its best played with a friend. All in all, a great game and a great deal, particularly if you missed out on the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game but getting rare so get one while you still can
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2015

Great classic. Yes you can play this free on an SNES emulator but I wanted to be able to play this on the go without lugging around my PC or Laptop and a USB controller. The 3DSXL is cheaper and smaller. Since I don't want to risk modding my 3DSXL I went with buying the actual cartridge. Only a few Gamestop stores have a used copy of this game on their shelves, typically the centralized ones in big cities. It's getting more expensive to get a copy anymore because they are drying up, so get it while you can. Info on the game can be found anywhere since it's so old in the original form, it's a great classic Kirby game with good controls and a decent amount of gameplay. Difficulty can vary mostly on user skill level, but it greatly ramps up towards the end to give even lifetime veterans like me a challenge on the last few segments. For the most part it's a fun and slightly forgiving game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sidescroller and very well made!

This game is excellent, perfect for Kirby fans who enjoyed the original Kirby Super Star/Fun Pak

The games controls are very nice and work really well. The graphics have a more GBA feels than the original SNES but the levels are very well remade and should please most fans. All of the original games are present (Spring Breeze, Dyna Blade, Gourmet Race etc.) but HAL have added some new games to keep you interested. Overall the game is very good and its portability only adds to the experience.

If you remember the original SNES version then you'll know about the great 2 player action. This is where Super Star Ultra falls short. I tried to play single card co-op but it suffers from a major flaw. In this mode player 2s actions are only seen on player 1s DS screen which means 2 people must huddle around a very small screen and if that's the case you may aswell just buy the Wii virtual console version for 2 player if you have a Wii. If you're not buying just for 2 player then you won't be disappointed but if you want to relive the old co-op experience then there's no point just get the Wii version.

To sum up: Great game, really fun but poor 2 player makes it a primarily solitary experience. Great pick up and play game that won't disappoint traditional Kirby fans and for those wanting to get into Kirby this game is a good start!
