Kirby Star Allies – Message Board

Amazing Mirror was a great game, and was actually pretty challenging for a Kirby game, what with the small amount of health that you have to start. It introduced us to characters like Dark Meta Knight and Mirror World Kirby, plus it's the only Kirby game without Whispy Woods or Dedede. I don't really care if we ever get to go to the Mirror World again, I just want the Metroidvania gameplay style to return to a Kirby game. I thought it worked really well; Amazing Mirror is my favorite Kirby game and IMO all it's missing is Super Star-style movesets.

Why is this a good thing? At best, it’s neutral. Besides, they pretty much had Whispy in King Golem

Metroidvania Kirby is a dream of mine too. I really enjoyed amazing mirror but it was basically just a ton of branching paths.

If copy abilities were unlocked over time that could let you in to new areas that would be awesome. Like the basics like ropes can be cut once you get sword, stakes pounded with hammer. Floating could be limited like in 64 so you'd need wing to get to certain high places etc.

It always kind of bugged me that the Mirror World didn't show a King Dedede counterpart...(though I guess that's what Shadow Dedede was in Triple Deluxe Dedede storyline).

I really liked the Golem enemy, kind of sad they never returned (would have appeared in the Kirby GCN game had it not been cancelled).

I always like to think of the counter parts as:

King Golem to Whispy Woods
Wiz to Paint Roller
Kracko to Kracky
Moley to Mrs. Moley
Master Hand and Crazy Hand to Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright
Mega Titan to Heavy Mole
Gobbler to Acro
Dark Meta Knight to Meta Knight
Dark Mind to Nightmare
Shadow Kirby to Kirby

My own speculation =D

I want another game where you can play with others and explore the entire world like that doing your own thing.

I like Amazing Mirror and the Great Cave Offensive and the like, but honestly I don't think Kirby makes the transition to Metroidvania that well. It can work but I think it generally feels like a step down.

Implement online and I think you're on to s winner there

Aside from the metroidvania style, I'd like to see some enemies from AM return too. Remember Prank? Leap? Amazing mirror IMO had the best set of normal enemies. Also Box Boxin>Knuckle Joe. fite me.

It's not really a good thing, I just included it because it's another unique thing about Amazing Mirror that sets it apart from other Kirby games. But you're right, King Golem is the mirror version of Whispy, but at least they didn't make Whispy's mirror version another Whispy like they did for Kracko.

I actually really like that Amazing Mirror doesn't have any unlockable abilities or character progression (at least not any that affects your ability to explore). It sets the game apart from other Metroidvanias, and I love the feeling of having the entire game at your fingertips once you finish Moonlight Mansion. I won't discriminate though-- I like any Metroidvania I can get my hands on-- so I'd be open to unlockable copy abilities.

I'd agree completely. Amazing Mirror experimented with multiplayer in a unique way that's almost MMO-like in a sense. The game isn't designed for multiplayer like Star Allies is, but you can do it if you have the hardware, and because each player has their own screen, you can tackle areas as a team, or split off and just explore the world by yourselves. It's a shame most people (myself included) never even knew enough people with the game to play 2-player, much less full 4-player co-op. And that's not even counting the number of link cables you'd need!
