Kirby's attempt at multiplayer online

Released in 2017, this is one of the multiple spin-off Kirby games that Hal made for the Nintendo 3Ds.

Title screen

And, to be honest, it isn't a very good one. It is a series of minigames where you have to do multiple things, like throwing apples to your zone, defeating other players in an arena, getting as many coins as possible, etc.

But none of them are that deep or interesting, and the story mode is you doing the same games over and over to get points and going through "harder" challenges, which are the same thing, but the players have slightly better AI.

Gameplay

I suppose this is way better if you play online, something you can't do now that the Nintendo 3Ds is dead, but even then, multiplayer-focused games like Mario Party can be enjoyed even if you are playing alone. Hence, this one has too little content to be entertaining for more than 15 minutes per day, and it feels like a free-to-play game, but you had to pay for it, which is even worse.

So, of the many spin-offs the franchise has, I'd say this is one of the worst, which is a shame because in general, the 3Ds games were good and cheap for the content you get.
