Off the beaten Kirby path

The other Kirby handheld games like Nightmare in Dreamland, were great games that were fun to play, and a good amount of content. Super Star Ultra does not have a lot of content, and its broken up into missions, where there are different objectives. One has you defeating Dedede, one has you collecting treausre, one is a tied battle throughout Halberd. It doesn't seem like the usual Kirby. It is fun, and the addition of helpers, which are Ai that comes in for your abilites, are nice, except that they can be idiots. They don't attack, and sometimes they grab onto you while you are floating. It weighs you down and can destroy your lives. Multplayer is fun, with another player taking controls of helpers, but it doesn't excite enough. The DS doesn't come into gameplay, which is weird, because they did some good things with squeak squad. Overall, it's just Ok, and I wouldn't reccommend unless you are a Kirby fan. But even then, it doesn't feel like the handheld Kirbies. I haven't played a console Kirby, so it might be like that, but definatly doesn't live up to expectations. A 2
