"This grass feels funny" Kirby thought. "It feels like... PANTS!!"
The PAL version says “It feels like… TROUSERS!!!”
The storytelling of this game is so perfect >:]
T R O U S E R S
or if youre in europe in which it feels like trousers
How does he even know what pants feel like. No one in Kirby wears pants.
It's ironic how Kirby's epic yarn is still scorned by people for not having game over mechanics, when if you are trying to 100% the game, it gets really fucking hard.
Like all Kirby games, simple to finish, hard to complete~
My issue is more that the game treats itself like it is intended for babies.
Mainline Kirby games are piss easy to finish, easy to complete. Now stuff like Mass Attack, oooooooh god.
@@babyyoshi3099 in What exactly? The artstyle? Because that's what Kirby looks like, if you have a problem with that it's just not for you if a lovely colorful artstyle annoys you
Gameplay wise if you want to complete it it's actually really tough, you can't get hit once in most levels if you wanna make it
@@marx4538 no? Not really. Have you never played the true arenas? Unlocking all the fucking gold medals and minigames of epic yarn? God those are tough. Mass attack is one of the hard ones to complete tho, yeah
@@Fannintendociccio1
True Arenas are piss easy. They don't require you to do them no ability and you can spam shield. And that's not even mentioning that Hammer/Mirror/Jet/Archer/Dream Friends/Tornado/Spark all break the bosses in half and leave you undamaged. And the only bosses that don't let you use abilities are usually extremely easy to cheese (eg: star dream lets you avoid 99% of his attacks just by spamming the L/R buttons). Epic Yarn isn't a mainline and it was mentioned in the vid, but i don't think it's anything near say the levels of 100%-ing Rockman X games or even Sonic games.
Fighters 2 was amazing, it FINALLY explored Meta Knight and Dedede's dynamic. Something barely touched through the 20+ years in Kirby. Absolutely worth $20.
If you can't spare the $20, but still want to play online, that's included in the demo. Switch demos have been getting more and more content, and I like it.
@@imreallytomcat A demo of a game with online? that's beautiful
I love those 2 and i'm happy they explored their relationship in that game
It sucks so much that they just dropped the game and did nothing with it, it could've been so much more had they aknowledged it
Kirby Mass Attack is such an underrated masterpiece imo. Except I think the only reason I think that is because I just absolutely love Necrodius's design on an unhealthy level
Strato Patrol EOS NEEDS a full spin-off game.
Pikmin + Kirby = Good game
@@XSlimSxadyX I think kirby quest should get one too. The rpg concept for kirby is cool
As if you’d ever get a game over in any other Kirby game.
Mass Attack couldn't have come in a worse time, near the end of the DS lifespan and very close to the hyped Return to Dreamland, it's obvious the game was going to get overshadowed.
It's like Pokemon Black and White 2 being underperformed due to the game being released nearly two years AFTER the 3ds released. Very sad.
they should totally port it to mobile devices, seems perfect. simple and fun. also the dumb “top free” chart on the apple app store needs to have something other than “chat master” or “chore simulator” (i’m not kidding, that was a real game up on those charts)
I like how whenever Nintendo or HAL wanna try anything different, they look to Kirby. He just seems so versitle now. You can put him in anything. Pinball, Breakout, Yarn, Pikmin. Heck, I'm pretty sure he could pull off a FPS with the right ideas.
@@stayskeptic3923 nahnahnah
Kirby V: The Quakening
well, he does have infinite potential to become whatever's needed at the time.
With abilities like Archer (From Kirby 3DS), Cutter (except the boomerangs dont come back), Fire (Allows you to shoot fireballs), Ice (Allows you to shoot snowballs), Splash (Creates wave that damages everything in its path) Crash (Does heavy damage all around the map, even if other player not onscreen)
Mike (You know what it does), Dart (Lets you throw darts) Spear (Lets you do Spear Throws) Shuriken (Has low chance to throw a ninja shuriken. Has high chance to throw knife), Drill (Works like the drill thing from Kirby 64), Boomerang (Does low damage but has infinite pierce, comes back after like 5 seconds), Bomb (You know what it does) Scream (Damages all players on the map) Sleep (Copy essences scattered around the map), Hammer: (Throws a hammer like Hammer Throw from Return to Dream Land), Beetle (Works like from Kirby Star Allies, except... The buttons on the controller are different), Bell (Does average nearby damage) Plasma (Works like Spark's Spark Barrier and Spark Arrow, Spark Laser, Spark Wave) Spark (Works exactly like Spark from Return to Dream Land)
Mix Ability (If you have teammates): Splash Dart (Can do extra damage to Kirbies with the Fire ability) Burning Shuriken (Can do extra damage to kirbies with Splash or Ice) Freezing Archer (Freezes any foe for 2 seconds, dealing 5% damage), Electric Bell (Does 2.5% damage every second, electric effect stays for 3 seconds)
"Put him in court, I don't care." -Scott the Woz
We already have a Kirby fps in return to dreamland
A Kirby related Spin-off I really wanna see is a turn based RPG. I have thought so many times how cool it would be. As for the style of gameplay, I would really love it to be akin to the Mario and Luigi games, specifically the attack system having Kirby and friends doing different combination attacks with each other. If Kirby himself was the only playable character, I could see him using his different copy abilities as moves and having their power be based on that bar thing from that one minigame in mass attack. As for a story, I have a few jumbled ideas but nothing substantial.
Kirby has a built in job system with the copy abilities, and the dream friends can be other party members (if they don't just allow you to have a team of just Kirby's)
Wow I would love to see that. Really cool ideas for the gameplay aspects btw.
So you're telling me all these games are based off a character that vores things for substance?
And many of them feature Kirby turning into a ball OC
Hey Justin how's it going
Ah yes Justin y ,man how are you doing
Also, Kirby and Pac-Man have huge amount of appetite. Difference? Kirby ate everyone and everything on his path, but Pac did the same, except he didn't hold anything into his mouth like Kirby.
Oh welcome back to my comment sections lol
I've always disliked your fandoms videos, they weren't mean spirited and a lot of research clearly went into them, but they've been used so much as amunition by people who just wanted excuses to hate on series they dislikes and on their fans that it was really hard to enjoy them.
However, ever since the Kirby Lore video, I have been pleasantly surprised by the direction your channel has taken. I'd rather not make assumptions about how you feel about your old videos or why you decided to move to something completely different, but personnaly I'm all for it. The love that you have for what you talk about is really comes through in these more recent videos, and so does the work you put into them. So keep up the good work and best of luck to you.
Also, Mass attack is awesome, glad to see I'm not the only one who love it.
You got it spot on, as much as I enjoyed covering those topics it got to a point where no matter what I did, it'd always attract that same group who'd just come for the bad of fandoms and not the good. (Though that's also kinda my fault as my earlier fandom videos had next to no thought put into them) Tbh rn I have more inspiration and ideas for videos than I've had in ages and if I can dig myself out of the hole my channel is in, I'd love to continue making these types of videos.
@@TheRpgMonger That's amazing to hear ! You can be proud of yourself for realizing it and taking risks in going into another direction with your channel, I hope it pays off. Seems to me that you've already done most of the work in breaking the image you had. If someone like me who originaly wrote you off as "the guy who make videos about the bad sides of fandoms" can see how your channel have changed, anybody can. I'm looking forward to your future videos.
something that isn't mentioned in the video; clash deluxe/super kirby clash do not allow you to spend more than 30 dollars in total on gem apples
Why don’t all games with in app purchases have this!!!
it's definitely a feature that should be more commonplace
Really? Well, that's pretty Nintendo of them.
I really liked this when I was younger- I shelled out the full $30 to just not have to wait to play and to get all the upgrades. It's more like the "free trial" system except hidden a bit better. Definitely something I wish more FTP games did.
@@ireplytoeverything3122 Most games with in app purchases want you to spend more than 30$, plain and simple. HAL is just too wholesome to ever do that
Oh yes, Meta Knight and Dedede are the ultimate bros. Fighting together in sync as "sworn partners" and comforting each other by holding hands when they're defeated.
I've only played air ride, epic yarn, and mass attack. I didn't know there were this many spinoffs, lol
Canvas Curse is really good too alongside the ones you said.
Though I do gotta admit I have missed playing some of the gameboy era and other early spinoffs and 3ds deluxe spinoffs so I don't know about those.
@@AndroidHarris Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe is an absolute nightmare and it made me almost cry no joke
@@Josuh the hardest spin-off I ever 100% was mass attack cause of getting all the achievements. Though I haven't played dedede drum deluxe... but judging by the normal version in triple deluxe I can tell it's would be really tough especially trying to get all those coins...
@@AndroidHarris I like to thing I'm relatively good at games, i can pick a game up and get used to it pretty quickly and have a good time with it, that was the case with Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe until that final level, oh gosh, that final level took me literal DAYS if not WEEKS of constantly trying to beat it 100%, it reached a point where i could pretty much play the beginning of the level with my eyes closed yet not being able to perfectly finish it to 100% on this already short game, i had never experienced something like that and I haven't touched it in months after i finally got it, i fear drums now
DDDD is no joke
I'm so glad you talked about Canvas Curse's art direction because it's just SO GOOD. Heck, even the menus have unusual design choices that remind me of modernist art. It's just such a perfect little jewel...
Kirby is love, Kirby is life, also spinoffs of Kirby are pretty good.
This comment is all over the place
what a suprise
Man you should of said nice so it rhymed
KIRBY IS GOD
A Kirby air ride sequel would be nice. I mean they have the box model from Kirby fighters 2. So maybe Kirby air ride 2 soon? What would you like to see in this new game?
There is a big chance kumazaki may be planning it. Star allies had a 3d vehicle final boss phases, and the Kirby series is going into the new era. I wouldn't be surprised they would make air ride 2 to test the 3d engine for the new mainline game, or viceversa
I would love to see a new air ride game since the original was the only reason I wanted a Gamecube growing up. It's also more or less been proven to be possible to expand the game or at least City Trial from the Japanese online fan game Airride Modoki. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated for a few years now but it's basically city trial with at least 1 new map and a ton of new machines and functionality for up to 16 players at once. I would love to see some of its concepts make it into a new official version of air ride
Oh gosh, Air Ride 2 has such ridiculous amounts of potential! I've spent way too much time thinking of what a sequel could bring. Apologies for the incoming wall of text!
Obvious additions would be new courses and vehicles. A wheelie that glides instead of jumps would be cool! Perhaps it could have wings that fold in when it's on the ground. We could get courses based on established areas throughout the Kirby games. New abilities for Kirby would be cool too. I'd think that abilities like water or whip would be easy to implement.
The ability for more players to play at once would be really cool. And of course online play for all modes! Imagine how awesome an online 8-player city trial session would be? A team mode would be nice too!
Now that Kirby has a much fuller cast than it did back then, having all the dream friends from Star Allies be playable would be really cool! Each one could have different abilities/attacks as well as stats that each character is better or worse in. Also the characters would be able to drive any vehicle just like Kirby can, so Dedede wouldn't be confined to just that big wheelie he had in the original Air Ride. Not sure how winged characters like Meta Knight or Marx would work, perhaps you could have the option of either playing as a flying version of them that can't ride vehicles like how Meta Knight was in the original, or a more standard version that can't fly on their own but can ride vehicles? Of course the characters would have to be playable in City Trial. It's just a pipe dream but having costumes for each of the characters in addition to the alternate colors would be totally awesome! Green Magolor definitely has to be shopkeeper Magolor!
New City Trial maps would be nice in addition to the OG map. A map that takes place in Access Ark would be cool! Or a map based on the Mirror World with areas based on each of the levels/worlds. Maybe Grip could be added as a stat to the vehicles? New events that happen and maybe even map-exclusive events would be nice as well!
New stadium games would be great, maybe more of the ones that test the stats of the players' vehicles similar to air glider, drag race and high jump. I think there should be the option to play more than just 1 minigame at the end of each City Trial, since wandering around the city for up to 7 minutes to compete in a minigame that sometimes lasts only seconds feels like a bit of a waste. In addition to that, there should be the option to select which minigames can and can't happen at the end of City Trial, rather than having to choose between just one minigame or all of them.
More boss battles could be interesting in a sequel. I always thought Miracle Matter could be turned into a cool boss for Airride, plus it would give HAL an excuse to make another remix of its theme, and it would be nice to have more minigames where the players all have to work together.
I hope that made for a somewhat-interesting read! A while ago I was trying to make an airride sequel in Unity to incorporate my ideas into, but I lost the motivation for it unfortunately.
Alas, you can finally get the 3d kirby that you desired
"Galacta Knight for the first time in ages" - we had him in return to dream land, robobot, and a new version in star allies called morpho knight. I don't think we're lacking
Morpho Knight is actually a beta Meta Knight design!
@@zachb4561 So, BETA Knight?
“It’s be great if HAL gives this game updates to keep this game fresh.”
*coughs in future DLC
Rainbow Curse is just Kirby flexing, he *could* use his arms and copy abilities, he just doesn't feel like it
"Man this is the Third time i have to save the Universe this month, this got stale im gonna challenge myself this time"
Me, a die hard Kirby fan, making sure you give all the best games the right amount of attention: Yeah, that's probably good
People never seem to recognize Akira Miyagawa's contribution to Kirby Air Ride's soundtrack. A significant number of tracks in that game are lifted directly from the Kirby anime's soundtrack, which he composed the music for.
Space Patrol EOS more like what if Kirby was Touhou

Kirby Air Ride was a game I used to play a lot on my gamecube. City Trial was my favourite thing, I had Dragoon and Hydra. When I couldn’t use Dragoon I’d use the blue bird one, flight is something I love in general. I was working to get all the achievements. If I find my disc and gamecube I might go back and play it again.
My mom sold my gamecube, n64, and my entire childhood collection of games about 7 years ago. I've since grown up, moved out, and bought another gamecube and many of my old favorites! Nothing like splitscreen air ride or some mario party!
My favorite kirby spin off game is probably Kirby clash deluxe and epic yarn
Epic yarn because I love the narration and 2 because the games aesthetics are amazing.
I've always been a fan of the arts and crafts type of games for that reason.
kirby mass attack was my first kirby game, i had it on the ds when i was only 5. i’ve been obsessed with kirby for 9 almost 10 years now and i’ve forgotten quite a bit about mass attack since i only had it when i was younger. it was super nice to see the gameplay again
Kirby's dream course deserves more love. It's great, I love it on a very unreasonable level, And it deserves a sequel. It needs one, actually.
Sweet video! As a diehard Kirby Mass Attack, Pinball Land, and Rainbow Curse fan, I love most of these spin-offs with all my heart. It's a great cycle to have, getting an experimental, creative game shortly after a traditional adventure, especially since it gives us opportunities to compare and contrast the directing styles of the developers. You picked a fitting time to upload this, too, since Epic Yarn turns 10 years old on October 17. Long live these wild experiences!
Sidenote: I'm the admin on Kirby Wiki who uploaded the Board Game images and color-corrected the Necrodeus image used in this video.
Strato-Patrol EOS is actually a deliberate send-up to one of HAL's Famicom titles called "Uchuu Keibitai SDF"
Man theres just so many spin off games. I love the creativity and experiments they did for them! Also wow this is your longest video yet, great job! I could tell a lot of work and research was put into this.
11:21 i LOVE how this game plays almost kind of like sonic riders but the new things that are added make the game stand out in it's own ways, i just love it so much!!
14:35 duUde that would be sooo amazing :DD
Mass Attack was my very first Kirby game. I remember getting it for my Birthday in 2011, and I would take it everywhere, even many of my drawings were based on the game and characters. I would even listen to the music player when my parents would drive me places! The place that I took the game to the most was an indoor waterpark hotel near where I lived. We usually went there for my birthday and we would stay over in the hotel. While in the hotel room, I'd play the game to death, at first it was hard for me, but I immediately learned how to play it. Every year from there, I'd continue to take the game with me whenever we would stay overnight at that waterpark. And my close friend was fascinated by the game and how well I can play it, I remember sitting on the hotel room bed listening to the music player with her. It took me about a few years later to figure out how to get to the final boss, I remember trying to beat it on a car ride to my mom's friends house. It took me several tries, but I finally beat the game! I actually cried cause of how happy and sad I was that the game ended.
Now, that waterpark hotel is gone and some new store took it's place, luckily, Mass Attack always brings back memories of that place whenever I hear the music from it. I still play Mass Attack to get these happy memories back, such a great game.
0:16 who else heard Mario screaming as he was freaking crushed by the kirb
Thank you CZcams recommendations, you’ve unlocked memories of me playing mass attack’s mini games, literally all of the games you covered during the mass attack mini game portion I absolutely remember playing. Nearly forgot about the timing based RPG game, nearly mixed up the super star ultra mini games with the pinball mini game, and absolutely adored that Kirby adventure style mini game that I’m sure I played while on the bus before and after school.
I was so surprised to hear epic yarn was a spin off game as I didn’t know that when I first got it years ago, but my list of to get games has grown again lol, canvas curse, mass attack (lost it when we moved out of gran’s house), and well… basically all the DS games and some 3DS games are now on my list of get this game or be a stupid head.
very nice video, i love how you explain every spin-off so accurate and don't miss anything.
Did you know, a big part of Kirby Air ride soundtarck come from the kirby anime ...but the japanese version.
When being translated to other countries, Kirby right back at ya received new soundtracks while some of the old music, like Checker Knight, got reused in air ride
The music in epic yarn slaps SO hard.
“First time in ages”
He was in Robobot and sort of star allies
I remember playing some of these, but I love Kirby mass attack, as a kid I always got sad when a Kirby died
The final chapter of fighters 2's story mode was a breeze for me because I found a cheesy strategy with magolor. Here it is. It's super complicated. -> + B into a wall repeatedly and you win. Your welcome.
this video is really good! it deserves more views.
it's kinda funny that hal was like "lets make an entirely new copy ability just for this spinoff game that is $20"
I really enjoy watching your videos especially the starfy one
Epic Yarn's one of my personal favorite game's of all time and I wish it got more recognition from people. It's a game that I can just relax playing and it has one of my favorite gaming soundtracks. Now that people like me are starting to fondly look back at the Wii era I hope Epic Yarn finally gets the attention that it deserves
KIRBYS EPIC YARN LETS GOOOOOOO!!!! Dude you brought back so many memories!
Note to Hal: Don’t give Kirby a voice, he is a straight up menace to society
I love this bro
epic yarn and mass attack are the most fun games I've everplayed
I love how he said he would love a 3D Kirby game and about a year later Forgotten Land was announced.
Airide is easily my most nostalgic game, It was the first game I've ever played and I always love revisiting it
"Id love to see 3d kirby with copy abil-"
Hal labs: hold my max tomato
The thing about gem apples is that it costs $20 total for a max tree, so basically the game is only $20 if you don't want to wait.
The other one is $40 for the full game, though has sales and was recently $27
Drawcia: I kid you not Paintra he turned I turned him into a ball. He calls himself ball Kirby.Funniest stuff I’ve ever seen
Thank you for shouting out Shogo Sakai and the incredible Kirby and the Rainbow Curse OST.
17:33 Sheesh, Drawcia's level looks like a Witch's Barrier from Madoka Magica, just plain unsettling.
I just remembered that I was playing one of the Kirby Fighter Games with a friend of mine. And I choose the Archer. Because why not? So my friend knew nothing about this ability right? So for the first 5 minutes I'm just messing with them and shooting randomly without aiming or anything like that. Until they got confident. Then I aimed and they go. "HE CAN AIM!?" And honestly that's still one of my favorite moments with them. And I don't think I'll ever forget that.
Mass Attack was the first Kirby game I played, if not the first game I ever played! It's really fun and I'm glad you like it!
Epic Yarn and Mass Attack were absolute delights
4:22
Susie : you remember me the gorgeous-
Kirby: listen doll face I dream land ain't buying what you sell so unless ya wanna a date with this hot pinky pie than get the heck out before your haltdead
Epic Yarn might be my favorite Kirby spinoff. Such a relaxing vibe with easy but engaging gameplay. I honestly think Yarn should become a copy ability.
41:16 Actually, if you look at the eShop, Fighters 2 says it has in-game purchase...yet there are none yet. So we are going to get some extra stuff!
Don't get too hyped. It could just be referring to the option on the menu that lets you purchase other Kirby games through the eshop.
@@C_Arson oh...u right dang 😐
Rainbow Curse was my very first Kirby game, and it was a ton of fun, even though young me had a really hard time with the final boss. Thank you Rainbow Curse for introducing me to the wonderful world of Kirby! ^^
In smash 3ds there is a mode called smash run that's baseliy inspired by city trial from air ride
With Tilt 'n Tumble, I have to play it on the Gameboy Advance SP. It doesn't seem to bad, until you realize the Gameboy Color and earlier Advance models have the cartridge slot on the opposite side the SP does, thus inverting all the controls.
ALL OF THEM.
Tilt n tumble is REALLY fun when played on a phone emu- I mean... Uh... Y'know... One of them rare phone gameboys. Highly recommend if you're fine with it.
A feeling that Subspace Emissary gave me that I've never been able to shake...
_Are we sure Super Smash Brothers isn't a Kirby spinoff in a trenchcoat?_
Ahem*
BRING RAINBOW CURSE TO THE SWITCH NINTENDO!
*"I feel like some apple pie!"* 🍎
Kirby's Canvas Curse was the first Kirby game I played! Epic Yarn was the first one I completed.
And dammit this video spoiled the final chase sequence...
Love how long your videos are Yet they are so interesting that they feel short
Oh my god the sub games for Mass Attack haunt me to this day, I love them so much ^^
Here at 5045. Damn, i cant believe they made Kirby Air Ride 2 on the Super Switch.
You had me at Kirby
Kirby rainbow curse was my childhood.I loved it!
I remember spending like 100 of the Walking Coins on DS to get all of the Keychains in the beanstalk one, will never regret it
Thanks!
41:26 I think that was my first exposure to Kirby
That and Melee
God seeing some of these spin offs makes me think of a a couple other newer titles that I played growing up. Almost like tests for Yoshi topsy turvy, Super Mario Pinball land. I would say Yoshit touch and go as well but I'm pretty sure it came before canvas curse
Can we all take a moment to appreciate his amazing editing skills??
Love your videos, just became a sub, Perhaps in your next Kirby video, there could be connection from the games to the anime, since the ANIME explains that Kirby, along with Metaknight are Star Warriors, being from another world, which could explain how those two are related to Galacta Knight :)
Fun fact: Andrew Hussie is like 41 freaking years old
fun fact: homestuck peaked around 2009-2012
somebody just aged like 70 years by seeing your comment
Mass Attack is super fun! I personally didn't ever manage to get into Canvas Curse, but maybe I'll have to replay it now :)
kirby fighters 2 in monger's opinion: and this, is to go even further beyond!
Blowout blast one of my favorite kirby games
Possible city trial maps: Normal City, Cappy Town, City level from planet robobot and Ripple Star/ Shiver Star.
Poggers new videoooo!!
Kirby Mass Attack I also haven't got past that stage without getting hit I have got past all the bosses except for the final one that one's just kind of a nightmare
Can you review the Klonoa series? I'd love to see a review of those games and send him some love
Seeing mass attack in this video made me feel so seen. My child heart is warm
I tried to get into Kirby a few months ago. Maybe I'll give it another try one day?
epic yarn is one of my favourite games ever. Since it first came out, and recently playing through the whole thing with my boyfriend
I always loved the Triple Deluxe Kirby FIghters sub-game and i will never like any upgrade of it more, nostalgia is god
Happy new year I split this video between 11pm the 31st and midnight new years
I was really scared you weren't gonna talk about the expanded subgames lmao
Tilt 'n' Tumble should've been in Dream Collection. The Wii was perfect for a port.
people are mean to battle royale, I had a ton of fun playing it with friends.
I primarily know Shogo Sakai from his fantastic Mother 3 soundtrack, and I had no idea he had done so much Kirby music!
I once watched a let's play of Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble where someone dropped the gamecube a few episodes in, it was pretty funny
Hey Moooongerrrrr~! There's gonna be a new 3D Kirby gaaaame~!
