You would be surprised how an enemy so ridiculously more powerful than you are suddenly causes you to side up with unlikely partners... Sheesh, you are fighting what appears to be an angel! It's launching exloding STARS at you! It is warping space and time and launching weird spores at you probably made of dark energy, and it's got a power level of like 90821321321412 or something if you are one of those DB nuts. To be honest I'm surprised King Dedede even tried going against Kirby. I mean, Kirby punched the planet in half! He frickin' owns! Link did what, toss a gigantic stone pillar like a javelin a few times? Big deal when you have a guy punching planets in half! Then there's Mario, who is killing enemies with water, WATER! How strong could those enemies be if they can't stand WATER? Sure, made of paint maybe, but if they were strong enough it should take high pressure water to kill them. Oh, and that water pump is NOT high pressure if it only shoots like 3 meters ahead of Mario! I thought Mario was stronger than that, you know picking up gigantic 30 ton bombs and hurling them around, and spinning giant turtle lizards by the tail, and breaking bricks with his head. Mewtwo is about the only power match I see being realistic for Kirby, I mean the guy held all the oceans of the world in place with his mind alone and didn't even seem to be using effort to do it, and then WHILE doing that, he managed to bat off every enemy who came calling like they were nothing. I wonder how well Mew would have done if Mewtwo wasn't holding back the water... If only marginally better, then Mewtwo must be so much more powerful than what it takes to hold back trillions of tons of matter that it's like you don't even want to think of creating him because he might just make himself real and kick our arses into the 47th dimension or something. Oh, then there's Ganondorf, he's got the strength of TWO men, but more importantly he has as much power as he can wish for when he holds all three pieces of the triforce. How did the Master Sword get forged to resist that anyway? Eh, I suspect they are probably all super powerful and just holding it back to keep from blowing up whatever solar system they reside in.
D-pad is the best way to control something like Kirby, but yes I do agree they should have allowed the option to use the analog stick.
I'll say this OB1, have you played Super Star? That's my personal fave Kirby game. That game pulled it all together. Great level design, great abilities, and all sorts of great Kirby action in a decently long game with moderate difficulty. Kirby 64 was a fun game, but I didn't enjoy it as much as Super Star. I mean, yes the combo system was very nicely done, and one of my favorite parts of K64, but in the end that wasn't enough to push K64 above Super Star.
What were they thinking when they removing miniboss moves? They were thinking it'd be a bit of extra work programming in the desings for those moves, and of course they might have to just make those moves uncombinable, which would mean an exception case for when Kirby has those uncombinable abilities. It would have been extra work. Of course, I can't defend them for that. I'm just saying that's what they were thinking.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
