I played Kirby 64 too soon after Goemon's Great Adventure. The greatness of that game left me let down when I played the decidedly inferior Kirby 64, especially considering my expectations of the game... Kirby couldn't fly forever, the crystals thing was just annoying with so many of them, you had no friends to ride on (yes, you did have a huge number of combinable powers, which was great, but I really liked the friends...), his speed seemed to be even slower than before -- he was never a fast character, but on a GB it wasn't as noticable --, etc... It's not a bad game, but it's not as good as I was hoping or as good as the best N64 platformers.
The best part of Kirby 64 is, probably, the Hundred Yard Hop. Well, if you have a friend who likes to play it in multiplay sometimes... that minigame is more fun than it should be in multiplayer. :)
