Yeah Kirby can run, but he's slow...
Oh, for one more annoyance, you can't use the d-pad. Extremely annoying... the game would be just fine from analog. That's how I play GGA and, if I remember right, Mischief Makers... not allowing analog was a major mistake, IMO.
Kirby 64 also doesn't innovate at all. And as I said I kept comparing Kirby 64 and GGA and Kirby 64 was decidedly on the losing side one every issue... it's not bad, but it's not great. Too many problems and it just isn't fun enough to be called great, IMO.
That's really what it comes down to. How much fun are you having while you play the game? If you're having a lot of fun, you can ignore more issues than if you're not having as much fun. Like, if I thought about it I could probably come up with some complaints about Goemon's Great Adventure, but I was having a lot of fun playing it so they didn't bother me, and just thinking of them would take a while...
I liked Rocket, pretty good game...

Quote:Kirby 64 is a decent game. I only rented it once, and if I ever find it used for under $15, I'll buy it in a heartbeat or 3. Christ, it's still about $20-25 used. Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 64 are $20. What the hell's up with that?! Luckily I DID find Rocket: Robot on Wheels for about $6, which, may I add, is another great platformer (although it's 3D, so it isn't quite the same).
