Kirby's Fun Pak
An old SNES game, featuring a pink person called Kirby as the main character. A very unique game, it excited me when it first came out because it hosted a big bunch of games within a game; eight, not including the secret bonus one. That's a lot of games!
Thing is, to the adult/modern eye, I guess they're rather short and lack any kind of story.
However, the wondering eye sees wonder in every game, fun, excitement, many special abilities.
Very strange, very melifluously ethereal music here.
There are two games which are really very small minigames. One challenges your finger to press a button at appropriate times, the other is a convenient reactions-builder. If you wish to improve your ability to react to events happening in anything, including real life, play Samurai Kirby, where the button must be pressed upon the signal! A timer is provided! So, Kirby's Fun Pak gives you the added optional feature of allowing you to have better reactions by practicing this game. Very useful!
Hand-eye-co-ordination in the other little mini-game, as well! Practice that! Press the button when the meter/pendulum/two-discs hit the best part! Yeah! Another bonus!
However, it might be viewed that the rest of the games harbour far too small a difficulty! Lives don't mean much, since it's the old thing with losing them all not forcing you to lose the game instantly. You just start the level again, saved data in tact. Well, if you don't know much about platform games, a bonus! Learn how to play! Yes!
There's even a chance to improve your ability to duel with a sword.
Kirby's Fun Pak is colourful, enchanting, and very interesting if the things I've said sound fun, intriguing, wonderful, or at least nice. However, everyone's cup of tea is on the table over there.
Angle 1: To swallow things and jump around the place! I cannot be stopped! How boring!
Angle 2: I say! How colourful! How playful! Such nice music! I want to stroll around as Kirby!
Angle 3: I can improve my reactions and hand-eye co-ordination! Hurrah!
Angle 4: A tough game! I want to practice and get better! Yeah!
Angle 5: So many games! A fantastic experience, even though they all have the same/similar play mechanics and sprites, etc.
So, there you have it. A special Christmas review.
