I have been playing this game and it is kinda... bad. The controls

Didn't it come out after Super Star? There's no excuse for them fucking up the controls and making the powers underwhelming like that.

Dream Land 3 is the ultimate pleb filter Kirby game, and top comfy.

There are 2 styles of Kirby game, actually. The easiest way to tell them apart is by speed, or the "engine" they use. What I mean by "engine" is a little abstract, but it's mainly about how the powers act + how the physics feel.
Traditional: Dreamland 1, 2, 3, and 64
Technical: Superstar, SqSq, AM, RtDL and all others that utilize that "engine."
Adventure is kind of like a fork in the road here, combining features of the two.
The Traditional ones are pretty slow, easygoing games. Your powers do 1 thing, and 1 thing only (think Fire vs Fireball, Ice vs Blizzard, any of the 64 combos).
The technical ones all have increased mobility and incorporate a bit more of a robust physics engine (sliding off a ledge and holding a direction makes you start running a little faster than your top speed normally, you have a more gradual deceleration in air than the traditional games, etc.) and your powers act more like "movesets" (The powers of Fire and Fireball are in the same Fire power, same with Ice for Ice and Blizzard, etc).
Fun fact, the Technical engine also inspired the game sensibilities of the Smash series.
It sounds like you don't enjoy the traditional games, which is a shame because they are really great games to just relax to. Also, that crayon art style was really difficult to achieve on the SNES. It was a great system closer.

Just call them Sakurai and Shimomura games. Kumazaki doesn't have an identity.

This. It probably has the best atmosphere in the series. It's something you take a deep breath and relax to.

>>388309564
Very true although Shimomura isn't widely known. Point is, Shimomura's titles are much slower paced while Sakurai's are faster. Kumazaki is pretty much a Sakurai copycat for now, but he makes pretty fun stuff so I can't complain. That said, his gimmick seems to be necro-ing one or many previous bosses while neither Sakurai nor Shimomura did that so I guess that could be sort of his calling card for now?
I'd still like some slower Kirby games to come out, though: they were great ways to unwind and enjoy what was in front of you. Also I want KAR2 already. That shit is LATE.

>And how would I know what I have to do to get the heart stars without a guide?

Honestly, this shit right here is pretty bullshit at times. I can remember needing to get a broom power up in an earlier room of a stage to clean these flowers in a later part of the stage, and if you stepped on the flowers at all you had to restart the stage.

Shit was just fucking dumb, and getting those stars was a pain.

I won't lie, dreamland 3 is slow paced and the mini games are obnoxious, but I can't let you diss the visuals and soundtrack.

Definitely one of the comfiest platformers ever made.

>>388312341
Ths OST and visuals are the only reasons the game isn't universally ignored.

>>388306717
I got all the heart stars but one without a guide and I played it for the first time very recently.

The only one I couldn't figure out was the one you have to touch with Chuchu's no-power attack

>>388312507
I think you're wrong. The puzzles and the like are actually pretty neat. Every level has a unique mini-quest, although they tend to match trends, like each world's lv 1 revolves around flowers, lv 2 uses a certain power to appeal to or help an NPC, each lv 3 is about a minigame, each lv 4 is about finding an item somewhere, and each lv 5 is about choosing the right partner. At least, if my memory's right.

I actually got this game as a kid, because I didn't have an N64 yet(this came out in 1997, a year after the N64 did), here's my take on it as someone who's grown up with it.

Initially, I was disappointed in the game because I was expecting something like Kirby Super Star, which was(and still is) one of my favorites for the SNES. The game overall moves pretty slow, the abilities have little to no variety, some of the level design is poor and redundant, especially towards the end of the game, and some of the heart pieces you collect are just fucked up to collect, especially when you're 10.

But, over the years, I've grown to appreciate the game for it's atmosphere, art style, and simple game play, with loads of levels and decent challenge, and I used the game itself to get my young niece into older games. It's not the best, but I still like to pop it in on occasion, and I still say it's one of the best looking games for the system.

Or maybe I like the game for it's positives and choose not to dwell on it's negatives. What a fucking concept, amirite?
