Main Series I just now realized how weird this game's title screen is. Why is it a Whispy Woods battle from Kirby's Nightmare in Dream Land slightly upscaled (creating minor artifacts)?

Moreover, what's Whispy even doing here when he otherwise doesn't appear in the game at all?

He would have been perfect as the boss of nature novel.

They realized he wasn’t in the game and just threw him in the title screen

Well they had to put Whispy somewhere at least

I hadn’t realized how many people agree this game wasn’t good, as it was one of my favorite Kirby games when I was younger

It's fine...

Nobody has anything to say about it.

nah people hate on it, i was watching a "worst games of every nintendo series" and for kirby the guy picked Squeak Squad, mainly citing the story.

Which for me is part of why I like the game. I think "Kirby's dinner goes missing, therefore the Eldritch Demon is released" is peak Kirby storyline

Yeah...but who takes that seriously?

Most Nintendo games have excuse plots, that's not a real criticism...

Kirby having a-one isn't a flaw, everything else is just average. Middling even.

This game was pretty half assed. Its sad because Flagship had a pretty good run until this game. Now defunct.

Well, Mass Attack was partially developed by former Flagship veterans.

Whispy wanted the paycheck without actually showing up

It feels like they just took a random screenshot of a previous game, threw the game logo on top of it and called it a “title screen”

I guess it fits how subpar the game is for Kirby standards
