Kirby 64 - The Crystal Shards (USA) ROM

The first (and only) Kirby game for the N64, Crystal Shards delivers with excellent gameplay, a good soundtrack, and the very cool ability to combine copy powers to create new ones.

Once again the universe is in danger and once again it's up to a pink little puffball to save everyone. This Kirby title is just as bright and cheery as his other adventures, except that unlike most of his adventures, this one is portrayed in full 3D graphics. With plenty of challenging levels, unique gameplay, and a constant barrage of cuteness, this title is definately worth anyone's attention, no matter what their level of maturity may be.

In my opinion, this is the best Kirby game ever. It has a unique system where you can combine any ability with another one to creat a new, more powerful ability.
Ranging from exploding throwing stars to becoming a refrigerator, the game encourages experimentation. You won't hold on to an ability for very long at all.

The graphics in this game may be a little childish, but it looks so clear and sharp that you just have to love them. The gameplay itself is simply AMAZING with the 7 combineable copy abilities.

Kirby is in a new game and this time around he's helping his new friend piece together the crystal shards and save her home town. This game is packed with fun elemental levels. You'll travel through pop star, a desert level, a water level, a mountain level, and others. In this game, you'll be able to mix two different abilities with each other. I found this part of the game to be very fun as I found a couple of mixed abilities that I liked the most. The fun doesn't stop there as this game also has 3 multiplayer mini games, a sound test, boss battles and a replay theatre. This is one of my favorite and unique Kirby games out there and I recommend you should try it out.
