(Note to viewers:I edited My review and those stupid question marks came up everywhere please ignore them)

Kirby Set's off on another adventure in Dream Land! In this Kirby game Kirby is up against numerous foe's both old school classics(redesigned or updated graphics of course) as well as some new foes.The main plot is a unknown villain that basically manipulates Meta Knight and creates even a shadow copy of Meta Knight tricks Meta Knight into a?skirmish with the?shadow?Meta Knight ?in order to lure him into a magic mirror, naturally as this mysterious new foe lures Meta Knight into a battle with the?Shadow?copy Meta Knight Kirby catches wind of the Skirmish ?and lashes after Meta Knight and his copy to try and figure out what is happening. Anyways Kirby upon following Meta knight get's split into four and?follows?the two battling Meta Knights to this strange?Mirror. As you get closer to see the end of the battle, Meta Knight has knocked Dark Meta Knight into the magic mirror and?has broken this mirror into numerous pieces so that way the Shadow Meta Knight can never escape from it, but Kirby doesn't know that Meta knight has broken the mirror to stop an even bigger and badder villain from getting out into dream land to spread evil. So in response to Meta knights actions Kirby is collecting the pieces of the mirror to make it whole again, because he thinks Meta knight has broken for some unjust reason.(granted not the best plot and the?writers?could have explained it better and made it easier to comprehend the story, this is just my?interpretation) .

Graphics:The animations and level/stages layouts are very complex and go into alot of detail with colorization and design. The games detail in Kirby facial expressions(such as blinking eyes and cheeks go red to simulate blushing) as well as his enemy's facial expressions and ?motor functions in the game are excellent.There is alot of?empathizes on background detail in the game, what I mean by this is?literally in the background even the most un-noticeable?of objects??are in full animation and have a motor function.

Sound:There are a a large variety of??different sound tracks for each stage and, ?at certain way points within the stage the sound track always shifts or changes. Also there is a nice feature in the game were as?you play throughout the game you will find music notes, which are?collectible? items and each note you find can be played in the collections room on the main title menu. So if your a fan of the soundtrack or like a certain stages sound search that stage for treasure chests, some chests contain these notes and that stages sound track is on the notes.

Addictiveness: Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is highly addictive because of it's mini games and as well as it's main game play. You can collect spray cans and music notes/soundtracks throughout the game. The spray cans change the color of main Kirby and the sound tracks allows you to play different songs heard in game.Also in this game there are other?collectible?items such as the five hearts and the maps.(To be honest I don't know what the hearts do). On the title menu there are 4 mini games one of which is a secret mini game called Boss Area or Boss Battle, but you unlock it when you beat the game to 100% complete(so collect all the?collectibles?it's the only way!). The other Mini games are wave runner,speed eater, and this kung fu?Kirby?power where you test your?strength?by cracking a rock down to the earth's surface.So all things considered Kirby and the Amazing Mirror is a power house addictiveness wise.?

Story: The story in the game is kind of hard to follow from the?beginning, the?writers?didn't do such a hot job explaining the story to were it's easily followed or makes sense but here is the?jest of the story to what I could comprehend.?In Kirby & the Amazing?Mirror,? Kirby has just awoken from a good nights sleep, when all of sudden he see's Meta knight racing to get some where rather hasty, so naturally Kirby thinks Meta knight is up to no good so he purse's him. Meta knight after he realizes Kirby is hot on his trail pursuing him he turns around with his sword and cuts Kirby in to four ?different Kirby's(red Kirby,yellow Kirby and green Kirby).Now with his 3 other Kirby self's, the Kirby's all chase after Meta knight. Later on it is revealed a?villain has created a??shadow?copy of Meta Knight and tricks Meta Knight into a?skirmish with the?shadow?Meta Knight ?in order to lure him into a magic?mirror, naturally as this mysterious new foe lures Meta Knight into a battle with the?Shadow?copy Meta Knight, Kirby or the Kirby's catches wind of the Skirmish ?and lashes after Meta Knight and his copy to try and figure out what is?happening. Anyways Kirby upon following??Meta knight as you get closer to see the end of the battle, Meta Knight has knocked Dark Meta Knight into the magic mirror and?has broken this mirror into numerous pieces so that way the?Shadow?Meta Knight can never escape from it,?but Kirby doesn't know that Meta knight has broken the mirror to stop an even bigger and badder?villain from getting out into dream land to spread evil. So in?response to Meta knights actions Kirby ?is collecting the pieces of the?mirror to make it whole again, because he thinks Meta knight has broken?for some unjust reason.(To be honest I pieced together that conclusion from what little bit of the plot that seemed most?plausible, play the game your self and I challenge you to see if you can piece together the plot ^-^)?

Depth: Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is huge, and it takes a long time to reach 100% complete, because to get 100% you must find all the spray paint cans, all the music notes and soundtracks and maps(basically you must collect all the?collectibles). The mini games are very fun and also can add to your prolonged hours of game play because you have the opinion to play either main game or the wave riding and eating , and smashing mini games and a secret mini game you unlock after you get 100% called boss battle!

Difficulty: Kirby & the Amazing Mirror could have been harder to beat.?Kirby's enemy's gives you ample opportunities to ?find there weakness and injure them. The game does have a large range of sub bosses for each stage so that added to the difficulty some.In addition what also added to the difficulty of the game is that on most stages there are ?numerous paths and sometimes when you take the wrong path you could end it in a stage you weren't trying to be in so the map is a little confusing and you could get lost easily. But?ultimately?what really tips the scale in your favor is the fact that you can call the other three Kirby's and they will basically beat the Boss for you.

Overall: Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is a fun creative and entertaining Kirby game that will hold your interest and attention. Between the 4 mini games(yes there is not just 3 like you have the option of playing at first but when you get 100% complete a secret mini game unlocks and it's called boss battle), the huge collection room where you can change Kirby colors(by collecting spray paints that you find in main game and also you can listen to all the soundtracks heard in the game by collecting all the notes scattered out on different stages in the game, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror has not just the entertainment of the main game play but also has entertaining things to do after you beat the main game.?

Hope you enjoy'ed the Review!?Kirby?& The Amazing Mirror really is a great game and I actually own a physical copy of it, if you come across it (for sale) I'd recommended adding it to your personal ?of your physically owned games.(especially if your a Kirby fan, trust me you won't be disappointed!) ?
