Thanks, that's a good point.

I guess World Beyond is the first Kirby game where the premise itself is a mystery, so maybe there'll do something new with the "mystery" concept in that game.

Actually, re. the adventurous feeling - I think Kirby 64 was quite good at increasing the strength of the atmosphere as the game progressed.

But still I think with any Kirby game, there's a feeling of there being something more going on, that never really gets elaborated on fully satisfactorily.

Ones I haven't played yet (ignoring remakes/non-platformers): KDL2 (play it very occasionally, don't like it that much), Super Star (part way through), KDL3, Amazing Mirror, Canvas Curse, Rainbow Curse, Star Allies (+ New Challenge Stages, Magolor Epilogue, Star-Crossed World)

I'm not sure it really followed through with that feeling though, or if any Kirby game I've played really follows through with that feeling. Except of course, through having great final bosses. Anyway, I still enjoy Kirby games a lot.

I'm more thinking of, should I make/use a map, should I use the Parallel Launcher star tracker, general approach to play it. The game itself is meant to be the drug :P
