Yo I dunno who keeps adding more Achievements to Games that has had Achievements for like years now on Retro Achievements but its getting really annoying... Oh well time for round two with this Game I suppose in all honestly tho the new ones don't look to bad and looks like they are gonna be fun to go for
Bryan1150 19 Aug 2021 00:47
Mastered! The revision makes this set very fun and different from Kirby"s Adventure, thanks for the great work GalacticSpear!! :D
Dws18 20 Aug 2021 19:47
Re-Mastered! Phew those new ones weren't all that bad but man screw that Shooting Stars like a King Achievement tho that one was super stressful and took me over and hour or two to earn x.x Thanks for the extra fun Achievements tho GalacticSpear! These new ones were a ton of fun to get and the set needed some more Achieveos like this ^w^
AmanankaTotoso 5 Sep 2021 14:07
Re-Mastered! The set is way more fun now, even tho there are some achievements that are VERY annoying. Overall, the set is much better now. GG
bdjeffyp 7 Sep 2021 01:11
Holy cow, that was a lot of fun! I like the variety of challenges and the, thankfully, not-too-ridiculous minigame achievements. Mastered!!

Finalmente...meu primeiro jogo completo!
OceanManow 27 Oct 2022 18:39
Platinado família, eu ja detestava a ability ball agora eu odeio mais, fora isso foi um set muito daora de jogar, tmj.
Golbi2654 5 Dec 2022 18:33
European version must get support too.
GalacticSpear 6 Dec 2022 23:58
The European version memory is completely different compared to the USA version, which is the reason why it isn't supported
Golbi2654 8 Dec 2022 16:27
I am aware that many European versions have different storage (possibly due to added languages). Do you mean Memory as in RAM or Storage? How can cartridges have their own RAM?
GalacticSpear 8 Dec 2022 18:34
Memory in RAM, the memory of the European version is in different locations compared to the American one, that's why it's very rare to see multiple hashes linked to games from the 32-bit generation and up
Golbi2654 8 Dec 2022 23:19
Do you mean that there's RAM in a cartridge or in the GBA itself? I thought the GBA system is region free.
MrLTheGreatest 20 Dec 2022 22:24
Mastered. This was easily the most fun and the best Kirby game set for me. Other sets have horrific no damage and arena achievements. This one has actually fun boss challenges AND not too precise speed achievements. Finally you don't have to do frame perfect speedrunner moves to get an achievement...
Out of all 70 cheevos, I had problems with only two. GalacticSpear and Rewsifer did an amazing job to make such a good set.
Mountainhaas 18 Jan 2023 20:03
Mastered! Absolutely love this game, and a great set to go along with it!
ZillaRex 26 Jan 2023 02:36
Mastered! There's a noticeable difficulty curve after the main game, but it was absolutely doable with a bit of patience.


Hi-Jump my beloved...
Zaqueu 18 Feb 2023 15:19
Wow... Mastered! This is the first game i mastered (using retroachievements) and what i like in Kirby is that it's easy, (except some achievements) No frustration, no rage, just fun and short.
