Bad Kirby games

If you’re deep into the Nintendo discourse sphere online, you might sometimes hear people say “Kirby has no bad games”. And to an extent, that’s definitely true – Kirby’s highs and lows aren’t as far apart compared to other Nintendo franchises. But is it really true that Kirby doesn’t have any bad games? A “bad game” could mean something different depending on who you talk to. It could mean that the game isn’t fun to play, or it could mean that the game is poor by Kirby standards, but not terrible objectively.

Even Kirby Star Allies, which is regarded as one of the weaker recent titles, isn’t bad – it’s inoffensive at worst. In other words, the Kirby games we’re talking about today aren’t main series games, but the smaller ones that tend to fly under the radar.
