Kirby Super Star Ultra: The Perfect Remake 

May not be Halloween themed necessarily but I hope you all enjoy this one all the same! (This is legit the first time I've managed to get two videos out in a single month in over a year)

I'm convinced the ds was the most kid-friendly platform ever made. Being able to play games with your friends even if you didn't have the game yourself was a fantastic mechanic, even with its limits.

My first game was Super Star Ultra. Going through the full hexilogy of Spring Breeze all the way to Milky Way Wishes was amazing. Return of the King will always be one of my favorite parts of Ultra.

This game was a masterpiece. I remember playing the Download Play version with my friend since he didn't have a copy and we had to wait til the following Christmas when he got the game himself so we could play the entire game co-op. It was totally worth the wait though!

Ah yes Kirby, truly a more Halloween appropriate choice could not be made. Guy has probably fought more cosmic horrors than any other video game character.

It's such a shame how we don't get remakes like Kirby Super Star Ultra or Pokemon HeartGold SoulSilver anymore

Oh man, I remember watching the commercial for Superstar Ultra when I was very young and ended buying the game as my very first Kirby game and really got me into the series, man that takes me back…

Can I just say how much I love the revenge of meta Knight? Honestly with how much danger dream land has been in it seems only logical that someone actually capable of protecting it should take over right? While I don't justify blowing up parts of dream land just to test the haliberd like what they did I do think that meta Knight would be a much better leader than whatever is going on in dream land. Kirby kinda just mindlessly does whatever and even almost endangered the universe for a simple cheese cake in squeak squad and was tricked by marx. Also meta knight's crew going down with the ship shows their devotion and loyalty to him even in a dying situation. Probably my favorite part is the fight against meta knight himself because I get the impression that meta Knight is truly giving it his all opposed to him making sure Kirby is strong enough to fight the final boss like in all the other games and is actually really upset that he destroyed his plans. Of course Kirby though can't exactly understand what meta knights motives are either. In squeak squad meta knight actually pulls the halberd out of the secret sea too which further connects the series.

Hell yeah, Super Star Ultra was my first Kirby game too! I still remember listening to the main menu music to fall asleep at night. Probably one of the best video games/video game remakes I've ever played, so I'm really glad you talked about it.

It was also my first Kirby game! Mark scared the shit out of me when I was younger XD

Me: "It's over, Marx Soul. I dealt the final blow and victory is mine. Any last words?" Marx Soul: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* Me: "Understandable. Have a nice day."

The backgrounds in Ultra have a certain mystique to them. As a kid I wished so hard to play in whatever was going on in the background. Heck, I still kind of do! But the fact that they're unreachable make them all the more special

When you beat king dedede and that sad music started playing when he was walking with the waddle dees got my feels every time…

Possibly the best Kirby game

one of my favorite video games of all time, means a lot to me

Same dawg, Super Star Ultra was my very first Kirby Game, and ever since than I wanted to get into the Kirby series. I remember always wanting to play Milky Way Wishes' levels over and over again, because it was soooo cool being able to have all the copy abilities at your disposal! Wish they'd do that for future Kirby games with a similar kind of mode or something, but thats alright. Anyways good video bro!

the original Kirby Super Star is still to this day my favorite Kirby game, all the stories, all the lore it had, truly a masterpiece

I remember my first time playing this I never got meta knight revenge and milkway wishes because I thought I had need all 60 chests until a friend told not to lmao

This game gave me an intense emotional attachment to side helper waddle doo

If return to dreamland wasn't such a fucking masterpiece, this would DEFINITELY be my favorite Kirby game.

Anybody else have memories of discovering Kirby through the anime and this game?

i would REALLY enjoy more kirby videos, i loved this one a ton!!! this game truly showed off what kumazaki was capable of, he has such an insanely good understanding of the kirby characters and the kirby universe

KSSU was my first Kirby game and one of my first games in general! Even after all these years I’d still consider it one of my favorite games. I’m glad others remember it too!!

Man, I never knew how nostalgic I was for Kirby Superstar Ultra. Just mentioning those secrets that reward your exploration, or the fresh hell that was Great Cave Offensive was genuinely fun! I am very tempted to pick the game back up and have that experience it again. Great job and have a nice day!

Oh this brings me back. I remember coming home from school every day and excitedly picking up my DS to play this game. I was known in my friend group as a huge Kirby fan for a while, making my own comics and stories (before I even knew was fanfiction was haha). This one girl in my class couldn't beat the true arena and she lent me her copy asking if I could beat it for her. I had JUST beaten it on my copy and was so proud so naturally I was almost dreading doing it again, but I had to look cool so I spent several hours trying to beat it again. I still have this old Kirby plush I got for Christmas that year, sadly, the Meta Knight was lost when I moved.

Was legit playing this last night since it is my favorite game of all time

I love this game. I remember getting all the treasures in Great Cave Offencive, beating the True Arena for the first time, finding the secret of the cloud in Revenge of Meta Knight, replaying the last stage of Revenge of the King, Revenge of Meta Knight, or Meta Knightmare Ultra just to have another chance to fight those tough final bosses and listen to their boppin music, I even one hundred percented this game!

First Kirby game and will always be in my heart as a favorite for the nostalgia. Although I feel bad about it but I have yet to fully complete it, I need to finish the true arena before I finally the game once in a while

You haven’t experienced true hell until you’ve beaten Helper-to-Hero with every helper.

Super Star Ultra is how you remake a game right. New levels and game modes to play? ☑️ New bosses to fight? ☑️ More characters to play as? ☑️ Unlockables that actually feel like rewards you have to work for? ☑️ Not to mention, setting the standard for Kirby games going forward, like having a Soul form of the main final boss in an exclusive boss-rush mode, and also bringing back the advanced movesets of each Copy Ability that were dumbed down previously in Amazing Mirror/Squeak Squad. This will forever be my favorite of the Kirby series. Still play it to this day.

I remember when I was really little and I would always watch my older brother play video games like this one, and I remember when he actually let me play this game. This was definitely one of my first “real” video games that wasn’t some Disney Princess game on the Wii or Mario kart and I remember being in love with this game to the point where after I finally got my own dsi I’d constantly annoy my brother to let me “borrow” the game (until I just took it one day lol). I have so many memories with this game and I actually opened it again recently for the first time in YEARS and nostalgia flooded me when that opening screen came. Kirby super star ultra was a great game and I never got bored of it, I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t played it.

Can I just say how BRILLIANTLY kirby handles boss rushes? So many boss rushes in other games I feel either become inconsequential for the majority of it or way too long to be fun on subsequent tries. Kirby handles this fantastically, especially in this game. The bosses are never too long, there's an interlude full of heath items, so your not always screwed after a tough fight, but you still need to perform well so you don't run out. And the true arena only takes the harder variants of bosses, so it's potentially shorter, but way harder. I'd say 3d kirby games handle this a bit worse because bosses are longer, and especially in PR virtually fighting every single boss in both arenas. But even then, they handle it well.

Rpg Monger over here continuing to deliver the quality love and attention that Kirby still deserves so much more of. Props to you man 👏👏

This game was my entire childhood and my introduction to the Kirby Series. I remember making up personalities and backstories for each helper in my mind.

This game was my introduction to the air by series, and I gotta say it’s still one of the best in the series by far.

Although Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was my first Kirby game, Super Star Ultra was the one that made me love this pink puff ball and play the rest of the series until the 3DS ones...this game is magic. Now that i see Super Star Ultra again i remember your "Attempting to Explain All of Kirby Lore in a Single Video" video that made me subscribe to your channel in 2019. Didn't knew about the whole reimagining of the OG Dream Land with Spring Breeze my first time...still liked it, Dynablade was a nice change of pace. I thought that The Great Cave Offensive was the worst Kirby stage in Smash history, jokes aside i loved that mode except for the old tower at least on my first playthrough. 8:27 THAT STUPID PART man i just suck at it...funnily enough i got 100% without guides and loved the references and now more with my knowledge with the series. Gourmet Race is great but because i'm a forever alone never got to play with someone. Revenge of Metaknight...the magnum opus of the original game, love the little details that i found by pure accident and the Metaknight fight is great extra points if the helper does something more than just screwing around. Milky Way Wishes was a good time except for Hotbeat that planet can go to literal hell. The extra modes are amazing the extra content in general is good. Man remember Revenge of the King was a fun time, and i had a good time playing this and the ending is great, also Masked Dedede's theme is great and that theme isn't original even coming from Super Star Stacker (or however is called in Japan i forgot). Metaknightmare Ultra...the magnum opus from this remake EASILY the best part oh and Galacta's theme just AMAZING, only issue he's easy with Meta Knight at least in the finale he's a challenge. The extra games are good time wasters and i'm ready for war if anybody tries to. Helper to Hero is pure hell if you wanna get the extra for clearing it WITH ALL OF THEM...and i did it...never doing it again. The hardest true arena let's be real is Robobot with Return to Dream Land with friends if you aren't on sync and Marx's soul sucks...that stupid scream. Man this game is a great and a masterpiece. Sorry for the long comment but this game is magic and my last playthrough against a friend on a vs on December 2020 was a blast and had a good time but really hated the old tower and Hotbeat. Great video man and i hate you for that screamer XD

9:51 And one of those themes is one of the most iconic and memetic Kirby songs alongside the likes of the BGMs for Green Greens, Butter Bridge, Sand Canyon, Sky High and Masked Dedede. I have listened to "Kirby Falcon Punch Remix/Kirby's Falcon Punch" _way more times_ than that remix (and the Melee and Brawl variations) is even really worth.

12:53 TRM: "except for the ones on the fire planet, those can got to hell" Me: "that is exactly where they already are"

I remember when this man was at 2.12k it’s been a second proud of you 👍🏻

i will never be over the marx betrayal and fight in milky way wishes… literally one of the best parts of any kirby game… MUSIC included

Ultra was my first kirby game ever. It didn't inroduce me into the series, as i was aware of it from things like smash and youtube, but it was my first gameplay experience. my cousin has a copy of it, and let me play it most of the time,but would never let me borrow it. so a few years later, when my family started going to a local blockbuster before they were shut down, i rented a copy there and played it night and day. I guess my dad had noticed i was sad having to return it, so they day after, when i got home from school, i found the same copy of ultra i had rented. my dad bought it, and im so glad he did.

I find it amazing how I've had this game for over 10 years and still have a blast playing it. One of my favorite games of all time.

Canvas Curse was my first Kirby game, but Super Star Ultra was easily one of my top favourites. It did everything the original did, but better with subtle improvements and even more content - it arguably most notably set the stage for future main series entries to always include the Arena and True Arena modes, with a Soul version of the Final Boss at the end of the latter. I know Canvas Curse technically did the Soul thing first, but still. Oh, and it also gave us Galacta Knight, a badass recurring secret boss that was usually the main challenge for Meta Knight whenever he was the star of the respective game's Extra Mode. I only hope that if the source code is still included, they could at least make a console port for it. But I doubt that.

the fact that there is a hidden video clip to unlock if you are to finishing every pick in the “Helper to hero” 2player mode took me like a month or more ages ago I still remember lots of fun I had in this title To me this is far more better than every other kirby games, excepting the great mirror maze

I need another Kirby game like Super Star Ultra!!! Having different sized stories makes the experience diverse and digestible at a very good pace. It honestly feels so satisfying unlocking and going through every story. So much content in just one game. I wish we had that before.

Nothing is more satisfying than getting the timing perfectly for the megaton punch mini game for maximum output.

The new Kirby game looks awesome. Ever since Air Ride on the GameCube, I've been excited for a potential full 3D instalment.

I really like the castle in great cave offensive. Really scratched that exploration itch without hindering those who don’t wanna explore since the next area is one cart ride away

Revenge of meta knight and milky way wishes is why this is favorite Kirby game of all time

SSU is a great Kirby game. I have a ton of memories of staying up late on school nights hiding under my blanket to just play a little bit more before finally falling asleep.

this was one of my favorite games growing up, and still my favorite Kirby game

Seeing that wind room full of sleep bubbles brought up repressed memories… good times

I was never really into Kirby but I got this game as a gift years ago and I never knew I could enjoy a Kirby game so much

Two Fun Facts about Super Star/Super Star Ultra: - The Stage Select/Corkboard Theme is just the Super Mario Bros. Invincibility Star theme but slowed down and in a lower key. - Meta Knight's Battle Theme is just Ridley's theme from Metroid but speed up and in a lower key

First time I reached Gourmet Race, I had no idea how to sprint, and thought it was impossible. It’s one of those moments where the answer is obvious and you’re oblivious to it.

This was the first game I ever played and completed. I love this game. I love the music. I love the spritework. Super Star Ultra has some of my favourite unique features of Kirby games, and is the reason I love gaming and the franchise itself.

The part at 8:53 stumped me for so long until I realized that Ninja Kick is immune to the wind.

I'm old: I remember getting the original at Christmas 1995 and loving it. It was so good.

Kirby Super Star Ultra was my first Kirby game I ever played. It certainly not making me any younger knowing that it came out in 2008. I actually went back to play it for the Kirby game marathon since July and the old copy I own still worked. I was shock to still find some things in tge game to discover, albeit small. In both Super Star and in Ultra, you can see Marx Soul (or at least a more frightening version of Marx) shortly before sprouting his wings(?) seen in Milky Way Wishes cutscene seen here: 21:05 The second thing I discovered if you beat Helper to Hero with all characters, which was no easy task (looks at Birdon), then you reward with cutscenes from the original Super Star game. It wasn't part of the 100% completion, so I missed it completely in my childhood. It also makes me glad to still be surprised by Kirby games in general. I'm happy to have Super Star Ultra as part of my childhood growing up.

Oh, yeah. I remember this game. It was one of my childhood games that I played on the DS.

I played this game so much over the yeare. Was always comforting and fun to play and replay

Kirby Super Star Ultra is my favourite Kirby game, and I considered it like a true 'mainline' game (though being a remake) similar to Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Most of the game's track have been remixed (and even new characters like Galacta Knight) in subsequent games especially in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby Triple Deluxe and this game itself added more featues that most were not seen in the original game (such as the new boss theme for Heavy Lobster and Dyna Blade), like The True Arena or even the Blooper Reel cutscene. This game's soundtrack has also one of the series largest soundtracks as well and I really enjoy it

Well, ALMOST perfect. If the audio had better quality for the music, then it would be perfect…but this is still damn good. They remade my favorite Kirby game really well

It's always a good day when i see someone make a video about my favorite game of all time.

First Kirby game I ever played it was so fun and will always be one of my favs

Kirby super star ultra was my first ever video game. It’s so nostalgic for me :’)

I really enjoyed this video. This past year I decided to sell all of my console collection and become exclusively a handheld collector. I love that most of your videos are handheld focus (this video being no exception) The DS was such an important console and being able to go back and explore its vast library is very important to me. Seeing your love for this game and how great it is, was really enjoyable to watch. I look forward to more videos like this in the future ^^

My first video game and I’ve loved Kirby ever since, watching this video gave me a lot of nostalgia!! Thank you amazing video

the "except this part" bit at 8:55 still trips me up to this day. Such a hard treasure to get.

This was one of my favorite versions of Kirby and one of the first I have ever played. I'm glad it had more than one way to play.

Cave Offensive is the prequel to Subspace Emissary

I am very honored to say that this will always be my very first and favorite Kirby game. Even though it was a remake of the original SNES game I had so much fun playing it! I'll always remember buying the last copy of the game from Radio Shack I was so excited that I'd finally gotten my hand on a Kirby game! I really loved the Helper gimmick that I'd often just inhaled enemies so Kirby could have his own traveling companion lol! There were times that I'd often get frustrated going through certain levels but I often took time to admire the stage build. Gazing at the background of the Crystal Area in Great Cave Offensive always had me in awe, oh the cutscenes THE CUTSCENES! The cutscenes were executed perfectly! I'll always remember the heart wrenching guilt I felt after defeating Dedede in Revenge of The King, the triumphant fanfare of Kirby obtaining the Star Bike, and the dread of Marx getting revived by Nova's discarded parts. However the most notorious thing I'll always remember is the true final battle with Marx in the True Arena, Marx's insanity truly shined in that battle he no longer had sense of himself, I was already familiar with the previous battle but regardless he gave me HELL! Honestly I was relieved to deplete his HP all the way with one final shot but, that scream, that blood curdling scream blasting through my DS speakers had me traumatized! You could say that was my first ever disturbing gaming moment. In the end there is one thing I really enjoy from the game and that is the credits from Milky Way Wishes and Meta Knightmare Ultra. The credits theme always gave me a sense of comfort and relief, it was like I was going back home to my own planet, I'm passing by the other planets reminiscing the journey I had, it almost had me in tears, and before it could end Kirby flies up towards the screen with his Warp Star waving goodbye almost like he was saying "I couldn't have done it without you!" When the "And More" appeared I knew that was this the end but it wasn't the actual end, there was going to be more quests for Kirby to endure and a lot more enemies he needed to face, meaning that the journey truly wasn't over. So, in conclusion, this game was the perfect introduction to the Kirby franchise for me, and I will say it once more, it'll always be my favorite.

You are THE channel I come to for Kirby related content. Never stop showing the pink guy love.

I love your content man, so underrated! Thank you for giving us such an awesome video to watch

This game was absolutely amazing as a kid, it was the peek of Kirby.

For some reason when I was younger I thought Marx Soul was scary and didn't wanna beat The True Arena because of it Nowadays I don't fear him anymore, but yeah.

long live the super tuff pink puff. Super Star Ultra has always been and will always be one of my favorite kirby games.

i remember playing this on my cousin's ds when i was little and it stuck in my head ever since

Man this brings me back to elementary school… me and my best friend at the time would always play this game, We’d draw the characters, even sing or even play the songs on the instruments. (Obviously galacta knight and masked dedede were our favourite subjects for both) so many fond memories…. And yes the second track in gourmet race is definitely underrated. Also, im proud to say my record time is 4:45 for helper to hero and 3:31 for the true arena :)

Definitely would love to see you cover the new Kirby game when it releases, great work👍

I looooove 2000s era Kirby games. They all have consistent, modern 2D graphics. Nightmare in Dreamland, Amazing Mirror, and this game all look the same and I mean that in a good way because they all feel in the same universe

Thank you for making this video! This video motivated me to revisit my old save file and finally beat Arena in single player mode. I also am now working towards completing all helper to hero challenges. This game is such a great remake and I'm glad you really featured what made it special. Great video!

20:00 "In this situation nobody wins" I lost it when the image of the deafening guy pops up

One minor nitpick I have with the remake is the backgrounds. While they have absolutely gorgeous art, previously animated ones are now static.

When I was a kid, my best friend would come over often and we would play Superstar on the SNES again and again…

Interestingly enough, this came out on last year's Halloween. Also I should note, that last year was the 10 year anniversary of Kirby's return to Dreamland (Which came out on October 24th which was a week from last year's Halloween) and this year is Kirby's 30th anniversary.

THANK YOU for popping up in my recommended and reeling this gem of a game from the back of my brain

Kirby Squeak Squad is one of the very first games I've ever gotten in a real life store when I was a little child. I remember really, REALLY wanting it, the very sight of a Kirby game just made me so happy.

Kirby Super Star Ultra on the DS was the Kirby Air ride to those who played this hidden gem. Super Star Ultra holds a special place to both me and my lil sister back then. Watching your vid brings back memories of the DS era!!

While Squeak Squad was my introduction to the series, it was Super Star Ultra that made me fall in love completely with the Kirby franchise. I have *endless* memories playing that game all the way from 3rd to 5th grade.

Interestingly, Kirby Super Star Ultra was my very first game I have ever played that got me introduced to Kirby.

This game was my childhood. So many memories. Thank you for making this such a good video.

KSSU was the 2nd Kirby game I ever played as a kid (Epic Yarn was the first), and it is my favorite game in the Kirby series right next to Dreamland 3 and The Forgotten Land. I started playing this for the first time as an adult in my free time and am currently trying to do what kid-me would have never been able to accomplish. I am trying to beat Helper to Hero with all 20 helpers (Chilly, Plasma Wisp, and Waddle Doo are my three faves so far), and beat The True Arena without using the hammer or stone abilities.

I was obsessed with Super Star as a kid in the 90s and I’m so glad 2000s kids also got to play it.

This was my first kirby game, heck I still have it today. Probably the best game to start on if I'm being honest.

This was my first Kirby game and when the new Kirby game came out I wanted to play my first one so I looked for my ds and the file select music was so nostalgic for me

5:43 this was my source of dopamine

I remember The Revenge of Meta Knight unlocking for me when I opened up the game one day. And mind you, I didn’t complete the Great Cave Offensive.

the masked dedede theme is actually remix of king dedede's theme from the Japanese exclusive kirby super star stacker

Oddly this is the one game I never really clicked with, I love nearly every Kirby game, including Super Star, but weirdly Ultra just felt kinda strange, like it’s probably just me but I feel it didn’t age as gracefully, mostly just because the system it was on.
