While none of the challenges are very difficult, or last very long, Kirby’s Dream Buffet, similarly to other Nintendo properties such as Mario Party 8, has the party game formula on lock: it can be played by virtually anyone and it doesn’t overstay its welcome. The different racetracks, mini-game modes and arenas provide considerable variety for what is a fairly straightforward game. These abilities are conferred via food items other than strawberries which Kirby can consume during the course of each match. Successfully knocking someone off the edge allows you to steal their strawberries which in turn makes you bigger, stronger, and better able to bully them off again, the moment they respawn.Īdditionally, in true Kirby-game fashion, the stakes of each match are raised by “copy food abilities” which turn Kirby into a representation of a food item and give him various game-changing powers. Sometimes they may fall from the sky, while other times they may be locked up in destroyable boxes.īattle Royale takes all of the aggression introduced in the Race mode and dials it up to 11 as the only goal is to muscle opposing Kirby’s off the arena by bumping into them. Minigames all involve eating as many strawberries as possible within a confined space, with the challenge being getting to the strawberries. Races involve rolling Kirby to the finish line before your friends, but also require players to eat as many strawberries as they can on the way in order to better muscle their friends off the racetracks and ensure their own victory. Kirby’s Dream Buffet is divided into three primary game types with different gameplay loops. A fairly standard party game, Kirby’s Dream Buffet is cheery and bright, offering a variety of courses and minigames with the ultimate goal of consuming as many strawberies as possible to become the largest Kirby around. During this seemingly endless drought of good quality co-op games, Nintendo has once again produced a delectable crowd pleaser.
