S2E11: Kirby Super Star and Kirby's Dream Land 3 -or- Kirb'etizers
Manage episode 439346766 series 3537209
Derick McDuff of the Underrated movie podcast returns and brings Kurosh Jozavi of the The KJP Show to talk Kirby Super Star (SNES, 1996) and Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (SNES, 1997) with Mike and Jaymo, continuing their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
In this episode we’ll check out all the Kirby Super Star game modes, debate the drawbacks of Kirby’s animal companions in Dream Land 3, try to see through how the SNES pseudo hi-res mode allowed it to easily display transparencies, and reveal a rare cameo appearance from the voice of Masahiro Sakurai himself! Kurosh, Derick, and Mike also go head-to-head-to-head to see who can snag the most G from a vault of obscure references in The Great Cave Offensive.
