Kirby 64 is one of those N64 gems that still holds up—bright, bouncy, and packed with that classic Kirby charm. You’re still sucking up enemies for powers, but this time you can combine them to make wild new abilities. Like, mix a bomb with a spark and suddenly you’ve got a firework attack? Yeah, it’s as fun as it sounds.

The levels are these little diorama-like worlds—some float in space, others are candy-colored dreamscapes—and they’re just the right mix of easygoing and inventive. I remember getting stuck on a few puzzles as a kid, but in a good way, where you actually feel clever when you figure it out.

It’s not the hardest Kirby game, but that’s kind of the point. You’re here to float around, experiment with powers, and soak up the vibes. Still one of my favorites for lazy Sunday afternoons.
