It goes without saying that Kirby is a beloved character and a huge part of Nintendo history - which is precisely why he's featured twice in this console - but he's not up there with the really seminal games of the SNES.

That said, Super Star was a huge success when it was first released (selling more than a million copies in Japan), and it is one of the best games in the franchise. It's also a visual and aural delight (the music is so good it's taken on a life of its own outside of the game). It's just not very difficult.

Still, the multiplayer element is a good thing to have access to and it's a lovely way to spend a good few colourful hours.
