Kirby Super Star (revisited)

All the talk I’ve heard about “Kirby Super Star” ignores how boring it is to play. Kirby is slow and his methods of attack are boring and his enemies are boring and the objectives are boring and the levels are boring and I’m struggling to think of anything that holds up today and I’m coming up empty. Lots of people have relayed this was fun to play with a friend back in the day, as though that should matter now (it doesn’t). I am begging video game discourse to wake up and take a solid look at what they’re celebrating.
