Holy smokes, I'm dazzled.
And what a SMART scoring system! No complex multipliers. It's simply "how many stars can you get?" Not animals. Not chains. Not combos.
Stars.
Of course, combos cause stars to drop in increasing rates based on the length of the combo.
I'm hooked.
They tried to do the Yoshi's Island crayon art, but it doesn't work here at all. Everything has this weird smeared look about it
Maybe the worst looking Nintendo-published game ever made? I mean good lord, look at it. Did someone rub Vaseline all over my monitor while I was out?
The object is that you have to sandwich star blocks between matching animals. If you create a combo doing this, the game drops extra star blocks onto the playfield. If those result in a sandwich, the combo continues.
It's a very simple but pretty neat formula
Graphics are awful

+ It's Puyo Puyo! It's fine! Probably the best-looking 16bit version of Puyo Puyo, a high-tension puzzler
- It's Puyo Puyo! It's problematic! Knock-outs can be too fast

+ Fun, original concept that's never been replicated. Level (puzzle?) design is incredibly thoughtful. Never gets boring.
- I wish you could switch angles.
Kirby's Dream Course has LEGS. This is a concept that indie developers might want to tinker with and refine. I know that quirky golf is a thing right now, but that's the thing about Dream Course: the quirk actually takes a back seat to elegant, precision gameplay.
I've never had a hole-in-one on the 8th hole of the first course. This 9 matches my best score ever.
I'll take it.
I just really love Kirby's Dream Course. I think this is a concept with legs. Imagine what, with today's horsepower and graphics, you could do with this now. Wow.
It is said that the Kim family of North Korea, when they go golfing, averaged five aces every time he went golfing and consistently shot 34 under par.
To that I say............
I played the first course too much and not enough of the 2nd course. Or the rest of the courses.
One thing I'm curious about, and I'll need my older fans to tell me this: did you notice Special Tee Shot on the back of SNES packaging, and if you did, did you realize this was it?
I probably won't return to Special Tee Shot and I wasn't going to review or rank it. It was a treat type of thing. I planned to play all day.
When you're unjustly put on bad-faith blast, it messes you up physically. I still haven't recovered. Digital or not, it's assault.
