Kirby
I love this game so much! It was my second kirby game ever, and I played it at a friends house. I have so many fun memories of distrusting "big eared gatorade dude" (Elfilin) and fawning over how cute the Waddle Dees were.
This was my first ever Kirby game, and after playing through the entirety at a friend's house, I got it for my birthday! I call Magalor "Avalor Kombucha" because back then I could not for the life of me remember his name. This game is an amazing 2D platformer that's actually sorta a 3D platformer, which is just super super awesome. The plot twist BLEW my mind! I would 100% recommend this game to anyone trying to discover the Kirby franchise.
