The action here is fast and frantic stuff that barrels you down some good-looking courses and we haven't noticed any slowdown or frame rate issues. You can also take part in an up to four-player local play mode, although that requires separate Switch consoles and copies of the game to jump into.Īs far as our experiences with split-screen and online have gone, we've been pretty impressed with how smooth things run with two players.

In terms of modes, you've got Gourmet Grand Prix, Single Races, Single Minigames, Single Battle Royale, and a free-rolling practice arena to play around with and all of these can be enjoyed in single player against three bots, two-player split-screen with one other pal sharing your Switch's Joy-Cons, in four-player online ranked mode with three random opponents, or with friends in a password match. The whole thing looks and sounds fantastic too, with colourful visuals, detailed courses, and the usual triumphant orchestral Kirby music to accompany the roly-poly action. It's easy to understand, a breeze to get to grips with, and really comes alive when you jump online or play with a real-life friend in split-screen. Kirby's Dream Buffet is super fun and frantic stuff. Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) With 135 Gourmet Rank levels in total to work through, it's gonna take some serious strawberry munching to see through to the end. You've got costumes, Kirby colours, character treats used to decorate a cake in the game's hub area, and new music tracks for races to gather up here as you raise your Gourmet Rank with XP. Knock a rival off-screen here and you'll cause them to lose a bunch of strawberries whilst you get a nice big fruity bonus.Īt the end of a round, everyone is slapped onto a set of scales, bonus strawberries are awarded for feats such as longest time spent hovering during a match, and the winner is revealed amidst much confetti and the distribution of the game's cute collectible and unlockable items.
Once you're done here it's on to another race and then a final Battle Royale where you're given one more chance to come out on top of the strawberry-gobbling leaderboard by nabbing as many as you can whilst blasting your opponents out of the small arena with your copy abilities. Things kick off with a race down one of several different tracks, gobbling up strawberries as you go, then you'll take part in a minigame that charges you with barrelling around a small arena attempting to eat more strawberries than everyone else whilst avoiding various obstacles such as great big exploding cake bombs. There are currently eight of these in total, allowing you to slam your rivals with a stone attack, ingest a hot pepper to go blazing off on a fiery turbo boost that incinerates anyone in your path, initiate an ice-cream tornado, turn into a speeding doughnut wheel, and even drill under the surface of cakey courses to avoid all incoming obstacles.īut that's not all! In order to spice things up a little more, the game's main mode, Gourmet Grand Prix, sees the action sliced into four delicious stages. To make things even tastier, as you careen down courses you'll bust open Mario Kart-style item boxes containing copy abilities. Yes, bigger Kirbys roll faster but, on the flipside, a smaller Kirby can hover for longer, making it easier to get back on track when you are inevitably blasted off it by a rival.
#KIRBY STAR ALLIES REVIEW MIX FULL#
Kirby's Dream Buffet is a bright and breezy party game that sees a whole field full of Kirby characters roll at speed down sweet treat-laden tracks where the only objective is to get to the bottom first and lay claim to the largest mountain of strawberries when you get there.Īs you roll down courses composed of waffles, ice cream, eggs, bacon, burgers, buns, and lots of other stuff we'd really like to be eating right now, you'll gobble up strawberries as you go, each one slightly increasing Kirby's girth, making you roll faster towards your final objective. What do you get when you take a generous helping of Fall Guys, add a pinch of Super Monkey Ball and then mix in a lovely big dollop of Kirby? Well, a great big dream buffet, that's what.
