Amazing Mirror is obviously the worst GBA spritesheet Kirby game sorry, metroidvanias are just a crappy genre in general so despite it having some really fun abilities its just never going to be very good. Its eternally mogged by its older brother Nightmare in Dreamland and little brother Squeak Squad.
A few summers ago I set out to beat all of the mainline Kirby games bcz they were easy and it'd be a fun job, I did most of them too but I couldn't be assed to beat Dreamland 2, Dreamland 3, or Kirby 64 (Dreamland 4). That's because they suck and play unbelievably slow and have lamesauce gimmicks. Its very obvious which games grow off of Dreamland and which ones grow off of Adventure because it feels night and day, all of the GBA spritesheet games are Adventure games and that's why they're very fun (even Amazing Mirror), they have snappy gameplay with fun, yet non-intrusive gimmicks. Sadly Adventure-spawned games are all but dead in the Kirby franchise because after they made Mass Attack, then came Return to Dreamland which as the title implies is a slow, gimmicky Dreamland-spawned game and the games which came after like Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot all have the same formula, Triple Deluxe isn't as slow as the rest of the post Return to Dreamland Kirby games however so its a bit of an outlier.Amazing Mirror is obviously the worst GBA spritesheet Kirby game sorry, metroidvanias are just a crappy genre in general so despite it having some really fun abilities its just never going to be very good.
