I dont know all of them, but for example the earlier ones like Kirbys dream land 2; were they supposed to be ridiculously easy games? Like I do enjoy them just as a chill game to play. But im wondering what their purpose was. I maybe do recall reading they were made for younger kids. I just have always thought of Kirby as WAY overpowered and as such the games almost become blah.

I think I played one of the newer ones on switch and while it was really cool how you could become a car, I think the gameplay was still a little hand holdy.

Kirby games were never too hard to play. I grew up with the first games, Kirby's Dream Land on Game Boy, Kirby's Adventure on NES and Kirby's Dream Land 2 on Game Boy. In the first game he didn't even have his characteristic skill to eat enemy and transform to absorb their skills.

To me the Kirby games always were a mood thing, its super super fun for the music, the art style and to see these cute enemies and worlds. Just exploring and trying out to see what comes next. And since he learned skills from enemies, it got 1000x more interesting with all the abilities.
