Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards — About this game
Kirby travels from star to star, defeating enemies and gathering crystal shards. Inhaling and swallowing certain foes grants their powers, and combining two abilities produces different attacks. Some crystals require a particular power, so returning to a cleared stage with another combination is part of exploration. Floating helps cross gaps, but cannot replace careful timing everywhere.
