This was my very first Kirby game I got as a kid for my N64. I got this in about 2001 not knowing anything about Kirby or the Kirby franchise and it was a great purchase. I got it in a old second hand game shop that's sadly not around anymore along with The legend of Zelda ocarina of time, the first paper Mario game and Mario 64. I never got to complete it though as life and time got in the way, but I still have it sitting on my shelf to this day. I'd honestly play Kirby the crystal shards over a lot of other games being made today as not many games still have the old school charm this game has.
