Worst Kirby Games

The Top Ten
1 Kirby: Squeak Squad

Squeak Squad is easily the weakest mainline Kirby game. The devs played it too safe, ns we ended up getting an unoriginal game that had barely fleshed out mechanics. The story is one of the franchise' series worst, and the game also feels rather lazy. Many assets, songs, and sprites are reused from the past two games, so it feels dull. I can understand why this game was played so safe, though. It was the first mainline Kirby game released after Sakurai left the series, so I can understand why it felt so safe.

Really dumb idea for a game... Kirby conquers a galaxy just for a slice of cake! I don't know why they chose mice as enemies/bosses/villains when they could've scrapped this game to make something really special, like about the Galaxy Soldier Army from Hoshi No Kaabii, and maybe even T-rated and released in the 2010's.

What THE HECK THIS GAME IS BEAST. WHY IS IT 2ND WORST KIRBY GAME. THE ONLY REASON I VOTED FOR IT SO I COULD SHARE MY OPINION. THIS GAME IS AWESOME.. ): WHY IS IT SO LOW

2 Kirby's Block Ball
3 Kirby Tilt N' Tumble

Motion controls before they were a thing

4 Kirby's Avalanche

It's the same thing as PuyoPuyo or Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine. Puyo Puyo is a fun game itself but why on earth would Kirby need his own version of it?

This was not needed at all

Kirby is so annoying

Kirby is kind of a dick in this game

5 Kirby's Toy Box
6 Kirby Slide

Just a sliding puzzle minigame to promote the Anime! As a free ad, I'll forgive them, though that could be inspiration for a bigger minigame with several Kirby puzzles for a future upcoming Kirby game.

Tee-hee! Funny! Like Dora the Explorer

Look it up. Its on e-reader.

The anime!,! *triggered*

7 Kirby's Pinball Land

WORST KIRBY GAME EVER! Along with Air Ride. You just keep losing as you play it, and should've never been sold as a main game. It did become a minigame in Mass Attack, which even that was better and had some great graphics compared to this overpriced thingy.

8 Kirby's Blowout Blast
9 Kirby's Dream Course
10 Kirby's Return to Dream Land

I definitely understand if you like this game. But I feel despite it’s Super Abilities, the game is nothing less than a typical Kirby game with nothing special. Is it a bad Kirby game? No. Is it mediocre? Perhaps.

Why did you put this on the list? This is one of the best. Obviously you don't know what fun is.

This is (in my opinion) the best kirby game of all time.

Why is this so high on the list?! It’s the best game in the entire series!

The Contenders
11 Kirby Star Allies

I do not like this game a lot. It is way too short and it's quite generic. The only thing I liked was the fact that they brought back partners like in Super Star. And at least there are good updates.

My Favorite Video Game But I Know No One Really Liked It (But I Found It Perfect In Every Way

>kirby star allies in the list of worst kirby games

The new update made this game harder I like it

12 Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Why does this game have 4 levels on each of the only 7 worlds? Anyone can beat this game in a day or 2! The storyline is poor, the bosses are too poor, there's too many Drawcia ripoffs already! (You get what I mean? ) And don't get me started on the ANIMATION. My god..

Okay, true. We know the animation was supposed to look that way... but it's ANNOYING in my opinion.

Why is this on the list? It's A GOOD GAME!

Really not that good

13 Kirby Super Star Stacker

At least it had better controls than Air Ride... it should have a sequel, but more geared towards 12+ aged players and be like Halberd battle combined with puyos, released for the PS4.

Even for a puzzle game it just felt way too easy.

One of the only Kirby games that are not great... IKR, Garthesnail!

14 Kirby Super Star Ultra

The best Kirby game made in the 2000's. And Dedede and Whispy Woods (two of the worst characters in the franchise) only appeared in about one or two main subgames and mini games. Milky Way wishes was the best along with Revenge of Meta Knight, and the 3D cutscenes were fantastic.

This game is one of the best kirby games. Who doesn't want to battle the masked king?

What? This is my favorite Kirby game! This game introduced things such as arenas and new ways to play the game(Milkyway wishes)

Mediocre and boring

15 Kirby Super Star

The sprites were painfully lazy, and the only reason why I played was for the Great Cave Offensive, but then I collected every treasure. So then I just played dreamland 3 and put this one back in the box...

Too hard and unfair. Enemies appear out of nowhere, and next thing you know, you're dead.

16 Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

People tend to say that the less linear a game is the better it is. I mean recently, the most appreciated games are often open world games like Skyrim and Zelda Breath of the Wild. Personally, while those games are far from bad, non linear doesn't mean better, and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, while not the worst non-linear game ever, or even a bad game in general, is a textbook example of how making a game less linear can be bad. The game is ultra confusing to navigate, and many of the level's paths are completely useless. And overall it is a big mess. The worst mainline Kirby game, but you still can have fun with it.

Played it for a bit and still don't get it. The colors are painfully bright, game is too fast paced, too cartoonish and it takes forever to reach the actual plot.

Too confusing. In Metroid you get to progress with new powers. Here, if you choose a wrong power, too bad. You lose a power? Too bad.

17 Kirby Air Ride

I don't get why everyone loves this crappy game.. I HATE AIR RIDE. Bad graphics, flimsy controls, a ripoff of classic racing games that are actually fun and good... If Hal makes a sequel to Air Ride it will only send the company and its Kirby series much more downhill.

Nah, this is one of the best and its extremely fun. Wish they made a sequel

Why isn't this game on the top of the list for Worst Kirby Games?

18 Kirby's Epic Yarn

This isn't the worst kirby game, it would be somewhere between high tier and mid tier

An easy, boring game. Music is also really cringe-worthy at times.

19 Kirby Triple Deluxe

This game is bland, boring, and the music is terrible.

This game is great why is this low

20 Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe
21 Kirby: Canvas Curse
22 Kirby Battle Royale

This game is trash. The only real stinker for Kirby.

I think its cool.

23 Kirby's Dream Land 3

Game felt too floaty (even for a Kirby game) and was a serious step back from the excellent Super Star. Going back to single use style abilities was a terrible idea.

24 Kirby Mass Attack

The best Kirby game by far
