A Quick Talk About Kirby's Dream Course

Kirby's Dream Course was a Super Nintendo game and it was a spin-off of the other Kirby games. It was one of the only Kirby games I never played as a kid. I remember always seeing it at the video store but never rented it. It wasn't until recent years that I played it for the first time. I was watching an episode of The Game Grumps where they were playing it and I thought it looked like a fun game. I saw that you can play it in the SNES collection on the Nintendo Switch if you have an online membership. 

Recently I had some friends visit from out of town and I showed them the game because I thought it would be fun to play with friends. We really enjoyed it and must have played it for hours.

It was first released in Japan on September 21, 1994. It was then released in North America the following year on February 1, 1995.


The game is similar to golf and its 1 or 2 players. You want to try to shoot Kirby into the hole with as few strokes as possible. There are 12 courses with 8 holes each.


You have to hit each enemy before you can get him in the hole. You can collect stars from enemies and also gain a copy ability from the enemy that you hit. The copy abilities can be really helpful.

Enemies
-Broom Hatter
-Chilly
-Flamer
-Gaspar
-Gordo
-Kabu
-Kracko
-Mr. P. Umpkin
-Parasol Waddle Dee
-Parasol Waddle Doo
-Rocky
-Sparky
-Squishy
-Starman
-Togezo
-Transformer
-Twister
-UFO
-Waddle Dee
-Waddle Doo
-Wheelie
-Whispy Woods


Copy Abilities
-Burning
-Freeze
-High Jump
-Needle
-Parasol
-Spark
-Stone
-Tornado
-UFO
-Wheel

When aiming Kirby you have a power meter to control your distance and you can pop him up in the air or put some spin on him. You want to try to avoid traps and pits or over shooting because you can fall off of the side. In some areas there are bumpers you can bounce off of.

You have an energy gauge that has 4 tomatoes on it for each stroke you take. You can lose tomatoes by taking damage also. If you lose all your tomatoes, you lose a life. You can gain more tomatoes by hitting enemies or getting Kirby into the hole.

It's a great game to play if you want to take a break from something or need a distraction and play a quick couple of holes. If you own a Nintendo Switch it's fun to play on the go or on long road trips. I highly recommend it.

Deadpool & Wolverine Quick Review (No Spoilers)

Image
Deadpool & Wolverine is an incredibly fun movie full of thrills and hilarious moments. It made a record breaking $211 million on opening weekend at the box office and still continued to break records throughout the following weeks. This movie is full of cameos, easter eggs, and references to the comic's that fans will love to see. It also pays homage to some of the older Marvel movies. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman knocked it out of the park. It's almost like they were born to play these characters and it's great to finally see them team up. Everyone's costume looks awesome on screen and pretty accurate to the comics. I loved this movie and it is now one of my favorite movies to come out in the last decade. I'll definitely be watching it multiple times when it comes out on digital and blu ray. I can put it in a list of some of my top favorite comic book/super hero movies. If you're a fan of the characters Deadpool and Wolverine, I believe you wi...

Alien: Romulus Quick Review (No Spoilers)

Image
Alien: Romulus became a hit at the box office and as of now it has made over $200 million globally and will mostly likely continue to keep doing well. It is a great movie to see in the theater. I had heard really good thing's about it before seeing it but I still went into the movie without setting my expectations too high. I loved it and think it is the best Alien movie to come out since Aliens. The movie has so many tense and unexpected moments that will keep you in suspense. Also several claustrophobic moments. It has that dark and creepy atmosphere to it. I was taken by surprise in a lot of scenes in this movie. They were able to try many new thing's and threw in some easter eggs and throwback references that I think fans of the franchise will love. It had a young cast which at first I thought may be an issue for an Alien movie but I think they were pretty good. I really enjoyed Cailee Spaeny's performance as the protagonist Rain. If you are an Alien fan I b...

My Thoughts On The Mortal Kombat 2021 Movie

Image
I've been a huge long-time fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise since I was just a little kid and the original was released in arcades back in 1992. That being said, I really didn't mind the Mortal Kombat 2021 movie even though it has been criticized by many. Sure there are some thing's in it that I didn't like. For example I didn't like how quickly Goro was taken out by the new character Cole Young or how I thought some character's didn't get enough screen time. I didn't let that ruin the whole movie for me though. Some people think that it was nothing like the games but in my opinion I think that if it was exactly like the games then we would already know what to expect and it wouldn't be very interesting because we've already seen it in the games. I try to look at it as a different take on the Mortal Kombat story. Something new that we haven't seen. In the recent game there are different timelines with different outcomes. You can...
