With a modest $15 price tag, though, Dream Buffet is still easy to recommend.Are you hungry for a smorgasbord of fun? Even the most dedicated foodie need look no further than the Kirby’s Dream Buffet themed MAXIMUS CUP, which arrives soon to the Tetris 99 game for the Nintendo Switch family of systems. Like the confections Kirby races on, then, Dream Buffet is a sugary treat – an airy party game that's fun at gatherings, but ultimately light on substance. Beyond that, however, there are no other game modes, so your enjoyment will largely depend on how often you have someone around to play the game with. (Mine is currently rocking a nice hamburger). The game does offer the option to play races and mini-games individually or against bots, and the items you unlock as you play and level up can be used to customize a cake in the hub area and outfit your Kirby with different headwear. Unfortunately, there's little else to do in Dream Buffet, particularly for solo players.

With four friends (the game supports both online and local multiplayer), Gourmet Grand Prix is a riotous time. However, all that heft also comes with a drawback, as you'll struggle to float back up to safety if you do fall off.Īs you play Kirby's Dream Buffet, you'll level up and unlock various rewards, including adorable headwear for Kirby.

Your supersized Kirby will be much harder to bump off platforms, letting you literally throw your weight around. Not only does this affect your standing in the rankings (the heaviest Kirby at the end wins), it also gives you a bigger advantage over the other players. The more strawberries you eat during the Grand Prix, the larger your Kirby will grow. This turns every race into a frantic fight for survival. Use your Copy Ability to bump another player and you can send them sailing off the course, costing them some strawberries and, more preciously, time. These powers can also be wielded offensively. Tornado, for instance, creates a vortex that draws in nearby strawberries, while Jelly lets you slip past walls. As in Mario Kart, these are stored in item boxes strewn liberally around the stage, and they bestow Kirby with a different food-themed Copy Ability once collected. Adding another layer to races are the different power-ups you can acquire.
