Message: [QUOTE="dropsmegamega, post: 258451, member: 780"] SS expanded movesets weren't just "a couple new moves" but rather lite fighting game movesets that redefined the way you engage with the core mechanics. The simpler copy abilities in Adventure and DL2~3 are sort of situational and the pacing is completely different as you are forced to work with more limitations in these games. Also that kind of moveset was very rare in SNES platformers, most of then having one or two moves, so 20+ abilities with 4~8 moves each is no small feat. Add on top of that its very unique minigame structure and great co-op feature (maybe after wii era this doesn't seem like a big thing, but I can barely think of snes coop platfomers, let alone that allowed it seamlessly) and yes you have a very ambitious game. I really think you underestimate the amount of work and thought that went into this title. And yes Kirby 64 may not be as ambitious as those two, but again the ability to combine any of its copy abilities to make a new one is not just a gimmick, but a core mechanic (and one that goes in opposite direction of the fast paced SS, that sadly will probably never be revisited) and the use of klonoa inspired 2.5D, in which every stage is completely unique, still makes it a standout in the series.
