So, I recently played Kirby's Star Stacker on NSO, and...
Well, I now understand why this version never released in North America (I want to send the screenshot soooooooo badly!) 😂
Ah, yes! Sorry about having media asks turned off! After some of the horror stories I've heard, I just didn't consider it worth the risk.
But yes!

I love this image so much! Actually, I love so much about the adorable little cutscenes in Star Stacker! Meta Knight without his mask (...and gloves! You can see his little orb hands!) doing his darndest to still look like a cool tough warrior as he stands on the tallest possible hill (not that tall) and says "We shall meet again!!"
...Meta Knight... Oh Meta Knight... /positive
Now, then I assume there were probably many factors involved in Star Stacker not coming over to the west. It was released quite late into the SNES's lifespan for one, a year before the console was discontinued in NA. And it was a "remake" of a game that may not even have sold all that well the first time...
I hate to say it (especially as someone who values story and characters in video games) but an added "story mode" was almost certainly not considered a "selling point" to make it worth anyone's investment. Unfortunately, video games were still sold on their edginess to the teenage boy market in those days and a pastel-themed block matching game isn't getting any backing...
Grr...
Sorry. Just remembering how many good games my generation missed out on for stupid reasons. Games that I consider the best the system had to offer: Live a Live... Secret Treasure of the Rudras... Trials of Mana... Tales of Phantasia...
Ahem...
BUT the fact that Kirby and friends canonically go drinking at a bar if you lose probably didn't win it any points on its localizability and would have almost certainly caught the eyes of the VERY fierce, VERY determined censors of those days!
Of course, the funny thing about this is the bottle Kine is drinking from actually reads "Ocean Water" and is NOT alcohol! NoA wouldn't even have had to censor it, just translate it and you're clear!
...Although I'm sure if they had, rumors would have persisted for years that in "the original" Kine was actually drinking booze!
Maybe it wouldn't have mattered though, because Coo certainly looks ready to hit the hard liquor lined up on that shelf. ^_-
Actually, looking closely at the image, all the triangle motifs, I wonder if this is some kind of Dedede-themed Bar & Karaoke establishment? Seems they didn't bother rebuilding it after Kirby's infamously destructive singing voice wrecked the place!
...Man, there is something so utterly charming about the SNES era of Kirby! Star Stacker plays right into DL3's watercolor pencil artstyle and I love it and miss it, on occasion.
Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but I hope that our next Kirby game is not a big expansive mainline title but another "full-bodied" spinoff. Not a contentless fluff spinoff, like Dream Buffet or the 15 minute mini-games of the 3DS entries but something a little more comfy and fun, like Epic Yarn or Rainbow Curse! Something where you can have a bunch of characters reunite to do something silly and ridiculous like play competitive puzzle-matching or bubble-wrap popping (...or Air-Riding...) and pretend like it is serious business(tm)!

Ugh,my mind is telling me to write my idea down for a Kirby au fanfic but I think it’s extremely embarrassing and dumb to share with the internet even though the voices inside my mind are winning (the fanfic involves Kirby Super Star Stacker and Dark Nebula,that’s all I’m saying)

more less known Kirby characters for the star guardian AU!
more info about their roles under the cut :)
Gryll is just an occasional helper to the main gang (aka Kirby, Escargoon, Dedede, Bandee, Dark Matter Swordsman, Tiff and Tuff), since she actually came to Popstar to research the Star Rod, but not take it. So she just built a hut and watches them and their adventures and help when things get a bit too tough :)
the Meta-Knights were originally meant to be anti heroes who were admirers of Meta Knight trying to track him down, but I rethought some of their lore and I figured that they should be Star Warriors instead. Redesigned Axe Knight to be more of a shy boi and Javelin Knight is now a guy that got turned into a robot and he can morph into his form from the games to fly. The Meta-Knights went to Popstar themselves and constantly look throughout the planet to find Meta.
Time for da fluff boy >:) I got this idea from @cosmicwhoreo so PLEASE check them out their art style is so pretty and they are very big brain
Dedede has to go to an intergalactic meeting because ✨king stuff✨ and brings Kirby with him as a plus one to make things more fun, and they meet the other rulers of their planets like Queen Ripple, Claycia (and before you ask yes she’s a ruler in this AU cuz KATRC isn’t mentioned enough), and of course, Prince Fluff. He and Kirby don’t like each other at first due to contrasting personalities, but when they have to team up to save everyone from the Followers of Nightmare, who attack them, they get along well.
(And Fluff may or may not have a teeny tiny crush on him after that-)
