First game: Fight greedy guy Final Game: Fight God, the originator of all. Kirby is also an incarnation of this God. Also the cycle reignites and everything starts again.

I had a nightmare, and now I'm listening to this. I'm 22 years old.

Kirby 64 still has one of the best OST's I've heard, it's up there with some other great ones. Would love for Nintendo to remake a lot of the early Kirby games so that the music could be remastered and redone as a lot of the early Kirby songs are still used today, they're all so good

My brother was really into Nintendo, and played the old games through emulators. He introduced me to Kirby. The first game I played was Kirby Super Star. Though, Kirby's Dreamland 3 was my favorite because of the style and soundtrack of the game. My brother is currently in a group home that helps with his autism, and he is still in love with Nintendo to this very day. I'm so glad he got me into Kirby, and I really wanna see him again soon :)

The cutscene music just brings me to tears sometimes. It's so well orchestrated and the characters bring so much appeal. This was such an amazing game.

When I first played Kirby's Adventure, I was blown away by how good the game looked. Not just for being an NES game, just in general.

Out of every single kirby boss, haltmann has truly made me the saddest, the simple tought of a man who lost her daughter and tried everything to bring her back, lost his memories in the procces, then killed by his own daughter

You can hear the classical and jazz influences coming through all over the place here, but with saccharine 90s rompler flutes and sparkly synths and PCM samples. And it works. This soundtrack doesn't get its due credit, it's one of the greatest of all time as far as I'm concerned. You can really tell the composers had a lot of fun making it.

this is the first time i've actually listened through the whole entire soundtrack without skipping any songs, they all sound so good in this quality, it was an immense pleasure to listen to!! however, i was really looking forward to hearing the club remixes in this quality... i know they're not in the game, but do you think you would ever remaster those too? <:)c anyways thank you so much for this, they all sound lovely n you did a great job in remastering my fav childhood game's OST <3

I never realized growing up, how fantastic the music in this game was. Until now the main song that caught my attention was Korekara Star. Such a beautifully crafted soundtrack. One example of just brilliant composition that I absolutely love, is in Quiet Forest. That transition where the tempo drops then picks back up into the best part of the song. The relentless intensity of Horobita Star, radiating with energy like much of the music in this game.

We can all agree Kirby 64 has by far one of the best OSTs in the Kirby saga. And this remaster? DAMN if it has quality, it's so good!

The original Kirby's Dream Land will always hold a very uniquely special place in my heart for being the very first game I ever beat on my own, start to finish. I was four years old. It wasn't the first video game I ever played, however - that honour goes to Mega Man 2. But all the same, I have always been a big Kirby fan.

You know songs from the newer Kirby games are fire. But there's just something with Kirby music from Planet Robobot and going to the older generations of Kirby music that got hits that just straight up get me dancing happily to the tunes. Miss that music style a bit in the newest game lol. And especially Kirby 64 gets me dancing since it just has that 90's vibe that is unforgettable

I'd just really like to thank you for putting up from that it's a compilation video. Got burned a few times whe peoe haven't and 15 minutes in it starts sounding like something I've heard before, I look at the uploaded and notice 2 years ago I watched the first video in it and a week ago I watched the last and it's gonna get more familiar as I go or I'm tricked into thinking it's a grand overview after a series of individual reviews. I.have wasted some time on deceptive compilations a bit lately

Quiet Forest will always remind me of my 10 year old self going thru the pages of the first Harry Potter book back in 2000, its like a nostalgia ultra combo.

hearing factory inspection in HD gave me chills down my spine shiver star has always gave me a vibe of sadness its never explained what happened to earth for it to enter this state but the fact its called shiver star implies Kirby and the gang didnt know about earth to begin with

I was reading about this game recently - how it got negative reviews for being too easy and short. But I revisited it and my goodness - this soundtrack alone makes it at least a 7/10 - add in the quirky and vibrant environments, fun gameplay, minigames, the boss rush challenge... I think it's at least a 9/10 game. Not sure why it's not so well received. But I certainly remember playing this at age 8 or 9 in the early 2000s and just the music created this perfect atmosphere, it's all so memorable. Fantastic game and music.

This is hands down one of the best OSTs ever published by Nintendo. I don't know why Hall didn't try to build off of this style with their subsequent releases + the best version of gourmet's race.

Just played this for the first time on switch online this week. Music is so amazing especially 30:37. Wish I had memories of this game growing up like you all did.
