Derek and I discussed this on last week’s podcast. Without completing the game, I’d say it’s the third best Kirby game ever. Right on the heels of Kirby’s Adventure, but not quite as innovative as Canvas Curse.

Still, the interplay between graphics and gameplay is smile-inducing, more than enough to give it the bronze medal. Compared to other games in the franchise, how would you rank Epic Yarn?
