Review: Bomb/Stone

Ability : Bomb/Stone

Title : Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Reviewer : Anti-Matter Drone


Kirby is in trouble! All he has is some dynamite, but should he use it? As with almost all of his abilities, he has a hat from obtaining this ability! He throws the dynamite and puts on his helmet to protect himself! It destroys every enemy!

All right, in all seriousness, this is a pretty bad ability. First of all, if the dynamite hits a foe, it goes off prematurely. If he doesn't put on the hat, he gets hurt! This means that he can't move. In order to prevent this from being a godly ability, he has to take damage when he has the helmet on from everything else. That's why this is so bad. It doesn't go off right away so it isn't godly. This will kill you in some levels. You will keep on getting hit because you misaimed, and now you're thinking that you can't move or else it will go off and hurt you. You normally have enemies approaching you, so the dynamite can only help you in so many cases. It's just too hard to use. It isn't useful unless you can time it properly which would take so much time that you might as well learn to use Blazing Fireball (Fire + Fire). It takes too much time to learn how to use it when you can learn something else and do more with it. I'm sure that you could learn how to make a computer in the time it takes to learn how to use this effectively.
