My top would be Super Star/Super Star Ultra, but I would like to give props to Triple Deluxe for making really good use of the hypernova inhalation ability. Those poor eels.

Kirby Super Star Ultra took the best Kirby game and made it even better.

I boight Kirby: Canvas Curse because GAF loved it and I think it sucked hard. Never played a Kirby game ever again.

Super Star is my personal favorite but I've also only played a fraction of Kirby games.
I don't really "get" Super Star? I was hyped for Ultra after playing Nightmare in Dreamland but I never beat it. Really weird structure.
My favorite is far and away Nightmare in Dreamland. Awesome fucking game, animation is super smooth so running around with a melee weapon like the sword or hammer makes me feel like such a boss.

I've only played a couple of Kirby games but Squeak Squad is hands down the best game, ya'll.
and ocean kirby is best kirby
I haven't played many of the kirby platformers, as they seemed a little bland to me, but Dream Course is amazing. One of my favorite games of all time, and one that I'm continuously perplexed hasn't seen a remake or sequel. It was just such an amazingly tight game. It would be fantastic on a modern console (or handheld) with updated visuals.

64 is one of my favorites because of power mixing. Thought SS was doing the same and ended up being one of my least favorites because of it not doing it except for the sword power. Super Star Ultra and the side games are my favorite.
Super star because the mechanics had depth, each power had a movelist and the game had co-op but it was like the most fun and equal "family member is not as good at this" mode ever.
Also the variety of the different modes.
I'd like to play Triple Delux, does it have any similarities.
Also my favorite character is MetaKnight and my favorite power is PLASMA. I loved the idea of creating static to charge your ability, so creative.

My favourite is Kirby's Epic Yarn, followed by Kirby 64 and Kirby's Dreamland 3.
Kirby's Dreamland was my first ever videogame, so I'll always have a very special connection to that franchise.
That said, my top 3 are:
3. Kirby's Return to Dreamland
The only Kirby game I played through in coop with a buddy. Had a great time.
2. Kirby Triple Deluxe
I played through this rather recently, and damn was it good. I really liked the multi layered level design, and the abilities all had a lot of moves and were fun to use. Enjoyed the bossfights too, and the moment
put a huge grin on my face. Great game. Also
1. Kirby Super Star Ultra
Still the best package. Tons of content, awesome abilities, some really challenging bosses, and
. GOAT.
Gotta give a shoutout to Kirby's air Ride though, very fun game. I put countless hours into City Trail (solo). I never got tired of that shit.
Next Kirby game should give us a character select between Dedede, MK and Kirby. Always bums me out when Dedede or MK aren't playable.

Kirby Super Star, the co-op play is just amazing. The Helper has an amazing amount of depth to it, and nearly breaks the game in some instances. But it's very fun to be the helper.
KSS Ultra had it too but you need two systems and two carts to enjoy it.

Canvas Curse was my first Kirby game. That was unfortunate because I still have to play a better one.
I remember when me and my friend discovered the power of T.A.C.

My personal favorite is Epic Yarn.
SUPER STAR WAS THE BEST FOR A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF THE VARIETY, FANTASTIC COOP AND LARGE MOVESETS. I'D SAY THAT RETURN TO DREAMLAND TOPPED IT THOUGH. IT DOESN'T HAVE QUITE THE SAME VARIETY, BUT IT ADDS IN THE COLLECTATHON ASPECTS OF THE NON-SAKURAI DREAM LAND GAMES, IMPROVES SOME OF THE MORE BORING MOVESETS LIKE CUTTER, AND EXTRA MODE IS A BIG PLUS.
THE NON-SAKURAI GAMES TEND TO BE A LOT SLOWER SO I DON'T LIKE THEM AS MUCH. ESPECIALLY 64, EVEN THOUGH COMBINING POWERS IS COOL.
FOR THE NON-TRADITIONAL-PLATFORMERS, THEY'RE ALL PRETTY GOOD, BUT MASS ATTACK IS PROBABLY THE BEST OVERALL AS FAR AS I'VE PLAYED. THERE'S JUST A TON OF CONTENT THERE. KIRBY'S BLOCK BALL IS REALLY GOOD THOUGH, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S FRAMED LIKE A HIGH-QUALITY PLATFORMER EVEN THOUGH IT'S A PUZZLE GAME, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE.

Wow, this post is annoying to look at. :|

I have still yet to play a Kirby other than Super Star. I want to fix that one of these days.

For traditional Kirby, I still think Super Star is the best. Along with The Amazing Mirror, Adventure/Nightmare in DreamLand, Return to DreamLand and Triple Deluxe it constitutes the top tier of Kirby games.
There are many great spinoffs. Tilt n Tumble, Air Ride, Canvas Curse (sadly can't play Rainbow Curse due to lack of a Wii U) and Mass Attack are totally worth a play.

I think Return to Dreamland is the best, most complete Kirby adventure.
I also have a spot for the Dark Matter trilogy, despite its flaws

THE BEST KIRBY GAME IS CANVAS CURSE
Rainbow Curse was a disappointing successor.

Favorite would have to be Super Star Ultra, followed by Canvas Curse, but I haven't played too much of the series. Epic Yarn gets points for its music and art style. Least favorite would be Mass Attack... it just didn't feel very fun for me to play, I don't like games like this or W101 where you indirectly control a ton of guys at once.
Damn, this thread makes me realize I gotta get in on dat Triple Deluxe... Also want to play Amazing Mirror since I love Metroidvania games.
