Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

One peaceful day on the planet Ripple Star, a dark cloud covers the planet. The queen of Ripple Star orders a fairy named Ribbon to call for help. She gets one crystal and tries to fly away, but is defeated by the Dark Matter minions. She crashes on a planet called Pop Star, losing 72 crystal pieces in the process. Kirby finds one crystal and gives it to Ribbon, whereupon the two set out to find the others. Once Kirby and his friends collect every Crystal Shard and defeat Miracle Matter, the Dark Matter flees Ripple Star, and manifests together to create Dark Star. Kirby and his friends infiltrate Dark Star, and King Dedede launches them up to the revived form of Zero, Zero Two. It turns out Zero Two can only feel negative emotions, and wants Dream Land to feel the same (this seemingly being the reason he attacked Ripple Star to begin with.) However, Kirby and Ribbon, armed with their Shard Gun, defeat Zero Two.

One of the more unique Kirby games, features ability mixing for the seven basic abilities (Fire, Ice, Needle, Cutter, Bomb, Spark, Stone) for a total of 7 standard and 28 combination abilities with unique effects. Some were hilarious (Fire + Spark) and others were useless/random (Ice + Spark I think)

Level design was lush, and Kirby's deaths/KOs where partly amusing... Bosses were decent but distinctly KDL2/3 styled.
 
I love this game, it is my favorite Kirby game of all time. The graphics are beautiful and bright, the music was great for it's time, I love how you can mix every possible ability avilable, the cutscenes were humorous and nice, and the unlockables like the minigames, enemy cards, and the secret sutscenes were a great addition.

I know, right? =P The fact that you can combine power-ups was awesome.
