Kirby hasn't had many games that could be called bad but he sure has had a lot that were just sorta okay.

Kirby is the character Nintendo uses for good prototypes they can't develop with any other character. Yoshi is the character Nintendo uses for prototypes too underdeveloped for Kirby.

I wasn't a fan of kirby tilt n tumble, I think it just didn't come out at a good time to really gel with the available tech of the time. Playing a game that required you to move the game system around on a system where the screen was difficult to see if you moved it at odd angles was less than ideal. That combined with having to flip the game to jump, meaning you could jump but then you might die while trying to blindly readjust yourself was annoying as hell.

Guys, it's art.

Not like, blueprints for stuff. Not a suggestion. Not a photoshop to trick people into thinking that it's a photograph of something real.

It's just art.

Why video game icons? Why video game icons as buildings? Why video game icons as buildings in some post-apocalyptic landscape? So random!

It's a pun. The Japanese word for fireworks is hanabi which literally means fire flower.

Well, here it is! I let the bot play it because I'm incredibly bad at alternate strumming :d

Lesson learned: Don't do songs that are this long because doing a chart for an 8 minute song is excruciating.

Think of all the poo poo you have to go play and wade through to get that high a Achievement/Trophy Count.

Like I'm just proud of my few rare/hard cheevos like clearing RE4 on the hardest difficulty, Seven Day Survivor in Dead Rising and all VR missions in MGS2. Well, maybe proud isn't the right word I guess.

I also 100% both Sonic Adventure games when they were ported over to last generation's consoles and while I got all the A ranks legit, I recall that I used well-known glitch to beef up my Chao quickly to get those Chao-related emblems done with in a reasonable amount of time.

Maybe his dates were gamerscore groupies?
