History YMMV / KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror

* BrokenBase: This game has quite a bit of this going on due to its {{Metroidvania}} aspects. While plenty of fans enjoy this take on a ''Kirby'' game, there are some fans who have criticized it for being overblown, confusing, poorly-designed and not meshing well with the ''Kirby'' formula. It being the first mainline ''Kirby'' title after the departure of series creator Creator/MasahiroSakurai also gives it an added TheBandMinusTheFace stigma.

** Mega Titan. His impenetrable armor -- except against electric abilities, namely Spark, Beam and UFO -- and fast, wide-reaching attacks make for a frustrating fight; and he becomes smaller and more difficult in his Titan Head form. Not a good thing when he's ''still'' launching missiles at you from every which way.

** The boss of Candy Constellation: [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Master Hand]] and [[DualBoss Crazy Hand]]. For added awesomeness, use the Smash Bros. Ability to make it seem even more fitting for the battle against the Hands.

* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: Bombar is a sentient jet plane that is supposed to wear ScarfOfAsskicking... but the sprite limitations make it accidentally look like a SlasherSmile.

* GameBreaker: In multiplayer, one player can stand outside a Warp Goal door and repeatedly call the other player(s) to warp them back to their location, allowing them to play the goal game over and over again to grind extra lives and health with no backtracking needed.

** Mega Titan. His impenetrable armor (except against electric attacks) and fast attacks make for a frustrating fight.
** Returning from ''[[VideoGame/KirbysAdventure Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', Phan Phan qualifies as That One Mid-boss. Between his pattern being randomized, moving insanely fast, and his attacks coming out quickly with little warning, he is by far the most annoying miniboss to fight.
** Box Boxer is very annoying with his constant grabs, throws, and stunlocks.

%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The themes for Mustard Mountain, Radish Ruins, and Candy Constellation. Also, [[spoiler:Dark Mind's]] second form theme. Olive Ocean as well.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Although the game is centered around mirrors, Simirror (and, by extension, the Mirror ability) is nowhere to be seen.

* BestBossEver: Even if it's considered ThatOneBoss, the fight against Mega Titan is still extremely fun and hectic. Not to mention you're fighting a flying, [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four-armed]], {{Rocket Punch}}ing mecha-knight called '''''[[AwesomeMcCoolname Mega Titan]]'''''.
** While we're at it, the boss of Candy Constellation: [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Master Hand]] [[DualBoss and]] [[GuestFighter Crazy Hand]]. This is as close as we can get to fighting the two in Kirby's own series. For added awesomeness, use the Smash Bros. Ability to make it seem even more fitting for the battle against the Hands.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Although the game is centered around mirrors, Simirror (and, by extention, the Mirror ability) is nowhere to be seen.

* AntiClimaxBoss: With all four Kirbies attacking him from underwater, Gobbler is an absolute pushover who can go down in ''seconds''. For some reason, the four water blasts bypass the boss' invincibility frames.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The themes for Mustard Mountain, Radish Ruins, and Candy Constellation. Also, [[spoiler:Dark Mind's]] second form theme.
** Olive Ocean as well.

* GoddamnedBats: The Bronto Burts. In addition to them, there's the Sword and Heavy Knights (they move fast), Leap (they'll kiss you if you're not careful in the air, and you're helpless for a few seconds thanks to [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Kirby getting out a handkerchief and wiping the kiss off of his face]]), and Roly-Poly (He rolls down slopes and bumps into you if you're not careful). Also the Batty enemy.

* ScrappyMechanic: Some spots in the game require you to hold on to a specific ability until you reach a puzzle that requires it. If you take the wrong path, you'll have to return to the hub and retread the path, and if you lose your ability along the way, you'll have to find it again.

** Box Boxer is also very annoying with his constant grabs, throws, and stunlocks.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The Kirbys can use large cellphones with antennae, which have been since displaced by smartphones.

** Phan Phan qualifies as That One Mid-boss. Between his pattern being randomized, moving insanely fast, and his attacks coming out quickly with little warning, he is by far the most annoying miniboss to fight.

Also the Batty enemy.

*** BestBossEver: Nevertheless, the fight is still extremely fun and hectic. Not to mention you're fighting a flying, [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four-armed]], {{Rocket Punch}}ing mecha-knight called '''''[[AwesomeMcCoolname Mega Titan]]'''''.

** Box Boxer is also very annoying with his constant grabs, throws, and stunlocks.

* AbsenteeActor: King Dedede.
