This is another Kirby game for the forgotten Nintendo 64 (it's the last game for this console). Kirby 64 - The crystal shards is a very funny game for all the players beginners, intermediates and experts.

The history starts when Ribbon is a faerie from the planet Ripple Star, whose prize possession is a crystal. Evil threatens to take the crystal, but Ribbon selflessly hops on the crystal and tries to fly with it to a safer destination. But this strange force is too strong and Ribbon is far outnumbered as they crash into her, sending her and pieces of the crystal flying across the solar system. Luckily, Ribbon plunges right into Kirby, who is watching the starry sky. Once Ribbon explains her predicament, the huge hearted cosmic protector, Kirby, makes her mission and his one, to collect the shards and rid Ripple Star and the solar system of this strange evil. King Dedede, Adeleine, Ribbon and Waddle Dee join forces with Kirby as well, after Kirby frees them from their possession. Although the story is slightly different, it is Dark Matter once again that has threatened the safety of the universe and it's inhabitants.

The game is long and full of secrets. To find the 75 crystals it isn't easy, because the most crystals are hidden behind walls where you must combine your abilities to can break the wall. The game have mini-games too, where you can play alone or with a friend (for 2-4 or against the CPU), but play alone against the console is boring.

The graphics are goods, but aren't graphics of other N64 platfforms games like Donkey Kong 64, because Kirby 64 have graphics in 2-3D (are lineal graphics, where you go in only way). The sound is good, and the effects are goods too. The game is long and is full of secrets to discover, and the mini-games increase the enjoy of the game.
