The only Kirby game I've played was Triple Deluxe years and years ago and it was fun but lacked challenge... as Kirby games do, it seems. Which one would you recommend as the best starting point nowadays, if I'd like to play more? Forbidden Land seems like the obvious choice but I'm afraid other Kirbys wouldn't feel as good after playing the number two on your list.

If you still have a 3DS, Planet Robobot is also on the easy side, but I find is never boring or rote: it keeps you much more engaged than Triple Deluxe. Return to Dream Land has a lot of skill-based stuff to unlock and do, plus a challenging difficulty with half health after completion, and similarly engaging level design. Super Star might be #1, but I also think it's a great entry point because of the way it's designed as basically a Kirby anthology. Ultra is the superior version, but the original is on Nintendo Switch Online.
