Kirby has a tendency to arrive a little too late. The biggest example is Kirby's Adventure which launched way after the SNES was a thing. It still did become a classic though, because it's that good. But still wasn't as recognized as it should have been.
Likewise Kirby's Dream Land 3 released on SNES when the N64 was available. But, Dream Land 3 was more overshadowed by Kirby Superstar, its superior prequel.
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror was released right at the buzzer, a few months before the Nintendo DS. Kirby Mass Attack was not so lucky, arriving after the 3DS. That one was really overlooked.
