How do you feel on Kirby games? (sh.itjust.works)

I dont know all of them, but for example the earlier ones like Kirbys dream land 2; were they supposed to be ridiculously easy games? Like I do enjoy them just as a chill game to play. But im wondering what their purpose was. I maybe do recall reading they were made for younger kids. I just have always thought of Kirby as WAY overpowered and as such the games almost become blah.

I think I played one of the newer ones on switch and while it was really cool how you could become a car, I think the gameplay was still a little hand holdy.

I loved them as a kid for exactly that reason. I was not good at video games in the NES era, and Kirby was the one game I could actually beat. It was cool not just replaying the same 2-3 levels over and over again for hours.
