Super Kiwi 64 is cohesive, down to a tee. Every blip of this game is molded to nod towards old platforming games, visually and practically. It may be tiny, but the experience is short and sweet, rarely hitting any snag at all.

About
Super Kiwi 64 is a 3D-Platformer and Collect-a-Thon, in a low poly late 90s console look.
Features:
- Low poly late 90s retro looks.
- Kiwi can jump, glide, corkscrew-attack and stick to walls in order to jump up almost every wall.
- The levels can be played in any order, and not every level needs to be finished in order to collect enough to reach the ending.

Critic reviews
- Super Kiwi 64 is pretty decent overall and won’t hurt your wallet. That said, despite the many things working in its favor, it has a rough around the edges feel I didn’t expect. A patch may determine if this a game you go back to every so often or if it’s a one-and-done deal.
- 6.0The microsecond celebratory pose of the kiwi as it collects a jewel is comically undersold compared to Mario’s – now rather overblown – twirl when collecting a Power Moon. Blink and you’ll miss it but, taken as a joke, it’s pitch-perfect.
- 7.0Like past SIACTRO titles, Super Kiwi 64 does have a lot of secrets and even has a password mechanic where players can play with other skins if they find the codes hidden in the levels. It isn't a deep game and, as mentioned earlier, it is over in about an hour. However, Super Kiwi 64 is a very pleasant and cathartic experience for anyone who grew up playing Nintendo 64 or for children who are learning to play 3D games. There are not too many obstacles, most threats aren't threatening, and Kiwi's mobility and tight controls make him manageable for neophytes.
- 7.0There’s no doubt that Siactro is a master of his craft, it’s just that his craft might not be for everyone. I, for one, broadly enjoyed Super Kiwi 64 and anyone else would too if they take it on face value. Sure, Super Kiwi 64 lacks a bit of spice and pazazz but on the flip side, it will sate the appetite of many gamers of a certain generation.
