Even in Kirby's Epic Yarn ice physics are terrible. By which, I mean that they are spot on. Whenever you land on a platform, you don't just stop but instead skate along with your momentum. This adds a welcome element of challenge to the game. One that's compounded by playing the game with two players.
The multiplayer's not as bad for co-operative play as New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Nonetheless, when the platforms get small and the surfaces get slippery, then it's easy to get into each others' way. But that's the greatest source of difficulty in the game. Plus, levels and their secrets are designed in such a way that they reward people playing together.
Sometimes there are things hidden so high up that one player needs to leap off of the back of another while they're in mid-jump. Or, in other cases, you'll need something to throw into a block but your partner will be the only thing around. So the game's multiplayer may well be its strongest feature.
