Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland powers

Anyone have Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland for GBA? It's a remake of Kirby's Adventure from the NES.

I was wondering what everyone's favorite powers are. There are a few I find completely useless (almost) and a few that I love to have.

Love:
-Spark (especially when I need to fall down a big drop with a lot of enemies falling around me)
-Spike (same conditions)
-Freeze (same conditions)
-Throw (this one is a blast everywhere)
-Backdrop (same)
-Blast [I think that's what it's called](Wheee! Need I explain more?)
-Mike (same reason as Blast, but with the bonus of hearing Kirby scream!)

Hate:
-Laser (it's too pinpointy, doesn't hit very many enemies)
-Tornado (it just doesn't feel comfortable and it always runs out when I run into something)
-Fire or Ice (I hate how you have to stop to breath it out, and it doesn't have a very satisfying range)
-Sleep (could someone please tell me the POINT of this power?!)

And then there are a bunch of things I don't mind, like Sword, Stone, Parasol...

So, what powers do you like/dislike, and what do you think about the game?

The use for sleep is to see the little ball of pink to look cute, yes, I'm a guy. I have a weakness for cute things, like dogs ...

I like none power Kirby, cause he can get all the other powers.
