Kirby's Adventure is the second game in the in the Kirby series and one of the last games on the NES. Due to it being released so late, it has some of the best graphics on the NES.
Story
After waking from his afternoon nap without having any dreams, Kirby investigates the Fountain of Dreams. There, he finds that the Star Rod has been stolen by King Dedede and broken into seven pieces. It's up to Kirby to restore the Star Rod and save everyone's dreams.
Gameplay
Kirby's Adventure borrows a lot from Kirby's original game, Kirby's Dream Land. Kirby can fly, inhale enemies, and jump.
The most lasting change to the gameplay was Kirby's new copy ability. In the previous game, nothing happened when Kirby swallowed an enemy. In Kirby's Adventure, Kirby gained new powers by swallowing enemies.
Continuity Notes
- The instruction manual mentions Dedede's previous attack on Dream Land from Kirby's Dream Land (the preceding platformer).
Legacy
Kirby's copy ability would be seen in most of the games that came after Kirby's Adventure. Also notable is the first appearance of recurring character Meta Knight.
Sequels
The next game to feature Kirby, Kirby's Pinball Land, came out in November of the same year. However, the next platformer was Kirby's Dream Land 2 and it wasn't released until 1995.
Ports and Remakes
- Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a Game Boy Advance remake of Kirby's Adventure.
- In 2007, Kirby's Adventure was rereleased for the Wii's Virtual Console. A demo version was included in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Masterpiece.
