A superb follow-up to the original Game Boy game. Kirby's Adventure took everything that made the first one such a charming experience and supersized it here with way more levels than the original to play through. They also introduced Kirby's trademark ability of not only sucking up enemies, but being able to take their powers to add an extra layer of depth to the gameplay.
The visuals are just as endearing as in the original game, and the variety in levels really allows for the colorful world to shine while featuring the same great quality of sound design and music.

Played for RetroAchievements. I never beat this as a kid but I remember playing it at my neighbor's house when I would go there after school when my parents weren't home. Weirdly nostalgic for a game I barely touched. But it's Kirby, fun but too easy to be engaging. Will go for the mastery someday but just running through it straight was pretty boring.
First you make a game about a pink ball for the game boy. Then you make one for the NES. Add copy abilities, make the game an actual adventure. and bam! You get Kirby's Adventure for the NES!
Kirby's Adventure is the sequel to Dream Land. Which is weird because Dream Land 2 and 3 exist, but hey it might as well be a sequel. This game is basically an improvement on everything Dream Land did while also having a fitting duration for it. Dream Land sort of felt like a demo, but it was perfect for the Game Boy since it's portable. However you can't really do that with a home console. It's odd though since this came out when the NES was irrelevant in terms of popularity. Everyone either had a SNES or the Genesis, and probably threw their NES into an attic or the trash. The game still did well though with apparently 1.75 million copies. And it's definitely deserved. I enjoyed this way more over Dream Land.
Adventure introduces a LOT to the table, with the main addition being copy abilities! They aren't fleshed out and some feel weird or suck to control like the sword which feels way better in other games, but honestly I'm surprised with how many got in. It's nice to see, even if all aren't hits. The levels are also more grand and have better level design than Dream Land. Some got weirdly short towards the end and some enemy placement could be rather obnoxious, but other than that, I liked the levels.
Can I just say this game is incredibly charming too? The game's graphics are great for the NES even if they do make the game run bad at times, especially with input delay. Which, yeah got really annoying, but it's more of an issue with the NES than the game. The expressions on the characters are great too. Also, I love the minigames here. They're a nice side thing to do when playing the main game, and you can get them normally, but also from pressing big buttons hidden in the levels. Always nice to have secrets in a game, even if they aren't exactly hard to get.
With all of that said, Adventure is a solid old school platformer. It's not a timeless game, but it's a good fun short journey with a cute pink puffball! How can you not like him? Anyways, I'm glad I decided to play this along with Dream Land before going to Dream Land 2 and 3. It's nice to see what came before those and it should definitely allow me to appreciate them more. So I can't wait to try the other 2 out. Maybe Super Star if I feel like it.

All I can say is I'm happy this game marked the debut of Kirby's iconic copy ability but that is. Level deign was bland and enemy placement was frustrating highlighted further by the 1 hit copy ability drop . Controls also felt very clunky I can safely say I won't be returning to this game
Aesthetically beautiful, fun and cute, no more words needed, it's just one of the best Kirby and NES games
Estéticamente lindo, divertido e fofo, não precisa de mais palavras, é só um dos melhores kirby e jogos do nes
