Completed my first Kirby, Kirby's Adventure. To say I'm surprised is an understatement. All the way, they managed to surprise me with some absurd amount of abilities, a variety of level design, which uses both horizontal and vertical directions to its fullest. Cool bosses, the patterns of which you really need to study before you fight effectively (it's like dark souls at mins). An incredible amount of animations for a game on the NES, in particular main character, who in response to almost every action of yours has some kind of cute reaction, not to mention the unique, funny cut scenes at the beginning of each of the levels, which, again, I don’t recall in any NES game I know.

Finally, the main distinguishing feature of the game: abilities, which counts, attention, 24 (!). And a significant part of them has unique animations and effects. I have no idea how they managed to fit all this on a NES cartridge, but they damn well did it. Turns out Sakurai was great long before Smash.

P.s. Oh yeah, the pre-final and final bosses and the ending in general are just an absolute blast. Again, I repeat, I did not expect this from the NES game, and the authors clearly tried to finish this adventure by squeezing everything possible out of the console and demonstrating a truly amazing sight. Bravo
