Kirby's Dream Land is the first entry to feature the then-monochrome titular mascot Kirby and is pretty much the foundation of every single other 2D platformer to come out of this franchise, a simple yet bubbly and cutesy adventure through Dream Land that doesn't last very long, but it feels right at home with the hardware is in with its very accessible controls and softer curve of difficulty. It's short and sweet, but there's not much to it besides the variety of scenarios you're put in, the bosses themselves or beating the game again in the harder Extra Mode you unlock after beating it for the first time.
