Lovely game from start to finish. I enjoy every Kirby game I play and this one is no exception. Most NES games feel so outdated and primitive to me, but Kirby's Adventure is one of the biggest exceptions. I understand this could be in part to it being a late-release NES game, but my point stands regardless. Simply put it's one of the best games on the NES. Kirby's Adventure is the second game in the Kirby franchise, but I'd argue it's even more influential than its predecessor, Kirby's Dream Land. This was the first game to introduce copy abilities, a defining feature of the Kirby franchise, as well as many other game mechanics and characters including one of the most iconic characters of the series: Meta Knight. Everything about this game has aged greatly, from the graphics, gameplay, controls, level design, and music, and it all adds up to a peak experience on the NES.
