Kirby's Adventure surprised me with how it was able to run this massive colorful and vibrant game onto an NES. It is one hell of a showcase when it comes to the system itself, and what it delivered was a fun and engaging experience at the cost of a smooth frame rate. This is the obvious downside of Kirby's Adventure as the frame rate chugs on certain occasions due to how huge the game is. It's manageable as it doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of the game, but it’s heavily noticeable.

Copy abilities made their debut here as they laid the foundation for future installments. Not all of these abilities are winners, I mean the Light ability exists with its only purpose being to light up dark rooms (exciting I know), but the rest are fun to utilize. Kirby's Adventure remains consequential in the franchise's history and is easily a Top 5 for me when it comes to the NES' library. Check this one out if you haven't.
