This is the first Kirby's game ever made, but i don't think that it has aged very well.

First of all, let's talk about the positives:
This game's graphics are really good for the Game Boy, there are some big and detailed sprites.
The soundtrack is by far the best aspect of the game, some classic levels and musics of the series were created here, like green greens.
Also, some enemies that appear in the series to this day are on this game, like Whispy Woods.

So, why this game isn't a good experience?
It's is because it feels incomplete, it seems like kirby is a good idea that needs to be developed further.
In this game, Kirby can't absorb enemy's abalities, so he can only throw them into other enemies, it makes the gameplay boring sometimes.
It is also a really easy game, which doesn't seem unusual when we are speaking about Kirby, but here it is a problem because the game is also very short, I beat it in less than 30 minutes.
Even the Kirby's design wasn't finished yet, he is white on the box art, instead of pink.

In conclusion, this isn't a bad game, just feel like prototype of what the series would become, and it's not very fun to play. I would recommend this game only if you want to know how the Kirby series began.
