Kirby's Adventure is the second game in the in the Kirby series and one of the last games on the NES. Due to it being released so late, it has some of the best graphics on the NES.

Gameplay
Kirby's Adventure borrows a lot from Kirby's original game, Kirby's Dream Land. Kirby can fly, inhale enemies, and jump.
