After waking from his afternoon nap without having any dreams, Kirby investigates the Fountain of Dreams. There, he finds that the Star Rod has been stolen by King Dedede and broken into seven pieces. It's up to Kirby to restore the Star Rod and save everyone's dreams.

Gameplay

Kirby's Adventure borrows a lot from Kirby's original game, Kirby's Dream Land. Kirby can fly, inhale enemies, and jump (as well as float by holding in air) as he makes his way through a variety of levels, while facing a variety of bosses. One of the bosses is Meta Knight, making his first appearance in the series.

The most lasting change to the gameplay was Kirby's new copy ability. In the previous game, whenever Kirby swallowed an enemy, all he could do was spit the star back out. Starting in Kirby's Adventure, Kirby gained new powers by swallowing enemies.

Continuity Notes

The instruction manual mentions Dedede's previous attack on Dream Land from Kirby's Dream Land (the preceding platformer).

Legacy

Kirby's copy ability became a staple of the Kirby series and was utilized in most games of the franchise. Adventure is also notable s the first appearance of recurring character Meta Knight.

Sequels

The next game to feature Kirby, Kirby's Pinball Land, came out in November of the same year. However, the next platformer was Kirby's Dream Land 2, which wasn't released until 1995.
