'''Kirby's Dream Land 2''' is a plaforming adventure game that was released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1995. A sequel to ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', it is actually the third ''[[Portal: Kirby|Kirby]]'' game overall, following ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''.

=Story=

The rainbows that connect the islands of Dream Land have been stolen by [[King Dedede]], who is possessed by [[Dark Matter]]. [[Kirby]] must defeat him and restore order to the land.

=Gameplay=

''Kirby's Dream Land'' followed the established Kirby formula, including the Copy ability that was introduced in ''Adventure''. Kirby runs, jump, flies, and inhales enemies to copy their abilities. This game also featured animal allies who Kirby could ride through levels, each with their own special attributes. [[Rick the Hamster]] can move quickly and is capable of walking on ice without sliding. [[Coo the Owl]] could fly through strong winds that would normally repel Kirby and [[Kine the Fish]] could similarly help swim through harsh currents. Kirby could still inhale while riding the animals, and his animal partners could use altered versions of the Copy abilities while Kirby is riding them.

=Legacy=

==Sequels==

The next ''Kirby'' game was ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', which was released for the [[Super NES]] in 1996. ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' came afterwards in 1997 and was the only other game to feature Kirby's animal friends, while adding several new ones.

==Ports and Remakes==
*A remake was planned for the [[Game Boy Color]] as ''Kirby's Dream Land 2 DX'', but it was cancelled along with ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus|Metroid II: Return of Samus DX]]''.
*In 2012 and 2013, it was released for download through the [[3DS]]'s eShop as part of the [[3DS Virtual Console]].
