Reviews from

in the past


Review applies to both this game and Kirby's adventure which this is a remake of. This is an extremely solid follow-up to Kirby's Dream Land. Taking everything that already works from the first game and giving Kirby the new iconic copy ability that changes everything, and makes Kirby who he is today.

A great platformer with a relaxed but fun difficulty. Kirby's (Adventure) knightmare in dreamland keeps you on your toes offering you new copy abilities to play with until the final levels. Copy abilities offer some good replayability due to the fact that it offers you mutliple ways to play.

Nothing here reaches the heights some other parts of the series do, but it is consistently good the whole way through. I like to consider Kirby's Adventure the original Super Mario Bros of the franchise where it is a great foundation to the rest of the series, but still has potential to reach the great heights it eventually does.

First 6 levels were mehhh last two were cool asf

This game is the first non-edutainment game I ever remember playing. As such, it holds a very special place in my heart. Even beyond that, I think it's just a damn good Kirby game. Not the best one, but still really great. The Meta Knight mode is a cool bonus for beating the hardest mode in the game.

my first kirby game! was told it's a good place to start and man I just don't really get the appeal beyond really cute sprite work. obviously intended as a more casual experience for a younger demographic but this is literally just far, far too easy and not an especially rewarding experience, even as a de-stressor. any half decent power (sword or laser) and you can clear a way through just about anybody, if you're even bothering to fight them because it's just as easy to just... float past. it's nice! I did enjoy it, just not a bunch


This shit banged bro i love all the cool powerups and shit. Sweet ass game.

My first ever Kirby game. I played it a lot when I was like 5 but I gave it to a friend who "lost it" so I never really grew up with it. I then found it at a used game store for like 8 bucks back in like 2017 (back when game collecting was affordable) and played it a lot. But 100% is a chore. overall the box art sucks but the remake is super good the added a lot of cool new stuff and definitely the definitive version in my book. Play it if you can.

I enjoyed this game compared to Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and even the original NES version as well!

It's very cool to have a portable Kirby's Adventure, but this game doesn't stand up to the original due to the visuals. They are technically "better", but they lack the art direction of the NES title.

felt like a rehash of kirby on nes but still lit ig

jogava com um amigo na quarta serie, ele era um fofo e gostava kirby

i own 3 cartridges of this game and have 100%ed it like 20 times and i think ive come to the conclusion i dont think i like it very much. maybe because ive 100%ed it 20 times or something i dunno

Achieved 100% in both Normal and Extra Mode, and cleared Meta Knightmare. Did not finish Boss Endurance. I may return to this game for a replay, using my Game Boy Player peripheral.

My first Kirby game. It's REALLY good, I enjoyed it a lot. A bit difficult, but really fun overall.

Like all Kirby games: easy, fun, and has good replay value. It does have some cool bonus content if you manage to "200%" the game.

FLUFF UP YOUR PILLOW!
Yeah it's a Kirby game. It's not the best Kirby game I've played but it's still an enjoyable time. The spritework is gorgeous and the story is kinda clever (for a remake of an NES game anyway) Also why is Nightmare hot? Is that just me? Am I a crazy person?

jogar kirby é um dos meus meios de conforto mental, mas eu penei com esse controle do kirby. fora isso continua gostosinho de jogar :p

who would've guessed that a remake of a good game would also be good, right? if you liked kirby's adventure, you'll probably like this game, and vice versa

My first Kirby game, I remember seeing the commercials when I was younger and desperately wanting it. A solid introduction to the series, but after playing more of the series there are a lot of Kirby games that were and are better, none the less it worth playing through once or twice.

Pros: A solid remake of Kirby's Adventure on NES, full visual upgrade in a very blissful and painterly art style. Some improvements from Kirby Super Star show up here as well, including the ability to float by pressing the jump button while in the air, instead of needing to press Up on the d-pad. Also, HATS!! The classic hats from Kirby Super Star return here for each and every ability (and of course new hats for the abilities that weren't in KSS), and Kirby's hats are a huge draw, so much fun to see what hat he wears for what ability, and of course they're cute.

In addition to the Kirby Super Star modifications, there's also some brand new modes of play here, first of which, four player co-op, which is, oh my god, that's huge. Kirby's Adventure wasn't even two player co-op, and here, we can do four frickin players, where each player is a different colored Kirby as you can adventure through the entire game together. It does require four game paks, but if you only have one game pak, that's alright, you can still play the minigames included (which iirc, they're all new too!). One of the more memorable minigames here is a "Hot potato" game where you toss a bomb from Kirby to Kirby using frying pans, as it goes faster and slower and back and forth until BOOM, blows up. Fun little game... But, the mode of all modes, the cream of the crop, one of the coolest final unlockable modes I've experienced as a kid, is certainly Meta Knightmare!! A brand new mode where you play the entire game again, but as the cool and mysterious character, Meta Knight!! Now, this character disappeared from the Kirby series after Super Star, taking a bit of a hiatus, so him not only showing up here, but getting full playable status in his own mode, through the full game, is an excellent grand return! So you can slash and jump with speed and ease, and even use Meta Knight's little bat wings from Super Star to flap around too. It feels great to play as him, and I feel this prestigious status of his here set the course for him to show up on the roster for Smash Bros down the road!

Cons: There are some background elements that were removed or altered from the original in ways that are... worse. One of the cooler areas of the NES original was a column that would rotate as you'd walk around it, a snazzy effect... It's... Totally absent here. Bummer... Otherwise though? I feel this is the definitive version of Kirby's Adventure, more than enough makes up for those missing elements. But even still, Kirby's Adventure isn't my favorite of Kirby games, there's still the annoyance of losing your copy ability after a single hit, every time... and having to chase it down to obtain it again. Not to mention each copy ability still only gives you one attack... So, yeah, it's a great game, but for me personally, it didn't do enough to match the way Kirby Super Star plays.

What it means to me: This was my introduction to Kirby's Adventure, in every which way. When I first saw the reveal of this game, I was hyped, because, well, I thought it was a brand new original Kirby game for the Game Boy Advance! Having never even seen Kirby's Adventure on NES prior to this version, I thought I was seeing a true sequel to Super Star, given all of the aesthetic similarities... So, it was a bit confusing once I finally got my hands on it. But hey, still a great game worth playing!

this is kirby's equivalent to a licensed game

I'm not elaborating on that

unico kirby que jugue.
a pesar de ser para GBA no decepciona


wait I didn't rate this game before? lol
Well whatever, candidate the most boring game I've ever played in my life

MITADA, ZEREI NO TELEFONE JOGANDO EM EMULADOR DE GBA UFF MITADA DA NINTENDO

Foi o jogo que me introduziu a franquia então tenho um carinho por ele

I mean, I can't say it's bad, but it sure is a Kirby game that exists and not much else
