Replaying Kirby's Dream Land made me realize just how ambitious the original release of Kirby's Adventure actually was. If you don't already know, I wrote a very negative review of that game. It was a miserable experience that mainly stemmed from its annoyingly frequent slowdown which made the game a lot harder than it was actually meant to be.

Dream Land is Kirby's actual first adventure, and despite only featuring 5 levels and being able to complete it in around 20 minutes, it's still a fun game. It's incredibly simple, with Kirby's now standard copy ability being absent here. This simplicity and almost non-existant difficulty, along with its short length, is the reason I don't rate it any higher. But still, let it be known that I enjoy it. If this game had the severe level of slowdown that Kirby's Adventure had, I have no doubt I would despise it. But it's made me very curious to give the 3D Classics version of Adventure a shot, since it apparently fixed the slowdown. Yes folks, there is hope yet for my sinful hot take on Kirby's NES outing.

But really, this was a nice game to wind down with before bed. Goodnight Kirby. I shall now enter my own dream land.
