Kirby's Adventure is a platformer that was released late in the NES's lifespan. In this game, Kirby must retrieve the broken Star Rod pieces in order to restore everyones' dream.

Overview

Kirby's Adventure was the second game released in the Kirby series, the first for a home console, and one of the final games released for the NES. It also marked the first time that Kirby was colored pink. In the original Kirby's Dream Land, for the Gameboy, Kirby was shown as white on the box art.

The game is a platformer that includes many unique aspects. The foremost of these is Kirby's copy ability, which allows him to inhale and swallow enemies to gain their power. For instance, swallowing a flame enemy will allow him to breathe fire, while swallowing a laser enemy will allow him to shoot a laser beam. Kirby also retains his abilities from Kirby's Dream Land, like sucking in air to fly, and swallowing and spitting out blocks at enemies. The game is divided into seven overworlds, each with six sub-levels and several bonus stages. Completing a level opens up further levels in the world, while finding secret areas in the levels opens up bonus stages.
