Kirby's Dream Land is a 1992 platforming video game from the Kirby franchise for the Game Boy, and the first installment of the Kirby series. Kirby's Dream Land was developed by HAL Laboratory, and was published by Nintendo. The game was also desgined by Masahiro Sakurai, the same person who created the franchise. Kirby's Dream Land introduces the series' main protogonist, Kirby, and antagonist, King Dedede. Kirby's Dream Land is also the franchise's most successful installment ever released, selling over 5 million copies since 1992.

Story

Not everything is well in peaceful Dream Land. The self proclaimed monarch, King Dedede, and his goons have stolen all the food in the Land. Kirby gears up and ventures his way to the the King's palace to retrieve the food from the evil King Dedede before all Dream Land's citizens starve.

Gameplay

Like most Kirby games, Kirby's Dream Land is played in a 2D platform. The player who controls Kirby must successfully pass each level and avoid attacks from enemies before losing all possible health points. Kirby can run, fly, and puff out air to destroy any nearby opponents. Kirby can also inhale enemies and objects. Once Kirby has inhales an opponent or object, Kirby can either spit them back out as as a star projectile and destroy the object or opponent that hits it. Or Kirby can swallow it. However when swallowing an opponent, Kirby does not gain any new ability as Kirby's copy ability does not debut until Kirby's Adventure.

Along the way various items will appear on the road to assist Kirby. These items enchance Kirby's attacks, allowing Kirby to destroy enemies or in some cases, a boss

• Microphone - The Microphone is an item that Kirby can inhale, and spit out to defeat opponents. However, when a microphone has been spit out, its projectile will devaste and destroy any opponents it encounters before leaving the screen. The same concept is used for the Mike.
• Bomb - Once Kirby inhales it, Kirby spits it out to devastate multiple enemies it encounters before leaving the screen. This same concept is used for other abilities in the series like Bomb and Crash abilities.
• Super Spicy Curry - Inhale it, and Kirby will continually spit fire and burn anything on sight but only for little time. This same concept is used for future fire based powers like Fire.
• Mint Leaf - This item allows Kirby to stay puff and shoot multiple gasps of air continaully until the power runs out. This item is mainly used when battling Kaboola.
• Invincibility Candy - This allows Kirby to become invincible for a short limited time. With it, Kirby can destroy any enemy he runs into. This is the only item to reappear in future games.

Other Modes

Kirby's Dream Land features other game modes that are more challenging, or can be made as challenging or easy as the player wants.

Configuration Mode

If the player were to hold the buttons, B + Down + Select on the title screen, they would enter a mode where they can change your Total HP (6-1) or amount of lives they carry. (9-1). This can mean, when set the right way, 1 hit could result in an instant Game Over.

Extra Mode

Extra Mode is where all the enemies are more challenging. For example, Waddle Dee moves faster, and can jump. Also, normal enemies usually deal 2 damage instead of one. Some older enemies have been replaced with newer more aggressive enemies. To enter, press Up, Select and A at the title screen.

Spring Breeze

Main article: Spring Breeze

In Kirby Super Star (and Ultra), one of the Sub-Games that the player can play is named Spring Breeze, which is a remake of Kirby's Dream land with some differences. Some include:

• Obtain Copy Abilities and make Helpers.
• Items that give Kirby powers are gone.
• Kaboola is not found. (However, in Revenge of the King of Ultra, a more challenging version of Spring Breeze, Kirby does fight Kaboola, now Kabula.)
• Castle Lololo is not in the remake, Lololo and Lalala are in Float Islands, and, as mentioned above Kaboola is taken out altogether.
