''Kirby's Dream Land'' is a side-scrolling platformer title, and follows suit from other such video games of the age, with a few key differences. The game - and its titular protagonist - are designed with beginners in mind. Instead of restricting the player to a single jump and limited attacks, [[Kirby]] is able to [[hover]] indefinitely in the air to get over [[bottomless pit]]s and other hazards. He is also fairly hardy, able to take several hits before being defeated, whereas most other platformers would have the character defeated in one or two hits. Kirby is also equipped with his trusty [[inhale]], which allows him to simply eat most of the enemies on his path, and [[Star Bullet|spit them out]] to defeat other enemies.

After defeating Dedede and collecting the last of these stars, Kirby uses them to inflate into a giant hot air balloon, and carry Dedede's castle all across the land, showering the stolen food back onto the kingdom. That done, Kirby returns to normal size and lands on a podium, to be cheered by the denizens of Dream Land, who look an awful lot like him. | ||

''Kirby's Dream Land'' is a two-dimensional platforming game set in the whimsical fantasy realm of Dream Land. The player controls Kirby and must successfully complete each stage by getting this spry round fellow to the end - avoiding attacks from enemies before losing all of his [[Health|vitality points]] to them - and defeating the [[boss]] at the end of each stage. To accomplish this, Kirby has a fair amount of abilities at his disposal; able to walk, [[hover|fly]], and let out an [[Air Bullet]] or use a [[Dive Attack]] to defeat nearby opponents. Kirby can also use his signature [[inhale]] to dispose of enemies and objects, though he cannot fly while something is in his mouth. | ''Kirby's Dream Land'' is a two-dimensional platforming game set in the whimsical fantasy realm of Dream Land.

By inhaling an enemy or object, Kirby can either spit them back out as a [[Star Bullet]] to defeat other enemies and destroy obstacles, or Kirby can swallow the inhaled object to remove it from the equation.

However, when swallowing an enemy, Kirby does not gain any new ability, as his trademark [[Copy Ability]] would not be part of his toolkit until the next game: ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. ''Kirby's Dream Land'' also features a score, which increases by defeating enemies, or even just breaking [[Star Block]]s. Like many other video games, the score has no direct effect on the gameplay, nor is it saved in any sort of high-score table. | ||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | *In development, ''Kirby's Dream Land'' was originally called '''はるかぜポポポ''' (''Harukaze Popopo'', roughly "Popopo of the Spring Breeze"), and Kirby's original name was "Popopo". The title was later changed to '''ティンクル☆ポポ''' (''Tinkuru Popo'', "Twinkle☆Popo"), and finally to '''星のカービィ''' (''Hoshi no Kābī'', "Kirby of the Stars").<ref>{{Cite book|quote= 企画書の表紙(右)。『ティンクル☆ポポ』以前は『はるかぜポポポ』と呼ばれていた。これが『星のカービィ』の始まり。左ものは、ポポポ(カービィ)の操作仕様が書かれている部分。(The cover of the proposal (right). Before "Twinkle☆Popo", it was called "Popopo of the Spring Breeze". This is the origin of "Kirby of the Stars". On the left, design specs for Popopo (Kirby) are written out.)|book=[[20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia]]|publisher=HAL Laboratory|page=41}}</ref> The change from "Popopo" to "Kirby" was made late in development, enough that [[:File:Popopo.jpg|advertisements]] and preview material with the original name were produced. The original titles have been referenced multiple times in later games: | ||
**The original "Popopo of the Spring Breeze" title is referenced in the name of the [[Spring Breeze]] mode in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', which is a truncated remake of ''Kirby's Dream Land''. | |||
'' | **''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' takes place upon the [[Popopo Islands]], a reference to Kirby's original name. | ||
**Two songs in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' are named '''ティンクル☆スターズ''' (''Tinkuru Sutāzu'', "[[Twinkle☆Stars]]") and '''ティンクル☆トラベラー''' (''Tinkuru Toraberā'', "[[Twinkle☆Traveler]]"), referencing "Twinkle☆Popo". The Japanese name for the [[Star Allies Sparkler]], '''ティンクルスターアライズ''' (''Tinkuru Sutā Araizu'', "Twinkle Star Allies"), also references this name. | |||
* | *The international box art has a few oddities: most infamously, Kirby is colored white, despite being pink on the Japanese cover art. In addition, an unknown enemy that could be taken as [[Booler]] appears, if not for the nose, eyeballs and its worm-like appearance rather than a ghost-alike. Others include [[Gordo]] having a mouth and [[Bronto Burt]] having a nose. | ||
