In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', the series' first HAL Room can be found in [[Vegetable Valley - Stage 2]]. When the [[Warp Star]] is reached, Kirby has to walk past it, run up against the right end of the screen for a little while, then [[Flying|fly]] back for a moment. Once the Warp Star platform is out of view, Kirby then needs to go back toward it. If done correctly, the star will be gone, and Kirby will be able to proceed further right to reach the formation of [[Star Block]]s that spell out 'HAL'. Once Kirby returns to the left, the Warp Star will be there again. | In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', the series' first HAL Room can be found in [[Vegetable Valley - Stage 2]].

The HAL Room is retained in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. However, while it is still present in the stage data, it is not actually accessible; the game loads objects in a different manner, so it is no longer possible to make the Warp Star disappear. | The HAL Room is retained in ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.
