''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. As such, ''Kirby's Dream Land'' is easy to complete, with only five levels and relatively easy boss fights interspersed, but a hidden [[Extra Mode|bonus version]] of the game lets players go through again against tougher enemies. | ''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.
