Minor fixes, removing details that are most likely already on their respective pages and adding a point that's well-known among certain crowds but surprisingly isn't on this very wiki at the moment (to my knowledge). Not sure internally which is which, though...

'''Spring Breeze''' is the first main game in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]]. It is essentially a simplified remake of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', with [[#Differences from Kirby's Dream Land|some differences]] to compensate for this. It is the first main game to be playable, and is designed to introduce new players to the game. For example, the first level starts out with a tall cliff that can't be passed with a simple jump. [[Kirby]] needs to fly over it, teaching the player how to use the [[Hover]] technique.

It is the first main game to be playable, and is designed to introduce new players to the game.


The first two [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] Kirby can get are [[Beam]] and [[Cutter]], two of the most basic and common abilities throughout the series. Spring Breeze has four stages, each with a boss at the end.
In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', the newly added main game [[Revenge of the King]] follows the layout of Spring Breeze and has increased difficulty based on the [[Extra Game]] of ''Kirby's Dream Land''.

In the original ''Kirby Super Star'', Spring Breeze is completely optional; everything up to and including [[The Arena]] can be unlocked without playing it. This was changed in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', which requires the first stage of Spring Breeze to be cleared in order to unlock [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]], [[Gourmet Race]] and [[The Great Cave Offensive]].

*[[Castle Lololo]] has been mostly removed, although parts of it were merged with Float Islands. Lololo and Lalala are bosses of the stage. The original boss, [[Kabula|Kaboola]], was removed entirely.

*In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', playing Spring Breeze for the first time results in bosses either having half as much health or sustaining twice as much damage from player attacks than on repeat playthroughs and all the other game modes.
*The title of Spring Breeze is based off the ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' manual, which states that "Kirby is a youth who comes with the spring breeze". This was confirmed in an interview with [[Masahiro Sakurai]].<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic/interview-kirby/ ''Kirby Super Star'' Developer Interview - SNES Classic Edition]</ref> This, in turn, is a reference to the original working title for ''Kirby's Dream Land'', "Popopo of the Spring Breeze" (はるかぜポポポ).

*Notably, the title theme - [[Welcome to Dream Land]] - is present on the title screen in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', but not in the original ''Kirby Super Star'', which has a silent title screen instead.

*According to Masahiro Sakurai in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkeETXCSn5M the "Kirby Super Star" video on his YouTube channel], he had originally wanted Copy Abilities to be unavailable in Spring Breeze, much like the original ''Kirby's Dream Land'', but was urged to add them in by one of Nintendo's producers. To this day, he wishes he could have left them out, as he feels with the abilities in, there is little distinguishing Spring Breeze from [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]]; in the same video, he recommended that players attempt Spring Breeze without using Copy Abilities as an added challenge.
