''Kirby's | '''''Kirby's Adventure''''' is a video game serving as the second title of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] and the first and only [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] game in the series. The game expands greatly on concepts developed in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', as it features a broader visual style (including col{{o}}r) and more extensive gameplay than its predecessor. The game marks the introduction of [[Kirby]]'s trademark [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] and introduces many characters which are now standard to the series, including enemies like [[Hot Head]], [[Sparky]], and [[UFO]], mid-bosses like [[Bonkers]], [[Mr. Frosty]], and [[Bugzzy]], and bosses like [[Paint Roller]], [[Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright]], and [[Meta Knight]]. This game was also the first to establish the notion of having levels broken up into distinct stages, finding [[Big Switch]]es to unlock extra content, playing [[Sub-Game]]s and [[Goal Game]]s, using a special weapon to fight the final boss, and having progress tracked toward [[100% completion]]. | ||

''Kirby's Adventure'' features a distinct col{{o}}r code regarding its main seven levels. The first letters of each level's name spell out "[[wikipedia:ROYGBIV|ROYGBIV]]" in reverse order when combined sequentially into a single word, which is the abbreviation of the rainbow's seven primary col{{o}}rs. Additionally, the opening cut-scenes for each level and their [[Warp Star Station]]s showcase the col{{o}}r of the respective letter: | |||
*[[Vegetable Valley]]: Violet | |||
*[[Ice Cream Island]]: Indigo | |||
*[[Butter Building]]: Blue | |||
*[[Grape Garden]]: Green | |||
*[[Yogurt Yard]]: Yellow | |||
*[[Orange Ocean]]: Orange | |||
*[[Rainbow Resort]]: Red | |||
Several later titles in the series also spell out a specific word with their levels' first letters, though these seldom have anything to do with col{{o}}r. | |||

==Legacy== | |||
''Kirby's Adventure'' has had a vast influence on the rest of the series, having defined many of its standards which persist even to the latest main-series titles. The following lists some of the more major influences: | |||
*[[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] debuted in this title; an aspect of Kirby which would become iconic to his character and would be the main focus of several subsequent games. | |||
*[[Meta Knight]] was introduced in this game, and he would later become one of the most iconic characters in the series. | |||
*Many other important characters and enemies were introduced in this game, with some of the more noteworthy ones including the following: | |||
**[[Nightmare]] | |||
**[[Paint Roller]] | |||
**[[Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright]] | |||
**[[Bonkers]] | |||
**[[Bugzzy]] | |||
**[[Mr. Frosty]] | |||
**The [[Meta-Knights]] | |||
**[[Blade Knight]] & [[Sword Knight]] | |||
**[[Chilly]] | |||
**[[Hot Head]] | |||
**[[Noddy]] | |||
**[[Rocky]] | |||
**[[Sparky]] | |||
**[[UFO]] | |||
**[[Wheelie]] | |||
*[[King Dedede]]'s ability to [[Hover]] can be traced back to this game. | |||
*[[Sub-Game]]s and [[Goal Game]]s were introduced in this title, which would persist as a concept in every subsequent main-series game, along with several of the spin-offs. This also marks the first appearance of an unlockable [[Boss Endurance]] mode. | |||
*''Kirby's Adventure'' was the first game to split its levels into distinct stages with a hub area to visit them sequentially, as well as optional side content to unlock using [[Big Switch]]es. This formula would persist in various forms throughout the remainder of the main series and in several spin-offs. | |||
*''Kirby's Adventure'' introduced the concept of having a separate final level which consists only of the fight with the final boss using a special weapon not seen elsewhere in the game. Most subsequent main-series games would use this idea in various forms. Additionally, this fight established the idea of fighting the final boss in more than one phase or form. | |||
*''Kirby's Adventure'' marks the first appearance of the [[Star Rod]] and the [[Fountain of Dreams]]; both of which are important subjects within the series at large. | |||
*This title was the first to feature a "twist" near the end of the story, where Kirby defeats the supposed main villain only to realize that the real villain was waiting somewhere beyond. Many subsequent games would feature similar twists in their stories. | |||
*''Kirby's Adventure'' was the first game to use the concept of [[100% completion]]; the progress of which is shown to the player on his/her save file. | |||
*Many musical themes from this game would be reused and modified in subsequent titles. | |||
*Lastly, the game ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' is a remake of ''Kirby's Adventure''. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The "How to draw Kirby" opening song originated from the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAGDHpNiyZU Japanese commercial for ''Kirby's Dream Land''.] | |||
*[[Vegetable Valley - Stage 2]] introduced the first [[HAL Room]] in the series. | |||
*In the English manual of ''Kirby's Adventure'', the last panel of "A CRISIS IN THE DREAM LAND!" the prologue depicts Kirby without his sack unlike the game's actual prologue or the Japanese manual. (See [[Kirby's Adventure#External links]] for the manuals.) | |||
*Several unused elements were in the game rom, including: | |||
**Sprites of the [[Mini]] ability, which was intended to be a playable [[Copy Ability]], but didn't make its debut until ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]. | |||
**Music 10 in the [[Sound Test]] is a remix of "[[Welcome to Dream Land]]", the title theme of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. This remix is never used in actual gameplay. | |||
**The [[Cannon]] icon for the dashboard does not display in the original game (except the French version), except during the [[Mix|Ability Mix]] and in the 3D Classics version. | |||
