Template:Articleabout Kirby's Adventure is the second title of the Kirby series and the first and only Nintendo Entertainment System game in the series. Kirby's Adventure features a greater visual style and a more extensive gameplay than Kirby's Dream Land. The game marks the introduction of Kirby's trademark Copy Abilities.
A remake of the game, known as Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002.
A demo of Kirby's Adventure later appeared as one of the Masterpieces in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The original game was ported as a Virtual Console game for Wii and Wii U, a 3D Classic on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, and a playable game for NES Classic Edition and the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Story
Kirby wakes up from a nap, realiTemplate:Zing he has not had a pleasant dream all night. He heads to the Fountain of Dreams to figure what went wrong. Once there, he finds out that King Dedede has stolen the Star Rod, the source of the Fountain of Dreams' power. Dedede has broken the Rod into seven pieces, giving one to each of his six assistants, and keeping the seventh for himself (his assistants being the six world bosses plus himself). Kirby adventures through Dream Land to retrieve the seven Star Rod pieces and return it to the Fountain of Dreams.
After Kirby retrieves all seven Star Rod pieces and unites them, he tosses the Star Rod into the Fountain of Dreams. Suddenly, a mysterious being named Nightmare emerges from the fountain and flies into the starry space, shrouding Dream Land in darkness. King Dedede evidently had known that Nightmare infected the Fountain of Dreams, and had hidden the Star Rod with good intentions. The King then launches Kirby in the sky, ready to defeat Nightmare with the completed Star Rod. Once he is defeated, good dreams return to the people of Dream Land.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Kirby's Adventure builds upon the concepts introduced in Kirby's Dream Land. As well as being able to Hover, Inhale and swallow enemies, and use the Air Bullet, this title sees the debut of Kirby's Copy Ability. When Kirby inhales certain enemy types that have particular abilities, and swallows them, Kirby will gain the use of that ability himself. However, if he takes damage, he will lose the ability, and will quickly need to swallow the Ability Star that appears to regain it before the star shatters or is otherwise lost.
In addition, this title introduces Kirby's ability to Dash, Slide, Dive Attack, and use the Water Gun.
Levels
There are eight levels in Kirby's Adventure. Excepting the first, each level is accessed by defeating the Boss of the prior level. Level stages are visited sequentially, with other doors leading to bonus areas such as Museums, Arenas, Sub-Games and other utility rooms.
The following table lists each level in Kirby's Adventure. The stage count also includes boss stages:
Level | Stage count | Boss | Details |
---|---|---|---|
Vegetable Valley | 5 | Whispy Woods | No Big Switches are present in this level. |
Ice Cream Island | 6 | Paint Roller | No Big Switches are present in this level. |
Butter Building | 7 | Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright | |
Grape Garden | 7 | Kracko Jr. & Kracko | |
Yogurt Yard | 7 | Heavy Mole | |
Orange Ocean | 7 | Meta Knight | Every regular stage has a Big Switch. |
Rainbow Resort | 7 | King Dedede | |
The Fountain of Dreams | 1 | Nightmare | This level has no hub, instead being accessed by defeating King Dedede. It consists only of the final boss fight with Nightmare. |
Enemies
Normal enemies
These enemies provide nothing if Kirby swallows them. Most enemies can be defeated upon contact with water, but some can survive in water (and may be more suited to it).
Sprite | Name | Aquatic | Description |
---|---|---|---|
File:Adventure Blipper.png | Blipper | Blippers are common underwater enemies. They may swim freely or pursue Kirby. They can also jump out the water. If they are on land, they flop. | |
File:Adventure Bounder.png | Bounder | Bounders, are usually seen clinging on walls, but they can be on the ground as well. They can climb walls and drop stars that can hurt Kirby. | |
File:BrontoBurt KA.png | Bronto Burt | Bronto Burts are flying enemies. They can fly in a wave-like motion or attempt to fly into Kirby. Sometimes, they appear by flying into the screen and performing a few loops. | |
File:Adventure BroomHatter.png | Broom Hatter | Broom Hatters move by sweeping the ground, making swaying motions. Their motion can periodically change between fast and slow due to their sweeping motions. | |
File:Adventure Cappy.png | Cappy | Cappys move slowly from left to right. If Kirby attempts to inhale one, Kirby swallows the Cappy's mushroom cap, revealing the Cappy's face, but not defeating the Cappy. If Kirby uses any other attack, however, Cappys can be defeated in one blow. | |
File:Adventure Coconut.png | Coconut | Coconuts are stationary objects situated on palm trees. If Kirby gets too close, they may fall and explode. The Mid-Boss Bonkers uses Coconuts as projectiles. | |
File:Adventure Coner.png | Coner | Coners are enemies found both in land and underwater. They make scuttling movements on land, but they sink when they are underwater. If they tuck inside their shell, Kirby cannot inhale them. | |
File:Adventure Glunk.png | Glunk | Glunks are stationary enemies found usually underwater. Glunks periodically shoot three air projectiles up to hit Kirby. | |
File:Adventure Gordo.png | Gordo | Gordos are indestructible enemies. They are found usually stationary or moving in a straight line. | |
File:Adventure Kabu.png | Kabu | Kabus are constantly spinning. They can be stationary or moving rapidly across the ground. Some can hover while others can teleport. Usually after they teleport, however, they may self-destruct. | |
File:Adventure PoppyBrosJr.png | Poppy Bros. Jr. | Poppy Bros. Jr. can be found moving slowly. They can also be seen strolling on apples and Maxim Tomatoes. If Kirby attempts to inhale them, they leave behind the fruit. If they leave behind the Maxim Tomato, the Maxim Tomato can be taken. If Kirby uses any other attack, the fruit is destroyed and Kirby must attack the Poppy Bros. Jr. to defeat it. | |
File:Adventure Scarfy.png | Scarfy | If Kirby attempts to inhale these hovering enemies, Scarfys transform into monster-like forms and attempt to pursue Kirby. If they run into Kirby or Kirby's attacks, they explode. Once transformed, Scarfys explode after a few seconds if they do not catch Kirby first. | |
File:Adventure Shotzo.png | Shotzo | Shotzos are stationary indestructible enemies that shoot cannon balls. They can aim at Kirby, shooting one cannon ball at a time, or aim in one direction, shooting multiple cannon balls periodically. | |
File:Adventure SirSlippy.png | Slippy | This enemy can be found both land and underwater. In the land, it hops around, attempting to hit Kirby. Underwater, it swims in a bobbing motion. | |
File:Adventure Squishy.png | Squishy | These enemies can be found in both land and underwater. In the land, they move slowly. In the water, they move up after sinking. They can also jump out the water. | |
File:Adventure Twizzy.png | Twizzy | These enemies act similarly to Bronto Burts. They fly in wave-like motions or pursue Kirby. | |
File:Adventure WaddleDee.png | Waddle Dee | Waddle Dees are the basic enemies of the Kirby games. They simply walk, but sometimes, they can run and jump. Waddle Dees can either turn around at a ledge or walk off it. |
With a Copy Ability
These enemies provide Kirby with a Copy Ability if he swallows them. Unlike normal enemies, these enemies can appear in different colTemplate:Ors. None of these enemies can survive in water.
Sprite | Name | Copy Ability | Description |
---|---|---|---|
File:Adventure BladeKnight.png | Blade Knight | Sword | Blade Knights move back and forth. They can do a single or double slash at Kirby. |
File:Adventure Bomber.png | Bomber | Crash | These enemies usually move slowly. If they fall off a ledge and land, they can create a large blast radius that can hurt Kirby. |
File:Adventure Bubbles.png | Bubbles | Ball | This enemy move primarily by bouncing off walls. |
File:Adventure Chilly.png | Chilly | Freeze | Chillys are mostly stationary enemies. If Kirby gets close, they may use a freezing attack on him. |
File:Adventure CoolSpook.png | Cool Spook | Light | Cool Spooks are relatively rare enemies that appear usually in dark rooms. The only action they do is hovering and glowing. |
File:Adventure Flamer.png | Flamer | Fireball | These enemies move along a wall. If Kirby gets close, they jump and go on fire. Soon, they may charge, engulfed in flames, into Kirby. |
File:Adventure HotHead.png | Hot Head | Fire | Hot Heads can attack Kirby by breathing flying fire balls or breathing a stream of fire. |
File:Adventure LaserBall.png | Laser Ball | Laser | Laser Balls are floating enemies. When they spot Kirby, they can shoot one or several laser beams. After that, they retreat. |
File:Adventure Noddy.png | Noddy | Sleep | These enemies normally walk, but they may sleep, making them stationary. |
File:Adventure Parasol.png | Parasol | Parasol | This enemy is often attached to Waddle Dees or Waddle Doos. If detached, they may fly away or home on Kirby. |
File:Adventure ParasolDee.png | Parasol Waddle Dee | Parasol | This is a Waddle Dee with a parasol. If Kirby destroys the parasol, it becomes a regular Waddle Dee. |
File:Adventure ParasolDoo.png | Parasol Waddle Doo | Parasol | Waddle Doos equipped with a parasol act in a similar manner to Parasol Waddle Dees. If the parasol is destroyed, it becomes a regular Waddle Doo. |
File:Adventure Pengi.png | Pengy | Ice | Pengys move by sliding. They attack by emitting an ice breath, similar to how Hot Heads breathe a stream of fire. |
File:Adventure Rocky.png | Rocky | Stone | These slow-moving enemies attack primarily by leaping and slamming down into Kirby. If they are midair, they can fall quickly. |
File:Adventure SirKibble.png | Sir Kibble | Cutter | These enemies throw blades at Kirby. They can attack Kirby if they are facing away from him by jumping over their blades. |
File:Adventure Sparky.png | Sparky | Spark | Sparkys move by hopping. If Kirby gets close, Sparkys create an electrical force field that can harm Kirby if Kirby gets too close. |
File:Adventure Starman.png | Starman | Hi-Jump | These enemies can walk, but they can also perform jumps. They can also be found flying. |

File:Adventure Twister.png | Twister | Tornado | Twisters are stationary enemies. If Kirby is close, though, they can attack by spinning and transforming into a nearly-invincible tornado. |
File:Adventure UFO.png | UFO | U.F.O. | UFOs are rare flying enemies. They can fly erratically, ramming into Kirby, or they can shoot a few laser beams at him. If Kirby leaves them alone long enough, they may fly away. |
File:Adventure WaddleDoo.png | Waddle Doo | Beam | Waddle Doos can walk and jump. They can emit a beam, but they must stop and charge first. |
File:Adventure Wheelie.png | Wheelie | Wheel | Wheelies are fast-moving enemies. If they crash into a wall, they bounce up. |
Meta-Knights
Meta-Knights are different from normal enemies. They appear in groups at Meta Knight's command and ambush Kirby in designated areas. Unlike normal enemies, they can take more than one hit to defeat. If one is defeated, part of a total health bar is depleted and another Meta-Knight is spawned. Meta-Knights do not give any copy abilities when swallowed.
Name | Appearance | Description |
---|---|---|
Axe Knight | File:Adv Axe Knight Sprite.png | This skull-headed foe can attack either by swiping its axe forward or by tossing it like a Cutter. |
Javelin Knight | File:Adv Javelin Knight Sprite.png | This robot-like enemy sweeps the arena, and can either toss its javelin or spin it around itself. This is the only one of the knights that can jump. |
Mace Knight | File:Adv Mace Knight Sprite.png | This burly knight wields a giant flail that it can spin around its head or toss forward a good distance. |
Trident Knight | File:Adv Trident Knight Sprite.png | This crescent-tipped knight wields a trident that it can toss in an arc, zapping Kirby if it connects. |
Mid-Bosses
These enemies appear at various points in stages and can also be fought repeatedly in arenas. They cannot be inhaled for an ability until their stamina is depleted and they are knocked down. They are also immune to Air Bullets and Slide attacks. Like standard enemies, these guys can appear in different colTemplate:Ors.
Name | Appearance | Copy Ability | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Bonkers | File:Adv Bonkers Sprite.png | Hammer | This armTemplate:Ored simian attacks Kirby by swinging his giant hammer, which resembles Dedede's hammer. He can also toss Coconuts for added spiciness. |
Bugzzy | File:Adv Bugzzy Sprite.png | Backdrop | A large bipedal beetle that can grab Kirby and slam him into the ground. He sends out smaller bugs at Kirby which can be inhaled. |
Fire Lion | File:Adv Fire Lion Sprite.png | Fireball | This sleek cat can attack Kirby by pouncing or by using a fireball tackle. If Kirby is grabbed, he will be held in place and scratched before being released. |
Grand Wheelie | File:Adv Grand Wheelie Sprite.png | Wheel | A big version of Wheelie that rolls around and shoots small Wheelies. |
Mr. Frosty | File:Adv Frosty Sprite.png | Freeze | A bipedal walrus that wears overalls. He throws blocks of ice and tackles. |
Mr. Tick-Tock | File:Adv Tick Tock Sprite.png | Mike | A walking alarm clock that uses musical notes and sound waves to attack. |
Poppy Bros. Sr. | File:Adv Poppy Bros. Sr. Sprite.png | Crash | A large version of Poppy Bros. Jr. that hops around and throws bombs. |
Rolling Turtle | File:Adv Rolling Turtle Sprite.png | Throw | A bipedal round turtle with buck teeth that rolls about and tries to grab Kirby. It occasionally tosses out shells. |
Bosses
These enemies are fought at the end of levels in their own special stages. They are all considerably more durable than standard enemies and mid-bosses, and take several hits to defeat. Some can only be harmed by striking specific weak points. Defeating these bosses clears the levels they appear in.
Name | Appearance | Level | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Whispy Woods | File:Adv Whispy Woods Sprite.png | Vegetable Valley | This sentient tree attacks by dropping Apples and shooting Air Bullets from his mouth. He cannot move, making him very weak against most Copy Abilities. |
Paint Roller | File:Paint Roller KA sprite.png | Ice Cream Island | This rotund fellow skates around the arena on roller skates between four different canvases and paints objects that come to life and attack Kirby. These objects can be inhaled and spat back to defeat this boss. |
Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright | File:Adv Shine Sprite.png File:Adv Bright Sprite.png | Butter Building | This tag-team duo of Sun and Moon take turns attacking Kirby, with only the one on the ground being vulnerable. Kirby can use the attacks of the one in the sky to attack the one on the ground. Each has their own separate stamina, and defeating one prevents that one from touching down, but he can still attack from the sky until the other is defeated. |
Kracko Jr. | File:Adv Kracko Jr Sprite.png | Grape Garden | The initial form of Kracko. Cannot be harmed, so Kirby instead has to avoid him while climbing up a series of cloud platforms. |
Kracko | File:Adv Kracko Sprite.png | Grape Garden | Once at the top of the arena, Kracko Jr. transforms into Kracko proper, and can be attacked as normal. He attempts to strike Kirby with lightning and beam whips, and will occasionally drop a Starman which can be used against him. |
Heavy Mole | File:Adv Heavy Mole Sprite.png | Yogurt Yard | This robotic contraption continually moves away from Kirby, digging a tunnel while it goes. It can hurt Kirby using its digger arms, but mainly attacks by shooting out Dygclops from behind. These cycloptic missiles can be used as ammunition or can grant Copy Abilities, but the red one will put Kirby to Sleep if he swallows it. |
Meta Knight | File:Adv Meta Knight Sprite.png | Orange Ocean | This honTemplate:Orable warrior provides Kirby with a Sword, which he must equip before they may fight, and cannot drop during the fight. Meta Knight attacks with various jumps and sword moves, including his famous Down Thrust from the air. He cannot be harmed unless he drops his guard or is hit from behind. Defeating him causes his mask to break, and he is forced to flee out of shame. |
King Dedede | File:Adv King Dedede Sprite.png | Rainbow Resort | Kirby's eternal rival faces down with his eternal rival at the Fountain of Dreams. He fights much like he did in Kirby's Dream Land, with head slides, hammer swipes, inhales, and his famous Super Dedede Jump. He has one new ability, allowing him to puff up and hover like Kirby, which he apparently taught himself to do after his first defeat. |
Nightmare's Power Orb | File:Adv Nightmare Orb Sprite.png | The Fountain of Dreams | This orb fires volleys of stars and shockwaves continually at Kirby, and will also attempt to charge. Kirby must fight back using the Star Rod, but if he takes too long, he will crash into the ground and lose. |
Nightmare | File:KA Nightmare.png | The Fountain of Dreams | Nightmare's true form can only be harmed by strikes to his vulnerable chest beneath his cape. He will do his best to hide this weakness as he teleports around the stage and weaves in and out, firing projectiles at Kirby whenever he can. |
Abilities
Introduced in this title are 24 different Copy Abilities, as well as an additional special ability at the end of the game. Kirby can inhale certain foes to get these abilities, making him extremely versatile. If Kirby swallows two or more ability-yielding enemies at the same time, he can get a Mix, which will start a roulette and give him any one of the standard abilities:
