Grape Garden - Stage 4 is the fourth stage of Grape Garden, the fourth level of Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.
Overview
The stage takes place in five major areas. The first has Kirby walking along a straightforward path past a multitude of enemies.
The next area has Kirby bounding between platforms over a wide pit.
From there, Kirby finds himself on a long series of alternating slopes leading downward. Kirby can use the Wheel ability here to race a Bomb Block trigger and hopefully reach the bottom before it does to net a 1-Up.
The next room is a cave containing a few trapped enemies. To the right is a pit containing a Phan Phan (or Rolling Turtle in Adventure). Defeating and swallowing it yields the Throw ability.
The last room is a tunnel which can serve as a practice area for the Throw ability. The stage exit lays at the end of this path.
Differences between versions
While graphical changes and re-interpretations are common between the two versions of the game, the change is particularly notable in this stage. The first area is depicted as a flat artificial construct with lots of turbines in the background in Kirby's Adventure, while in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, it instead resembles a more natural forest landscape with a variable floor. The second area likewise features a more abstract layout in the older title, while in the newer one, it is a continuation of the forest theme. In addition, the choice of music for this stage also differs between versions, with Kirby's Adventure using the main 'Grape Garden' theme and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land using the 'Forest' theme.
