'''''Kirby's Dream Land''''' is a platforming video game released on the [[Game Boy]] and the first installment of the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series. ''Kirby's Dream Land'' was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]], published by [[Nintendo]], and designed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. With over 5.13 million copies sold worldwide since its release, it was the series' best-selling game for three decades, only being surpassed by ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' in 2022.{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|Kirby's Dream Land|<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4418/iwata_and_miyamoto_business_.php?page=3|title= Iwata and Miyamoto: Business Ascetics - An Excerpt from Nintendo Magic|site= Gamasutra}}</ref>}} It was also later released as a Player's Choice title. In 2011, ''Kirby's Dream Land'' was released as one of the launch titles on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]]. In 2012, ''Kirby's Dream Land'' was included as one of the playable games in the [[Wii]] compilation title, ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]''. In 2023, ''Kirby's Dream Land'' was included on the [[Nintendo Switch]] Online [[Game Boy]] channel.

''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 stages and relatively easy boss fights interspersed, but a hidden [[Extra Mode|bonus version]] of the game lets players go through again against tougher enemies.

==Story==
{{Quote|On a tiny star somewhere far, far away from earth{{sic}}, there is a very special place known as Dream Land. The Dream Landers are very happy people who use their magical Sparkling Stars to play and work among the heavens. That is until one dark night when the gluttonous King Dedede and his rotten band of thieves swooped down from neighboring Mt. Dedede for a midnight snack in Dream Land.|''Kirby's Dream Land'' Instruction Booklet (North American print), page 3}}
''Kirby's Dream Land'' takes place in [[Dream Land]], where all the people live happy lives. One day, a band of thieves, led by [[King Dedede]], swoops down from [[Mt. Dedede]] and steals all the food from the land, as well as the [[Sparkling Star]]s from the sky. [[Kirby]], an outsider who recently came to Dream Land,<ref>{{cite book|quote=みんなどうしようかなとなやんでいる時、 ひとりの若者がプププランドにやってきました。<br>

Kirby travels through five areas of Dream Land to reach King Dedede. At the end of each land, Kirby must do battle with one of King Dedede's top goons, in the form of a [[Boss]], who will drop one [[Sparkling Star]] upon defeat. After defeating Dedede and collecting the last of these stars, Kirby uses them to inflate into a giant hot air balloon, and carry Dedede's castle all across the land, showering the stolen food back onto the kingdom. That done, Kirby returns to normal size and lands on a podium, to be cheered by the denizens of Dream Land.

==Gameplay==
[[File:KDL gameplay.png|thumb|Gameplay showing Kirby flying through the first stage, Green Greens.]]
''Kirby's Dream Land'' is a two-dimensional platforming game set in the whimsical fantasy realm of Dream Land. The player controls Kirby and must successfully complete each stage by getting this spry round fellow to the end - avoiding attacks from enemies before losing all of his [[Health|vitality points]] to them - and defeating the [[boss]] at the end of each stage. To accomplish this, Kirby has a fair amount of abilities at his disposal; able to walk, [[hover|fly]], and let out an [[Air Bullet]] or use a [[Dive Attack]] to defeat nearby opponents. Kirby can also use his signature [[inhale]] to dispose of enemies and objects, though he cannot fly while something is in his mouth.

By inhaling an enemy or object, Kirby can either spit them back out as a [[Star Bullet]] to defeat other enemies and destroy obstacles, or Kirby can swallow the inhaled object to remove it from the equation. However, when swallowing an enemy, Kirby does not gain any new ability, as his trademark [[Copy Ability]] would not be part of his toolkit until the next game: ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. ''Kirby's Dream Land'' also features a score, which increases by defeating enemies, or even just breaking [[Star Block]]s. Like many other video games, the score has no direct effect on the gameplay, nor is it saved in any sort of high-score table.

===Controls===
*Left/Right: Move Kirby
*Down: [[Duck|Crouch]] / swallow an inhaled object
*Up: Kirby puffs up (hold to [[Hover]])
*A - [[Jump]]
*B - [[Inhale]] then spit enemies and/or objects / let out an [[Air Bullet]] while floating
*START - pause the game

The player can reset the game by pressing A, B, START, and SELECT at the same time.

!Stage
!class=unsortable|Description
|-
![[File:KDL Green Greens screenshot.png]]<br>[[Green Greens]]
|The first location [[Kirby]] visits is Green Greens; an area brimming with temperate grasslands and woodlands and filled with flowers and butterflies. Kirby makes his way through the stage, defeating a handful of basic enemies along the way until he reaches a [[Warp Star]] which takes him to the [[Mid-Boss]], [[Poppy Bros. Sr.]] who wants to turn Kirby into a roasted marshmallow by bombarding him with bombs. After defeating Poppy Bros. Sr., Kirby continues traveling through the stage - passing up through a hollow tree trunk in the process - to reach the [[Boss]] of Green Greens: [[Whispy Woods]]. After defeating Whispy Woods, Kirby travels to the next area.
|-
![[File:KDL Castle Lololo screenshot.png]]<br>[[Castle Lololo]]
|Castle Lololo is the second location that [[Kirby]] visits, which features many tight corridors, mysterious and hostile creatures, and alternate ways to travel through its catacombs. Kirby ventures through the castle, going through several paths until he comes to a room that contains the Mid-Boss [[Lololo]], who shoves boxes at Kirby. After Kirby spits these boxes back at him three times, he retreats further into the castle, allowing Kirby to continue. After another short traversal, Kirby arrives at the level's boss: the duo foes [[Lololo & Lalala]]. They will both follow the same attack pattern as Lololo did in his first battle. After defeating them, Kirby moves on to the next area.
|-
![[File:KDL Float Islands screenshot.png]]<br>[[Float Islands]]
|The Float Islands is the third location [[Kirby]] visits, defined by its tropical seaside climate and its shallow caves. He travels through the islands, avoiding [[coconut]]s and dealing with the elusive [[Kabu]] that try to hamper his progress while squeezing through caves lined with [[spike]]s and [[Gordo]]s, then walking along wooden ships and hitching a ride on a Warp Star up to the clouds to reach the boss [[Kabula|Kaboola]]. After defeating Kaboola, Kirby heads to the fourth area and his penultimate challenge.
|-
![[File:KDL Bubbly Clouds screenshot.png]]<br>[[Bubbly Clouds]]
|The Bubbly Clouds is the fourth and penultimate region that Kirby visits, being set in a lofty sky palace built into the clouds themselves. He travels through the clouds, battling all the myriad enemies that choke the airways until he reaches the mid-boss, [[Kracko Jr.]]. This diminutive cycloptic creature flies around, shooting at Kirby and dropping [[Waddle Doo]]s for the entire battle. Eventually, Kirby defeats him and continues along until he reaches the boss battle. Kracko Jr.'s mature form - [[Kracko]] - serves as the boss of this stage and follows mostly the same strategy as his previous form but is a bit stronger and has the ability to shoot out energy beams and lightning. After defeating Kracko, Kirby moves on to the final area.
|-
![[File:KDL Mt Dedede screenshot.png]]<br>[[Mt. Dedede]]
|Mt. Dedede is the final location [[Kirby]] visits. To get to [[King Dedede]]'s wrestling ring, Kirby must open up the path by going through four doors in the castle lobby. Each door leads to a representation of one of the previous four areas of Dream Land, where Kirby must complete a short section and defeat the boss of each area once again. When all the bosses are defeated, Kirby can jump through a portrait of Dedede and face him in a final battle. When King Dedede is defeated, [[Kirby]] returns the food to the people of Dream Land along with the Sparkling Stars.

==Items==
There are items that assist Kirby during his adventure. Some of these items enhance Kirby's attacks, allowing Kirby to destroy enemies, while others act as recovery items. In some cases, an item is required to defeat a boss or continue through a stage.

==Antagonists==
===Enemies===
Different types of enemies are encountered throughout the game, all of which will harm [[Kirby]] if he touches them. Most adversaries can be defeated by spitting something at them, which adds a set amount of point to Kirby's score. Alternatively, many may also be inhaled and swallowed, or used as ammunition; however, doing so only awards Kirby half the amount of points. Most enemies respawn once their starting position is scrolled off the screen. Notably - unlike with subsequent games - enemies in ''Kirby's Dream Land'' do not have preset movement patterns or terrain interactions, instead having their movement and behavior manually and individually specified.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUY2AtBD6Sk&t=496 "Secrets of Enemy Movement" section of the video "Development Secrets of the Original Kirby <nowiki>[Grab Bag]</nowiki>" on Masahiro Sakurai's YouTube channel]</ref> As such, specific enemies such as [[Waddle Dee]]s tend to vary in their movement.

In the [[Extra Game]], many opponents are replaced by faster or stronger ones. The columns "Normal Game" and "Extra Game" in the following table indicate whether or not an enemy appears in that game mode; if it is absent from a mode, its replacement is listed.

===Mid-Bosses===
In [[Green Greens]], [[Castle Lololo]], and [[Bubbly Clouds]], [[Kirby]] encounters a [[Mid-Boss]] which must be defeated in order to move on. All Mid-Bosses have three points of health; their current health is displayed in place of Kirby's score during the fight. Unlike regular enemies, none of them are replaced in the [[Extra Game]]; instead, the battles with them become more difficult.

|This larger version of [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] jumps around while tossing bombs at Kirby, which are worth 20 points and have to be inhaled and spat back. Sometimes, it briefly increases the distance of its jumps.

In the Extra Game, it throws bombs at a faster rate and may charge at Kirby.

|Lololo appears from one of four doors at the right side of the screen, pushing chests that are worth 400 points across platforms and kicking them at Kirby. He can be defeated by inhaling the boxes and spitting them back.

In the Extra Game, he walks faster and may bring out [[Gordo]]s.

===Bosses===
[[Boss]]es are strong opponents faced at the end of every stage. Like [[Mid-Boss]]es, they possess a health meter that replaces the score display during the battle and become stronger in the [[Extra Game]]. In the [[Mt. Dedede]] stage, all of the bosses previously encountered in the game must be defeated a second time to enable Kirby to fight [[King Dedede]].

|This large tree does not move, but blows puffs of air at Kirby as well as dropping apples from his leaves, which are worth 400 points and can be spat back at him. Unlike in a handful of later games featuring the boss, getting close to Whispy does not harm Kirby.

In the Extra Game, Whispy Woods drops [[Gordo]]s in addition to apples, which bounce along the ground until moving off the screen.

|Lololo & Lalala appear from one of the four doors at each side of the boss room, pushing boxes, which are worth 400 points, across one of the four ledges and disappearing into the door at the opposite side. To defeat them, Kirby must inhale their boxes and spit them back. Each of the two can be defeated separately. If one is defeated while pushing a box, the box will still move as if the boss was still there.

The duo walks faster in the Extra Game.

She attacks Kirby from the right side of the screen by launching cannonballs from the cannon attached to her, alternating between firing a single one, three in consecution or three at the same time, two of which fly diagonally. She may also charge forward in an attempt to ram Kirby.

She moves faster and shoots more rapidly in the Extra Game.

|An adult form of [[Kracko Jr.]], this spiky cloud floats through the room or swoops at Kirby, stopping at the sides of the area to fire beams all around itself and create [[Waddle Doo]]s. The latter has to be inhaled and spat back at it to beat it.

Its attack pattern changes drastically in the Extra Game; here, it can either charge along the ground, fire beams from the center of the screen, or move along the top, dropping bombs that are worth 20 points and can be spat back.

|As the game's final boss, King Dedede possesses a wider range of attacks than the bosses fought prior to him. He may attempt to pounce on Kirby, hit him with his hammer or inhale him, spitting him out again to cause damage. He is also able to jump into the air, harming Kirby if he lands on him. Both his jumping and hammer attacks generate stars, which Kirby has to use as ammunition to defeat him. When Kirby is above him, Dedede is furthermore able to jump straight into the air and swing his hammer; this attack does not make any stars appear.

In the Extra Game, he moves faster, as well as jumping further and more often.

''Kirby's Dream Land'' features other game modes that allow for a change in the game's difficulty.

===Extra Game===
[[Extra Mode|Extra Game]] is a mode in which all enemies become more challenging. For example, [[Waddle Dee]]s move faster, and gain the ability to jump. In addition, normal enemies usually deal double damage. Some enemies are replaced with new, more aggressive enemies. This mode can be enabled at any time by pressing Up, Select, and A while on the title screen, though the code isn't revealed until clearing the main game once.

===Configuration Mode===
If the player holds down the buttons B + Down + Select on the title screen, the Configuration Menu opens, where Kirby's total HP (between one and six) or amount of lives he can carry (between one and nine) can be adjusted. This allows for adjustments to the game's difficulty, making it possible, for instance, to play a game where only one hit results in a [[Game Over]]. The [[Jukebox|Sound Test]] is also accessible from this menu. The code is revealed after clearing the Extra Game and can be entered at any time on the title screen before or after the fact.

==Development==
{{Main|Kirby's Dream Land/development}}

==References to other games==
*''Adventures of Lolo'' - The bosses Lololo and Lalala are inspired by Lolo and Lala from the ''Adventures of Lolo'' series, which was also created by HAL Laboratory, Inc.
*''Super Mario Bros.'' - In [[Castle Lololo]], several blocks with question marks appear, though they cannot be interacted with in the same way.

==References in later games==
Most subsequent ''Kirby'' games utilize the music and motifs established in this title, most notably the [[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens theme]] and [[King Dedede's Theme]]. The following are more specific references that have been made by later ''Kirby'' games:

===''Kirby's Adventure'' / ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KNiDL Rainbow Resort Stage 6 2.png|thumb|Stage 6 of Rainbow Resort is based on ''Kirby's Dream Land'']]
[[Rainbow Resort - Stage 6|Stage 6]] of [[Rainbow Resort]] is based on ''Kirby's Dream Land'', featuring a grayscale environment and the original [[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]] theme. In ''Kirby's Adventure'', enemies, items, and the heads-up display are depicted in grayscale as well.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
====Spring Breeze====
{{Main|Spring Breeze}}
In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', one of the [[Sub-Game]]s is named Spring Breeze, which is a condensed version of ''Kirby's Dream Land''. Some differences include:
*Obtaining [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] and making [[helper]]s.
*Items that give Kirby powers are gone.
*[[Castle Lololo]] is incorporated into Float Islands.
**[[Kabula|Kaboola]] is not battled at the end of [[Float Islands]]. Instead, [[Lololo & Lalala]] are battled.

====Revenge of the King====
{{Main|Revenge of the King}}
Exclusive to ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', the game mode [[Revenge of the King]] also takes cues from both Spring Breeze and ''Kirby's Dream Land''. Specifically, it pays homage to the Extra Game in the latter by including enemies like [[Koozer]], [[Flotzo]], and [[Blatzy]] in place of their normal counterparts and features five stages with souped-up versions of the original ''Kirby's Dream Land'' bosses (including [[Kabula]]).

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
[[File:KTD Lollipop Land Stage 2 5.png|thumb|200px|A portion of the unfurled tapestry from Lollipop Land, which depicts Green Greens.]]
In [[Lollipop Land - Stage 2|Stage 2]] of [[Lollipop Land]], a tapestry can be found that - when unfurled - depicts the original [[Green Greens]] stage from this game in its original monochrome sprite-based look.

In addition, another tapestry can be found in the last extra stage of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' - [[Royal Road - Stage 8 EX]] - which depicts Kirby and King Dedede battling in [[Bubbly Clouds]] using the same classic style.

===''Kirby's Blowout Blast''===
{{Main|Kirby's Blowout Blast}}
The downloadable title based on [[Kirby 3D Rumble]] is in many ways an homage to ''Kirby's Dream Land'', featuring stage elements and bosses from the game.

For example, the five main levels are based on the five stages of ''Kirby's Dream Land'' and use their musical themes. Bosses such as [[Lololo & Lalala]] and [[Kracko Jr.]] appear at the end of stages. A [[Sparkling Star]] also appears at the end during the fights with [[King Dedede]] to turn him into Giant King Dedede.

In addition, Kirby uses no Copy Abilities in this game, relying almost exclusively on his Inhale to dispatch enemies.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
[[File:KSA Extra Planet Delta 15.jpg|thumb|200px|This monochrome area in ''Kirby Star Allies'' is meant to call back memories of Green Greens in ''Kirby's Dream Land''.]]
The last extra stage in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' - [[Extra Planet δ]] - features a section at the end which is displayed in monochrome and resembles the [[Green Greens]] stage in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', including the "IN" side area. The original Green Greens theme plays here as well.

In addition, when completing Soul Melter EX difficulty in [[The Ultimate Choice]], a [[Dream Button]] appears on the main menu which allows the player to change Kirby's look to make him resemble his original artwork from ''Kirby's Dream Land''.

==References outside the ''Kirby'' series==
*''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]'' - The [[mariowiki:Unibō|Unibō]] enemy from this game looks very much like the Gordo, and could possibly be based on it.
*''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' - [[zeldawiki:Sea Urchin|Sea Urchins]] from this game bear a strong resemblance to Gordos. An enemy also appears in this game called '[[zeldawiki:Anti-Kirby|Anti-Kirby]]' which looks very similar to the real one.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. games]]'' - [[smashwiki:Dream Land GB|Dream Land GB]] is a stage that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', which takes its general appearance, default music, and graphical style directly from ''Kirby's Dream Land'', scrolling through various areas of the game as displayed by a [[Game Boy]].

==Trivia==
*The international box art has a few oddities: most infamously, Kirby is colored white, despite being pink on the Japanese cover art. This trait also extends to the North American TV ad, which carries over Kirby's design from the international box art. In addition, an unknown enemy that could be taken as [[Booler]] appears, if not for the nose, eyeballs and its worm-like appearance rather than a ghost-alike. Others include [[Gordo]] having a mouth and [[Bronto Burt]] having a nose.
**The reason for Kirby's white design is unclear. [[Satoru Iwata]] considered the change to relate to Western marketing,<ref>{{cite person|quote=In addition, some people in the Western market said a pink soft character floating in air would never be accepted. So in the West, they changed Kirby's colour on the box from pink to white.|name=Satoru Iwata|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a86nyE9Ha0U|title=GDC 2011 keynote}}</ref> while Masahiro Sakurai believed it came from a simple mistake due to the colorless sprites of the Game Boy.<ref>{{cite person|quote=海外のカービィが白だったのは、ゲームボーイのROMが白黒だけだったため、海外の人が勘違いしたから。|name=Masahiro Sakurai|url=https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/43007166520627200|title=Twitter}}.</ref> The ''[[20th Anniversary Kirby Dream Encyclopedia]]'' sides with Sakurai's explanation.<ref>{{cite book|quote='''海外ではカービィは白かった！'''<br>

It is said that there was a misunderstanding with the overseas staff due to the black-and-white screen of the Game Boy.|book=20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia|publisher=Shogakukan|page=59}}</ref>
*In the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUY2AtBD6Sk "Development Secrets of the Original Kirby <nowiki>[Grab Bag]</nowiki>"], Masahiro Sakurai explains that in his original draft for how the [[health]] and [[damage]] system would work in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', Kirby would be sent flying if hit by most enemies, flying farther the more damage he had taken, and would only be defeated if he was knocked fully off-screen before the camera could re-center on him. While this was not used in the final game, Sakurai points out that a similar concept would eventually resurface for the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] (on a further note, this original damage system would be implemented more-or-less exactly for [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''). On why the idea took so long to be implemented into a game, Sakurai states: "I had forgotten about it. Totally and completely."
*After the events of the story and before the following game, the denizens of Dream Land gifted Kirby [[Kirby's House|a house]] for helping them.<ref>{{cite book|quote=プププランドの人々を助けたカービィは、お私にもらった家で暮らしている。<br>
