Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a remake of Kirby's Adventure for the Game Boy Advance. It was developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo in 2002 by HAL Laboratory and Nintendo. The game features new and redesigned sub-games, all of which have up to 4-player support through multiplayer. A new Extra Game starring Meta Knight was added as an unlockable mode, Meta Knightmare. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land was released around the debut of the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, which is reflected by the art style used on the North American commercial and its box art. This game also introduced the modern logo.

Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land was ported to the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2014.

Story

Main article: Kirby's Adventure#Story

The story is the same as the NES original: the Star Rod of Dream Land was stolen by King Dedede, and the residents have been unable to dream. Kirby goes through seven levels on an adventure to recover the item, and fights a boss at the end of every one. In the end, King Dedede reveals that he stole the Star Rod to hide it from the nightmares, and Kirby has to go through an eighth level to defeat it.

Sub-games

There are three normal sub-games: Quick Draw, Bomb Rally, and Kirby's Air Grind. The player can unlock the Boss Endurance mode after completing the game in regular mode.
