[edit] Gameplay
[edit] Level design
Kirby's Adventure's story is linear. When one stage is cleared, the door to the next stage appears in the level's lobby. Also, what makes the game lobby unique from most other games is that it is part of the actual game. The game lobby is like the side-scrolling stages.
The game lobby is made of 7 individual lobbies, with the Level 7 Boss Room linking directly to the last boss. There are 4 to 6 stages each, with a boss room for each level. After a boss is defeated, the boss room will lead to the entrance to the next stage.
There are also bonus rooms in each lobby. Each level has 1 to 3 different mini-game rooms. Depending on the player's progress through the mini-games, they may earn bonus points or extra lives. Most levels have a Museum, in which Kirby can swallow 1 or 2 different enemies for a free copy ability (the enemies cannot hurt him in this room). There is also the Arena, in which Kirby can fight a mini-boss and earn a Maxim Tomato after defeating it. There is also the Warp Star Station, in which Kirby may take a Warp Star directly to another level. Sometimes, these bonus rooms must be unlocked through the use of switches in various stages.
The normal stages are standard side-scrolling adventures with enemies. At the end of each stage, Kirby goes through a goal game.
[edit] Kirby's moves
In Kirby's Adventure, Kirby is able to, for the first time, use copy abilities. He also is bestowed the jumping, flying and inhaling moves from his previous game.
[edit] Plot
The game starts with Kirby taking a nap, but something's wrong. Kirby has had no dreams, a truly unusual event in Dream Land. Kirby decides to visit the Fountain of Dreams, where all dreams spring from, to see if anything bad has happened to it. Upon his arrival, he finds King Dedede bathing in its waters. He finds that Dedede has broken the Star Rod, the power source of the fountain, into seven pieces, giving six pieces to his friends and keeping one himself. Kirby decides to track down the fragments to restore peaceful sleep and order to Dreamland.
The game consists of seven worlds, which all have a boss. Each boss has one piece of the Star Rod.
The bosses are:
- Whispy Woods (1 - Vegetable Valley)
- Paint Roller (2 - Ice Cream Island)
- Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright (3 - Butter Building)
- Kracko (4 - Grape Garden)
- Heavy Mole (5 - Yogurt Yard)
- Meta Knight (6 - Orange Ocean)
- King Dedede (7 - Rainbow Resort)

| Kirby defeats Dedede. Kirby reassembles the Star Rod and places it in the Dream Fountain, but something emerges from the fountain. It is Nightmare, an evil being whom Dedede had hid the Star Rod from by breaking it and spreading the pieces of it around. So Dedede was only trying to help Dream Land after all, and Kirby had unwittingly done Nightmare's work for him. Nightmare flies into the sky, and Kirby, armed with the Star Rod (which seems to also be rather useful as a weapon, and not just a power source), hops into Dedede's mouth and is shot into battle with Nightmare, the final boss. Kirby and Nightmare fly into space and land on Pop Star's moon. Kirby kills Nightmare, and ends up destroying a big portion of the moon in the process. Kirby returns to the Dream Fountain and places the Star Rod back in there, and everything returns to normal with the dreams back in Dreamland. |
