![]() ![]() It’s a demonic being with a windy tornado for a body that teleports around clawing at you and occasionally screaming, tendrils of spit connecting the two halves of its mouth. A strange being called Nightmare who looks like if Cuphead had to fight a vampire. Now you get to fight the real villain of the game. There, you fly across the surface, keeping pace with the orb in the background as you watch it hatch into some sort of foreboding shape. Eventually, you beat the orb and you chase it to Planet Popstar’s equivalent of a moon. Suddenly you’re in what feels like a side-scrolling shooter game, dodging stars being thrown at you by the orb while shooting back with the Star Rod. Kirby and Dedede freak out and as the orb takes to the sky, Dedede inhales Kirby and the Star Rod and launches them both after the orb, into space. The sky does from day to night and a strange orb covered in stars rises from the fountain. Kirby shakes the beaten King off him and replaces the Star Rod back on the fountain. The moment is strangely out of place and uncomfortable compared to the rest of the game. He doesn’t try to take the rod back, he just begs Kirby to stop. Kirby walks to replace the wand on the fountain and King Dedede shows up and clamps onto Kirby’s feet. He walks off the side of the intro screen and the camera scrolls with him, leaving the title screen behind him like a prop from a stage show. But Kirby did something I’ve never seen before. Suddenly, (go ahead and cut to 2:10) I was shown a screen like when you start a new world. But I eventually beat him, reclaimed the Star Rod, and was ready to bring peace back to Dream Land. He would attack me with the hammer I had already seen in the games multiple minigames. He had a similar ability to inhale and inflate. The fight with King Dedede went as expected. I’m going to post a video of the final boss fight of Kirby’s Adventure here but talk about what happens below it. I’d finally get to take down King Dedede. It was a blast.īut now I had the game and I could actually sit down and beat it. All with no energy meters or limited ammo. But with Kirby you were suddenly tearing through stages as a wheel, cutting through things as an agile swordsman, or even flying around charging up different sorts of weapons as a UFO. Most of the time a game would give you one, maybe two powerups that allowed you to mostly change what shot in front of you. The ability to gain many abilities which completely changed the game was incredible. Graphically the game was full of personality. ![]() Every time I played it though I loved it. There was a Kirby that came out on the Game Boy earlier but I hadn’t had a Game Boy yet. I had played it before over at friends’ houses the year prior but only for short bits of time. Not to show my age but I was fourteen that year and I was playing a game I had just got as a gift for the Nintendo Entertainment System, “Kirby’s Adventure”. WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Kirby and the Forgotten Lands and pretty much any other Kirby game as well.
