Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a fun platformer for the Game Boy Advance. It's a remake of an older game called Kirby's Adventure, which came out on the NES. A remake means the game was rebuilt with new graphics and sounds, but it keeps the same story and gameplay. In Japan, this game is known as Hoshi no Kābī Yume no Izumi Derakkusu.

About the Game
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land lets you join Kirby on an exciting adventure. The story is about the Fountain of Dreams, which gives everyone in Dream Land happy dreams. But something has gone wrong! The Fountain of Dreams has stopped working, and now everyone is having nightmares.
Kirby's Mission
Kirby finds out that the evil King Dedede has broken the Star Rod into seven pieces. The Star Rod is the source of power for the Fountain of Dreams. King Dedede has given these pieces to his friends, hiding them across Dream Land. Kirby's job is to travel through different worlds, defeat enemies, and get all seven pieces of the Star Rod back. Only then can he restore the Fountain of Dreams and bring happy dreams back to everyone.
How to Play
This game is a platformer, which means you guide Kirby through levels by jumping, running, and flying. Each level has different challenges, enemies, and secrets to find.
Kirby's Special Powers
Kirby has a unique ability: he can inhale enemies! When he sucks up an enemy, he can either spit them out as a star to hit other enemies or swallow them to gain their special powers. For example, if Kirby inhales an enemy that breathes fire, he might get the "Fire" ability, letting him shoot fireballs. There are many different copy abilities to discover, like Sword, Beam, Cutter, and more. Using these powers helps Kirby defeat tougher enemies and solve puzzles.
Exploring Dream Land
You'll explore many different areas in Dream Land, from green fields to icy mountains and even outer space. Each area has multiple levels and a boss fight at the end. Defeating the boss usually gets Kirby one piece of the Star Rod.
Release and Platforms
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land first came out in Japan on October 25, 2002, for the Game Boy Advance. It then came to North America in December 2002 and Europe in September 2003. Years later, the game was also released on the Virtual Console for the Wii U. This allowed more players to enjoy the classic adventure on a newer console.
