Product Details
Description
Kirby, that pink puffy resident hero of Dream Land, embarks on another adventure to save his neighbors from King Dedede, who has interrupted everyone's peaceful dreams. Kirby must collect the scattered pieces of the Star Rod and restore the Fountain of Dreams. How's he going to do this? By copying the bad guys' best moves and eating--yes, eating--them and their weapons. One copy of the game supports up to four players (via the separately sold Game Link Cable) with special mini games, but if there's a copy of the game in Game Boy Advance, players can play cooperatively through the game.

fun game but doesnt last long
Yes this game is very fun i got it yesterday and i alrdy beat it so if u play gameboy advance alot i wouldn't suggest this game u will beat it within hours.
For a gamer like me, TOO SHORT
Since the SNES days, I have been a tremendous fan of Kirby. The little pink fluff ball can easily addict you to play, so I picked this game up from a local store. On the box it seemed pretty cool, but what glitters isn't gold. My family was going on a trip, so I brought the game along. It appeared after one and a half hours I was bored with nothing to do. I was very disappointed with this game.
Graphics: (3/5) The graphics are SNES quality, not so great. The backrounds aren't detailed at all and could use more work. Also, the enemies are poorly animated and are the exact size as our main hero Kirby, but don't put up a fight. Not great.
Storyline (3/5) I guess this is a strong point of the game, but still very weak. These nightmares have been attacking the dream fountain, and King Dedede stole the star wand. Its up to Kirby to save Dream Land before the nightmares take over. Not much detail or drama, at all. Meh.
Gameplay (2/5) Ok, sure new morphs were added in (they are sooooo cool!), but the gameplay is really bad. The levels can take as much as a minute and a half to complete for a novice gamer, and there are only five levels and a boss per world. Since there are seven worlds that have five levels in them, that is only about an hour and fifteen minutes worth of gameplay. Then on level eight, the final boss, there are tons of forms so it takes around 10-15 minutes to kill. I could point out about a thousand new morph and level ideas to make this game longer.
Controls: (3/5) The controls are really simple (THANKFULLY), but I dont think there is a use for the L and R buttons - I forget, I haven't played the game in ages- which is minus two points. And there are no combo's or anything combining two buttons. That makes the game bland and standard.
Replay Value (2/5) The replay value stinks as well. There is only one secret if you beat the game with 100%, and I do not find it worth playing. I'm not sure about you, but I wouldn't want to play those easy levels again. Not good.
Overall:(2.7/5) We'll just call that three stars. The game isn't a horrible one for ages 4-7, but aside from that, it's a piece of cake. This game does have really bad points, but it has some good ones too. I love the mini-games and arena fights. That just brings back the memories of playing the classic Kirby. I wouldn't recommend buying this game at all, but instead you should go rent it. Overall the game will satisfy you anywhere from 2 hours to 2 days.
kirby kirby kirby
this game if fun when you first play it bu after u have played it a few times it gets boring stay away from this game if u r not a fan of the show so i give 3 stars
fun while it lasts
Kirby is one of the few title where you can say, with full confidence and sanity "i just kicked a whole army's ass with a pink, puffy,.....thing!" nightmare in dreamland is definately not the kirby for the ages. The game itself is classic kirby fun, witha few new added morphs. unfortunately, the storyline is sketchy and hard to follow, and the game is extremely short and easy. i personally put abot two of my gaming hours into this game, which is a meer drop compared tot he 37 hours i have saved to my final fantasy X file. Also, once you ahve run through the game, there really is no reason to do so a second time, because there are NO unlockables waht so ever. Don't get me wrong, the gmeplay of this game is still good fun, but if you have a super nintendo, you will find much more entertainment in kirby superstar.
Not a bad entry in the Kirby series
First, this is not an original game. Kirby: NiDL is a port of the NES classic, Kirby's Adventure. It is not a straight port, but a remake, but basically you're playing the same game with updated graphics and sound. I found the difficulty to be a little bit easier than the original, although if you remember playing this on NES, it's a wee bit harder to get used the controls. This is especially true if you are playing on a GBA SP, as your hands are kind of squished together. The sound is excellent in my opinion. All of the songs have been remixed for this version, and they sound good for GBA. The graphics are good for GBA, but the backgrounds will BLOW YOUR MIND, especially if you have played the original. They look like they were handpainted. Gameplay is solid, but easier than the original. The sub-games have been changed for this version, but they are fun nevertheless. All in all, not a bad game. If you've never had the chance to play the NES version, I'd recommend you pick this one up.
