Kirby's Adventure is a platforming game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993.
Kirby's Adventure is a platformer. The game consists of seven worlds, each containing a set of regular levels, a boss fight, and a Warp Star door, which enables Kirby to travel from world to world. Most worlds also contain mini-games, which allow Kirby to gain extra lives, museums, which allow Kirby to gain certain powers, and also certain Arenas, where Kirby must battle with a mini-boss to win health items and allow him to copy the boss' special ability afterwards. The game was the first in the series to include a save feature. It automatically saves the player's progress after each level, This was cutting edge back in the 90's!. Almost un-heard of!
The objective of each main level is simply to reach the end of the level. If Kirby touches an enemy or a dangerous object, he takes a point of damage, and if all of his hit points are lost or he falls off the bottom of the screen, the player loses a life. Kirby can touch or eat food items to immediately replenish health or gain temporary invulnerability. Kirby can walk, run, jump, and he can attack and dodge enemies by slide-tackling. He can also fly by inflating himself, and is able to reach any height that isn't blocked by an obstacle. While flying, Kirby cannot use his other abilities, but he can exhale at any time, releasing a puff of air that can be used to damage enemies or destroy blocks. Kirby's main ability allows him to inhale indefinitely, sucking nearby enemies and objects into his mouth. Once inhaled, objects remain in his mouth until he either spits them out, dealing damage to enemies and objects in front of him, or he simply swallows them. Upon swallowing certain enemies, Kirby immediately "copies" any special abilities that the enemy possesses, giving him access to a wide variety of powers, some of which may be needed to solve various puzzles. Usually, Kirby cannot inhale anything while he has use of a special ability, but he can "drop" the ability at any time, this happens automatically whenever he takes damage, sending it bouncing behind him as a star for a short time. Kirby can regain the ability by inhaling and swallowing the star shortly before it disappears. And the Verdict is...
Kirby’s Adventure has aged really well, it is still as playable as the day it was released. Packed with unique features, great graphics and sound, along with a great control feeling, this platformer will have you coming back for more and more. |
