'''''Kirby's Adventure'''''{{efn|Known in Japan as {{nihongo3|'''''Kirby of the Stars: The Story of the Fountain of Dreams'''''|星のカービィ 夢の泉の物語|'''''Hoshi no Kābī: Yume no Izumi no Monogatari'''''}}}} is a 1993 [[action game|action]]-[[platformer|platform game]] developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (NES). It is the second game in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series after ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' (1992) on the [[Game Boy]] and the first to include the [[Copy Ability]], which allows the main character [[Kirby (character)|Kirby]] to gain new powers by eating certain enemies. The game centers around Kirby traveling across Dream Land to repair the Star Rod after [[King Dedede]] breaks it apart and gives the pieces to his minions.

[[Masahiro Sakurai]] returned as director after serving the same role for ''Kirby's Dream Land''. He conceived the copy ability to add more challenge and [[replay value]] after the last game received criticism for its simplicity. Because the NES hardware had greater graphical power than the Game Boy and programmers were skilled with the now antiquated hardware, HAL Laboratory was able to create impressive visuals. ''Kirby's Adventure'' is the first game to depict Kirby in color. Sakurai had always planned him to be pink, much to the surprise of other staff.

''Kirby's Adventure'' was well received and commended for its tight controls, level variety, and the new copy ability. It was [[Video game remake|remade]] in 2002 for the [[Game Boy Advance]] with enhanced graphics and [[Multiplayer video game|multiplayer]] support, titled '''''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'''''. The original NES version was re-released later via Nintendo's [[Virtual Console]] digital distribution services, the [[Wii]] compilation disc ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection]]'', the [[NES Classic Edition]], the [[Nintendo Classics]] service, and with [[stereoscopic 3D]] for the [[Nintendo 3D Classics|3D Classics]] product line for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. In retrospect, journalists have ranked it among the best NES games.

==Development==
[[File:NES-Console-Set.jpg|thumb|right|The NES was already on the market for eight years when ''Kirby's Adventure'' was released.]]
''Kirby's Adventure'' was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] in [[Kōfu]] as a [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (NES) successor to their 1992 [[Game Boy]] game ''Kirby's Dream Land''.<ref name="shmulations" /> [[Masahiro Sakurai]] returned as director and designer,<ref name="retrospective">{{cite web |last1=Fox |first1=Glen |title=Feature: A Kirby Retrospective: From Game Boy To Nintendo Switch |url=http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/03/feature_a_kirby_retrospective_from_game_boy_to_nintendo_switch |website=[[Nintendo Life]] |access-date=July 16, 2018 |date=March 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180717070705/http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/03/feature_a_kirby_retrospective_from_game_boy_to_nintendo_switch |archive-date=July 17, 2018 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}</ref> with Takashi Saitou assisting designing.

As a result, little of ''Kirby's Adventure'' is based on ''Kirby's Dream Land'': "Even though we could use the same [[pixel art]] for Kirby, when it came to capacity and what was possible, all that expanded greatly with NES."<ref>{{cite interview |last=Sakurai |first=Masahiro |interviewer-last=Sao |interviewer-first=Akinori |title=Kirby Super Star Developer Interview - SNES Classic Edition |url=https://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic/interview-kirby/ |publisher=[[Nintendo]] |date=October 10, 2017 |access-date=August 21, 2019 |archive-date=August 17, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190817122322/https://www.nintendo.com/super-nes-classic/interview-kirby/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

HAL Laboratory wanted to expand Kirby's existing repertoire of moves. ''Kirby's Dream Land'' was designed for beginner players, but as a result received criticism from more experienced players looking for a challenge. With ''Kirby's Adventure'', Sakurai wanted to retain simple gameplay, but improve it so skilled players would enjoy it. This led to the conception of the Copy Abilities, which the team hoped would allow players to experiment and improve the [[replay value]].<ref name="shmulations"/><ref name="20thbook">{{cite book |title=Kirby's 20th Anniversary Celebration Book |date=July 19, 2012 |publisher=[[Nintendo]]}}</ref>{{rp|16}} HAL Laboratory created over 40 Copy Abilities, after which they selected their favorites to include in the final game.<ref name="shmulations"/> They also added minigames because they feared that Kirby's expanded set of moves would give players the impression that ''Kirby's Adventure'' was a difficult game. They were designed to be simpler and easier than the main game. Kirby was also given the ability to run faster and perform a slide attack to increase the game's pace.<ref name="20thbook"/>{{rp|17}}

Programmers were skilled with squeezing power out of the ten-year-old NES hardware by 1993.<ref name=":6" /> Kirby's spit attack was made stronger if multiple enemies or objects were inhaled, something they had wanted to implement in ''Kirby's Dream Land''.<ref name="20thbook"/>{{rp|17}} ''Kirby's Adventure'' is the first game to depict Kirby in color.<ref name="20thbook"/>{{rp|15}} Sakurai had always envisioned Kirby as pink, but the Game Boy's [[monochrome]] visuals rendered him white in ''Kirby's Dream Land''. The other staff were shocked when they learned Kirby was pink. Kirby's [[Sprite (computer graphics)|sprite]] was also made larger after players complained he was too small in his Game Boy debut. While backgrounds are typically designed by someone experienced in [[game mapping]], for ''Kirby's Adventure'', HAL Laboratory had an artist draw pictures of the backgrounds, which were then handed to the mapper to work into the game. According to Saitou, they were supposed to be "pretty enough just to look at on their own."<ref name="shmulations" /> ''Kirby's Adventure'' also marks the first appearance of [[Meta Knight]], who appears as an unnamed boss in one of the game's levels.<ref name="retrospective"/><ref name="20thbook"/>{{rp|17}}

The game was published by [[Nintendo]] in Japan on March 23, 1993,<ref>[https://cdn.wikimg.net/en/strategywiki/images/9/94/Hoshi_no_Kirby_flyer2.jpg ''Kirby's Adventure'' flyer] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180715235902/https://cdn.wikimg.net/en/strategywiki/images/9/94/Hoshi_no_Kirby_flyer2.jpg |date=July 15, 2018 }}.

The multiplayer mode in the remake ''Nightmare in Dream Land'' would reprise the yellow coloration used for a second-player Kirby in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'' (1994), itself the initial coloration for Kirby proposed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] before the original ''Kirby's Adventure''{{'}}s release. In subsequent games, a yellow color palette would become a recurring colorization for multiplayer Kirbys in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, often as the default color for the second player.<ref name="kirby facts">{{cite web | url=http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/41729/11-amazing-kirby-facts-and-secrets/ | title=11 amazing Kirby facts and secrets | author=Zablotny, Marc | date=September 10, 2012 | work=[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] | access-date=January 23, 2014 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141031152020/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/41729/11-amazing-kirby-facts-and-secrets/ | archive-date=October 31, 2014 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
