When the people of Dream Land stop dreaming, Kirby investigates and finds King Dedede bathing in the Fountain of Dreams. The nasty king has broken the Star Rod that powers the fountain into pieces and spread them around the land. Despite Dedede's pleading, Kirby sets out to restore the Star Rod and return dreams to Dream Land - but why is Dedede so desperate to stop him?

This is the first sequel to Kirby's Dream Land, providing you with more levels and more powers. Each world has a limited number of levels available at first, and as you complete levels or find secret switches then more of the map becomes available. In each level you have to avoid enemies and navigate traps to reach the Star Door at the end.

As well as inhaling enemies and floating on air, Kirby has gained a new power: after swallowing an enemy, Kirby may be able to gain that enemy's special power. His new abilities can even help to defeat certain enemies or solve certain puzzles.

Each world has minigames to play for extra lives, and a museum where Kirby can pick a special power to use. At the end of each world is a boss enemy that must be defeated to gain a piece of the Star Rod. Once you have all of them you can face the final challenge.

A complete graphical remake of Kirby's Adventure. Beautiful CGI scenery replaces the simple pixel backgrounds of the original. The sprites are better animated (especially Kirby) and many enemies and minibosses have grown.
