Kirby's Dream Land (known as Hoshi no Kirby in Japanese, meaning "Kirby of the Stars") is a 1992 Game Boy game developed by Nintendo subsidiary HAL Laboratory. It is the first game of the Kirby series. The story is simple: The gluttonous King Dedede and his minions have stolen all of Dream Land's food and the Sparkling Stars used to harvest it, so Kirby sets off to right these wrongdoings and get the food back.Created and directed by a young HAL employee named Masahiro Sakurai (he was just 19 when he came up with the Kirby character), the game was deliberately designed to be short and easy to allow younger kids to get into video games without having to contend with the high difficulty that Nintendo titles were infamous for. A hidden "Extra Game" mode was also included to ramp up the difficulty for more experienced players. The venture proved to be a success, sparking the growth of one of HAL's most famous franchises.It was also released for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2011 and appeared in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition in 2012. It also served as heavy inspiration for the "Spring Breeze" sub-game in Kirby Super Star for the SNES, as well as "Revenge of the King" in the Kirby Super Star Ultra remake for the Nintendo DS.note It should be noted however, that in terms of presentation, it's really a parody of "Revenge of Meta Knight", also from Kirby Super Star. | |

Smart Bomb: The Mike item, which kills all enemies on screen. Unlike its ability counterpart in later games, it can only be used once. Just before each of the bosses in Mt. DeDeDe, there is a dancing Kirby. Touching this dancing Kirby kills all enemies on the screen. This is necessary to proceed, as there is a Gordo in the doorway to the boss that can't be removed any other way. | |

Power-Up Food: The Superspicy Curry is a dish that gives Kirby the ability to spit fire for a limited time. The Mint Leaf (Sweet Potato in the original Japanese version) causes Kirby to puff up and lets him rapid-fire air bullets for a limited time. Kirby gets a permanent Mint Leaf for the battle with Kaboola. | |

Some of the items were renamed in the original localization: Superspicy Curry became Spicy Food, Sweet Potato became Mint Leaf, and Energy Drink became Pep Brew. The oddest has to be the Maxim Tomato which became a "Bag of Magic Food". While most of these renames didn't carry over to subsequent installments, the Mint Leaf stuck. | |

The Stinger | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_48081842 | comment |
The Stinger: After beating the game normally, King Dedede is seen landing in front of the Extra Game code after getting tossed out his castle. He eventually recovers, throws a small tantrum, and runs off. Once the Extra Game is beaten, he instead lands in the same area (this time showing the Config Mode code) but can't even bring himself to get up. Kirby eventually shakes him awake and Dedede cries for a moment before sulking off in defeat. | |

Artwork and Game Graphics Segregation | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_49354751 | comment |
Artwork and Game Graphics Segregation: Kirby's official art in the game's manual and on the US box art depicts him with small Blush Stickers consisting of two hatched lines. However, his cheeks are blank in-game (as is also the case on the Japanese box art and cartridge label), even during the game's ending, which features a close enough view of Kirby to potentially make these markings visible. Bronto Burt is depicted in official art with Black Bead Eyes, whereas its sprite sports wide eyes with visible sclerae, a trait that would carry over to later games' depictions both in-game and in artwork. Dizzy's official art depicts it walking on its feet; in-game, meanwhile, it only ever appears flying through the air. The game's US box art depicts Gordo with a mouth, which is absent from its in-game sprite. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: You can't copy abilities, dash, slide, swim, or save progress after beating a stage. It's just simple suck-and-spit attacks, and inhaling multiple enemies at once doesn't let Kirby spit a more powerful star that goes through all enemies on the screen. On top of that, King Dedede is the unambiguous Big Bad in this game rather than simply possessed or fighting Kirby due to a misunderstanding. In lieu of Copy Abilities, a small set of power-ups (namely the Superspicy Curry, Mint Leaf, and Microphone) appear in the levels, which give Kirby limited-time abilities. None of the power-ups would return in the main series due to Copy Abilities making them redundant, though the Superspicy Curry appears in the Super Smash Bros. series while the Mint Leaf and Microphone appear in the Kirby Fighters series. The Boss Rush in this game is a mandatory part of clearing the final level, and there are small levels before each boss. Later Kirby games would keep the Boss Rush optional and have it consist entirely of fighting bosses, with only Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby and the Forgotten Land revisiting the idea of having boss refights in the main story. King Dedede is the first and only boss of this game that creates stars while attacking (which are used to inhale and spit back to attack him) rather than obvious projectiles. Compare this to later Kirby games, where many bosses create stars through their attacks, even when they provide Kirby with other projectiles to inhale. Western commercials and box art also depicted Kirby as white just like the typical Game Boy screen, even though Kirby was always colored pink in Japanese material since day one.note Most people believed that this was the result of Masahiro Sakurai and Shigeru Miyamoto arguing over Kirby's color, but contrary to popular belief, they never actually argued; as this interview explains, Miyamoto only thought that Kirby was yellow until he saw the color illustration. | |

Friendly Enemy | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_5aa8d3d8 | comment |
Friendly Enemy: After clearing Extra Game, a cutscene shows King Dedede sulking from his defeat. Kirby walks up to console him, then runs after him as he slinks away. This planted the seeds for Dedede's Anti-Villain personality, which would be further established in Kirby's Adventure. The scene is recreated in the ending of Super Star Ultra's "Revenge of the King", with the Waddle Dees consoling Dedede in place of Kirby. | |

Nintendo Hard: The Extra Game can be very punishing to unfamiliar players. All enemy damage is doubled, they move faster, some bosses have newer strategies, and the final boss moves much faster. New enemies have been added in place of some weaker enemies. Also, you can set the health and extra lives counter all the way down to one—one slip up, and it's all the way back to the title screen! | |

| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: While it's common knowledge nowadays, the boss fight with King Dedede was this back in the day. Unlike the other bosses, Dedede gives you no obvious attacks that you can inhale and spit back at him. To defeat him, you have to inhale the stars that briefly appear when he strikes the ground with his hammer or when he lands from a jump, and spit those back at him. | |

Laughably Evil: What little we see of King Dedede in this game seems to indicate something like this. He decorates his castle with pictures of himself doing the V-Sign, and both of the endings have him behaving in a comical fashion. On normal difficulty he throws a childish temper tantrum before rushing off in a huff, and on hard he starts bawling like a baby causing Kirby to Sweat Drop with embarrassment. | |

Cultural Translation | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: In Japanese, one of the power-ups Kirby can get is the Sweet Potato. True to real life, eating it gives Kirby the hiccups, which causes him to get stuck in his inflated state and allows him to rapidly fire off air bullets. Since it was felt that non-Japanese audiences wouldn't understand this connection, Nintendo of America named it the Mint Leaf and explained that it lets Kirby defeat enemies with "minty-fresh breath" (though the sprite was unchanged, despite hardly looking like a leaf). This difference has carried over to every subsequent game that features the power-up, with 3D games giving it a distinct model for the international versions. | |

Whispy Woods in the Extra Game. He drops Gordos, which do three units of damage out of a maximum of six. And while he does that, you need to look for apples to shoot at him. | |

Big Bad | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_970c790a | comment |
You can't copy abilities, dash, slide, swim, or save progress after beating a stage. It's just simple suck-and-spit attacks, and inhaling multiple enemies at once doesn't let Kirby spit a more powerful star that goes through all enemies on the screen. On top of that, King Dedede is the unambiguous Big Bad in this game rather than simply possessed or fighting Kirby due to a misunderstanding. | |

Despair Event Horizon: After being defeated by Kirby a second time in Extra Mode, King Dedede can't even bring himself to get back up for another rematch, begins crying and ultimately gives up. He then sulks away while being followed by Kirby. This effectively paints all of his relationships with Kirby in the following games. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Some of the items were renamed in the original localization: Superspicy Curry became Spicy Food, Sweet Potato became Mint Leaf, and Energy Drink became Pep Brew. The oddest has to be the Maxim Tomato which became a "Bag of Magic Food". While most of these renames didn't carry over to subsequent installments, the Mint Leaf stuck. The setting of the game was changed from Pupupuland to Dream Land. This ended up working out in the localization's favor with the next game, which introduced prominent Dreams vs. Nightmares theming to the series. | |

Color Wash | |
| Kirby's Dream Land (Video Game) / int_e394c5d | comment |
Color Wash: The Super Game Boy is precoded to play this game with a pinkish-red palette by default, reflecting Kirby's pink and red color scheme. This palette remained the same in the west despite Kirby being white-skinned on the boxart, likely because a grayscale palette would be counter-intuitive to the SGB's gimmick of playing Game Boy games in color. Likewise, the Game Boy Color has a special preset palette for this game where foreground objects are pinkish-red and background objects are yellow-green. | |
