Kirby's Adventure

I love Kirby so fucking much.

Probably worthy of sharing the title with Mario Bros. 3 as the best NES game (with the rest of my top five probably rounding out with Mega Man 2, Duck Tales and Little Nemo: The Dream Master). Beautiful graphics on par with some SNES games, rich and varied level design, tons of secrets, exciting boss battles and charming clever minigames. An example of a sequel truly expanding and better its predecessor in every way imaginable, and maybe still my favorite Kirby game.

I'm still surprised the NES didn't explode when you put this game in. It's on par with a shitty SNES game it looks that amazing.

an absolutely majestic achievement. looks better than a number of SNES games and most GBA games. Sakurai also accomplished something brilliant, realizing that video games could still be made to appeal to people who suck at video games, without sacrificing a more sophisticated audience. of course, he forgot that lesson when he made Brawl

As a kid I loved this, and it's the only core Kirby game I've ever played. I'm not sure why, it just didn't come with me. But back then being able to suck up enemies and take their powers was really cool. Hell, it's still pretty cool. And since it was Kirby it wasn't too hard for my stupid kid brain/skills.
