To start with, I'll have to admit that I love Kirby games. The first Kirby game I played was Kirby's Dreamland and it was cool enough! Next I played Kirby's Adventure and it was mind blowing! The ability to suck in a baddie and take over it's power was an incredible idea. That's why I'm happy to say this...

Graphics: This game has really good graphics for an NES game! Of course it was made closer to the end of the Nintendo era so it's obvious that the people that made it had better technology to use than the people that made Duck Hunt, but still the graphics are good! Alot of the graphics look cartoonish and colorful which is very fitting for a Kirby environment.

Sound: It's basic sound for a game like this, if Kirby shoots a laser you'll hear a Tseeerrrr! sound and if Kirby spits fire you'll hear a kind of Fwooom! sound. So nothing really fancy, but the music is a good translation of what you hear on the Game Boy version Kirby's Dreamland.

Playability: This game is fun! I can't imagine someone not having with this. There is so much variety it could make someone puke. But seriously, the swallowing of bad guys, bonus games, nice save feature and over 40 levels will probably keep you playing. Especialy if you like to vaccuum.

Lastability: Using the different abilities of characters provides so much replay value! And if that isn't cool enough the save feature allows you to play Bonus Games and fight bosses whenever you want if you sucessfully beat the game. Also if you swallow two different guys at a time the ability chooser will spin around wildly and give you a random ability that may not even exist on the level your playing!

Overall: I'm glad I bought this game and give it a definite "A" for everything! It's multi layered graphics, cool power ups, high action, lots of levels design goes beyond what I had ever imagined in a Kirby game so it certainly gets a - 93% Nicky Rumfield
