  • Summary: When King Dedede steals the Star Rod, it's up to Kirby to recover the fragmented pieces from Triple D's underlings and restore power to the Fountain of Dreams. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is an action-packed side-scrolling adventure chock full of awesome copy abilities and fast-moving gameplay. Kirby may not look tough, but he can float over dangerous obstacles, eat enemy projectiles, and copy his enemies' abilities. You can use these skills in the single-player story mode or multiplayer mode with up to three friends using the Game Boy Advance Link cable.… Expand

    With fantastic level designs, great enemies and power-ups, as well as the addition of some fun and entertaining multiplayer modes, Kirby is a must have.

    Unless you want a mega-dose of pink cotton candy, you'll likely be bored stiff.

    El primer juego de Kirby para esta portátil nos devolvió a los orígenes de la saga. Un título al mas puro estilo de este simpático personaje, volviendo a la base plataformera en side-scroll.… Expand

    All kirby games are the same, which makes this one incredibly boring and the easy bosses add to its boringness.
