This is the game that introduced Kirby to the world of gaming.  It is a fun little side scrolling game.  Kirby is probably the cutest marshmallow hero ever invented.  He can fly, suck up and spit out enemies along with objects.  In this first installment he could not use weapons or allies until later games.  Kirby's Dream Land is a great game for kids of all age groups, like Mario the game is pretty straightforward side scrolling fun.  Most players will finish the game pretty quickly.  But if you want to see the true ending you have to beat the game on hard mode and that is not a cakewalk and is actually pretty cool and worth your time.  The game has 4 main stages with unique bosses at the end of each stage.  I would easily rate this a 5 star game it is a fun little adventure game.  These are the type of games that made the Gameboy a great console even without color, the play control and quality gameplay make this one of the best games of the 1st generation Gameboy.
