Gameplay
In this game, players control Kirby as he ventures through his home of Dream Land to stop the villainous Nightmare. Kirby can suck enemies into his mouth, and either spit them out in a star-shaped projectile, or swallow them. If Kirby swallows certain enemies, usually ones that are directly aggressive, he can gain the ability of it - for example, swallowing the beam-emitting Waddle Doo allows Kirby to shoot a long-ranged beam whip towards the ground in front of him. If Kirby is hit while he has an ability, he will lose it, and can suck up the bouncing ability star to regain it. In certain stages, Kirby must fight a mini-boss, who often has a rarer ability. Kirby has six life points which are indicated by a meter on the bottom of the screen, which can be replenished with food items found in the stages.
