As they've proven over and over again with the Super Mario Bros. series, Nintendo is brilliant when it comes to making cute, involving, immensely enjoyable platformers. Kirby's Adventure furthers Nintendo's illustrious reputation by way of a little pink ball who can perform the basics of running, jumping ,and swimming, in addition to a variety of special maneuvers including sliding, shooting air pellets, and spitting back at enemies anything he may have swallowed. Also, when Kirby gobbles up an enemy with a special attribute (such as the ability to shoot beams or wield hammers), he will take on that attribute. Adding to the game's variety and enormous replay value are bosses that are a joy to do battle with, cleverly designed levels, and an assortment of fun mini-games (such as Egg Catcher) that will really suck you in.
