www.nintendo.com – Game Boy Advance:
    Kirby's Game Boy Advance debut is D-D-Delightful!

    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.

    • Watch Kirby transform into 24 humorous and powerful forms by eating and copying his enemies' attacks.
    • Use Game Boy Advance Game Link cables to connect with up to three friends and play through Kirby's adventure simultaneously!
    • Compete in fun minigames like Quick Draw, Bomb Rally and Kirby's Air Grind.
    • Eye-popping graphics bring Kirby's universe to life in amazing detail!
    How does Kirby find himself wrapped up in another crusade for the residents of Dream Land? Not surprisingly, the notoriously naughty King Dedede is to blame. King Dedede has stolen the Star Rod, which fuels the Fountain of Dreams. Unable to dream, the poor residents of Dream Land become unsettled and the peaceful land falls into turmoil.

    Kirby may not look tough, but he hasn't survived a 10-year video game career by being a softie! Kirby, a Warpstar Knight-in-training, is able to float over dangerous obstacles, eat enemy projectiles and copy his enemies' abilities.

    Bottom Line

    Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is great for Kirby fans because of the wide variety of copy abilities Kirby can use throughout the game. Awesome graphics and solid play control add to the game's appeal, while the minigames really pump up the replay value. Once again, Kirby serves up a super-fun adventure that's fun for players of all ages!
