Back in the olden days, the rainbow was implied for you peons playing out and about.
A mysterious force named Dark Matter has possessed King Dedede, and it aiming to ruin Dream Land! Kirby has to team up with some animal-like creatures in order to stop it!
Although Kirby featured in a small handful of spinoff titles in his early years, Dream Land 2 is only the third game in the series. This was also the second handheld game in the series, following Kirby’s Adventure on the NES. Which means the series still has a lot of growing to do. Although the number of copy abilities might seem smaller than what Adventure had to offer, this is the first game to try ability combinations. More specifically, powers function differently when Kirby teams up with one of his three Animal Friends. Rick the hamster (-like), Coo the Owl (-like), and Kine the fish (-like). These companions have their own advantages on their own, but they also change the nature of Kirby’s seven copy abilities in their own ways.
Also important to note, for this LP I’m using the Kirby’s Dream Land 2 DX hack by kkzero. Dream Land 2 was originally for the Game Boy, which meant it was just in black and white. While it was certainly compatible with the Super Game Boy Adapter, it still used a pretty limited color palette. Plus, then it’s not a handheld game anymore. The DX hack properly colorizes the game, and it looks quite nice.
